ITEM 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

BACKGROUND

 

TBX Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the state of Texas in March 1995.  Our primary focus has been to acquire producing oil and gas properties with opportunities for future development. Prior to acquiring a property, we analyze the previous production and operating history of the property, as well as the production history and related operating procedures for similar wells producing from the same formations in the general area. By acquiring producing properties that respond positively to improved production practices and enhanced recovery techniques, we have built an inventory of infield development drilling locations.

 

As of November 30, 2003, our company had total assets of $1,475,897 of which net oil and gas properties amounted to $1,099,839 or 74.52% of our total assets. At November 30, 2003, we had approximately $7,438 in cash and money market accounts and a negative $404,803 in working capital.  Our accumulative losses through November 30, 2003, totaled $7,915,850. Our revenues for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2003 were $439,607 and our net losses for the same period were $1,247,713 Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 0.2:1; we have no long-term debt. As of November 30, 2003, our shareholders’ equity was a positive $950,772.

 

Our company has experienced losses over the past several years. However, our management is projecting a decrease in general and administrative expenses, an increase in joint venture management fees, an increase in prices obtained for our oil and gas produced and an increase in our total production, due to more reworking of our wells.  Our management believes that, with the projected lower general and administrative expenses, increases in production, higher prices for our production, and joint venture management fees our company’s financial position should improve for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2004. However, this improvement is dependent upon many factors, some of which are not within our control and there can be no assurance that our actual results will improve.

 

Our mission is to be a publicly traded, independent oil and gas exploration and production company which can take full advantage of opportunities resulting from the major oil companies’ divestiture of domestic oil and gas properties. In particular, most major oil companies are currently more interested in devoting their exploration dollars toward the development of oil and gas fields that are not located in the United States, primarily because of the assumption by the major oil companies that domestic oil and gas properties have been significantly depleted. In addition, due to the extent of the development of domestic oil and gas properties, it is more likely that a significant new discovery in the oil and gas industry would likely be conducted in those areas that have not been so heavily developed, generally being properties that are not contained within the United States. Because major oil companies are more interested in developing their overseas holdings, they often sell their domestic properties at prices that are attractive to independent oil companies, especially since we have significantly lower administrative costs than large oil companies. Due to our lower infrastructure costs, we believe that our costs of owning and operating domestic oil and gas properties are lower than those same costs as experienced by major oil companies.

 

JOINT VENTURE ACTIVITIES

 

During the third quarter of the current fiscal year, the Company entered into a management contract with a company in which Mr. Burroughs, our President, is the sole shareholder. Under the agreement, the Company performs administrative and drilling supervision services on a well-by-well basis for a fixed fee.

 

In September of the previous fiscal year, we obtained an option to purchase 2,800 acres of oil and gas leases in the Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin of Wise County, Texas. In October of the same year, we formed the “Grasslands I, Limited Partnership” in which we are acting as the General Partner for the purpose of acquiring the Wise County acreage for development drilling. The Company has a 20% interest in the Partnership and is reimbursed on a turnkey basis for 100% of the organization and offering costs, lease acquisition costs and administrative expenses.

Previously the Company acted as the joint venture manager for 11 Joint Ventures, all of which were located in east Texas and western Louisiana. The joint ventures we developed were “rolled up” into our company in that we exchanged shares of our common stock in return for our joint venture partners’ interest in the properties developed by their joint ventures.

 

WELLS HELD BY THE COMPANY

 

As more particularly described in the description of properties section, we own or operate all or a portion of 23 wells located in Gregg, Hopkins, Franklin, Panola and Wood Counties, Texas. Of these 23 wells, 2 wells have been designated as injection wells. Injection wells are wells into which salt water is injected to either assist in causing oil or gas to flow to a particular well that is designated as a production well or to simply dispose of salt water that is often produced along with oil. In addition, 4 wells are currently producing oil. The remaining 17 wells are either currently shut-in, scheduled to be brought back into production or are designated as injection wells. During the next twelve months, we hope to be able to bring some of the wells that are currently shut-in on-line so that they will begin to produce oil. However, our ability to re-open these wells is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing to pay the costs associated with re-opening these wells and operating the same once re-opened. Also, the Company has an interest in 6 proven wells in Oklahoma. These wells are located in Ellis, Beckham, Garfield, Caddo and Canadian Counties, Oklahoma. All 6 of the wells are in production for natural gas. Engineering estimates of provable reserves were not obtained for these wells since their production is minor and will not have a material impact on the Company’s reserve value.

 

DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

 

Economic factors prevailing in the oil and gas industry change from time to time. The uncertain nature and trend of economic conditions and energy policy in the oil and gas business generally make flexibility of operating policies important in achieving desired profitability. We intend to evaluate continuously all conditions affecting our potential activities and to react to those conditions, as we deem appropriate from time to time by engaging in businesses most profitable for us.

