1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 included herein
have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested
that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
December 31, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto. The results of the operations for the six months ended June
30, 2010 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year.
2. OPERATIONS
a)
Organization
Delta Oil
& Gas, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on
January 9, 2001.
The
Company is an independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the
exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties in
the United States and Canada. The Company’s entry into the natural
gas and oil business began on February 8, 2001. Prior to the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009, the Company was designated as a development stage
enterprise.
The
Company is subject to several categories of risk associated with its development
stage activities. Natural gas and oil exploration and production is a
speculative business, and involves a high degree of risk. Among the
factors that have a direct bearing on the Company’s prospects are uncertainties
inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves, future hydrocarbon
production, and cash flows, particularly with respect to wells that have not
been fully tested and with wells having limited production histories; access to
additional capital; changes in the price of natural gas and oil; availability
and cost of services and equipment; and the presence of competitors with greater
financial resources and capacity.
The oil
and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and
clean-up costs. At this time, management knows of no substantial
costs from environmental accidents or events for which the Company may be
currently liable. In addition, the Company’s oil and gas business
makes it vulnerable to changes in prices of crude oil and natural
gas. Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected
to be volatile in the future. By definition, proved reserves are
based on current oil and gas prices and estimated probable
reserves. Price declines reduce the estimated quantity of proved and
probable reserves and increase annual depletion expense (which is based on
proved and probable reserves).
b)
Business
acquisition
On March
26, 2009, the Company acquired 80.31% of The Stallion Group (“Stallion”), a
Nevada corporation, whose principal business is in the identification,
acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties. To fund the acquisition
of the Common Stock, the Company issued 3,909,005 shares of common stock and
paid $46,908 in cash to the holders of the Stallion’s common stock that was
tendered for a value of $0.04. Each common share of Stallion was
exchangeable for 0.333333 of the Company’s common shares and $0.0008 in
cash. As of March 26, 2009, the Company owned 58,635,139 shares of
Common Stock, which represents approximately 80.31% of the shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding. Following is a summary of purchase
price allocation:

c)
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern.
As shown
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred
a net loss of $6,035,037 since inception. To achieve profitable
operations, the Company requires additional capital for obtaining producing oil
and gas properties through either the purchase of producing wells or successful
exploration activity. Management believes that sufficient funding
will be available to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash
needs for working capital and is currently evaluating several financing
options. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its properties
and, if successful, to commence the sale of its projects under
development. As a result of the foregoing, there exists substantial
doubt the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a)
Basis of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States and include the financial
statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Oil & Gas
(Canada) Inc. and 80.31% of The Stallion Group. All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
b)
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant estimates with regard to these financial
statements include the estimate of proved natural gas and oil reserve quantities
and the related present value of estimated future net cash flows there
from.
c)
Natural
Gas and Oil Properties
The
Company accounts for its oil and gas producing activities using the full cost
method of accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, all costs associated with the
acquisition of properties and exploration with the intent of finding proved oil
and gas reserves contribute to the discovery of proved reserves, including the
costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease
rentals are capitalized. All general corporate costs are expensed as
incurred. In general, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas
properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain
or loss recorded. Amortization of evaluated oil and gas properties is
computed on the units of production method based on all proved reserves on a
country-by-country basis. The net capitalized costs of evaluated oil
and gas properties (full cost ceiling limitation) are not to exceed their
related estimated future net revenues from proved reserves discounted at 10%,
and the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, net of tax
considerations. These properties are included in the amortization
pool immediately upon the determination that the well is dry.
Unproved
properties consist of lease acquisition costs and costs on wells currently being
drilled on the properties. The recorded costs of the investment in
unproved properties are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the
projects can be determined or until they are impaired.Unevaluated oil and gas
properties are assessed at least annually for impairment either individually or
on an aggregate basis.
d) Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Company has adopted “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” of the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification, which requires that asset retirement
obligations (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived
asset, including natural gas and oil properties, be recognized as liabilities in
the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting
increase in the carrying amount of the associated assets. The cost of tangible
long-lived assets, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such
that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the assets. The
ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as
the discounted cash flows are accreted to the expected settlement value. The
fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at
the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e)
Oil and
Gas Joint Ventures
All
exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others and,
accordingly, the accounts reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in
such activities.
f)
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded
when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to
the customers. Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk
refined products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker
lifting has occurred. Revenues from the production of oil and natural
gas properties in which the Company shares an undivided interest with other
producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by the Company during
the period. Gas imbalances occur when the Company’s actual sales
differ from its entitlement under existing working interests. The
Company records a liability for gas imbalances when it has sold more than its
working interest of gas production and the estimated remaining reserves make it
doubtful that the partners can recoup their share of production from the field.
