PART I
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-K that address activities, events or developments that FieldPoint Petroleum Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “ours”) expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such matters as oil and natural gas reserves, future drilling and operations, future production of oil and natural gas, future net cash flows, future capital expenditures and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, the Company’s drilling and acquisition results, the Company’s ability to replace reserves, the availability of capital resources, the reliance upon estimates of proved reserves, operating hazards and uninsured risks, competition, government regulation, the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and other factors referenced in this Form 10-K.
ITEM 1 — BUSINESS.
General
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), was formed on March 11, 1980, to acquire and enhance mature oil and natural gas field production in the mid-continent and the Rocky Mountain regions. Since 1980, the Company had engaged in oil and natural gas operations and, in 1986, divested all oil and natural gas assets and operations. From December 1986, until its reverse acquisition on December 31, 1997, the Company had not engaged in oil and natural gas operations.
Reverse Acquisition — On December 22, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement with Bass Petroleum, Inc., a Texas corporation (“BPI”), pursuant to which, on December 31, 1997, the Company acquired from the shareholders of BPI an aggregate of 8,655,625 shares of capital stock of BPI, in exchange for the issuance of 4,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction was treated, for accounting purposes, as an acquisition of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation by Bass Petroleum, Inc. On December 31, 1997, the Company changed its name from Energy Production Company to FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation.
Business Strategy
The Company’s business strategy is to continue to expand its reserve base and increase production and cash flow through the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas properties. Such acquisitions will be based on an analysis of the properties’ current cash flow and the Company’s ability to profit from the acquisition. The Company’s ideal acquisition will include not only oil and natural gas production, but also leasehold and other working interests in exploration areas.

Table of Contents

The Company will also seek to identify promising areas for the exploration of oil and natural gas through the use of outside consultants and the expertise of the Company. This identification will include collecting and analyzing geological and geophysical data for exploration areas. Once promising properties are identified, the Company will attempt to acquire the properties either for drilling oil and natural gas wells, using independent contractors for drilling operations, or for sale to third parties.
The Company recognizes that the ability to implement its business strategies is largely dependent on the ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund future acquisition, exploration, drilling and development activities. The Company’s capital resources are discussed more thoroughly in Part II, Item 7, in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Operations
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had varying ownership interest in 368 gross productive wells (98.33 net) located in five states. The Company operates 62 of the 368 wells; the other wells are operated by independent operators under contracts that are standard in the industry. It is a primary objective of the Company to operate some of the oil and natural gas properties in which it has an economic interest, and the Company will also partner with larger oil and natural gas companies to operate certain oil and natural gas properties in which the Company has an economic interest. The Company believes, with the responsibility and authority as operator, it is in a better position to control cost, safety, and timeliness of work as well as other critical factors affecting the economics of a well.
Market for Oil and Natural Gas
The demand for oil and natural gas is dependent upon a number of factors, including the availability of other domestic production, crude oil imports, the proximity and size of oil and natural gas pipelines in general, other transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, and general fluctuations in the supply and demand for oil and natural gas. The Company intends to sell all of its production to traditional industry purchasers, such as pipeline and crude oil companies, who have facilities to transport the oil and natural gas from the well site.
Competition
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive in all aspects. The Company competes with major oil companies, numerous independent oil and natural gas producers, individual proprietors, and investment programs. Many of these competitors possess financial and personnel resources substantially in excess of those which are available to the Company and may, therefore, be able to pay greater amounts for desirable leases and define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of potential producing prospects that the Company’s own resources permit. The Company’s ability to generate resources will depend not only on its ability to develop existing properties but also on its ability to identify and acquire proven and unproven acreage and prospects for further exploration.

Environmental Matters and Government Regulations
The Company’s operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Such matters have not had a material effect on operations of the Company to date, but the Company cannot predict whether such matters will have any material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position in the future.
The production and sale of oil and natural gas are currently subject to extensive regulations of both federal and state authorities. At the federal level, there are price regulations, windfall profits tax, and income tax laws. At the state level, there are severance taxes, proration of production, spacing of wells, prevention and clean-up of pollution and permits to drill and produce oil and natural gas. Although compliance with their laws and regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, the Company cannot predict whether its future operations will be adversely effected thereby.
Operational Hazards and Insurance
The Company’s operations are subject to the usual hazards incident to the drilling and production of oil and natural gas, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations.
The Company maintains insurance of various types to cover its operations. The Company’s insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with the drilling and production of oil and natural gas. In particular, coverage is not obtainable for certain types of environmental hazards. The occurrence of a significant adverse event, the risks of which are not fully covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates it considers reasonable.
Administration
Office Facilities- The office space for the Company’s executive offices at 1703 Edelweiss Drive, Cedar Park, Texas 78613, is currently provided by the President at a cost of $2,500 per month as of December 31, 2008.
Employees- As of March 30, 2009, the Company had 4 employees, and the Company considers its relationship with its employees satisfactory.
ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS.
Oil and gas operations are risky
We compete in the areas of oil and gas exploration, production, development and transportation with other companies, many of which may have substantially larger financial and other resources. The nature of the oil and gas business also involves a variety of risks, including the risks of operating hazards such as fires, explosions, cratering, blow-outs, and encountering formations with abnormal pressures, the occurrence of any of which could result in losses to us. We maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these risks in amounts that management believes to be reasonable in accordance with customary industry practices. The occurrence of a significant event, however, that is not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

A substantial decrease in oil and natural gas prices would have a material impact on us.
Our future financial condition and results of operations are dependent upon the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and likely will continue to be volatile in the future. This price volatility will also affect our common stock price. We cannot predict oil and natural gas prices and prices may decline in the future. The following factors have an influence on oil and natural gas prices, including but not limited to:
  *  
changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;
 
