Results of Operations for Natural Gas and Oil Producing Activities

 

The Company's results of operations from natural gas and oil producing activities are presented below for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The following table includes revenues and expenses associated directly with the Company's natural gas and oil producing activities. It does not include any interest costs and general and administrative costs and, therefore, is not necessarily indicative of the contribution to consolidated net operating results of the Company's natural gas and oil operations.

 

    March 31, 2012     March 31, 2011  
             
Production revenues   $ 253,882     $ 187,913  
Production costs     (128,871 )     (150,308 )
Impairment of property     -       -  
Depreciation and depletion expense     (69,979 )     (100,869 )
    $ 55,032     $ (63,264 )
Imputed income tax provision (1)     -       -  
Results of operation for natural gas / oil producing activity   $ 55,032     $ (63,264 )

 

(1)  The imputed income tax provision is hypothetical (at the statutory rate) and determined without regard to the Company's deduction for general and administrative expenses, interest costs and other income tax credits and deductions, nor whether the hypothetical tax provision will be payable.

  

Natural Gas and Oil Reserve Quantities

 

The following schedule contains estimates of proved natural gas and oil reserves attributable to the Company. Proved reserves are estimated quantities of natural gas and oil that 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 reserves are those which are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Reserves are stated in thousand cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas and barrels (bbl) of oil. Geological and engineering estimates of proved natural gas and oil reserves at one point in time are highly interpretive, inherently imprecise and subject to ongoing revisions that may be substantial in amount. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that the reserve estimates are accurate, due to their nature reserve estimates are generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

 

The following schedule presents the standardized measure of estimated discounted future net cash flows from the Company's proved reserves for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Estimated future cash flows are based on independent reserve data. Because the standardized measure of future net cash flows was prepared using the prevailing economic conditions existing at March 31, 2012 and 2011, it should be emphasized that such conditions continually change. Accordingly, such information should not serve as a basis in making any judgment on the potential value of the Company's recoverable reserves or in estimating future results of operations.

 

    March 31, 2012     March 31, 2011  
Future production revenue   $ 1,206,434     $ 946,493  
Future production costs     (665,734 )     (554,316 )
Future development costs     -       -  
Future cash flows before income taxes     540,700       392,177  
Future income tax     -       -  
Future net cash flows     540,700       392,177  
Effect of discounting future annual cash flows at 10%     (217,204 )     (119,599 )
Standard measure of discounted net cash flows   $ 323,496     $ 272,578  

 

(1)  The weighted average oil wellhead price used in computing the Company's reserves were $103.08 per bbl and $78.78 per bbl at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted average gas wellhead price used in computing the Company's reserves were $3.83 and $3.97/mmbtu at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The following schedule contains a comparison of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows to the net carrying value of proved natural gas and oil properties at March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

    March 31, 2012     March 31, 2011  
Standardized measure of discount future net cash flows   $ 323,496     $ 272,578  
Proved natural oil and gas property, net of accumulated                
depreciation, depletion, and amortization, including                
impairment     208,281       231,720  
                 
Standardized measure of discount future net cash flows in                
excess of net carrying value of proved natural oil and                
gas properties   $ 115,215     $ 40,858
