NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Brinx Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 23, 1998, and issued its initial common stock in February 2001.  The Company holds oil and gas interests in Oklahoma and California.  In 2006, the Company commenced oil and gas production and started earning revenues.

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation.  The results of operations for the three-month period ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 reserves.  Price declines reduce the estimated quantity of proved reserves and increase annual depletion expense (which is based on proved reserves).

OIL AND GAS INTERESTS

The Company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas activities.  Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development, including costs of unsuccessful exploration; are capitalized within a cost center.  No gain or loss is recognized upon the sale or abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and gas interests unless the sale represents a significant portion of oil and gas interests and the gain significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas reserves of the cost center.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas interests are computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves.  Amortizable costs include estimates of future development costs of proved undeveloped reserves.

Capitalized costs of oil and gas interests may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value, if lower, of unproved interests.  Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, and impairment is recognized.  The present value of estimated future net cash flows is computed by applying average prices, in the preceding twelve months, of oil and gas to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of year ends, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.

1.           ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.  At January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no overproduced imbalances.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are carried at net receivable amounts less an estimate for doubtful accounts.  Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions.  Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

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.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 360 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Oil and gas interests accounted for under the full cost method are subject to a ceiling test, described above, and are excluded from this requirement.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company follows FASB ASC 410-20 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.

FASB ASC 410-20 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.  The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset's carrying amount.

Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset.  The Company's asset retirement obligations are related to the plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and gas exploration activities.

INCOME / (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income/(loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year.  The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have the dilutive effect on income/(loss) per share.  The dilutive effect of outstanding options was nil as of January 31, 2014 and 2013.

The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

Basic earnings per share
  $ (0.00 )   $ (0.01 )
 
INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the firm’s assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. The firm’s tax assets and liabilities, if any, are presented as a component of “Other assets” and “Other liabilities and accrued expenses,” respectively, in the balance sheet.  Tax provisions are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation”. A tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A position that meets this standard is measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more likely than not be realized upon settlement. A liability is established for differences between positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. FASB ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interim period accounting and accounting for interest and penalties.

CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.  On occasion, the Company may have cash balances in excess of federally insured amounts.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENTS
 
All equity Investments are classified as available for sale and any subsequent changes in the fair value are recorded in comprehensive income.  If in the opinion of management there has been a decline in the value of the investment below the carrying value that is considered to be other than temporary, the valuation adjustment is recorded in net earnings in the period of determination.  The fair value of the investments is based on the quoted market price on the closing date of the period.

FAIR VALUE

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements”. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, investments in certificates of deposits, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. Marketable securities are valued using Level 1 inputs.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in certificates of deposit and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains cash at one financial institution.  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.

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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, which requires entities to disclose the following additional information about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI): (1) changes in AOCI balances by component, (2) significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either on the face of the income statement or as a separate footnote to the financial statements. For public entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $1,289,254 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 about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
2.         MARKETABLE SECURITIES

In August 2011, the Company received 800,000 common shares in Lexaria Corp. on the sale of its oil and natural gas interests in Mississippi, with a value of $0.34 per share.  The value of the shares at January 31, 2014 was $0.0524 per share, as compared to $0.055 per share as at October 31, 2013, giving rise to an unrealized loss of $2,080 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2014 (2013 – unrealized loss of $52,000).  The Company evaluated the prospects of Lexaria in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment.  Based on the evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the shares for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a recovery, the Company does not consider the shares to be other-than-temporarily impaired at January 31, 2014.

3.           ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consists of revenues receivable, interest receivable and other receivable.  The revenue receivable are from the operators of the oil and gas projects for the sale of oil and gas by the operators on the Company’s behalf and are carried at net receivable amounts less an estimate for doubtful accounts.  Management considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.  Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts or bad debt expense has been recorded.

Impairment

Under the full cost method, the Company is subject to a ceiling test.  This ceiling test determines whether there is an impairment to the proved properties.  The impairment amount represents the excess of capitalized costs over the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from the proven oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value if lower, of unproved interests.  There was $nil and $2,039 impairment cost for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Depletion
 
Under the full cost method, depletion is computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves.  Depletion expense recognized was $34,946 and $25,188 for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

5.           ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company follows FASB ASC 410-20 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”  which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  This policy 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 January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the Company recognized the future cost to plug and abandon the gas wells over the estimated useful lives of the wells in accordance with “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”.  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%.  Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in plugging and abandonment costs, well useful lives or if federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the plugging and abandonment of wells.