  *  
storage availability;
 
  *  
weather conditions;
 
  *  
market uncertainty;
 
  *  
domestic and foreign governmental regulations;
 
  *  
the availability and cost of alternative fuel sources;
 
  *  
the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas;
 
  *  
the price of foreign oil and natural gas;
 
  *  
refining capacity;
 
  *  
political conditions in oil and natural gas producing regions, including the Middle East; and
 
  *  
overall economic conditions.
To counter this volatility we from time to time may enter into agreements to receive fixed prices on our oil and gas production to offset the risk of revenue losses if commodity prices decline; however, if commodity prices increase beyond the levels set in such agreements, we would not benefit from such increases.
Our business will depend on transportation facilities owned by others.
The marketability of our gas production will depend in part on the availability, proximity, and capacity of pipeline systems owned by third parties. Although we will have some contractual control over the transportation of our product, material changes in these business relationships could materially affect our operations. Federal and state regulation of oil and natural gas production and transportation, tax and energy policies, changes in supply and demand and general economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to produce, gather, and transport oil and natural gas.
Market conditions could cause us to incur losses on our transportation contracts.
Gas transportation contracts that we may enter into in the future may require us to transport minimum volumes of natural gas. If we ship smaller volumes, we may be liable for the shortfall. Unforeseen events, including production problems or substantial decreases in the price of natural gas, could cause us to ship less than the required volumes, resulting in losses on these contracts.

Estimating our reserves future net cash flows is difficult to do with any certainty.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and their values, including many factors beyond our control. The reserve data included in this prospectus represents only estimates. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, the precision of the engineering and geological interpretation, and judgment. As a result, estimates of different engineers often vary. The estimates of reserves, future cash flows, and present value are based on various assumptions, including those prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are inherently imprecise. There is no assurance that our present oil and gas wells will continue to produce at current or anticipated rates of production, or that production rates achieved in early periods can be maintained. Actual future production, cash flows, taxes, operating expenses, and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from our estimates. Also, the use of a 10% discount factor for reporting purposes may not necessarily represent the most appropriate discount factor, given actual interest rates and risks to which our business or the oil and natural gas industry in general are subject.
Quantities of proved reserves are estimated based on economic conditions, including oil and natural gas prices in existence at the date of assessment. A reduction in oil and natural gas prices not only would reduce the value of any proved reserves, but also might reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that could be economically produced, thereby reducing the quantity of reserves. Our reserves and future cash flows may be subject to revisions, based upon changes in economic conditions, including oil and natural gas prices, as well as due to production results, operating costs, and other factors. Downward revisions of our reserves could have an adverse affect on our financial condition and operating results.
Acquiring interests in other properties involves substantial risks.
We evaluate and acquire interests in oil and natural gas properties which in management’s judgment will provide attractive investment opportunities for the addition of production and oil and gas reserves. To acquire producing properties or undeveloped exploratory acreage will require an assessment of a number of factors including:
  *  
Value of the properties and likelihood of future production;
 
  *  
Recoverable reserves;
 
  *  
Operating costs;
 
  *  
Potential environmental and other liabilities;
 
  *  
Drilling and production difficulties; and
 
  *  
Other factors beyond our control.
Such assessments will necessarily be inexact and uncertain. Because of our limited financial resources, we may not be able to evaluate properties in a manner that is consistent with industry practices. Such reviews, therefore, may not reveal all existing or potential problems, nor will they permit us to become sufficiently familiar with such properties to assess fully the deficiencies or benefits.

Table of Contents

Operational risks in our business are numerous and could materially impact us.
Oil and natural gas drilling and production activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be encountered. We can make no assurance that wells in which we have an interest will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of investment costs.
Our operations are also subject to hazards and risks inherent in drilling for and producing and transporting oil and natural gas, including, but not limited to, such hazards as:
  *  
Fires;
 
  *  
Explosions;
 
  *  
Blowouts;
 
  *  
Encountering formations with abnormal pressures;
 
  *  
Spills
 
  *  
Natural disasters;
 
  *  
Pipeline ruptures;
 
  *  
Cratering.
If any of these events occur in our operations, we could experience substantial losses due to:
  *  
injury or loss of life;
 
  *  
severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment;
 
  *  
pollution or other environmental damage;
 
  *  
clean-up responsibilities;
 
  *  
regulatory investigation and penalties; and
 
  *  
other losses resulting in suspension of our operations.
In accordance with customary industry practice, we maintain insurance against some, but not all, of the risks described above with a general liability limit of $1 million. We do not maintain insurance for damages arising out of exposure to radioactive material. Even in the case of risks against which we are insured, our policies are subject to limitations and exceptions that could cause us to be unprotected against some or all of the risk. The occurrence of an uninsured loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We must comply with environmental regulations.
Exploratory and other oil and natural gas wells must be operated in compliance with complex and changing environmental laws and regulations adopted by federal, state and local government authorities. The implementation of new, or the modification of existing, laws and regulations could have a material adverse affect on properties in which we may have an interest. Discharge of oil, natural gas, water, or other pollutants to the oil, soil, or water may give rise to significant liabilities to government and third parties and may require us to incur substantial cost of remediation. We may be required to agree to indemnify sellers of properties purchased against certain liabilities for environmental claims associated with those properties. We can give no assurance that existing environmental laws or regulations, as currently interpreted, or as they may be reinterpreted in the future, or future laws or regulations will not materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions.

