(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2008
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be
expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Company for the year ended November 30, 2007 (including the notes
thereto) set forth in Form 10-KSB.
2. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:
TBX Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation (TBX or the Company), was organized on March 24, 1995.
Currently, the Companys primary focus is to secure additional capital through business alliances
with third parties or other debt/equity financing arrangements to acquire producing oil and gas
leases and wells, acquire additional oil and gas prospect leases and to acquire an exploration
company that can also act as an operator of our wells.
The Companys principal historical business activity has been acquiring and developing oil and gas
properties. However, during fiscal year 2004, the Company began providing contract services to an
affiliate, Gulftex Operating, Inc. The services continued to August 31, 2006 when the agreement was
terminated by mutual agreement. In addition, the Company has sponsored and/or managed joint venture
development partnerships for the purpose of developing oil and gas properties for profit.
Effective April 1, 2008, the Company sold its East Texas oil and gas properties. The Company
currently has an interest in wells in Denton, Parker and Wise Counties, Texas. Also, the Company
has a minor interest in wells in Oklahoma.
3. GOING CONCERN:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
However, the company has negative working capital at May 31, 2008. In addition, the Company sold
its primary source of revenue (East Texas properties) effective April 1, 2008. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Revenue Recognition
For direct oil and gas operations, the revenue is recorded when production is sold. The
Company accrues revenue for oil and gas production sold but not paid.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended May 31, 2008 and 2007
include the accounts of TBX Resources, Inc., and the Grasslands I, L.P. a limited partnership for
which TBX serves
F-4
Table of Contents
as the sole general partner. The accounts of Johnson No. A1, Johnson No. A2, Hagansport Unit I and
Unit II (through March 31, 2008) joint ventures, in which TBX owns interests, are consolidated on a
proportionate basis, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-1 Investor Balance
Sheet And Income Statement Display Under The Equity Method For Investments In Certain Partnerships
And Other Ventures. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company received advances from Gulftex totaling $42,027 during the six months ended May
31, 2008 and $317,000 during the six months ended May 31, 2007.
Receivables
Receivables consist of accrued oil and gas receivables due from either purchasers of oil and
gas or operators in oil and natural gas wells for which the Company owns an interest. Oil and
natural gas sales are generally unsecured and such amounts are generally due within 30 days after
the month of sale.
Inventory
Inventory consists of crude oil held in storage tanks. Inventory is stated at market based on
anticipated selling prices
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the Companys cost and are depreciated on a straight-line
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.
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 abandonment 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.
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.
Oil and gas properties at May 31, 2008 consist of the following:
Proved oil and gas properties |
$ | 809,659 | ||
Accumulated depreciation, depletion and
amortization |
(682,337 | ) | ||
$ | 127,322 | |||
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No., 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (SFAS 144), the Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including
proved oil and gas properties accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting,
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of the assets. In
F-5
Table of Contents
this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
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.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 requires that the fair value
of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) be recognized in the period in which it
is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Under the provisions of SFAS 143,
asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the long-lived asset.
SFAS 143 also requires the write down of capitalized ARO assets if they are impaired.
The following table describes changes to the asset retirement liability for the quarter ended May
31, 2008.

Equity Instruments Issued for Goods and Services
In December, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (hereinafter
SFAS No. 123 (R)). This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, and supersedes APB Statement Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS No. 123 (R) establishes standards for the accounting of share-based payment
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) for years beginning after November 30, 2006.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense is the tax payable for
the year plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
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.
F-6
Table of Contents
Use of 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.
Significant estimates include: estimates of proved reserves as key components of the Companys
depletion rate for oil properties; accruals of operating costs; estimates of production revenues;
and calculating asset retirement obligations. Because there are numerous uncertainties inherent in
the estimation process, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, which amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51 and (1) establishes standards of
accounting and reporting on noncontrolling interests in consolidated statements, (2) provides
guidance on accounting for changes in the parents ownership interest in a subsidiary, and (3)
establishes standards of accounting of the deconsolidation of a subsidiary due to the loss of
control. The amendments to ARB No. 51 made by SFAS No. 160 are effective for fiscal years (and
interim period within those years) beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently assessing the potential impact of this statement on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, which expands the
information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination
and its effects. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. This Statement applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that
date. We may experience a financial statement impact depending on the nature and extent of any new
business combinations entered into after the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R).
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company conducts substantial transactions with Gulftex. These related party transactions have a
significant impact on the financial condition and operations of the Company. If these transactions
were conducted with third parties, the financial condition and operations of the Company could be
materially different from reported results.
a. | The operator of the East Texas oil and gas leases, Gulftex is an affiliate of TBX. Mr. Burroughs is a 50% stockholder and president of the Company. TBX paid Gulftex $3,200 during the six months ended May 31, 2008 and $4,800 for the six months ended May 31, 2007 for activities associated with operating certain wells. | ||
b. | Gulftex operates certain oil and gas properties on behalf of the Company. At May 31, 2008 the Company has no liability to Gulftex related to the operation of these wells. | ||
c. | During the six months ended May 31, 2008, the Company received advances from Gulftex totaling $42,027. The balance due Gulftex as of May 31, 2008 is $32,792. | ||
d. | Effective June 1, 2007, the Company is charging Gulftex rent for a portion of the Companys office space plus administrative expenses paid by the Company that relates to Gulftexs operations. The Company billed Gulftex $48,098 for the six months ended May 31, 2008. |