Hamm Litigation
 
In September 2010, two lawsuits were filed in the District Court of Garvin County in the State of Oklahoma by Harold Hamm (“Hamm”) against certain defendants (“Defendants”) and consolidated together alleging, among other things, that Hamm owns an interest in two oil and gas leases in Garvin County and is entitled to a 50% participatory interest.  The Company was not named as a party in these legal proceedings, but Hamm’s allegations include that he is entitled to a 50% participatory interest in the Joe Murray Farms well drilled as part of the 2009-3 Drilling Program, in which the Company purchased a 6.25% working interest before casing point and 5.0% working interest after casing point.  The Defendants and the Company believe that there is no merit to Hamm’s allegations.  In connection with these proceedings, the Defendants were ordered in January 2011 to escrow fifty percent (50%) of the revenues generated within the subject area pending the outcome of these proceedings.  For this reason, fifty percent (50%) of the revenues the Company is entitled to that have been generated by production from the Joe Murray Farms well is being escrowed and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to recover these proceeds.  The Company recognized $1,828 in revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2014, and $12,391 in revenue during the year ended October 31, 2013. As at January 31, 2014, revenue from the Joe Murray Farms totaling $184,790 has not been recognized as revenue and is being escrowed pending the outcome of these proceedings.

Beckett Complaint

In April 2013, Jeffrey R. Beckett, a shareholder of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Washoe County, Nevada against the Company, its directors, Kenneth A. Cabianca and George Knight, and a principal of one of the Company’s consultants, Sarah Cabianca, generally alleging mismanagement of the Company’s affairs by the directors to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. The lawsuit seeks the issuance of an injunction, the appointment of a receiver and unspecified damages. In June 2013, Mr. Beckett filed a similar complaint against the same defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada.  The Company believes this lawsuit has been improperly brought and lacks merit. The Company is vigorously defending the lawsuit.

Item 2.          Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview

We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. As production of these products continues, they will be sold to purchasers in the immediate area where the products are extracted.

Our original business plan was to proceed with the exploration of the Antelope Pass Project to determine whether there were commercially exploitable reserves of gold located on the property comprising the mineral claims.  Based on the geological report and recommendation prepared by Leroy Halterman, who was our geological consultant at that time, we completed geological mapping, sampling and assaying in connection with the first phase of a staged exploration program during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.  In 2005, we suspended our activities on the Antelope Pass Project indefinitely in order to focus on our oil and gas properties and we did not conduct any operations or exploration activities on the Antelope Pass Project during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013 or 2012 or the three months ended January 31, 2014.  The Company allowed the lease to expire during the three months ending January 31, 2014.
 
Our plan of operations is to continue to produce commercial quantities of oil and gas and to drill new exploratory and development wells and re-entries to test the oil and gas productive capabilities of our oil and gas properties.  In addition to the drilling and producing of oil and gas wells, we have expanded and plan to continue to expand into exploration and project acquisition through the participation in new 3-D geophysical surveys and related project acquisitions.
 
Oil and Gas Properties

“Bbl” is defined herein to mean one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

“Mcf” is defined herein to mean one thousand cubic feet of natural gas at standard atmospheric conditions.

“Working interest” is defined herein to mean an interest in an oil and gas lease that gives the owner of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil and gas on the leased acreage and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.  The share of production to which a working interest owner is entitled will always be smaller than the share of costs that the working interest owner is required to bear, with the balance of the production accruing to the mineral owners of royalties.

Note that all production amounts disclosed for the individual properties below are for the Company’s working interest.

2008-3 Drilling Program, Oklahoma.  On January 12, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2008-3 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $28,581.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well of each prospect.  The BCP Interest is 6.25% and the ACP Interest is 5.00%.  The total cost of the 2008-3 Drilling Program as of January 31, 2014 was $309,152.  The interests are located in Garvin County, South Central Oklahoma.