Table of Contents

Environmental liabilities could adversely affect our business.
In the event of a release of oil, natural gas, or other pollutants from our operations into the environment, we could incur liability for personal injuries, property damage, cleanup costs, and governmental fines. We could potentially discharge these materials into the environment in any of the following ways:
  *  
from a well or drilling equipment at a drill site;
 
  *  
leakage from gathering systems, pipelines, transportation facilities and storage tanks;
 
  *  
damage to oil and natural gas wells resulting from accidents during normal operations; and
 
  *  
blowouts, cratering, and explosions.
In addition, because we may acquire interests in properties that have been operated in the past by others, we may be liable for environmental damage, including historical contamination, caused by such former operators. Additional liabilities could also arise from continuing violations or contamination not discovered during our assessment of the acquired properties.
Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, and we are smaller and have a more limited operating history than many of our competitors.
We compete with major integrated oil and gas companies and independent oil and gas companies in all areas of operation. In particular, we compete for property acquisitions and for the equipment and labor required to operate and develop these properties. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have. In addition, larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. These competitors may be able to pay more for properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for, and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than we can. Further, our competitors may have technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to explore for natural gas and oil prospects and to acquire additional properties in the future will depend on our ability to conduct operations, to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment. In addition, most of our competitors have operated for a much longer time than we have and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive in all its phases. Competition is particularly intense with respect to the acquisition of desirable producing properties, the acquisition of oil and gas prospects suitable for enhanced production efforts, and the hiring of experienced personnel. Our competitors in oil and gas acquisition, development, and production include the major oil companies in addition to numerous independent oil and natural gas companies, individual proprietors and drilling programs.
Many of our competitors possess and employ financial and personnel resources far greater than those which are available to us. They may be able to pay more for desirable producing properties and prospects and to define, evaluate, bid for, and purchase a greater number of producing properties and prospects than we can. We must compete against these larger companies for suitable producing properties and prospects, to generate future oil and natural gas reserves.

Governmental regulations can hinder production.
Domestic oil and natural gas exploration, production and sales are extensively regulated at both the federal and state levels. Legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Also, numerous departments and agencies, both federal and state, have legal authority to issue, and have issued, rules and regulations affecting the oil and natural gas industry which often are difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial penalties for noncompliance. State statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, and reports concerning operations. Most states where we operate also have statutes and regulations governing conservation matters, including the unitization or pooling of properties. Our operations are also subject to numerous laws and regulations governing plugging and abandonment, discharging materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. The heavy regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases its costs of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. Changes in the laws, rules or regulations, or the interpretation thereof, could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation.
Minority or royalty interest purchases do not allow us to control production completely.
We sometimes acquire less than the controlling working interest in oil and natural gas properties. In such cases, it is likely that these properties would not be operated by us. When we do not have controlling interest, the operator or the other co-owners might take actions we do not agree with and possibly increase costs or reduce production income in ways we do not agree with.
Environmental regulations can hinder production.
Oil and natural gas activities can result in liability under federal, state and local environmental regulations for activities involving, among other things, water pollution and hazardous waste transport, storage, and disposal. Such liability can attach not only to the operator of record of the well, but also to other parties that may be deemed to be current or prior operators or owners of the wells or the equipment involved. We have inspections performed on our properties to assure environmental law compliance, but inspections may not always be performed on every well, and structural and environmental problems are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken.
Government regulations could increase our operating costs.
Oil and natural gas operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the exploration for, and development, production and transportation of, oil and natural gas, as well as safety matters, which may changed from time to time in response to economic conditions. Matters subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities include:
  *  
Permits for drilling operations;
 
  *  
The production and disposal of water;
 
  *  
Reports concerning operations;
 
  *  
Unitization and pooling of properties;
 
  *  
Road and pipeline construction;
 
  *  
The spacing of wells;
 
  *  
Taxation;
 
  *  
Production rates;
 
  *  
The conservation of oil and natural gas; and
 
  *  
Drilling bonds.
Many jurisdictions have at various times imposed limitations on the production of oil and natural gas by restricting the rate of flow for oil and natural gas wells below their actual capacity to produce. During the past few years there has been a significant amount of discussion by legislators and the presidential administration concerning a variety of energy tax proposals. There can be no certainty that any such measure will be passed or what its effect will be on oil and natural gas prices if it is passed. In addition, many states have raised state taxes on energy sources and additional increases may occur, although there can be no certainty of the effect that increases in state energy taxes would have on oil and natural gas prices. Although we believe it is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental and other government laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that significant costs for compliance will not be incurred in the future.

Our proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2008 have been estimated by Fletcher Lewis Engineering, Inc., and Lonquist and Co LLC and as of December 31, 2007 have been estimated by Fletcher Lewis Engineering, Inc. and Aluko & Associates, Inc, , consulting petroleum engineers. As defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules, proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include considerations of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not on escalations based on future conditions. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic production is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation tests. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques, such as fluid injections, are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the operations of an installed program in the reservoir, provide support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based. Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the timing of production of these reserves may be substantially different from the original estimate. Revisions result primarily from new information obtained from development drilling and production history and from changes in economic factors.
For information concerning the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, estimated future net cash flows and present values of such cash flows attributable to our proved oil and gas reserves as well as other reserve information, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Oil and Gas Reserves Reported to Other Agencies: We did not file any estimates of total proved net oil or gas reserves with, or include such information in reports to, any federal authority or agency during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, or subsequently thereafter.
Title Examinations: Oil and Gas: As is customary in the oil and gas industry, we perform only a perfunctory title examination at the time of acquisition of undeveloped properties. Prior to the commencement of drilling, in most cases, and in any event where we are the Operator, a thorough title examination is conducted and significant defects remedied before proceeding with operations. We believe that the title to our properties is generally acceptable to a reasonably prudent operator in the oil and gas industry. The properties we own are subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests customary in the industry, liens incidental to operating agreements, current taxes and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions. We do not believe that any of these burdens materially detract from the value of the properties or will materially interfere with our business.