Table of Contents
e. | On June 4, 2008, the Company executed a sales agreement (effective April 1, 2008) with Gulftex. Under the agreement, the Company transferred all of its East Texas oil and gas properties with a net book value of $106,431 to Gulftex. In consideration for the transfer of the properties, Gulftex is forgiving the Companys trade payables and advances totaling $1,052,547. In addition, Gulftex is assuming the Companys asset retirement obligations with a book value of $145,923. The Company recorded a gain of $1,092,040 on the sale. Gulftex did not charge interest for its advances to the Company. The amount of interest that could have been charged is immaterial. |
7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company executed an amended Employment Agreement effective August 4, 2005 with our president
Mr. Tim Burroughs for three years. Among other items, the agreement provides that Mr. Burroughs has
the contractual right to require TBX to issue, upon his request, up to 250,000 common share options
subject to certain conditions. The conditions are that the options will not be issued unless Mr.
Burroughs makes a demand for their issuance and the number of shares so demanded have vested (the
agreement provides that 50,000 potential options vest at the beginning of each employment year for
the five year term of the agreement and are cumulative.) The amendment also changed how the options
are to be priced. The options are to be priced at a maximum exercise price of one-half the bid
price for TBX common stock as of August 4, 2005 or $0.70 per share (one-half $1.40 the closing bid
price on August 4, 2005.) In the event the closing bid price of TBXs common stock is below $0.70
on the date of a call by Mr. Burroughs, the exercise price would be reduced to the lower actual bid
price. Mr. Burroughs Employment Agreement was further amended in April 2007. In exchange for TBX
dropping the three year service requirement, Mr. Burroughs agreed to forgo his eligibility to call
for stock options for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Mr. Burroughs did not call any of his potential
stock options as of May 31, 2008. In accordance with the terms of April l, 2007 Amended Employment
Agreement, no compensation expense is recognized as of May 31, 2008 related to Mr. Burroughs
potential common stock options.
The Company executed an amended Employment Agreement effective April 1, 2006 with our Vice
President of Investor Relations, Dick ODonnell, having a term of one year, which automatically
renews unless otherwise terminated as provided in said agreement. Under the terms of the agreement
the Company agreed to issue Mr. ODonnell options to acquire 25,000 shares of common stock per
quarter beginning April 1, 2006 for a period of up to three years at an exercise price of $0.15 per
share. The option exercise period is one year from its date. The Company recorded stock based
compensation expense in the current quarter totaling $34,000 with a corresponding credit to paid-in
capital.

The Company is currently obligated for $194,988 under an operating lease agreement for rent of its
office space in Dallas, Texas. The term of the lease is from February 1, 2004 through February 28,
2011. The average monthly base lease payment over the remaining term of the lease is approximately
$5,909.Rent expense for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 is $35,489 and $40,135,
respectively.
Gulftex 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 Companys
cost to comply

Table of Contents
with increasingly stringent environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on the Companys
future earnings.
9. INCOME TAXES:
The Company computes income taxes using the asset and liability approach as defined in SFAS No.
109. The Company currently has no issue that creates timing differences that would mandate deferred
tax expense. Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, an
evaluation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may
generate. No provision for income taxes has been recorded for the three and six months ended May
31, 2008 due to the Companys net operating loss carryforward of approximately $10.5 million at
November 30, 2007.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
GENERAL: The following is information concerning our oil and gas wells, our productive wells
and acreage and undeveloped acreage. We have wells in Denton, Parker and Wise Counties in Texas. We
also have several wells and acreage in Oklahoma.
Effective April 1, 2008, we sold our East Texas oil and gas properties to Gulftex Operating,
Inc. (a company in which Mr. Burroughs is a 50% shareholder) in exchange for our payables and
advances owed to Gulftex. As additional consideration, Gulftex assumed our asset retirement
obligations.