This program is composed of four 3-D seismically defined separate prospects with one exploratory well in three of the prospects and two in the fourth prospect.  Targeted pay zones include the prolific Bromide Sands, Viola Limestone, Deese Sandstone and Layton Sandstone.  One of the wells has very similar geology and structure to the Bromide sands in the Owl Creek field.

Five wells were drilled during 2009.  Production casing was set on four of the five wells and the fifth well was deemed non-commercial and was plugged and abandoned.   Two of the four completed wells are still producing commercial quantities of oil and gas, with one of the wells still flowing naturally and producing most of the oil.  One development well was drilled in August of 2011 near the highest producing well in the program.  For the three

months ended January 31, 2014, the three producing wells in this program have produced a total of 91 Bbls of oil and 2 Mcf of natural gas.  

2009-2 Drilling Program, Oklahoma.  On June 15, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2009-2 Drilling Program located in Garvin County, Oklahoma.  As of January 31, 2014, the total cost of the 2009-2 Drilling Program was $114,420.  The interests are located in Garvin County, Oklahoma.  A total of three wells were drilled in this program and targeted pay zones that were the same as in the 2008-3 program.  The zones included the prolific Oil Creek, Bromide Sands, Viola, Deese and Layton Sandstone. This program is composed of three 3-D seismically defined separate prospects.   All wells were drilled in the last fiscal quarter of 2009. Two of the wells were deemed non-commercial and were plugged and abandoned.  Production casing was set on one of the three wells and completion efforts have taken place on the third well; however, after testing it was also deemed non-commercial and plugged.

2009-3 Drilling Program, Oklahoma. On August 12, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2009-3 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $37,775.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well on each of four prospects.   The BCP Interest is 6.25% and the ACP Interest is 5.00%.  The total costs incurred, including drilling costs, as of January 31, 2014 was $349,320.  The interests are located in Garvin County, Oklahoma.  Targeted pay zones include the prolific Oil Creek, Bromide Sands, Viola and Deese sands.  This program is composed of four 3-D seismically defined separate prospects with one exploratory well in each of the four prospects.  All four of the wells have been drilled and production casing has been set on all four.  Two of the wells had successful drill stem tests that flowed oil and gas to the surface.  Electric and radiation logs indicate multiple pay zones in all four wells.

One of the four wells in this program was completed in late January 2010 as a flowing oil and gas well.  The well was flowing naturally at rates between 400 and 500 Bbls of fluid per day with an oil cut of between 50% and 70% oil.  Natural gas was being produced at a rate of over 400 Mcf per day.  This well only produced for a few days before snow and ice storms forced shutting the well in because the produced oil and water could not be hauled away from the location and the storage tanks for these liquids were full.  The well is now producing oil and gas with the use of a pumping unit.  The second well that also had a flowing drill stem test was completed in late March 2010 and that well is currently producing oil and natural gas with the use of a pumping unit.  Total production from these two producing wells for the three months ended January 31, 2014 totaled 158 Bbls of oil and nil Mcf of natural gas.
 
The two remaining wells were completed in late May 2010.  After testing, both wells were deemed to be non-commercial and have been plugged and abandoned.

2009-4 Drilling Program, Oklahoma.  On December 19, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2009-4 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $13,482.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well on each of two prospects.  The BCP Interest is 6.25% and the ACP Interest is 5.00%.  The total costs incurred, including drilling costs, as of January 31, 2014 was $190,182.  The interests are located in Garvin County, Oklahoma. Targeted pay zones include the prolific Oil Creek, Bromide Sands, Viola and Deese sands.  This program is composed of four 3-D seismically defined separate prospects with one exploratory well in each of the two prospects.

Drilling of the first well started in early February 2010 and reached total depth on February 20, 2010.  The second well drilling started in late February 2010 and reached total depth on April 8, 2010.  Both of the wells intercepted multiple potential productive horizons and production casing was set.  The lowest horizon in the first well flowed oil and gas on a drill stem test.  Weather was initially a problem with heavy rain causing flooding and other delays but both wells have now been completed.  Both wells were treated for a poor cement bond and only one remains in production.  The one well that could not be successfully treated for the poor cement bond was plugged and abandoned.  The other well has been converted to a salt water disposal well.  As of January 31, 2014, there has been no production of hydrocarbons.