ITEM 7 —  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Financial Statements, and respective notes thereto, included elsewhere herein. The information below should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of the management of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation.
Overview
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation derives its revenues from its operating activities including sales of oil and natural gas and operating oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s capital for investment in producing oil and natural gas properties has been provided by cash flow from operating activities and from bank financing. The Company categorizes its operating expenses into the categories of production expenses and other expenses.

Revenues
Oil and natural gas sales revenues increased by $2,213,047 or 52%, primarily due to increases in oil sales of $2,007,568. Oil sales increased due to both higher prices realized during 2008 as well as increased volumes. Higher prices contributed $1,231,225 to the increase in oil sales revenues, and increased production contributed an additional $776,343. Oil sales volumes increased by 17% primarily resulting from the acquisitions of the Apache Bromide Unit and Quinoco Sulimar consummated in 2007. Natural gas sales increased $205,479 or 24% due primarily to higher prices realized during 2008, offset by lower production resulting from normal declines. Oil and natural gas prices have been volatile during 2008 and the Company expects this to continue. FieldPoint’s oil and natural gas sales revenue will be highly dependent on commodity prices in 2009.
Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses increased by $498,633 or 37% due to a combination of increased costs and increased sales volumes. Costs increased by $4.60 per barrel equivalent (BOE) or 24% due primarily to repair and maintenance workovers incurred in 2008 as compared to 2007. Many of FieldPoint’s properties are mature and bear high operating expense. Increased costs per equivalent unit contributed approximately $359,153 of the increase in lease operating expense while increased sales volumes contributed approximately $139,480 of the increase.
Production Taxes
Production taxes increased $178,971 or 61%, primarily the result of increased oil and natural gas sales revenues as discussed above. Production taxes amounted to approximately 7% of oil and natural gas sales revenue during both 2008 and 2007. Management expects production taxes to range between 6.5% and 7.5% of oil and natural gas sales revenue.
Depletion and Depreciation

Depletion and depreciation expense increased by $285,168 or 33%. The increase in depletion and depreciation was primarily due to higher costs associated with properties acquired.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Impairments recorded during 2008 were primarily the result of lower year-end commodity prices. As mentioned elsewhere in this Annual Report, the Company acquired the Apache Bromide during 2007 when commodity prices were higher than those in existence at the end of 2008. The impairments in 2008 related primarily to properties acquired during 2007. Impairment charges recorded during 2007 were primarily the result of writing off the investment in Palo Duro Basin unproved acreage since the Company abandoned plans to develop that property.

General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses remained substantially constant. Significant components of general and administrative expenses include personnel-related costs and professional services fees. During 2008, there were increases in personnel related costs of approximately $50,000, offset by recovered bad debt expense resulting from the full collection of a long overdue joint interest billing receivable for which the Company had previously provided an allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to approximately $45,000. Management expects FieldPoint’s general and administrative expenses to remain relatively comparable between years.
Other Income (Expense)
The most significant components of other income and expense are interest expense and unrealized gain and loss on short-term investments. Interest expense increased by $42,562, or 38%, due primarily to higher outstanding borrowings under the line of credit during 2008 as compared to 2007. The Company borrowed approximately $2.5 million during 2007 to fund acquisitions. During 2008, FieldPoint repaid approximately $1.8 million of those amounts and accordingly management expects interest expense to decrease in 2009 unless the Company borrows additional funds. Short-term investments include certificates of deposit and investments in mutual funds. The value of the Company’s investment in mutual funds decreased by approximately $290,000 during 2008, resulting in a charge to earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow provided by operating activities was approximately $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to the increase in the results of oil and natural gas operations.
During 2008, FieldPoint used its operating cash flow along with cash on hand to fund $2.1 million of acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties, to repay $1.8 million of amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving line of credit, and to repurchase an aggregate of 69,000 shares of FieldPoint common stock for a total purchase price of $149,756. The repurchases were undertaken pursuant to a stock buy-back program approved by the Board of Directors. Management continuously searches for opportunities to make cost-effective acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties. Further, management evaluates the market price and trading volume of FieldPoint’s common stock and may repurchase shares if capital is available and management believes that such repurchase would be advantageous to the Company and its stockholders.
Capital Requirements
Management believes the Company will be able to meet its current operating needs through internally generated cash from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had working capital of approximately $1.3 million and $5.3 million of borrowings available under its line of credit based on a borrowing base of $7.0 million. The borrowing base is subject to redetermination based on the value of proved reserves, and could be decreased during 2009.
Although the Company had no significant commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 2008, management anticipates continued investments in oil and natural gas properties during 2009. If bank credit is not available, FieldPoint may not be able to continue to invest in strategic oil and natural gas properties. Management cannot predict how oil and natural gas prices will fluctuate during 2009 and what effect they will ultimately have on the Company, but management believes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to service its bank debt and provide for maintaining current production of its oil and natural gas properties. The timing of most capital expenditures is relatively discretionary. Therefore, the Company can plan expenditures to coincide with available funds in order to minimize business risks.