 

In addition, in order to finance future development and exploration activities, we will sponsor or manage public or private partnerships depending upon the number, size and economic feasibility of our generated prospects, the level of participation of industry partners and various other factors. However, potential investors should note that we currently do not have in place any definite financing opportunities and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into such financing arrangements or that if we are able to enter into such arrangements, we will be able to achieve any profitability as a result of our operations.

 

During both this and previous years we received funds from the sale of our common stock. On October 1, 2001 we entered into a Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Citizen Asia Pacific Limited (CAPL), a Hong Kong company whereby we agreed to offer and sale shares of our common stock in reliance of an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States and state securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The Stock Purchase Agreement stipulates that CAPL will use its best efforts to purchase from us up to 500,000 restricted shares of common stock at a per share price which shall be 38% of the moving ten day average closing prices of our shares of common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or other public trading market. We have the right to accept or reject subscriptions for the shares, in whole or in part. The agreement expired September 30, 2002. On October 3, 2002 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Telvest, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Telvest provides advisory services for foreign investments (Regulation S) for a fee of 3% of all funds raised. The agreement expired January 31, 2003.  We expect the principal use of any funds generated from the future sale of common stock will be for developing existing oil and gas properties and/or the acquisition of new properties.

BUSINESS RISKS

 

Our company is subject to all of the risks normally associated with the exploration for and production of oil and gas, including uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids into the atmosphere, pollution, and fires, each of which could result in damage to or destruction of oil and gas wells, producing formations, or production facilities or damage to persons and other property. As is common in the industry, we do not fully insure against all these risks either because insurance is not available or because we elect not to insure due to prohibitive premium costs. The occurrence of an event affecting the Company could have a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of our operations.

 

Our exploration activities carry risks that the value of the related acreage may be decreased by adverse geological studies, unfavorable drilling results on nearby acreage, or lease expirations. In addition, drilling carries a significant risk that no commercial oil or gas production will be obtained and the investment will not be recovered. We prefer to re-complete or rework producing properties to minimize this risk. The ultimate cost of drilling, completing, and operating wells is often uncertain. Moreover, drilling operations may be curtailed or delayed, with the likelihood of increased costs, as a result of, among other factors, title problems, wellhead prices, weather conditions, and geologic uncertainty.

 

Our competitors include major oil companies and numerous independent oil and gas companies, individuals and drilling and income programs. Many of our larger competitors possess and employ financial and personnel resources substantially greater than those available to us. Such companies are able to pay more for oil and gas properties and to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties than our financial or human resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

 

The availability of a ready market for oil and gas produced from properties now owned or hereafter acquired by us and the prices for such production are dependent upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among other things, the level of domestic production, the availability of imported oil and gas, actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations, the availability of pipelines with adequate capacity and other transportation facilities, the availability and marketing of other competitive fuels, fluctuating demand for oil, gas and refined products, and the extent of government regulation and taxation (under both present and future legislation) of the production, refining, transportation, pricing, use and allocation of oil, natural gas, refined products, and substitute fuels. In view of the many uncertainties affecting the supply and demand for crude oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum products, we cannot predict the prices or marketability of our oil and gas production.

 

Our oil production is sold at or near our wells under short-term purchase contracts at prevailing prices in accordance with arrangements, which are customary in the oil industry. Our gas production is sold on the spot market and not, therefore, subject to long-term contracts. Although this may prevent us from being required to dispose of our production at low rates, there can be no assurance that purchasers will be willing to continue to purchase our natural gas on the spot market.

 

The production of oil and gas is subject to extensive federal, state and city laws, rules, orders and regulations governing a wide variety of matters, including the drilling and spacing of wells, allowable rates of production, prevention of waste and pollution and protection of the environment. In addition to the direct costs borne in complying with such regulations, operations and revenues may be impacted to the extent that certain regulations limit oil and gas production to below economic levels. Although the particular regulations applicable in each state in which operations are conducted vary, such regulations are generally designed to ensure that oil and gas operations are carried out in a safe and efficient manner and to ensure that similarly situated operators are provided with reasonable opportunities to produce their respective fair share of available oil and gas reserves. However, since these regulations generally apply to all oil and gas producers, our management believes that these regulations should not put us at a material disadvantage to other oil and gas producers.

State initiatives to regulate further the disposal of oil and gas wastes could have a major impact on us. In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations concerning occupational health and safety. We do not anticipate being required in the near future to expend amounts that are material in relation to our total capital expenditures program by reason of environmental or occupational health and safety laws and regulations, but insomuch as such laws and regulations are frequently changed, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these laws. However, we do not believe that our environmental risks are materially different from those of comparable gas and oil companies operating in similar geographic areas.