As at June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no overproduced
imbalances.
g)
Cash and
Cash Equivalent
Cash
consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions, and
to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances. The
carrying amounts approximated fair market value due to the liquidity of these
deposits. For purposes of the balance sheet and statements of cash
flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of
three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash
equivalents.
h)
Restricted
Cash
Restricted
cash consists of funds deposited in a trust account for the Texas Prospect,
which can only be used for drilling and completion costs associated with the
first well that is being drilled at this location.
i)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and
cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company
maintains cash at two financial institutions. The Company
periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of financial institutions, and
maintains cash accounts only in large high quality financial institutions,
thereby minimizing exposure for deposits in excess of federally insured
amounts. The Company believes credit risk associated with cash and
cash equivalents to be minimal. Deposits are insured up to $93,932,
the amount that may be subject to credit risk for the six months ended June 30,
2010 is $nil.
The
Company has recorded trade accounts receivable from the business operations.
Management periodically evaluates the collectability of the trade receivables
and believes that the Company’s receivables are fully collectable and that the
risk of loss is minimal.
j)
Environmental
Protection and Reclamation Costs
The
operations of the Company have been, and may be in the future be affected from
time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations,
including those for future removal and site restorations costs. Both
the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may
vary from region to region and are not predictable.
The
Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant
legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible
measures. Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing
environmental and reclamation programs will be charged against statements of
operations as incurred or

Protection and Reclamation Costs (continued)
capitalized
and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits. The
Company does not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures for
environmental control facilities because all property holdings are at early
stages of exploration. Therefore, estimated future removal and site
restoration costs are presently considered minimal.
k)
Foreign
Currency Translation
United
States funds are considered the Company’s functional
currency. Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into their United States dollar equivalents at exchange rates
prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities
are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect exchange rates prevailing at
that date, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the
historical rate of exchange. Gains and losses arising from
restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at each year-end
are included in other comprehensive income/(loss).
l)
Other
Equipment
Computer
equipment is stated at cost. Provision for depreciation on computer
equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of three years.
m)
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
In the
event that facts and circumstances indicate that the costs of long-lived assets,
other than oil and gas properties, may be impaired, and evaluation of
recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the
estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be
compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market
value or discounted cash flow value is required. Impairment of oil
and gas properties is evaluated subject to the full cost ceiling as described
under Natural Oil and Gas Properties.
n)
Loss Per
Share
As
required by the “Earnings Per Share” Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification, basic and diluted earnings per share are to be
presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into
consideration common shares outstanding(computed under basic earnings per share)
and potentially dilutive common shares.
o)
Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences of (i) temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities, and their reported amounts in the financial statements, and (ii)
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax
purposes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, based upon management’s estimates, it is more likely than not that a
portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future
period.
p)
Financial
Instruments
The FASB
Accounting Standards CodificationFinancial Instruments requires an entity to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. The standard establishes a fair value
hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the
inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization
within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. The standard prioritizes the inputs
into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalent, accounts
receivable, franchise tax prepaid, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and
project cost advance received.
It is
management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or
credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value
of these financial instruments is approximated to their carrying
values.
p) Comprehensive
Loss
Reporting
Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and
its components in the financial statements. The Company is disclosing this
information on its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
and Consolidated Statement of Operations.
q) Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with Share-Based Payments
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement
and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all
share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock
options.
Shared
Based Payments requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based
awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This
model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding
a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are
not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of
the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is
recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite
service period.
All
transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the
issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

NATURAL
GAS AND OIL EXPLORATION RISK
|
a)
Exploration
Risk
The
Company’s future financial condition and results of operations will depend upon
prices received for its natural gas and oil production and the cost of finding,
acquiring, developing and producing reserves. Substantially all of
its production is sold under various terms and arrangements at prevailing market
prices. Prices for natural gas and oil are subject to fluctuations in
response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors
beyond its control. Other factors that have a direct bearing on the
Company’sprospects are uncertainties inherent in estimating natural gas and oil
reserves and future hydrocarbon production and cash flows, particularly with
respect to wells that have not been fully tested and with wellshaving limited
production histories; access to additional capital; changes in the price of
natural gas and oil; availability and cost of services and equipment; and the
presence of competitors with greater financial resources and
capacity.
b)
Distribution Risk
The
Company is dependent on the operator to market any oil production from its wells
and any subsequent production which may be received from other wells which may
be successfully drilled on the Prospect. It relies on the operator’s
ability and expertise in the industry to successfully market the
same. Prices at which the operator sells gas/oil both in intrastate
and interstate commerce will be subject to the availability of pipe lines,
demand and other factors beyond the control of the operator. The
Company and the operator believe any oil produced can be readily sold to a
number of buyers.
c)
Credit
Risk
A
substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable is with joint venture
partners in the oil and gas industry and is subject to normal industry credit
risks.
d)
Foreign
Operations Risk
The
Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations, political risks, price
controls and varying forms of fiscal regimes or changes thereto which may impair
its ability to conduct profitable operations as it operates internationally and
holds foreign denominated cash and other assets.

CURRENT
LIABILITIES
|
The
Company received $130,071 as at June 30, 2010, from Hillcrest Resources Ltd., as
its share in the Texas project. The Company will expend these funds
for drilling the first exploration hole.
7.
ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The
Company follows the Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations Topic of the
FASB Accounting standards Codification. This addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement
costs. It also requires recognition of the present value of
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the
period in which it is incurred. As of June 30, 2010 andDecember 31,
2009, the Company recognized the future cost to plug and abandon the gas wells
over the estimated useful lives of the wells in accordance with Asset retirement
Obligations of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The
liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a
corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is
recorded at the time a well is completed and ready for
production. The Company amortizes the amount added to the oil and gas
properties and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted
liability over the remaining life of the respective well. The
estimated liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning
wells, estimated useful lives based on engineering studies, external estimates
as to the cost to plug and abandon wells in the future and federal and state
regulatory requirements. The liability is a discounted liability
using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 12%.

in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Delta Oil” mean
Delta Oil & Gas, Inc. and our subsidiaries unless otherwise
indicated.
Business
of Delta Oil
We were
incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 9, 2001 under
the name Delta Oil & Gas, Inc. We are engaged in the acquisition,
exploration and development of North American oil and gas properties. Because
oil and gas exploration and development requires significant capital and our
assets and resources are limited, we participate in the oil and gas industry
through the purchase of minority interests in either producing wells or oil and
gas exploration and development projects.
Our current focus is on the exploration
of our land portfolio comprised of working interests in acreage in King City,
California; South Central, Oklahoma; and Eastern, Texas. As a result
of our acquisition in March 2009 of a controlling interest in The Stallion
Group, a Nevada corporation, we expanded our property interests to include
acreage in the North Sacramento Valley, California.
Texas
Prospect
On July
15, 2009, we entered into an assignment agreement with
Mr. Barry Lasker (the “Assignor”) and were assigned all of Assignor’s
rights and obligations under two oil, gas and liquid hydrocarbon lease
agreements, each dated March 26, 2009 (the “Leases”) covering an aggregate area
of approximately 243 acres in Newton County, Texas (the “Texas
Prospect”). These Leases provide us with the ability to drill up to 3
exploration wells. The costs of the leases were
$169,566. In December 2009, we sold a sixty (60%) percent interest in
the Leases to Hillcrest Resources Ltd. (“Hillcrest”) and received
$111,424. As at June 30, 2010, the costs of the leases were
$74,018.
Following our disposition of a 60%
interest in the Leases to Hillcrest, we will be responsible for 40% of all costs
allocated to the Leases, drilling and completion of up to 3 exploration wells.
We anticipate the dry hole costs to be approximately $442,000. Once
the 3 exploration wells are drilled, completed and production commences, if at
all, we will receive a percentage distribution of net revenue, after deduction
of all applicable expenses and royalties of approximately 25%, according to the
following table:

Under the terms of the Leases, we have
the ability to participate in additional wells drilled in the Texas
Prospect. In the event that we elect to participate, we will
negotiate with Hillcrest our respective levels of participation in additional
wells. Our percentage of the costs and net revenue distribution, both
before and after payout, associated with each additional well will be
proportional to our level of participation.
The Company transferred its
proportionate share of the drilling and completion costs during the quarter
ended June 30, 2010. On June 4, 2010, the first well (the “Donner
#1”) was successfully drilled and encountered hydrocarbons. The well
was completed and the Company is expecting this well to go into production
during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
2009-3 Drilling Program - 4
Wells
On August
7, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Ranken Energy to participate in a
four well drilling program in Garvin County, Oklahoma (the “2009-3 Drilling
Program”). We purchased a 6.25% working interest before casing point
and 5.0% working interest after casing point in the 2009-3 Drilling Program for
$37,775. In addition to the total buy-in cost, we are responsible for
our proportionate share of the drilling and completion costs. During
the year ended December 31, 2009, we paid additional drilling costs in the
amount of $78,090. The first well (the “Jackson #1-18”) started
production during the quarter ending March 31, 2010 and the second well (the
“Miss Gracie #1-18”) started production during the quarter ending June 30,
2010. The following represents the revenues from this drilling
program:

The increase in revenues for both
periods was due to wells not being in production for both periods during the
corresponding prior year. Drilling and completion costs of $127,878
were moved to the proved properties pool for depletion.
The third and fourth wells in this four
well drilling program have also been drilled, completed and are undergoing
further testing in order to determine whether commercially viable quantities of
hydrocarbons are present.
2009-1 Drilling Program - 5
Wells
On July
27, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Ranken Energy to participate in a
five well drilling program in Garvin County, Oklahoma (the “2009-1 Drilling
Program”). We initially acquired a 5.0% working interest in the
2009-1 Drilling Program in exchange for our payment of a total of $13,125 in
buy-in costs, which equates to $2,625 in buy-in costs for each well, plus our
proportionate share of the drilling and completion costs. During the
fourth quarter of 2009, our working interest in the 2009-1 Drilling Program was
reduced to 3.75%. The reduction in our working interest was
attributable to the landowner exercising an option to increase its working
interest causing in a proportional reduction to all working interests held in
this drilling program.