Notes:
1. | Total Gross Wells are those wells in which the Company holds a working or overriding interest in as of May 31, 2008. | |
2. | Net Productive Wells was calculated by multiplying the working or overriding interest held by the Company in each of the 11 Gross Wells and adding the resulting products. | |
3. | Total Gross Developed Acres is equal to the total surface acres of the properties in which the Company holds a working interest. | |
4. | Net Developed Acres is equal to the Total Gross Developed Acres multiplied by the percentage of the total working interest held by the Company in the respective properties. |

5. | All acreage in which we hold a working interest as of May 31, 2008 have or had existing wells located thereon; thus all acreage leased by the Company may be accurately classified as developed. | |
6. | Acreage that has existing wells and may be classified as developed may also have additional development potential based on the number of producible zones beneath the surface acreage. A more comprehensive study of all properties currently leased by us would be required to determine precise developmental potential. |
ANADARKO BASIN- WESTERN OKLAHOMA
We currently hold a minor interest in three producing natural gas wells. Although the wells
are currently producing natural gas there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so. 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 gross acreage interest of 20% in 240 acres. The
Company also has a 3% interest in 640 acres in Beckham County, Oklahoma.
OIL AND GAS PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
We own partnership interests in the Johnson No. 1-H, Johnson No. 2-H Joint Ventures of 57.55%
and 58.66%, respectively. We did not acquire any additional partnership interests in the current
fiscal year. Effective April 1, 2008, the Company sold its partnership interests in the Hagansport
No. 1 (32.89%) and No. 2 (66.67%) units to Gulftex.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited financial
statements included on Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 2007 as filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the application of these
policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to provide useful and reliable financial
information about our operating results and financial condition.
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 may differ from those estimates.
OVERVIEW
Going Concern and Liquidity Problems
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with respect to our
consolidated financial statements at November 30, 2007. The paragraph states that our recurring
losses from operations and resulting continued dependence on access to external financing raise
substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the factors
leading to and the existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship
with customers and suppliers and have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing.
Our company has experienced operating losses over the past several years. We do not have
sufficient working capital to sustain our operations. We have been unable to generate sufficient
revenues to sustain our operations. If no additional funds are received, we will be forced to rely
on existing oil and gas revenue and upon additional funds which may or may not be loaned by an
affiliate to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. No formal commitments or arrangements
currently exist with the affiliate to advance or loan funds to the Company. In the event we are
unable to acquire sufficient funds, the Companys ongoing operations will be negatively impacted
and we may not be able to continue as a going concern and we may have to curtail or terminate our
operations and liquidate our business.
Sale of Assets to Related Party

Table of Contents
On June 4, 2008, we executed a sales agreement (effective April 1, 2008) with Gulftex. Under the
agreement, we transferred all of our East Texas oil and gas properties with a net book value of
$106,431 to Gulftex. In consideration for the transfer of the properties, Gulftex is forgiving our
trade payables and advances totaling $1,052,547. In addition, Gulftex is assuming our asset
retirement obligations with a book value of $145,924. We recorded a gain of $1,092,040 on the sale.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the second quarter ended May 31, 2008 we reported net income of $1,016,992 as compared to
a net loss of $287,116 for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended May 31, 2007 we
reported net income of $804,364 as compared to a net loss of $494,215 for the same period last
year. The components of these results are explained below.
Revenues- The components of our revenues for the three and six months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007
are as follows:
Oil and gas revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2008 was $66,304, a decrease of 0.5%,
as compared to $69,809 for the three months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease is attributable to the
reduction in production resulting from the April 1, 2008 sale of our East Texas properties to
Gulftex offset by higher production and prices for our Johnson No. 1-H and No. 2-H wells. Oil and
gas revenue for the six months ended May 31, 2008 was $159,126, an increased of 12.0%, as compared
to $142,082 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The increase is attributable to higher
production and prices on the Johnson #1 and #2 wells offset by the decrease in production on our
East Texas properties.
Following are the changes in oil and gas sales, barrels and volumes of natural gas sold and the
price received for those sales for the quarter.
The average price per MBTU increased $1.87 and the MBTU sold increased 1,202 from the quarter
ended May 31, 2007. The average price per barrel increased $36.02 while the quantity sold decreased
by 732 barrels from the quarter ended May 31, 2007.