 

OFFICES

 

We maintain our corporate offices at 3030 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1320, Dallas, Texas 75234, and pay an average monthly rental of approximately $5,074.00. Our lease runs from February 1, 2004 through July 31, 2009 at a aggregate cost of approximately $335,000.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

GENERAL. Following is information concerning production from our oil and gas wells, productive well counts and both producing and undeveloped acreage. Our oil and gas properties are located within the northern part of the east Texas salt basin. The earliest exploration in this area dates back to the early 1920s and 1930s, when frontier oil producers were exploring areas adjacent to the famous “east Texas field” located near the town of Kilgore, Texas. We have leasehold rights in three oil and gas fields located in Gregg, Hopkins, Franklin, Panola, and Wood Counties, Texas. More recently, we acquired several wells and acreages in Oklahoma that are described following the Texas properties below.

 

RESERVES REPORTED TO OTHER AGENCIES. We are not required and do not file any estimates of total, proved net oil or gas reserves with reports to any federal authority or agency.

Notes:

 

1. Total Gross Oil Wells was calculated by subtracting 2 wells designated as Injection Wells from the 23 wells owned and/or operated by TBX Resources, Inc. as of November 30, 2003.

 

2. Net Productive Oil Wells were calculated by multiplying the working interest held by TBX Resources, Inc. in each of the 21 Gross Oil Wells and adding the resulting products.

 

3. Total Gross Developed Acres is equal to the total surface acres of the properties in which TBX Resources, Inc. holds an interest.

 

4. Net Developed Acres is equal to the Total Gross Developed Acres multiplied by the percentage of the total working interest held by TBX Resources, Inc. in the respective properties.

 

5. All acreage in which we hold a working interest as of November 30, 1999 had existing wells located thereon; thus all acreage leased by TBX Resources, Inc. may be accurately classified as developed.

ANADARKO BASIN-WESTERN OKLAHOMA

 

The Company has an interest in 6 proven gas wells in Oklahoma. These wells are located in Ellis, Beckham, Garfield, Caddo and Canadian Counties, Oklahoma. All six of the wells are in production. No additional acreage was purchased in the current fiscal year.  We completed a gas well that is located on our Vici prospect in the first quarter of 2003. The Company has a 13.31% working interest in the well. During the previous fiscal year, we completed one well, sold our working interest in three wells and made a partial sale of our Vice acreage as follows:

 

1. We sold our entire 20% working interest in the Josephus # 1-33 gas well located in Ellis County.

 

2. We sold our entire 03% working interest in the Alan 1-11 gas well located in Beckham County.

 

3. We sold our entire 03% working interest in the Lillie 2-11 gas well located in Beckham County.

 

4.   We sold our entire 07% working interest in the Jenson Farms #1-33 gas well located on the Union City prospect.

 

5. We sold 12.0% of our 37.5% working interest in the 1,505-acre tract in Ellis County.

 

6. We sold 10.0% of our 28.24% working interest the Dennett #2-34 gas well that is located on our Vici prospect in Ellis County.

 

In addition to the above described wells we own working interests in two lease tracts; one located in Ellis County, Oklahoma with a gross acreage interest of 27.5% in 1,505 acres and the second located in Canadian County, Oklahoma, constituting a 20% working interest in 240 acres. The leases were purchased for the sum of $83,700 and $19,200, respectively. The Company also has a 3% interest in 640 acres in Beckham County, Oklahoma.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

During the previous quarter, the Company entered into a management contract with a company in which Mr. Burroughs is the sole shareholder. Under the agreement, the Company performs administrative and drilling supervision services on a well-by-well basis for a fixed fee. The Company has earned approximately $263,000 and incurred costs of approximately $100,000 through November 30, 2003. The Company recorded a loss on its Talco Field property in East Texas due to expired leases. The Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss of approximately $484,000. By relinquishing title to the property at this time, the Company was able to avoid a remedial liability estimated to be approximately $200,000. The property was shut-in; accordingly, there were no income or expense items associated with this property during the current fiscal year. The property is currently being leased by a company in which our president, Tim Burroughs is the sole shareholder. In addition, the Company plugged and abandoned its Jenson Farms prospect that was located in Oklahoma and the Florence lease in East Texas. In this regard the Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on abandonment of approximately $203,000. Jenson Farms and Florence were non-producing properties; accordingly, there were no income or expense items associated with these properties during the current fiscal year.

 

In September of the previous year, we obtained an option to purchase 2,800 acres of oil and gas leases in the Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin of Wise County, Texas. In October 2002, we formed the “Grasslands I, Limited Partnership” in which we are acting as the General Partner for the purpose of acquiring the Wise County acreage for development drilling. The Company has a 20% interest in the Partnership and is reimbursed on a turnkey basis for 100% of the organization and offering costs, lease acquisition costs and administrative expenses. Our cumulative revenue from the Partnership is $88,477 offset by our expenses of $49,233. On October 3, 2002, we entered into a consulting agreement with Telvest, Inc. Under the terms of this agreement, Telvest provides advisory services for foreign investments (Regulation S) for a fee of 3% of all funds raised. The agreement ran through January 31, 2003. The Company realized approximately $110,000 through the sales of its common stock.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company incurred an operating loss of $1,247,713 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2003 as compared to a net loss of $2,263,805 for fiscal year ended November 30, 2002. The decrease in our operating loss of $1,016,157, 44.9%, is discussed below.