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, we paid estimated drilling and completion
costs of $72,175 for
three wells which we refer to as Saddle #1-18, Saddle #2-18
and Saddle #3-18. The first three wells in this drilling
program started to produce hydrocarbons during the quarter ending March 31,
2010. Total revenue received from all three wells for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 was $7,482 (June 30, 2009: $nil) and for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 was $19,073, (June 30, 2009: $nil). The
increase in revenue for both periods is due to the wells not being in existence
for the corresponding periods in the prior year.
2007-1 Drilling Program - 3
Wells
On
September 10, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Ranken Energy to
participate in a four well drilling program in Garvin County, Oklahoma (the
“2007-1 Drilling Program”). We purchased a 20% working interest in
the 2007-1 Drilling Program for $77,100. Drilling of the first and second wells
(the “Pollock #1-35” and the “Hulsey #1”) was completed in the N.E. Anitoch
Prospect and the Washington Creek Prospect respectively. The Pollock
#1-35 did not prove to be commercially viable, but the Hulsey #1 has been
producing in the range of approximately 50 to 60 barrels of oil per day with
approximately 50 Mcf of natural gas per day since February 2008.
Drilling of the third well in this
drilling program (the “River #1”) was completed during the three months ended
September 30, 2008. River #1 is currently in production and the total
revenue received for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $11,475 (June 30,
2009: $8,897) and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $24,982 (June 30,
2009: $21,305), the small increase in revenue was caused by an increase in the
commodity prices during the period.
Hulsey #1-8 started producing during
the first quarter of 2008 and the total revenue received for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 was $19,972 (June 30, 2009: $550) and for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 was $40,064 (June 30, 2009: $1,244). The increase
in revenue was caused by the stimulation of the well which resulted in higher
production rates and also an increase in commodity prices during the
period.
Hulsey
#2-8 commenced production during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
produced $6,403 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 (June 30, 2009: $4,933)
and $6,403 in oil revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (June 30,
2009: $8,256). The reduction in revenue for the six months ended June
30, 2010,as compared to the same period in the prior year was caused by a
suspension of production from the Hulsey #2-8 well due to maintenance and
weather related issues that occurred during the first quarter of
2010. Our proportionate costs associated with the Hulsey #2-8 well
amounted to $139,674, which was moved to the proved properties cost pool for
depletion.
2006-3 Drilling
Program
On April
17, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Ranken Energy Corporation (“Ranken
Energy”) to participate in a six well drilling program in Garvin and Murray
counties in Oklahoma (the “2006-3 drilling Program”). The leases
secured and/or lands to be pooled for this drilling program total approximately
820 net acres. We agreed to take a 10% working interest in this program. To
date, we have paid the sum of $514,619.
Three
wells drilled (the "Wolf #1-7", the "Loretta #1-22" and the “Ruggles #1-15")
were deemed by the operator to not be commercially viable and as such, were
plugged and abandoned in September 2007. The proportionate costs
associated with these abandoned wells amounted to $244,989, which were moved to
the proved properties cost pool for depletion.
Three other wells drilled (the
“Elizabeth #1-25”, the “Plaster #1-1” and the “Dale #1 re-entry”) were deemed by
the operator to be commercially viable and production casing was set in
each. The Elizabeth #1-25 located in the Meridian Prospect cost
$99,129, the Plaster #1-1 located in the Plaster Prospect cost $116,581, and
re-entry into the Dale #1 located in the Dale Prospect cost $18,150, all of
which was paid August and September, 2007. Subsequent to the
completion of these wells, two remain economically viable at this
time. The Plaster #1 encountered hydrocarbon showings and is
producing natural gas with amounts of associated oil as of January,
2008. The Dale #1 re-entry has been producing in the range of 2 to 3
barrels of oil per day. The Elizabeth #1-25 has been plugged and
abandoned as of February 7, 2008.
Total
revenue received from the Plaster #1 and Dale #1 wells for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 was $3,118 (June 30, 2009: $2,066). Total revenue
received from the Plaster #1 and Dale #1 wells for the six months ended June 30,
2010 was $4,018 (June 30, 2009: $2,887). The increase in
revenue was caused by an increase in commodity prices.
The operator, Ranken Energy, is
reviewing the productivity levels from these wells and may propose the drilling
of additional wells in the Dale Prospect and the Crazy Horse
Prospect. We anticipate that we would participate in these wells to
the same extent as in the original drilling program, which is a 10% working
interest.
Wordsworth
Prospect
On April
10, 2006, we entered into a farm-out, option and participation letter agreement
(“FOP Agreement”) where we acquired a 15% working interest in certain leasehold
interests located in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada referred to as the
Wordsworth area for the purchase price of $152,724. We are responsible for our
proportionate share of the costs associated with drilling, testing, and
completing the first test well on the property. In exchange for us paying our
proportionate share of the costs associated with drilling, testing, and
completing the first test well on the property, we earned a 15% working interest
before payout and a 7.5% working interest after payout on the Wordsworth
prospect. Payout refers to the return of our initial investment in the property.
In addition, we also acquired an option to participate and acquire a working
interest in a vertical test well drilled to 1200 meters to test the
Mississippian (Alida) formation in LSD 13 of section 24, township 7, range 3
W2.