ITEM 7A — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We periodically enter into certain commodity price risk management transactions to manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price volatility. These transactions may take the form of futures contracts, swaps or options. All data relating to our derivative positions is presented in accordance with requirements of SFAS No. 133, which we adopted on January 1, 2001. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair market value of derivative contracts that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as other comprehensive income or loss and such amounts are reclassified to oil and natural gas sales revenues as the associated production occurs. Derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as derivative assets and liabilities at market value in the consolidated balance sheet, and the associated unrealized gains and losses are recorded as current expense or income in the consolidated statement of operations. While such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, management believes these contracts can be utilized as an effective component of commodity price risk management activities. At December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no open positions. We did not have any derivative transactions during 2008 or 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Successful Efforts Method of Accounting
We account for our exploration and development activities utilizing the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and natural gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and natural gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties.
The application of the successful efforts method of accounting requires managerial judgment to determine the proper classification of wells designated as developmental or exploratory which will ultimately determine the proper accounting treatment of the costs incurred. The results from a drilling operation can take considerable time to analyze and the determination that commercial reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and industry experience. Wells may be completed that are assumed to be productive and actually deliver oil and natural gas in quantities insufficient to be economic, which may result in the abandonment of the wells at a later date. The evaluation of oil and natural gas leasehold acquisition costs requires managerial judgment to estimate the fair value of these costs with reference to drilling activity in a given area.

 

22


Table of Contents

The successful efforts method of accounting can have a significant impact on the operational results reported when we enter a new exploratory area in hopes of finding an oil and natural gas field that will be the focus of future developmental drilling activity. The initial exploratory wells may be unsuccessful and will be expensed. Seismic costs can be substantial which will result in additional exploration expenses when incurred.
Reserve Estimates
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, by necessity, are projections based on geologic and engineering data, and 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. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies and assumptions governing future oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and workover costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. The future drilling costs associated with reserves assigned to proved undeveloped locations may ultimately increase to an extent that these reserves may be later determined to be uneconomic. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected therefrom may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties and/or the rate of depletion of the oil and natural gas properties. Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
We review our oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value. We estimate the expected future cash flows of our oil and natural gas properties and compare such future cash flows to the carrying amount of our oil and natural gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to their fair value. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, commodity pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures, and a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with realizing the expected cash flows projected. There was $1,221,775 in impairments of oil and natural gas properties during 2008 and $276,635 in impairments of oil and natural gas properties during 2007.
Reporting Requirements
Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charges with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the SEC and the American Stock Exchange, have recently issued new requirements and regulations and are currently developing additional regulations and requirements in response to recent laws, enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002. Our compliance with current and proposed rules, such as Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the commitment of significant managerial resources. We conclude that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement.
SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No.159 permits companies to elect to follow fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities in an effort to mitigate volatility in earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The standard also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48, if any, is reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 5.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. These new standards significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) in consolidated financial statements. Both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. These Statements are effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 will affect our accounting for future business combinations if such combinations occur.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This new standard enhances the disclosure requirements related to derivative instruments and hedging activities required by FASB Statement No. 133. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. We adopted the required provisions of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 9 —  
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM 9A — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
a)  
The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Ray Reaves, has established and is currently maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer conducted a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed 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 Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
b)  
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our principal executive and financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive and financial officer has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. 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 the 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 if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and,
3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the most recent fiscal year.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Form 10-K.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) provides an overview of the Company’s executive compensation program together with a description of the material factors underlying the decisions which resulted in the compensation provided for 2008 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) ( the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”), as presented in the tables which follow this CD&A. The following discussion and analysis contains statements regarding future individual and Company performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of the Company’s compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of financial results or other guidance. The Company specifically cautions investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors is composed of three non-employee Directors, all of whom are independent under the guidelines of the American Stock Exchange listing standards. The current Committee members are Dan Robinson, Karl Reimers and Mel Slater. The Committee has responsibility for determining and implementing the Company’s philosophy with respect to executive compensation. To implement this philosophy, the Committee oversees the establishment and administration of the Company’s executive compensation program.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. The guiding principle of the Committee’s executive compensation philosophy is that the executive compensation program should enable the Company to attract, retain and motivate a team of highly qualified executives who will create long-term value for the Shareholders. To achieve this objective, the Committee has developed an executive compensation program that is ownership-oriented and that rewards the attainment of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals that will result in improvement in total shareholder return. To that end, the Committee believes that the executive compensation program should include both cash and equity-based compensation that rewards specific performance. In addition, the Committee continually monitors the effectiveness of the program to ensure that the compensation provided to executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to executives in a peer group comprised of select container industry and other manufacturing companies. The Committee annually evaluates the components of the compensation program as well as the desired mix of compensation among these components. The Committee believes that a substantial portion of the compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs should be at risk, contingent on the Company’s operating and market performance. Consistent with this philosophy, the Committee will continue to place significant emphasis on stock-based compensation and performance measures, in an effort to more closely align compensation with Shareholder interests and to increase executives’ focus on the Company’s long-term performance.
Committee Process. The Committee meets as often as necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities. The Committee usually meets with the CEO and CFO. In addition, the Committee periodically meets in executive session without management.
The Committee’s meeting agenda is normally established by the Committee Chairperson in consultation with the CEO and CFO. Committee members receive and review materials in advance of each meeting. Depending on the meeting’s agenda, such materials may include: financial reports regarding the Company’s performance, reports on achievement of individual and corporate objectives, reports detailing executives’ stock ownership and options, tally sheets setting forth total compensation and information regarding the compensation programs and levels of certain peer group companies.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions. The Committee makes all compensation decisions for the CEO and the CFO. Decisions regarding the compensation of other employees are made by the CEO and CFO in consultation with the Committee. In this regard, the CEO and CFO provide the Committee evaluations of executive performance, business goals and objectives and recommendations regarding salary levels and equity awards.
Market-Based Compensation Strategy. The Committee adopted the following market-based compensation strategy:
   
Pay levels are evaluated and calibrated relative to other companies of comparable size operating in the oil and gas exploration business (the “Peer Group”) as the primary market reference point. In addition, general industry data is reviewed as an additional market reference and to ensure robust competitive data.
 