 

REVENUE - Total revenue increased $233,898, 113.7%, from $205,709 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 to $439,607 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003.

 

During the twelve months ended November 30, 2003, the Company generated approximately $176,229 in revenue from oil and gas sales as compared to $117,232 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002. The $58,997 increase, 50.3%, is attributable to the payment of approximately $52,000 in prior years oil runs for the correction of an error by one of the Company’s oil purchasers. During the past 12 months, oil sales on the Texas properties increased approximately $51,000 due to the production from two additional wells brought on-line during the current fiscal year. The majority of the Texas wells remain shut-in awaiting re-work or the designation as injection wells. Revenue from the Company’s Oklahoma properties decreased approximately $44,000 in the current fiscal year that resulted from last year’s sale of the Company’s interest in three producing properties (see above) and a decline in production from the remaining properties.

 

Joint venture management fee income for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003 was $263,378 while there was $88,477 for the year ending November 30, 2002. The $174,901 increase, 197.7%, is attributable to the following factor. During the previous quarter, the Company entered into a management contract with a company in which Mr. Burroughs is the sole shareholder. Under the agreement, the Company performs administrative and drilling supervision services on a well-by-well basis for a fixed fee. The Company has earned $263,378 through November 30, 2003. In September of last year, the Company formed and is acting as the general partner for The Grasslands I, Texas Limited Partnership. The purpose of

the partnership is to acquire 2,800 acres of oil and gas leases in the Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin for developmental drilling. The Company is to be reimbursed on a turnkey basis for organization and offering costs, lease acquisition costs and administrative expenses. The prior year’s recorded income from the venture is $88,477. There is no earned income from the Grasslands I limited partnership in the current year.

 

EXPENSES - Total expenses decreased $792,253, 45.3%, from $2,470,614 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 to $1,678,261 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003.

 

Lease operating expenses and taxes decreased $6,183, 05.4% from $114,690 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 to $108,507 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003. The decrease is primarily the result of the sale of the Company’s interest in the Oklahoma gas wells and offset by an increase in work over costs for two East Texas wells.

 

Joint venture costs and expenses increased $48,849, 99.2%, from $49,223 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 to $98,072 for the current fiscal year. The increase relates to the addition of three contracts with an affiliated company for the organization and management of drilling activities of joint venture partnerships (see joint venture management fees above).

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $218,735, 29.9%, from $884,045 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 to $616,088 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003. The decrease of $218,735, 26.2%, is primarily due to lower consulting and legal fees, public relations costs, and contract services offset by an increase in payroll and related costs and general office expenses.

 

Loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties was $687,317 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003. The Company recorded a loss on its Talco Field property in East Texas due to expired leases. The Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss of approximately $484,424. By relinquishing title to the property at this time, the Company was able to avoid a remedial liability estimated to be approximately $200,000. The property was shut-in; accordingly, there were no income or expense items associated with this property during the current fiscal year. The property is currently being leased by a company in which our president, Tim Burroughs is the sole shareholder. In addition, the Company plugged and abandoned one Oklahoma gas well and one East Texas oil well and wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on abandonment of approximately $186,722 and $16,121, respectively. Both were non-producing properties; accordingly, there were no income or expense items associated with these properties during the current fiscal year. The Company sold its Bethany Field property in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year for $60,000.00. The Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on the transaction of approximately $1,050,000. Management is of the opinion that the estimated costs of $3.8 million to re-work and develop this property will not yield an adequate return on its investment. Accordingly, in order to cut its losses and avoid a significant future drain on the Company’s working capital resources, Management elected to sell all of the Company’s interest in the field to an unrelated party for approximately $60,000. In addition the Company sold a partial interest in several Oklahoma gas well and recorded a gain of approximately $41,000.

 

During the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, 2002, the Company recorded a loss of $140,000 on the sale of its $200,000 investment in Southern Oil & Gas Company, Inc. (Southern) a privately held company. When the Company originally purchased its interest in Southern, it also entered into an operations and management contract (the “Operations Contract”) providing that the Company was to be paid the profits of Southern that exceeded $40,000 each month. Because the amounts we were to be paid under the Operations Contract have not materialized and the lower production levels for Southern oil properties, management decided to sell its 20% interest in Southern for $60,000.00 to avoid future additional losses.

 

During the previous fiscal year, the Company let lapse its non-exclusive option to purchase five prospects covering 3,323 acres in Montague County, Texas and charged current operations $150,000. The Company has found new acreage that it believes will be more prolific than the Montague County prospect.