2010-1 Program, Oklahoma. On April 23, 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2010-1 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $39,163.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well on each of two prospects.   The BCP Interest is 6.25% and the ACP Interest is 5.00%.  The interests are located in Garvin County, Oklahoma.  Targeted pay zones include the prolific

Oil Creek, Bromide Sands, Viola and Deese sands.  This program is composed of four 3-D seismically defined separate prospects with one exploratory well in each of the two prospects.

As of late October 2010, all four wells of the four-well program had been drilled.  Three of the wells had production casing set and one well was plugged and abandoned.  The three successful wells intercepted multiple pay zones including the prolific lowest zone.  One well had a flowing drill stem test but the other two wells were not drill stem tested.  All three wells show excellent porosity, permeability, and hydrocarbon shows.  All three of the wells were completed in the deepest pay zone.  The third well in this program is currently shut-in.  Total production from these wells for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was 169 Bbls of oil and 153 Mcf of natural gas.

On January 1, 2014, the Company sold all its working interest in miss Jenny #1-8 from the 2010-1 drilling program for $275,147 less sales commission as part of the sale of 100% of the well by its operator.

South Wayne Prospect, Oklahoma. On March 14, 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in Okland Oil’s South Wayne prospect for a total buy-in cost of $5,000 and dry hole costs of $32,370.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well on each of two prospects.  The BCP Interest is 6.25% and the ACP Interest is 5.00%.  The total cost incurred, including drilling costs, as of January 31, 2014 was $61,085.  The well and related leasehold interests are located in McClain County, Oklahoma.  The well was perforated in July 2010 and immediately started flowing oil at a rate of 200 Bbls per day.  The flow of oil was slowed and stopped due to a buildup of paraffin.  A pumping unit was placed on the well in late August 2010.  Total production for the McPherson well for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was 35 Bbls of oil and 8 Mcf of natural gas.  Additional pay zones are located above the currently producing horizon and it is anticipated that these zone will be perforated in the future adding additional production to the well.
 
Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project, Oklahoma.  On March 1, 2010, we agreed to participate with a 5% working interest in a 3-D seismic program managed by Ranken Energy Corporation for a buy-in cost of $46,250.  The Oklahoma 3-D seismic program covered approximately 135 square miles in a known oil and gas producing area.   An earlier 2-D seismic program over the same area indicated a number of untested structures.  The 3-D program was designed to refine and better define the structures discovered during the earlier program and pinpoint drill locations.  We participated in the seismic program and the related prospect generation and acquisition phase without any promotion.  The BCP Interest is 5.625% and the ACP Interest is 5.00% on the first eight wells and then 5% before and after casing point on succeeding wells.  As at January 31, 2014, five wells had been drilled, of which one well has been completed and tested as an oil producing well.  The total cost, including seismic costs, as of January 31, 2014 was $820,381.
 
All of the project area, which covers approximately 86,350 acres or 135 square miles, has been permitted and shot and data acquired.  All initial or first run processing data has been completed and interpretation of the data and mapping as well as prospect delineation has started.  Title research and leasing on a number of potential prospects has been completed.  A total of 5,148 acres of leases have been acquired.  As a result of seismic evaluation and analysis, eight initial prospects have been identified, with the first well drilled on May 14, 2013.  On May 27, 2013, this well was classified as a dry hold and costs associated therewith have been moved to proved properties.  On August 1, 2013, Karges #1-35 was also classified as a dry hole and the costs of $55,743 associated therewith have been moved to proved properties.  On September 4, 2013, Carol #1-22 was drilled and completed with no economic hydrocarbons present.  The costs associated with this well were moved to the proved property pool.  During November 2013, Bunch #1-17 started production, and the costs of $76,890 were moved to proved properties.

Double T Ranch#1 SWDW, Oklahoma.  On July 17, 2012, we acquired a 3.00% working interest in the drilling, completion and operations of the Double T Ranch#1 SWDW located in Garvin County from Ranken Energy Corporation.  At January 31, 2014, the cost of the Double T Ranch#1 SWDW was $51,655.
 