   
Target total direct compensation (target total cash compensation plus the annualized expected value of long-term incentives) levels for NEOs are calibrated relative to the Peer Group.
 
   
Base salary and target total cash compensation levels (base salary plus target annual incentive) for NEOs are calibrated to the Peer Group.
 
   
The long-term incentive component of the executive compensation program is discretionary and viewed in light of the target total direct compensation level.
The Committee retains discretion, however, to vary compensation above or below the targeted percentile based upon each NEO’s experience, responsibilities and performance.
Total Direct Compensation
Our objective is to target total direct compensation, consisting of cash salary, cash bonus and long term equity compensation at levels consistent with the surveyed companies, if specified corporate and business unit performance metrics and individual performance objectives are met. We selected this target for compensation to remain competitive in attracting and retaining talented executives. Many of our competitors are significantly larger and have financial resources greater than our own. The competition for experienced, technically proficient executive talent in the oil and gas industry is currently particularly acute, as companies seek to draw from a limited pool of such executives to explore for and develop hydrocarbons that increasingly are in more remote areas and are technologically more difficult to access.
We structure total direct compensation to the named executive officers so that most of this compensation is delivered in the form of equity awards in order to provide incentives to work toward long-term profitable growth that will enhance stockholder returns. We also structure their cash compensation so that a significant portion is at risk under the cash bonus plan, payable based on corporate, business unit and individual performance. I n the following sections, we further detail each component of total direct compensation.
Components of Compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the sole component of compensation for the CEO was base salary. We did provide additional compensation in the form of annual incentive bonus and perquisites.

Base Salary. The Company provides the CEO with base salaries to compensate him for services rendered during the year. The Committee believes that competitive salaries must be paid in order to attract and retain high quality executives. The Committee reviews the CEO’s salary at the end of each year, with any adjustments to base salary becoming effective on January 1 of the succeeding year.
In determining base salary level for executive officers, the committee considers the following qualitative and quantitative factors:
   
job level and responsibilities,
 
   
relevant experience,
 
   
individual performance,
 
   
recent corporate performance, and
We review base salaries annually, but we do not necessarily award salary increases each year. From time to time base salaries may be adjusted other than as a result of an annual review, in order to address competitive pressures or in connection with a promotion.
Base salaries paid to the CEO is deductible for federal income tax purposes except to the extent that the executive’s aggregate compensation which is subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) exceeds $1 million.
The following tables and discussion set forth information with respect to all plan and non-plan compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and the Company’s four (4) most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO, for all services rendered in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries for each of the Company’s last three (3) completed fiscal years; provided, however, that no disclosure has been made for any executive officer, other than the CEO, whose total annual salary and bonus does not exceed $100,000.

ITEM 13 — CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
The Company leases office space from its majority shareholder. The lease requires monthly payments of $2,500 on a month to month basis. The Company also paid Roger Bryant, a director, $11,000 and Karl Reimers $750 in consulting fees for services in 2008 and $11,500 to Roger Bryant during 2007,
ITEM 14 — PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
In the last two fiscal years, we have retained Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein”) as our principal accountants. Hein audited our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2008 and 2007. We understand the need for our principal accountants to maintain objectivity and independence in their audit of our financial statements. To minimize relationships that could appear to impair the objectivity of our principal accountants, our audit committee has restricted the non-audit services that our principal accountants may provide to us primarily to tax services and audit related services. The board has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving work performed by our principal accountants.
After careful consideration, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has determined that payment of the below audit fees is in conformance with the independent status of the Company’s principal independent accountants. Before engaging the auditors in additional services, the Audit Committee considers how these services will impact the entire engagement and independence factors.
The following is an aggregate of fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by our principal accountants:
                 
    2008     2007  
Audit fees — audit of annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports, services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings
  $ 82,200     $ 82,600  
Audit-related fees — related to the performance of audit or review of financial statements not reported under “audit fees” above
          8,700  
Tax fees — tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning
    20,600       17,800  
 
           
All other fees — services provided by our principal accountants other than those identified above
               
Total fees paid or accrued to our principal accountants
  $ 102,800     $ 109,100

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation and Subsidiaries
Cedar Park, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado. We are engaged in the acquisition, operation and development of oil and natural gas properties, which are located in Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South-Central Texas and Wyoming as of December 31, 2008.
Consolidation Policy
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bass Petroleum, Inc. and Raya Energy Corp. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, we maintain deposit balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Short Term Investments
Short term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than three months and holdings in mutual funds with readily determinable fair values. These investments are bought and held principally, for the purpose of selling them in the near term and thus are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period classified as unrealized holding gains in other income. All realized gains are included in other income.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Our oil and natural gas properties consisted of the following at December 31:
                 
    2008     2007  
Mineral interests in properties:
               
Unproved properties
  $ 919,771     $ 850,000  
Proved properties
    12,428,793       11,293,011  
Wells and related equipment and facilities
    4,208,543       3,282,278  
 
           
 
               
Total costs
    17,557,107       15,425,289  
Less accumulated depletion and depreciation
    (6,717,432 )     (4,348,544 )
 
           
 