The Company is the general partner of the “Grasslands I, Limited Partnership” that was formed in the current fiscal year to purchase approximately 2,800 acres in the Barnett Shale of the Fort Worth Basin in Wise County, Texas for development drilling.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased $3,832, 2.2%, from $172,109 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 to $168,277 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003. The decrease is due to the abandonment of oil and gas properties offset by higher charges for the remaining properties. Future charges to depreciation, depletion, and amortization may be substantially higher as a result of increased production or changes in reserve prices and/or quantities.

 

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE - Interest income for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003 was $733 as compared to $901 for the same period last fiscal year. The Company’s cash balances have declined during the past year thus the decrease of $168 in interest income. Interest expense was approximately $10,000 in the current fiscal year that relates to advances/loans from affiliates. There was no interest charged in the previous year. Other miscellaneous income was approximately $208 in the current fiscal year as compared to $34 in the previous fiscal year.

 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - No tax benefits were recorded for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003 and 2002.

 

NET LOSS - The Company’s net loss decreased $1,016,157 (44.9%) ; from $2,263,870 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 to $1,247,713 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003. The decrease in the loss is attributable to an increase in operating income of $233,898, plus the reduction of losses on the sale and abandonment of oil and gas properties of $322,352, the write-off of Southern Oil & Gas Co. investment in the amount of $140,000, the write-off the Company’s non-exclusive option to purchase five prospects in Montague County, Texas in the amount of $150,000, lease operations totaling $6,183 and general and administrative expenses totaling $218,713, depreciation depletion and amortization of $3,832 offset by joint venture expenses of $48,849.

 

Effective December 1, 1999, our president, Mr. Tim Burroughs received stock options good for five years from the date of issuance to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock a year at a price which shall not be greater than 50% of the average bid price for the shares during the previous quarter in which they are exercised. The fair value of the options will be recorded as compensation expense when a reasonable estimate of such costs are available or the amount Mr. Burroughs has to pay is known. Based on the formula for calculating the purchase price, material charges to compensation expense may be recorded in future years. As of November 30, 2003, Mr. Burroughs has the option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an average exercise price of $0.0175 per share.

 

TBX RESOURCES, INC.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of November 30, 2003, we have total assets of $1,475,897 of which net oil and gas properties amount to $1,099,839 or 74.5% of the total assets. The Company’s accumulated losses through November 30, 2003 totaled $7,915,850. At November 30, 2003, we have $7,438 in cash and money market accounts. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 0.2:1, we have no long-term debt. As of November 30, 2003, our shareholders equity was a positive $950,772.

 

We have funded operations from cash generated from the sale of common stock, the sale of oil and gas properties, joint venture fees and loans from affiliates. The Company’s cash used for operating activities totaled $123,591 and $210,146 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003 and November 30, 2002, respectively. This represents an improvement of $86,555 in cash used for operating activities. Cash provided by the disposal of oil and gas properties totaled $340,359 in the previous year and none in current year. The Company received $60,000 in the previous fiscal year for its 20% interest in Southern Oil & Gas Company, Inc. a non-public company with no market for its shares. The Company’s capital investments totaled $10,856 and $556,499 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003 and November 30, 2002, respectively. Cash used for other assets totaled $150,000 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2002 and none for the same period this year. Cash provided by the sale of common stock totaled $107,568 during

the twelve months ended November 30, 2003 while cash provided by the sale of common stock totaled $139,152 for the same period last year.

 

We want to manage more joint venture limited partnerships. As manager of these programs, we should receive sufficient fees to earn a profit on our work. We expect that fees from this activity will be our a source of funds in the near future. Also, the Company completed one Ellis County, Oklahoma well and reworked two East Texas wells. We estimate that these wells may generate net income of approximately $15,000 per month; however, there can be no assurance that such level of production will continue now or in the future, as the well is a new well and current data may prove to be unreliable.

 

In September of the previous year, we obtained an option to purchase 2,800 acres of oil and gas leases in the Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin of Wise County, Texas. In the following month, we formed “The Grasslands I, Texas Limited Partnership” in which we are acting as the General Partner for the purpose of acquiring the Wise County acreage for development drilling. The Company has a 20% interest in the Partnership and is reimbursed on a turnkey basis for 100% of the organization and offering costs, lease acquisition costs and administrative expenses. In addition, we plan to re-work 8 of our East Texas wells in the coming year which may increase revenue by approximately $300,000 to $360,000 a year. However, there can be no assurance that our planned and projected level of production will materialize in the future.