During June 2006, the first well was
drilled to a horizontal depth of 2033 meters in the Wordsworth prospect. The
initial drilling of this well and subsequent testing revealed that this well
contained oil reserves suitable for commercial production. In June 2006, this
initial well began producing as an oil well.
A second horizontal well was drilled in
May 2007 at a cost of $198,152. Initial logs indicated hydrocarbon showings in
an oil-bearing zone estimated to be approximately 770 feet in the horizontal
section. However, due to the high water content in fluid removed from this well,
the operator determined that it was not commercially productive and it was
plugged and abandoned. In April 2008, the operator recommended
re-entering the second horizontal well with a view to drilling horizontally in a
different direction starting at the base of the vertical portion of that well.
We elected to participate in this re-entry on the same terms and conditions as
the previous wells. This well was drilled at a cost of $33,812. No
economic hydrocarbons were found and this well was plugged and
abandoned.
On
November 2, 2009, we announced the completion and production of a third well at
the location 2A2-23-7-3W2. The total cost of this well was
CDN$67,253. The well has started production and we began receiving
royalties from this well during November 2009.
The
revenue received from all wells in the Wordsworth prospect for the three months
ending June 30, 2010 was $61,138 (June 30, 2009: $37,301). The
revenue received from all wells in the Wordsworth prospect for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $126,055 (June 30, 2009:
$77,116). The increase in revenue was caused by the addition of a two
new successful wells and the increase in commodity prices; however, this was
partially offset by the disposal of 2.5% of our interest in the Wordsworth
Prospect for $214,961, effective on June 1, 2009, thereby reducing our interest
from 7.5% to 5%.
On July
1, 2010, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with
Petrex Energy Ltd. (“Petrex”) whereby Petrex agreed to purchase our remaining 5%
working interest in the Wordsworth prospect and our right to participate in
future wells in the Wordsworth prospect for CDN $757,500, inclusive of 5% GST on
Tangibles, which equates to US $704,490. The Agreement closed on
August 3, 2010. As of the closing date, we disposed of our entire
working interest in the Wordsworth prospect.
Willows Gas
Field
On
February 15, 2007, Stallion, our majority-owned subsidiary, entered into a Farm
Out Agreement with Production Specialties Company (“Production Specialties”) for
participation in a natural gas prospect area located in the North Sacramento
Valley, California. On October 15, 2007, Stallion drilled its first
prospect well paying 12.5% of the costs of the first well to earn a 6.25%
working interest. For subsequent wells, Stallion will pay 6.25% of
the costs of future wells to earn 6.25% working interest. Stallion
participated in the drilling of the first well (“Wilson Creek
#1-27”) on the prospect area and encountered a number of prospective
pay zones. Testing was completed and stabilized flow rates exceeded a
combined 1.5 million cubic feet per day of sweet high quality
gas. Thereafter, the Wilson Creek #1-27 was connected to a nearby
pipeline and begun producing natural gas in April 2008. Total costs
for the Wilson Creek #1-27 well in the end year ended December 31, 2009 was
$255,971. During 2009 and in light of the lower natural gas commodity
prices, we reviewed the future economic viability of this well and decided to
suspend production until further notice in order to determine whether production
of this well will be profitable. During the quarter ended March 31,
2010, we decided to resume production on this well due to an increase in
commodity prices. The total revenue received from the Wilson Creek
#1-27 well for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $4,233 (June 30, 2009:
$nil). Total revenue received from Wilson Creek #1-27 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 was $9,596 (June 30, 2009: $nil). The
increase in revenue was caused by our decision to resume production in the
reporting period.
King City,
California
On May
25, 2009, we entered into a farm-out agreement with Sunset Exploration
(“Sunset”), a California corporation, to participate in the drilling and
exploration of lands located in Monterey County, California. The
prospect area where the drilling and exploration will take place is comprised of
approximately 10,000 acres. We are obligated to pay 66.67% of the
costs of the initial test well up to casing point, in order to earn a 40.0%
working interest. Thereafter, we will be obligated to pay 40.0% of
the costs of any future wells which we elect to participate in order to earn a
40.0% working interest. We paid Sunset $100,000 as an advance towards
the permitting and processing of lands and the costs of a gravity survey and a
2D seismic program. We commenced a gravity
survey and 2D seismic program in August 2009. Following receipt of
the results from the gravity survey and 2D seismic program, we decided to pursue
further 2D seismic analysis in order to identify viable hydrocarbon targets for
its first test well, which we anticipate will be completed by December 31,
2010.
Palmetto Point Prospect - 12
Wells Phase - I
On
February 21, 2006, we entered into an agreement with 0743608 B.C. Ltd.,
(“Assignor”), a British Columbia based oil and gas exploration company, in order
to accept an assignment of the Assignor’s 10% gross working and revenue interest
in a ten-well drilling program (the “Drilling Program”) to be undertaken by
Griffin & Griffin Exploration L.L.C. (“Griffin Exploration”), a Mississippi
based exploration company. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid
the Assignor $425,000 as payment for the assignment of the Assignor’s 10% gross
working and revenue interest in the Drilling Program. We also entered
into a Joint Operating Agreement directly with Griffin Exploration on February
24, 2006.