King City Oil Field.  Effective May 25, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Sunset Exploration to explore for oil and gas on 10,000 acres located in west central California.  The agreement called for us to earn a 20% working interest in the project by funding a maximum of 50% of a $200,000 geophysical survey composed of gravity and seismic surveys and agreeing to carry Sunset Exploration for 33.33% of dry hole cost of the first well.  Completions and drilling of this first well and completion of subsequent wells on the 10,000 acres were to be proportionate to each party’s working interest.  The geophysical surveys have been completed and most have been
 
 
20

 
 
processed and interpreted.  The initial surveys indicated that several more short geophysical survey lines would improve the interpretation.  These additional lines have been completed and subsequently several stages of reprocessing have been applied to the original data.  In midsummer 2011, permitting of the first drill hole began and the well was completed in January 2012.  On April 15, 2013, we elected to plug and abandon this well.  All costs associated with this well have been moved to the proved property pool for depletion.  After further and in-depth evaluation and consultation, we have elected not to participate any further at King City as we deem this project not to be economically viable.  As at January 31, 2014, the total costs were $406,766.

International Exploration Program

The Company is attempting to expand its property base by locating other resource properties internationally.  Accordingly, we have hired consultants to gather data on properties that may be of interest to us. The consultants on a best efforts basis will attempt to acquire option agreements, lease agreements and/or the outright purchase of oil and/or gas properties internationally.   As of the date of this filing, we have not found a suitable acquisition.
 
Mineral Interests

Antelope Pass.  In 2005, we suspended our activities on the Antelope Pass Project indefinitely in order to focus on our oil and gas properties and we did not conduct any operations or exploration activities on the Antelope Pass Project during the three-month period ended January 31, 2014 or during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.  The claims were allowed to lapse subsequent to October 31, 2013.

Results of Operations

Three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2013.  We realized revenues of $83,565 during the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared with $64,376 during the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $19,189, due to an increase in our oil and gas production.  During the three-month period ended January 31, 2014, 867 Bbls of oil and 163 Mcf of gas (net to our working interest) were produced at our oil and gas properties, as compared to 752 Bbls of oil and 181Mcf of gas for the three months ended January 31, 2013.  The increase in production was due primarily to oil production from the Washita Bend project.
 
We incurred production costs of $11,410 during the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared with $13,905 during the three months ended January 31, 2013, a decrease of $2,495.  Our production costs decreased as a result of a decrease in the number of producing wells and a decrease in our oil and gas production.

Our depreciation, depletion and accretion costs were $36,088 during the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared with $26,015 during the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $10,073.  The increase in these costs is related to the decrease in the reserves of proved oil and gas interests.

Our general and administrative costs decreased to $118,519 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, from $162,419 for the three months ended January 31, 2013.  The decrease of $43,900 is primarily attributable to a decrease in legal costs and management fees.
 
For the three months ended January 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $85,503, compared to a net loss of $195,805 for the three months ended January 31, 2013.  The decrease in net loss was attributable to the decrease in expenses and an increase in revenues for the period.

As a result of our net loss for the quarter, we had a retained loss of $1,289,254 at January 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of January 31, 2014, we had cash and a certificate of deposit totaling $396,430 and working capital of $511,156, compared to cash and a certificate of deposit totaling $260,812 and working capital of $319,178 as of
 
21

 
October 31, 2013.  The increase in cash and working capital is due primarily to the receipt of proceeds from the sale of our working interest in the Miss Jenny #1-8 well in January 2014 for $275,148.
 
During the three months ended January 31, 2014, operating activities used cash of $104,754, as compared to net cash used of $100,644 for the three months ended January 31, 2013.  The principal reasons for the change were the decreases in depreciation, depletion and accretion in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Investing activities provided net cash of $340,372 during the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared with $14,669 used during the three months ended January 31, 2013.  Investing activities consisted of payments on oil and gas interests of $14,669 in 2013.  In 2014, payments on oil and gas interests were higher by $20,107, but were offset by $275,148 in proceeds from the sale of our working interest and $100,000 from the redemption of a certificate of deposit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of January 31, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.  

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Oil and Gas Interests. We utilize the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas activities.  Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development, including costs of unsuccessful exploration, are capitalized within a cost center.  No gain or loss is recognized upon the sale or abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and gas interests unless the sale represents a significant portion of oil and gas interests and the gain significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas reserves of the cost center.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas interests are computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves.  Amortizable costs include estimates of future development costs of proved undeveloped reserves.
 