 

We expect that the principal use of funds in the near future will be from joint venture management fees and oil and gas revenues and developing our oil and gas properties and/or the acquisition of new properties. Based on the aforementioned plans management expects to reduce its losses and generate positive cash flows from operations. However, there can be no assurance that such plans will materialize. In addition, actual results may vary from management’s plans and the amount may be material.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts disclosed 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

 

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TBX Resources, Inc. as of November 30, 2003, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Supplementary Information Regarding Oil and Gas Producing Activities on pages F-12 through F-14 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

TBX RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.              BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

 

TBX Resources, Inc., a Texas Corporation, was organized on March 24, 1995. The Company’s principal business activity is acquiring and developing oil and gas properties. The Company owns 23 wells and operates another 7 wells located in East Texas. Of the 23 wells located in East Texas, 4 wells are currently producing oil and 2 wells have been designated as injection wells.  The remaining 17 wells are either currently shut-in, scheduled to be brought back into production or are designated as injection wells. Also, the Company has an interest in 6 proven wells in Oklahoma. The Company’s philosophy is to acquire properties with the purpose of reworking existing wells and/or drilling development wells to make a profit. In addition, the Company has sponsored and/or managed joint venture development partnerships for the purpose of developing oil and gas properties for profit.

 

2.              SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Oil and Gas Revenue

Oil and gas revenue is reported when production is sold. The Company accrues revenue for oil and gas production sold but not paid.

 

Joint Venture Income and Expenses

The Company sponsors joint venture partnerships. Income from the ventures is generally recorded as funds are transferred from the partnership to the Company. Payments made to the Company in excess of amounts earned are recorded as deferred income. The programs are undertaken on a turnkey basis. Accordingly, all monies raised are recorded as joint venture income and all expenses to acquire, rework and operate the wells are charged to joint venture costs and expenses. Profit is recorded as earned. A provision for loss is reported in the period program costs are estimated to exceed turnkey revenue.

 

Office Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

These assets are stated at the Company’s cost and depreciated on an accelerated basis over five to seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred, while major improvements are capitalized.

 

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development expenditures. Under this method, costs of successful exploratory wells and all development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves are expensed. In the absence of a determination as to whether the reserves that have been found can be classified as proved, TBX Resources carries the costs of drilling such an exploratory well as an asset for no more than one year following completion of drilling. If, after that year has passed, a determination that proved reserves have not been found, TBX Resources assumes that the well is impaired, and charges its costs to expense. Significant costs associated with the acquisition of oil and gas properties are capitalized. Upon sale or abandonment of units of property or the disposition of miscellaneous equipment, the cost is removed from the asset account, the related reserves relieved of the accumulated depreciation or depletion and the gain or loss is credited to or charged against operations. Both proved and unproved oil and 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. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company’s experience and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas, properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. 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. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense; betterments of property are capitalized and depreciated as described below.

 

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

The Company provides for depreciation, depletion and amortization of its investment in producing oil and gas properties on the unit-of-production method, based upon independent reserve engineers’ estimates of recoverable oil and gas reserves from the property.

 

F-7



 

Investment In Southern Oil & Gas Company, Inc.

The Company’s investment in Southern Oil & Gas Company, Inc. is accounted for by the cost method. The impact of the cost versus equity method (the preferred method) of accounting for the investment is not considered material.

 

Income Taxes

The Company computes income tax expense using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted law. The effects of future changes in tax laws and rates are not anticipated.

 

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

The Company computes earnings per share using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “ Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options. The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share. Antidilution results from an increase in earnings per share or reduction in loss per share from the inclusion of potentially dilutive shares in EPS calculations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.                      Under this method, compensation to be recognized by the Company for stock options issued is measured by the difference between the quoted market price of the stock at the measurement date less the amount the employee is required to pay. This is an acceptable method of accounting for employee stock options under the more recent Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.

 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement NO. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt” and amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, “Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements” and FASB Statement No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers”. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases”, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-lease back transactions and the required accounting for certain lease specifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 and provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 is effective for financial statements for annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2002. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 but will continue to use APB 25 to account for stock-based compensation.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”.  Under the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, certain variable interest entities, often referred to as “Special Purpose Entities”, are required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do no have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Interpretation No. 6 is effective for all entities created

 

F-8



 

or acquired prior to February 1, 2003. The provisions of Interpretation No. 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has implemented the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 and has concluded that the adoption does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of FASB Statement No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS 132), to improve financial statement disclosures for defined benefit plans. The change replaced existing disclosure requirements for pensions. The standard requires that companies provide more details about their plan assets. This Statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim-period disclosures required by this Statement are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

3.              ACCUMULATED OPERATING LOSSES:

 

At November 30, 2003, the Company had accumulated losses of $7.9 million. The Company’s ability to continue is based on future plans and past successes of its officers.  The Company is attempting to raise additional equity funds

 

and to sponsor joint venture partnerships that will be used to develop existing oil and gas properties and/or purchase additional properties. The ability of the Company to attain profitable operations is dependent on the Company operating in an environment of stable prices and increasing production over current levels. These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

4.              AFFILIATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

 

a.               The operator of the East Texas oil and gas leases, Gulftex Operating, Inc. is an affiliate of TBX Resources.  Mr. Burroughs, a major stockholder and president of the Company, is the sole shareholder of Gulftex.  TBX Resources paid Gulftex $9,600 for both this year and last year for activities associated with operating the wells. Included in trade accounts payable at November 30, 2003 is $10,356 due Gulftex Operating for lease operating expenses. Also, the Company had previously advanced Gulftex Operating Company $25,000 for a performance bond. Gulftex repaid the Company during the current fiscal year.