The
initial Drilling Program on ten wells on the acquired property interest was
completed by Griffin Exploration. On August 4, 2006, we paid $70,000
to Griffin Exploration in exchange for our participation in an additional two
well program, which has also been completed. The prospect area owned
or controlled by Griffin Exploration on which the wells were drilled is
comprised of approximately 1,273 acres in Palmetto Point,
Mississippi. Twelve wells had been drilled resulting in seven
producing wells. We refer to this drilling program as Palmetto Point
Phase I.
Effective
February 1, 2009, we disposed of our interests in the Palmetto Point Prospect -
12 Wells Phase - I project described above. These interests were
disposed of together with the interests in the Palmetto Point Prospect – 50
Wells Phase II project described below. We received no revenue from
the Palmetto Point Phase I producing wells during the year ended December 31,
2009.
Palmetto Point Prospect - 50
wells – Phase II
During
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006, we entered into a joint venture
agreement to acquire an interest in a drilling program comprised of up to fifty
natural gas and/or oil wells. The area in which the wells are being
drilled is approximately 300,000 gross acres located between Southwest
Mississippi and Northeastern Louisiana. Drilling commenced in
September 2006. The site of the first twenty wells was located within
range to tie into existing pipeline infrastructure should the wells be suitable
for commercial production. The drilling program was conducted by
Griffin Exploration in its capacity as operator. We agreed to pay 10%
of all prospect fees, mineral leases, surface leases, and drilling and
completion costs to earn a net 8.0% share of all production zones to the base of
a geological formation referred to as the Frio formation and 7.5% of all
production to the base of a geological formation referred to as the Wilcox
formation. The cost during the quarter ending September 30, 2006
amounted to $100,000. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we
made additional payments of $300,000 that was employed in the further
development of prospects on lands in Mississippi and Louisiana in accordance
with the terms of the operating agreement.
We acquired, through our acquisition of
a controlling interest of the Stallion Group in March 2009, an additional
interest in this same drilling program. Pursuant to the agreement
entered into by the Stallion Group with Griffin Exploration on August 2, 2006,
the Stallion Group agreed to pay 30% of all prospect fees, mineral leases,
surface leases, and drilling and completion costs to earn a net 19.2% share of
all production zones to the base of a geological formation referred to as the
Frio formation and 17.25% of all production to the base of a geological
formation referred to as the Wilcox formation. The Stallion Group’s
cost during the quarter ending September 30, 2006 amounted to
$300,000. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Stallion
Group made additional payments of $600,000 that were employed in the further
development of prospects on lands in Mississippi and Louisiana in accordance
with the terms of the operating agreement. As a result of our
acquisition of a controlling interest of the Stallion Group in March 2009
pursuant to our tender offer, we became obligated to pay 40% of all prospect
fees, mineral leases, surface leases, and drilling and completion costs to earn
a net 27.2% share of all production zones to the base of a geological formation
referred to as the Frio formation and 24.75% of all production to the base of a
geological formation referred to as the Wilcox formation
Effective
February 1, 2009, we disposed of all of our interests in the Palmetto Point
Prospect - 50 Wells Phase - II project described above, including those
previously held by the Stallion Group. These interests were disposed
of together with the interests in the Palmetto Point Prospect – 12 Wells Phase I
for consideration of $200,367 plus a monthly payment of $500 for each monthly
period that these wells are in production up to a maximum of forty-eight
months.
No
revenue was received from the Palmetto Point Phase II producing wells during the
year ended December 31, 2009.
Hillspring
Prospect
On
November 26, 2004, through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Delta Oil &
Gas (Canada), Inc., we entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Win
Energy Corporation, ("Win Energy"), an Alberta based oil & gas exploration
company, in order to acquire an interest in leases owned by Win
Energy. On or about January 25, 2005, we paid Win Energy $414,766 in
exchange for a 10% working interest in one section of land (640 acres) in
Hillspring located approximately 90 miles south of Calgary, Alberta in the
Southern Alberta Foothills belt. During the three months ended March
31, 2009, management reassessed its participation in this project and determined
to abandon this project due to concerns regarding its
profitability. We did not incur any costs in connection with our
abandonment of this project and do not anticipate incurring any future
costs.
For the Six Months Ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenues
We
generated total revenue of $331,751 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an
increase of 151% from revenues of $132,481 for the six months ended June 30,
2009. Our revenues generated during the six months ended June 30,
2010 were entirely attributable to natural gas and oil sales. The
increase in revenues was due to an in increase in the number of producing wells
when compared to the corresponding period last year, particularly in our
Oklahoma area of interest. However, this was partially offset by the
part disposal of our working interest in the Wordsworth Prospect during the
quarter ended June 30, 2009. The increase is also attributed to an
increase in the price of natural gas and oil when compared to the corresponding
period last year.