  $ 10,839,675     $ 11,076,745

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and natural gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether the wells have found proved reserves. If we determine that the wells do not find proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense. There were no exploratory wells capitalized pending determination of whether the wells found proved reserves at December 31, 2008 or 2007. Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic studies and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are charged to expense as incurred. We capitalize interest on expenditures for significant exploration and development projects that last more than six months while activities are in progress to bring the assets to their intended use. Through December 31, 2008, we have capitalized no interest costs because our exploration and development projects generally last less than six months. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment are charged to expense as incurred.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depletion and depreciation are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depletion and depreciation with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
Capitalized amounts attributable to proved oil and natural gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method of proved reserves using the unit conversion ratio of 6 Mcf of gas to 1 bbl of oil. Depletion and depreciation expense for oil and natural gas producing property and related equipment was $1,147,237 and $862,405 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Unproved oil and natural gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. We recorded an impairment of $98,040 during the year ended December 31, 2007 related to our assessment of unproved properties. The impairment resulted from our decision to abandon certain leaseholds in the Hutt Field located in McMullen County, Texas. No impairment of unproved properties was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008.
Capitalized costs related to proved oil and natural gas properties, including wells and related equipment and facilities, are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. If undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the net capitalized costs related to proved properties, then we recognize an impairment charge in income from operations equal to the difference between the net capitalized costs related to proved properties and their estimated fair values based on the present value of the related future net cash flows. We recorded an impairment of $1,221,775 during the year ended December 31, 2008 and $178,595 during the year ended December 31, 2007 on our proved oil and natural gas properties. The impairment was the result of lower oil and natural gas prices at December 31, 2008 and cessation of production on certain wells in McMullen County, Texas in 2007.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Oil and Natural Gas Sales Receivable
Oil and natural gas sales receivable principally consist of accrued oil and natural gas sales proceeds receivable and are typically collected within 35 days from the end of the month in which the related quantities are produced. We ordinarily do not require collateral for such receivables, nor do we charge interest on past due balances. We periodically review accounts receivable for collectability and reduce the carrying amount of the accounts receivable by an allowance. No such allowance was indicated at December 31, 2007 or 2008. As of December 31, 2008, our accounts receivable were primarily with several independent purchasers of our crude oil and natural gas production. At December 31, 2008, we had balances due from two customers which were 10% or more of our accounts receivable related to crude oil and natural gas production. These two customers accounted for 20% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2007, we had balances due from four customers which were 10% or more of our accounts receivable related to crude oil and natural gas production. These four customers accounted for 58% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2007. In the event that one or more of these significant customers ceases doing business with us, we believe that there are potential alternative customers with whom we could establish new relationships and that those relationships would result in the replacement of one or more lost customers.
Joint Interest Billings Receivable and Oil and Natural Gas Revenues Payable
Joint interest billings receivable represent amounts receivable for lease operating expenses and other costs due from third party working interest owners in the wells that the Company operates. The receivable is recognized when the cost is incurred and the related payable and the Company’s share of the cost is recorded. We often have the ability to offset amounts due against the participant’s share of production from the related property.
The Company uses the reserve for bad debt method of valuing doubtful joint interest billings receivable based on historical experience, coupled with a review of the current status of existing receivables. The balance of the reserve for doubtful accounts, deducted against joint interest billings receivable to properly reflect the realizable value was $99,192 at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Oil and natural gas revenues payable represents amounts due to third party revenue interest owners for their share of oil and natural gas revenue collected on their behalf by the Company. The payable is recorded when the Company recognizes oil and natural gas sales and records the related oil and natural gas sales receivable.
The Company had a net long-term joint interest billing receivable in the amount of $68,368 from a company in receivership at December 31, 2007. The balance was collected in 2008 and the associated reserve of $44,624 was credited to general and administrative expense.
Other Property
Other assets classified as property and equipment are primarily office furniture and equipment and vehicles, which are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of assets is included in income in the period of disposition. Depreciation expense for other property and equipment was $8,000 and $7,664 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Our financial statements reflect the fair value for our asset retirement obligations, consisting of future plugging and abandonment expenditures related to our oil and natural gas properties, which can be reasonably estimated. The asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value at the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties on the consolidated balance sheets. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Asset retirement obligation at December 31,
  $ 775,023     $ 676,344  
 
           
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due, if any, plus net deferred taxes related to differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are recognized to limit recognition of deferred tax assets where appropriate. Such allowances may be reversed when circumstances provide evidence that the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized.
Production Taxes and Ad Valorem Taxes
Production taxes and ad valorem taxes are included in production expense. Total production and ad valorem taxes were $524,551 and $322,246 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Use of Estimates and Certain Significant Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural gas reserves, which as described above may affect the amount at which oil and natural gas properties are recorded. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is a significant estimate and is based on management’s estimates of uncollectible receivables. The asset retirement obligations require estimates of future plugging and abandonment expenditures. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term and the revisions could be material.
Our estimates of proved reserves materially impact depletion expense. If proved reserves decline, then the rate at which we record depletion expense increases, reducing net income. A decline in estimates of proved reserves may result from lower prices, evaluation of additional operating history, mechanical problems at our wells and catastrophic events such as explosions, hurricanes and floods. Lower prices also may make it uneconomical to drill wells or produce from fields with high operating costs. In addition, a decline in proved reserves may impact our assessment of our oil and natural gas properties for impairment.

FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our proved reserve estimates are a function of many assumptions, all of which could deviate materially from actual results. As such, reserve estimates may vary materially from the ultimate quantities of oil and natural gas actually produced.
Revenue Recognition
The Company uses the sales method of accounting for oil and natural gas revenues. Under this method, revenues are based on actual volumes of oil and natural gas sold to purchasers. The volumes of natural gas sold may differ from the volumes to which the Company is entitled based on its interest in the properties. Differences between volumes sold and volumes based on entitlements create natural gas imbalances. Material imbalances are reflected as adjustments to reported natural gas reserves and future cash flows. There were no material natural gas imbalances as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
We recognize revenue when crude oil and natural gas quantities are delivered to or collected by the respective purchaser. Title to the produced quantities transfers to the purchaser at the time the purchaser receives or collects the quantities. Prices for such production are defined in sales contracts and are readily determinable based on certain publicly available indices. The purchasers of such production have historically made payment for crude oil and natural gas purchases within thirty-five days of the end of each production month. We periodically review the difference between the dates of production and the dates we collect payment for such production to ensure that accounts receivable from those purchasers are collectible.
We sold our crude oil and natural gas production to several independent purchasers. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had sales of 10% or more of our total oil and natural gas sales revenue to five customers which represented 82% of total oil and natural gas sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we had sales of 10% or more of our total oil and natural gas sales revenue to four customers representing 64% of total oil and natural gas sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has no elements of comprehensive income other than net income.
Share-Based Compensation
We measure and record compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Additionally, compensation costs for share-based awards are recognized over the requisite grant-date service period based on the grant-date fair value.
Fair Value Measurement
The financial assets of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are short-term investments. Our short-term investments are generally classified within level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government and agency securities and most money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include most investments-grade corporate bonds, and state, municipal and provincial obligations. Such instruments are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Our short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level 1, within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are cash, short term investments, accounts receivable and payable and long-term debt. Management believes the fair values of these instruments, with the exception of the long-term debt, approximate the carrying values, due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Management believes the fair value of long-term debt also reasonably approximates its carrying value, based on expected cash flows and interest rates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement.
SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No.159 permits companies to elect to follow fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities in an effort to mitigate volatility in earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The standard also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48, if any, is reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 5.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. These new standards significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) in consolidated financial statements. Both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. These Statements are effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2009. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 will affect our accounting for future business combinations if such combinations occur.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This new standard enhances the disclosure requirements related to derivative instruments and hedging activities required by FASB Statement No. 133. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. We adopted the required provisions of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Environmental Issues
The Company is engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental clean up of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and natural gas wells and the operation thereof. In the Company’s acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated. Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental clean up or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any liability which the Company may have, as it relates to any environmental cleanup, restoration or the violation of any rules or regulations relating thereto.
10.  
Commitments
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a $10,000 outstanding standby letter of credit in favor of the State of Wyoming as a plugging bond. The letter of credit is collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the same amount.
In 2001, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with its president and CEO. The agreement provides for his retention, if the Company should have a change in control, at set percentages of his then salary and bonus for a term of at least three years.
On October 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a Performance Based Bonus Program (the “Bonus Program”) for our President and Chief Executive Officer. The Bonus Program is calculated and paid annually based on four performance parameters: 1) annual reserve additions from drilling and acquisitions, 2) growth in annual production, 3) growth in annual year over year earnings (before taxes and bonus), and 4) other notable achievements as the Board may recognize from time to time which are not easily quantifiable in the first three parameters. Bonus awards of up to 50% of annual base salary may be achieved in each of the first three categories and up to 10% in the fourth category provided that the maximum bonus award for any year may not exceed 150% of base salary which is currently $225,000. We awarded $45,750 to our President and Chief Executive Officer under the Bonus Program in 2008.

Proved oil and natural gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, condensate and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed oil and natural gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. The above estimated net interests in proved reserves are based upon subjective engineering judgments and may be affected by the limitations inherent in such estimation. The process of estimating reserves is subject to continual revision as additional information becomes available as a result of drilling, testing, reservoir studies and production history, and market prices for oil and natural gas. Significant fluctuations in market prices have a direct impact on recoverability and will result in changes in estimated recoverable reserves without regard to actual increases or decreases in reserves in place.
Year Ended December 31, 2007
We purchased a working interest in an oil property located in the Sulimar field in Chaves County, New Mexico during 2007. We also purchased a working interest and a net revenue interest in the Apache Bromide unit located in Caddo County, Oklahoma during 2007. These purchases account for the additional quantities listed under purchases of minerals in place. We completed the Cronos No. 1 and the Hermes Fee 1 properties in New Mexico during 2007, which was the primary reason for the quantities listed under extensions and discoveries. The average natural gas price attributable to our proved reserves increased from $5.49 per Mcf at December 31, 2006 to $6.63 per Mcf at December 31, 2007, which was the primary reason for the increased quantities listed under revisions of previous estimates.
Year Ended December 31, 2008
We purchased various working interests in oil and natural gas properties located in the Spraberry Trend and Flying M fields located in Midland County, Texas and Lea County, New Mexico, respectively, effective July 1, 2008. These purchases account for the additional quantities listed under purchase of minerals in place. We completed the Stauss property during the fourth quarter of 2008, which was the primary reason for the quantities listed under extensions and discoveries. The average natural gas price attributable to our proved reserves decreased from $6.63 per Mcf at December 31, 2007 to $5.21 at December 31, 2008 and the average price of oil per barrel was approximately $43.60 at December 31, 2008 compared to $91.09 at December 31, 2007, which were the primary reasons for the decreased quantities listed under revisions of previous estimates.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows (Unaudited)
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at December 31, 2008 and 2007, relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves is set forth below. The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and, as such, do not necessarily reflect the Company’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves nor their present worth. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these estimates are the basis for the valuation process.
The estimated cash flows from future production of proved reserves were prepared on the basis of prices received at year end. The average oil price per barrel was approximately $43.60 and $91.09 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The average natural gas price per MMBtu was approximately $5.21 and $6.63 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, in thousands.