 

b.              During the current fiscal year the company paid back approximately $20,000 of a $40,000 loan from its president, Mr. Tim Burroughs. The Company also owes Mr. Burroughs $125,000 for a loan from an affiliate in which Mr. Burroughs is the sole shareholder. The two loans were combined and the Company recorded accrued interest of approximately $10,000 as of November 30, 2003.The loan balance as of November 30, 2003 is approximately $154,100 and is payable on demand at an interest rate of 6% per annum. The loan is secured by the Company’s oil and gas properties. The Company expects to pay back this loan from operating revenue by the end of the next fiscal year. In addition, the Company advanced approximately $39,000 to another company in which Mr. Burroughs is a shareholder. The funds advanced were used for marketing activities on behalf of the Company. As of November 30, 2003, the Company was repaid the $39,000 advanced.

 

c.               During the current fiscal year, the Grasslands I partnership advanced the Company approximately $193,800. The funds were used to fund operations expenses. The Company expects to repay the loans within the next twelve months. See Note 8, “Affiliated Oil and Gas Joint Venture Partnerships” below.

 

5.              INVESTMENT IN SOUTHERN OIL & GAS COMPANY, INC.:

 

On January 6, 1999 the Company purchased a 20% interest in Southern Oil & Gas Company’s (Southern) stock for $200,000. Southern is an oil and gas company that owns oil wells, primarily in northeast Louisiana. When the Company originally purchased its interest in Southern, it also entered into an operations and management contract (the “Operations Contract”) providing that the Company was to be paid the profits of Southern that exceeded $40,000 each month. Because the amounts we were to be paid under the Operations Contract have not materialized and the lower production levels for Southern oil properties, management decided to sell its 20% interest in Southern to avoid a further erosion of its investment amount. The Company sold its interest to the principal shareholder of Southern during in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year for $60,000 and recorded a loss on the transaction of $140,000.

 

6.              PREPAID CONSULTING AND OTHER:

 

a.               On March 7, 2002 the Company executed a professional services agreement with Mr. Samuel Warren, President of both Warren Drilling, Inc. and Drill Pipe Industries, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, which is to run for five years, the

 

F-9



 

Company is receiving assistance in developing new business opportunities and strategies, expanding existing operations, and facilitating any other normal business transactions requested by the Company. The Company compensated Mr. Warren by issuing him 4,271,089 shares of the Company’s common stock valued for the purpose of this transaction at $500,000. The amount is included in prepaid consulting. The Company is amortizing the cost of Mr. Warren’s services over the term of the agreement (5 years). To date, the company has amortized $175,000 of the contract’s value.

 

b.              During the previous fiscal year, the Company let lapse its non-exclusive option to purchase five prospects covering 3,323 acres in Montague County, Texas and charged $150,000 to operations. The Company has found new acreage that it believes will be more prolific than the Montague County prospect. See discussion of Grasslands I, Limited Partnership below.

 

7.              COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

 

a.               The Company executed an Employment Agreement effective December 1, 1999 with Mr. Tim Burroughs, President, for three years. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Burroughs is entitled to receive an annual compensation of $150,000, and other items enumerated in the agreement, plus bonuses of up to 10% for material changes to the Company; for example, when the Company completes a major acquisition, funding or financing. No bonuses were paid or accrued for the twelve months ended November 30, 2003 and 2002. In addition, under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Burroughs received stock options good for five years from the date of issuance to purchase up to 500,000 shares per year of the Company’s common stock for five years at a price which shall not be greater than 50% of the average bid price for the shares during the previous quarter in which the options are exercised. The options are cumulative and allow Mr. Burroughs to exercise his options through November 30, 2004 for a total of 2,500,000 shares. As of November 30, 2003, Mr. Burroughs has the option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The fair value of the options will be recorded as compensation expense when a reasonable estimate of such costs are available or the amount Mr. Burroughs has to pay is known. Based on the formula for calculating the purchase price, material charges to compensation expense may be recorded in future years. The contract was extended until a new employment agreement can be executed early next year.

 

b.              The Company is obligated for $334,900 under a lease agreement for rent of its new office space in Dallas, Texas. The lease runs from February 1, 2004 through July 31, 2009. The average monthly lease payment over the term of the lease is approximately $5,074. The actual lease payment for the current fiscal year is $30,732. Following is a schedule of lease payments by year:

c.               Gulftex Operating is the bonded operator for TBX Resources and is responsible for compliance with the laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly any future remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws will not have a material adverse affect on the financial condition, competitive position or capital expenditures of TBX Resources. However, the Company’s cost to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on the Company’s future earnings.