Costs
and Expenses
We
incurred costs and expenses in the amount of $451,780 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010, a 66% decrease from costs and expenses of $1,345,441 for six
months ended June 30, 2009. The significant decrease in costs was
primarily attributable to us not incurring during the six months ended June 30,
2010 any impairment charges or losses from the sale of natural gas and oil
properties after having incurred a significant amount of these costs and
expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the six
months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a loss on sale of natural gas and oil
properties of $750,305 relating to our disposition of the Palmetto Point
Prospect 12 Wells Phase - I and 50 wells – Phase II projects and also an
impairment charge of $202,486 An increase in the price of
natural gas and oil resulted in no impairment charge when performing the ‘full
cost ceiling test’ for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Other
changes in our costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, when
compared the six months ended June 30, 2009, are described below:
·
|
General
and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased
to $329,294 from $292,222 for the six months ended June 30,
2009, an increase of 13%. The increase was
caused by an increase in stock based compensation and the inclusion of
costs related to the additional personnel that was acquired during the
merger with The Stallion Group.
|
·
|
Natural
gas and oil operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010
increased to $81,562 from $73,176 for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
an increase of 11%. The increase in operating expenses was
caused by the increase in producing wells when compared to the same period
in the prior year.
|
·
|
Depreciation
and depletion costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to
$39,635 from $25,704, representing an increase of 54%. The
increase was caused by an increase in production from our natural gas and
oil wells, in particular, our wells located in Garvin County,
Oklahoma.
|
Net
Operating Loss
The net
operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $120,029, compared to
a net operating loss of $1,070,869 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to
the factors described above.
Other
Income and Expense
We
reported other net income of $192 for the six months ended June 30,
2010, as compared to other net income of $5,672 in the six months ended June 30,
2009. Other income was attributable to interest received on bank
deposits.
Net
Loss Attributable to Delta Oil and Gas Inc.
As a
result of the above, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was
$123,510, compared to a net loss of $1,066,081 for the six months ended June 30,
2009.
For the three Months Ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009
Revenues
We
generated total revenue of $206,319 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an
increase of 222% from revenues of $64,040 for the three months ended June 30,
2009. Our revenues generated during the three months ended June 30,
2010 were entirely attributable to natural gas and oil sales. The
increase in revenues was due to an in increase in the number of producing wells
when compared to the corresponding period last year, particularly in our
Oklahoma area of interest. However, this was partially offset by the
partial disposal of our 2.5% of our working interest in the Wordsworth Prospect
during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The increase is also
attributed to an increase in the price of natural gas and oil when compared to
the corresponding period in the prior year.
Costs
and Expenses
We
incurred costs and expenses in the amount of $201,940 for the three months ended
June 30, 2010, a 81% decrease from costs and expenses of $1,064,153 for the
three months ended June 30, 2009. The significant decrease in costs
was primarily attributable to us not incurring during the three months ended
June 30, 2010 any impairment charges or losses from the sale of natural gas and
oil properties after having incurred a significant amount of these costs and
expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2009. During the
three months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a loss on sale of natural gas and
oil properties of $750,305 relating to our disposition of the Palmetto Point
Prospect 12 Wells Phase - I and 50 wells – Phase II projects and also an
impairment charge of $71,794 An increase in the price of
natural gas and oil resulted in no impairment charge when performing the ‘full
cost ceiling test’ for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Other
changes in our costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, when
compared the six months ended June 30, 2009, are described below:
·
|
General
and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010
decreased to $131,426 from $199,897 for the three months ended June 30,
2009, a decrease of 34%. The decrease was
caused by a decrease in stock based compensation which was partially
offset by the inclusion of costs related to the additional personnel that
was acquired during the merger with The Stallion
Group.
|
·
|
Natural
gas and oil operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010
increased to $41,529 from $36,403 for the three months ended June 30,
2009, an increase of 14%. The increase in operating expenses
was caused by the increase in producing wells when compared to the same
period in the prior year.
|
·
|
Depreciation
and depletion costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to
$28,340 from $4,941, representing an increase of $23,399. The
increase was caused by an increase in production from our natural gas and
oil wells, in particular, our wells located in Garvin County,
Oklahoma.
|
Net
Operating Income/(Loss)
The net
operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $4,378, compared
to a net operating loss of $857,632 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due
to the factors described above.
Other
Income and Expense
We
reported other income of $51 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as
compared to other income of $2,713 in the three months ended June 30,
2009. Other income was attributable to interest received on bank
deposits.
Net
Income/(Loss) Attributable to Delta Oil and Gas Inc.
As a
result of the above, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was
$1,695, compared to a net loss of $850,744 for the three months ended June 30,
2009.