Capitalized costs of oil and gas interests may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value, if lower, of unproved interests.  Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an impairment is recognized.  The present value of estimated future net cash flows is computed by applying average prices, in the preceding twelve months, of oil and gas to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of year ends, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations. We follow FASB ASC 410-20 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”  which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  This policy 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 January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, we recognized the future cost to plug and abandon the gas wells over the estimated useful lives of the wells in accordance with “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.”  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.  We amortize the amount added to the oil and gas properties and recognize 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%.  Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in plugging and abandonment costs, well useful lives or if federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the plugging and abandonment of wells.

We amortize the amount added to oil and gas properties and recognize accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining useful lives of the respective wells.

The reclamation obligation relates to the Ard#1-36, Bagwell#1-20, Bagwell#2-20, Jackson#1-18, Miss Gracie#1-18, Joe Murray Farm, Gehrke#1-24 and Jack#1-13 wells at Oklahoma Properties, and McPherson#1-1 well at South Wayne Prospect.  The present value of the reclamation liability may be subject to change based on management’s current estimates, changes in remediation technology or changes in applicable laws and regulations.  Such changes will be recorded in our accounts as they occur.
 
Reserve Estimates.  Our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on an interpretation of geological and engineering data.  There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.  Estimates of the economically   recoverable quantities of oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on the risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected therefrom may vary substantially.  Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases and oral statements made by our officials to analysts and shareholders in the course of presentations about the Company, constitute “forward-looking statements”.   Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements.  Such factors include, among other things, (1) general economic and business conditions; (2) interest rate changes; (3) the relative stability of the debt and equity markets; (4) government regulations particularly those related to the natural resources industries; (5) required accounting changes; (6) disputes or claims regarding our property interests; and (7) other factors over which we have little or no control.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is 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 by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2014, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter.  This evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our sole officer, Ken Cabianca.  Based on this evaluation, Mr. Cabianca concluded that the design and operation of
 
23

 
 
our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the following material weaknesses that existed at January 31, 2014:

·     
We relied on external consultants for the preparation of our financial statements and reports.  As a result, it was possible that our officer was not able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements and reports.
 
·     
We had an officer who was also a director.  Our board of directors consisted of only three members.  Therefore, there was an inherent lack of segregation of duties and a limited independent governing board.
 
·     
We relied on an external consultant for administration functions, some of which do not have standard procedures in place for formal review by our officer.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our officers have concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.     OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings

Hamm Litigation
 
In September 2010, two lawsuits were filed in the District Court of Garvin County in the State of Oklahoma by Harold Hamm (“Hamm”) against certain defendants (“Defendants”) and consolidated together alleging, among other things, that Hamm owns an interest in two oil and gas leases in Garvin County and is entitled to a 50% participatory interest.  We were not named as a party in these legal proceedings, but Hamm’s allegations include a claim that he is entitled to a 50% participatory interest in the Joe Murray Farms well drilled as part of the 2009-3 Drilling Program, in which we purchased a 6.25% working interest before casing point and 5.0% working interest after casing point.  We and the Defendants believe that there is no merit to Hamm’s allegations.  In connection with these proceedings, the Defendants were ordered in January 2011 to escrow fifty percent (50%) of the revenues generated within the subject area pending the outcome of these proceedings.  For this reason, fifty percent (50%) of the revenues we are entitled to that have been generated by production from the Joe Murray Farms well is being escrowed and there is no assurance that we will be able to recover these proceeds.  The Company recognized $1,828 in revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2014, and $12,391 in revenue during the year ended October 31, 2013.  As at January 31, 2014, revenue from the Joe Murray Farms totaling $184,790 has not been recognized as revenue and is being escrowed pending the outcome of these proceedings.

Beckett Complaint
 
In April 2013, Jeffrey R. Beckett, one of our shareholders, filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Washoe County, Nevada against us, our directors, Kenneth A. Cabianca and George Knight, and a principal of one of our consultants, Sarah Cabianca, generally alleging mismanagement of our affairs by our directors to our detriment and the detriment of our shareholders.  The lawsuit seeks the issuance of an injunction, the appointment of a receiver and unspecified damages.  In June 2013, Mr. Beckett filed a similar complaint against the same defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada.  We believe these lawsuits have been improperly brought and lack merit.  We are vigorously defending these lawsuits.