 

8.              AFFILIATED OIL AND GAS JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIPS:

 

In September of 2002, the Company formed and is acting as the general partner for the Grasslands I, Limited Partnership. The purpose of the partnership is to acquire 2,800 acres for oil and gas development in the Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin of Wise County, Texas. The Company is to be reimbursed on a turnkey basis for organization and offering cost, lease acquisition costs and administrative expenses.  Revenue earned to date is $88,477 offset by expenses of $49,233. See Note 4, “Affiliated Party Transactions” above

 

9.              SALE AND/OR ABANDONEMENT OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES:

 

The Company wrote-off its investment in the Talco Field property in East Texas in the current fiscal year. The Company wrote-off 80% of the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss

 

F-10



 

on the property of approximately $484,500. This was a non-producing property; accordingly there were no income or expense items associated with this property during the current fiscal year. The Company retained a 5% overriding interest and a 15% back in interest after payout to third party investors. In addition, the Company abandoned its Jefferson Farms prospect in Oklahoma and its J.T. Florence property in East Texas. In this regard the Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on abandonment of approximately $187,000 and $16,000, respectively. The Jefferson Farms and J.T. Florence properties were non-producing properties; accordingly there were no income or expense items associated with these properties during the current fiscal year. During the previous fiscal year the Company sold its Bethany Field property in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. Management is of the opinion that the costs of re-working, developing and producing this property will not yield an adequate return on its investment. Accordingly, in order to avoid a future drain on the Company’s working capital resources, Management elected to sell all of the Company’s interest in the field to an unrelated party for approximately $60,000. The Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on the transaction of approximately $1,050,000.The Company also sold three of its Oklahoma properties during the past fiscal year. The money was used to both fund the drilling of two development wells in Oklahoma and to support current operations. The Company wrote off the costs of the wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and reported a net gain of approximately $46,000 on the transactions.

 

10.       STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

 

a.               The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation on July 11, 2001 to grant the Company the authority to issue 10,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.01 (one cent) each all of which shares shall be known as preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, have no conversion rights and are not subject to redemption.  No personal liability should attach to the ownership of TBX preferred stock.  In the event of a liquidation of TBX Resources, the preferred shareholders, if any, would be entitled to their proportionate part of the assets of TBX Resources, but only after the satisfaction of all secured and unsecured creditors. No shares of preferred stock are outstanding at November 30, 2003.

 

b.              On October 1, 2001 the Company renewed its Regulation S Stock Purchase agreement with Citizen Asia Pacific Limited (CAPL), a Hong Kong company. The shares are being offered and sold on reliance of an exemption from registration requirements of the United States Federal and State securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.  The agreement stipulates that CAPL will use its best efforts to purchase from the Company 500,000 restricted shares of common stock (renewable for additional amounts) at a per share price which shall be 38% of the average closing prices of the Company’s shares of common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or other public trading market. The Company has the right to accept or reject subscriptions for the shares, in whole or in part. The agreement expired September 30, 2002. The Company sold approximately $140,000 in common stock through CAPL in the preceeding fiscal year. On October 3, 2002 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Telvest, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Telvest provides advisory services for foreign investments (Regulation S) for a fee of 3% of all funds raised. The agreement ran through January 31, 2003. The Company sold approximately $108,000 in common shares through the term of the agreement.

 

c.               During the current fiscal year, the Company used the services of consultants who received 319,328    shares of common stock. The Company recorded the transactions as a $17,745 charge to expense with an offsetting credit to capital. During the same period in the fiscal year, the Company used the services of consultants who received 6,177,345 shares of common stock. The Company recorded the transactions as a $666,468 charge to expense with an offsetting credit to capital.

 

d.              Options to purchase shares of common stock are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities

An independent petroleum engineer determined estimated reserves and related valuations for the East Texas properties. Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise and are subject to revisions based on production history, results of additional exploration and development and other factors. Proved reserves are reserves judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proven developed reserves are expected to be recovered through existing wells, equipment and operating methods. Sufficient production information is not available to prepare an adequate reserve report for seven production wells in Oklahoma. The Company has varying interests in the wells and the reserve quantities would not materially affect the Company’s total estimated reserves and valuations at this time.

 

Following is a summary of the changes in estimated proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas reserves of the Company, which are located in East Texas, for the years ended November 30, 2003 and 2002:

Standardized Measure of Discounted Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69 prescribes guidelines for computing a standardized measure of future net cash flows relating to estimated proven reserves. The Company has followed these guidelines, which are briefly discussed in the following paragraph.

 

Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying year-end prices for 2003 of $27.00/bbl and for 2002, $21.00/bbl and costs to the estimated quantities of oil to be produced. Estimated future income taxes are computed by using statutory rates including consideration for previously legislated future statutory depletion rates. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amount by applying a 10% annual discount factor. 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 or their present worth. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these estimates are the basis for the valuation process. Presented below is the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil reserves as of November 30, 2003 and 2002.