There are
material events and uncertainties which could cause our reported financial
information to not to be indicative of future operating results or financial
condition. Our inability to successfully identify, execute or
effectively integrate future acquisitions may negatively affect our results of
operations. The success of any acquisition depends on a number of
factors beyond our control, including the ability to estimate accurately the
recoverable volumes of reserves, rates of future production and future net
revenues attainable from the reserves and to assess possible environmental
liabilities. Drilling for oil and natural gas may also involve
unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells but also from wells that are
productive but do not produce sufficient net reserves to return a profit after
deducting operating and other costs. In addition, wells that are profitable may
not achieve our targeted rate of return. Our ability to achieve our
target results are also dependent upon the current and future market prices for
crude oil and natural gas, costs associated with producing oil and natural gas
and our ability to add reserves at an acceptable cost. We do not
operate the properties in which we have an interest and we have limited ability
to exercise influence over operations for these properties or their associated
costs. Our dependence on the operator and other working interest
owners for these projects and our limited ability to influence operations and
associated costs could materially adversely affect the realization of our
returns on capital in drilling or acquisition activities and our targeted
production growth rate. As a result, our historical results should not be
indicative of future operations.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2010, we had total current assets of $362,766 and total current
liabilities in the amount of $164,814. As a result, we had working
capital of $197,952 as of June 30, 2010.
The
revenue we generated from natural gas and oil sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 did not exceed our operating expenses over the same
period. As such, we anticipate that we will require additional
financing activities including issuance of our equity or debt securities to fund
our operations and proposed drilling activities beyond the year ended December
31, 2010.
During
the six months June 30, 2010, we received $216,294 restricted cash from
financing activities, as compared $48,045 in expenses incurred on a Form S-4
registration of shares in connection with the offer to acquire shares of the
Stallion Group.
We will
require additional funds to expand our acquisition, exploration and production
of natural oil and gas properties. Our management also anticipates
that the current cash on hand may not be sufficient to fund our continued
operations at the current level for the next twelve
months. Additional capital will be required to effectively expand our
operations through the acquisition and drilling of new prospects and to
implement our overall business strategy. It is uncertain whether we
will be able to obtain financing when sought or obtain it on terms acceptable to
us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, the full
implementation of our ability to expand our operations will be
impaired. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial
dilution to our then existing shareholders.
Cash
Generated/(Used) in Operating Activities
Operating
activities generated $134,316 in cash for the six months June 30, 2010, compared
to $117,693 cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2009. Our positive cash flow for the six months March 31, 2010 was
caused by an increase in revenues earned during such period.
Cash
Used in / Provided by Investing Activities
Cash
flows used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was
$331,001, compared to $78,600 cash provided by investing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 2009. All cash used in investment activities
during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 related to investments in
natural gas and oil working interests.
Cash
from Financing Activities
Cash
flows used by financing activities for the six months June 30, 2010 were
$216,294, as compared to of $48,045 in expenses related to the cost of
registration of shares under the Form S-4 in relation to the Offer to acquire
shares of the Stallion Group, for the six months ended June 30,
2009.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements,
obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any
unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have material current or
future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or
significant components of revenue or expenses.
Going
Concern
As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of
$6,035,037 since inception. To achieve profitable operations, we
require additional capital for obtaining producing oil and gas properties
through either the purchase of producing wells or successful exploration
activity. We believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient
funding to meet our business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for
working capital and are currently evaluating several financing
options. However, there can be no assurances offered in this
regard. As a result of the foregoing, there exists substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical
Accounting Policies
In
December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical
accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The
SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important
to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain. We believe that the following accounting policies fit this
definition.
Oil and
Gas Joint Ventures
All
exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others and,
accordingly, the accounts reflect only our proportionate interest in such
activities.
Natural
Gas and Oil Properties
We
account for our oil and gas producing activities using the full cost method of
accounting as prescribed by the FASB Accounting Standards
Codifications. Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition
of properties and exploration with the intent of finding proved oil and gas
reserves contribute to the discovery of proved reserves, including the costs of
abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are
capitalized. All general corporate costs are expensed as incurred. In
general, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for
as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss
recorded. Amortization of evaluated oil and gas properties is
computed on the units of production method based on all proved reserves on a
country-by-country basis. Unevaluated oil and gas properties are
assessed at least annually for impairment either individually or on an aggregate
basis. The net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties
(full cost ceiling limitation) are not to exceed their related estimated future
net revenues from proved reserves discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or
estimated fair value of unproved properties, net of tax
considerations. These properties are included in the amortization
pool immediately upon the determination that the well is dry.
Unproved
properties consist of lease acquisition costs and costs on well currently being
drilled on the properties. The recorded costs of the investment in
unproved properties are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the
projects can be determined or until they are impaired.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded
when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to
the customers. Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk refined
products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker lifting has
occurred. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas
properties in which we share an undivided interest with other producers are
recognized based on the actual volumes sold by us during the
period. Gas imbalances occur when our actual sales differ from its
entitlement under existing working interests. We record a liability
for gas imbalances when we have sold more than our working interest of gas
production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that the
partners can recoup their share of production from the field. At June
30, 2010 and 2009, we had no overproduced imbalances.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk.
(Not
Applicable).
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2010. This evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Christopher Paton-Gay, and our Chief Financial Officer,
Mr. Kulwant Sandher. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Limitations on the
Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and
material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed
to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance
level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual
acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the internal control. The design of any system of
controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably
likely to materially affect such controls.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