Lease operating expenses decreased $33,441 for the quarter ended May 31, 2008 and increased
$78,917 for the six months ended May 31, 2008 over the same periods last year. The decrease in
quarterly operating expenses is primarily attributable to the sale of our East Texas properties
effective April 1, 2008. The increase in operating expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2008
is primarily attributable increased workover and gas marketing fees totaling $118,127 offset by a
decrease in other components of operating expenses of $39,210 due to the sale of our East Texas
properties. TBX paid Gulftex $800 for contract operating services for the three months ended May
31, 2008 and $2,400 the three months ended May 31, 2007. TBX paid Gulftex $3,200 for contract
operating services for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and $4,800 for the six months ended May
31, 2007.
General and administrative expenses decreased $182,714 for the three months ended May 31, 2008
as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
attributable to lower compensation cost related to stock options based compensation of $47,500,
lower professional fees of $103,034, costs allocated to Gulftex Operating of $24,049 and lower
expenses in all other categories totaling $8,131. For the six months ended May 31, 2008, General
and administrative expenses decreased $262,317 as compared to the same period last year. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to lower compensation cost related
to stock options based compensation of $73,750, lower professional fees of $126,264, costs
allocated to Gulftex Operating of $48,097 and lower expenses in all other categories totaling
$14,206.
Depreciation and depletion expense totaled $6,708 for the three months ended May 31, 2008 and
$14,388 for the three months ended May 31, 2007. Depreciation and depletion expense totaled $18,346
for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and $27,154 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The
decrease in
6
Table of Contents
depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense is attributable to lower oil and gas
property values from the same period last year and the sale of our East Texas properties. Accretion
expense totaled $912 for the three months ended May 31, 2008 and $4,900 for the three months ended
May 31, 2007. Accretion expense totaled $3,334 for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and $9,800 for
the six months ended May 31, 2007.
The decrease in accretion expense is primarily attributable to the transfer of our East Texas asset retirement obligations to Gulftex and the change in our estimated liability from last fiscal year.
The decrease in accretion expense is primarily attributable to the transfer of our East Texas asset retirement obligations to Gulftex and the change in our estimated liability from last fiscal year.
Other income increased $1,085,790 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 over the
same periods last year. Effective April 1, 2008 we sold our East Texas properties to Gulftex for
the cancellation of payables and advances due them as well as their assumption of our East Texas
asset retirement obligations. We recorded a gain on the sale of $1,092,040. The Company sold its
working interest in a well located in Caddo County, Oklahoma on March 1, 2007 for $6,250.00 and
wrote off the fully depleted property value of $49,147.
We have not recorded any income taxes for the six months ended May 31, 2008 because of our
accumulated losses. Also, since there is continued uncertainty as to the realization of a tax
asset, we have not recorded any tax benefit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a cash balance of $922 as of May 31, 2008. Our current ratio at May 31, 2008 was
.06:1, and we had no long-term debt other than our asset retirement obligations of $10,781. As of
May 31, 2008, our stockholders equity was positive $16,954. Net cash used for operations totaled
$40,215 for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and $311,589 for the six months ended May 31, 2007.
This represents a decrease of $271,374 in cash used for operating activities.
For the six months ended May 31, 2008 net cash used in investing activities totaled $28,461 as a
result of our rework of a salt water disposal well. For the six months ended May 31, 2007 net cash
used in investing activities was $0. For the six months ended May 31, 2008 net cash provided by
investing activities was $0. For the six months ended May 31, 2007 net cash provided by investing
activities totaled $6,250. On March 1, 2007 we sold our working interest in a well located in Caddo
County, Oklahoma for $6,250. Non-cash investing activity for the six months ended May 31, 2008 was
$106,431. Effective April 1, 2008, we sold our East Texas oil and gas properties with a net book
value of $106,431 to Gulftex. Non-cash investing activity for the six months ended May 31, 2007 was
$0.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $45,777 for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and
$320,750 for the same period last year. For the six months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 we received
advances from Gulftex totaling $42,027 and $317,000, respectively. Cash received from the exercise
of stock options totaled $3,750 for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007. Non-cash financing
activities for the six months ended May 31, 2008 was $1,195,137. As a result of the sale of our
East Texas properties to Gulftex we wrote-off payables to and advances form affiliate totaling
$1,052,547 and reduced our asset retirement obligations by $145,924. We also increased our asset
retirement obligations by $3,334 during the same period. Non-cash financing activity for the six
months ended May 31, 2007 was $0.
PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FUTURE
In the past we have primarily acquired producing oil and gas properties with opportunities for
future development and contracted well operations to contractors. Currently, our primary focus is
to secure additional capital through business alliances with third parties or other debt/equity
financing arrangements to acquire producing oil and gas leases and wells, acquire additional oil
and gas prospect leases and to acquire oil field service companies including a company with
experienced personnel that can assist with operating our wells. However, we cannot assure you that
we will be able to raise sufficient funds to execute our plans or that if successful in securing
the funds our actual results will improve.
We expect that the principal source of funds in the near future will be from oil and gas revenues
and advances from an affiliate. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient
to cover our operating costs and continue as a going concern. Managements plan is to obtain
operating loans from
7
Table of Contents
an affiliate to meet its minimal operating expenses (no formal commitments or
arrangements currently exist with the affiliate to advance or loan funds to the Company) and seek
equity and/or debt financing. Any such additional funding will be done on an as needed basis and
will only be done in those instances in which we believe such additional expenditures will increase
our profitability. However, actual results may differ from managements plan and the amount may be
material.
Our ability to acquire additional properties or equipment is strictly contingent upon our ability
to locate adequate financing or equity to pay for these additional properties or equipment. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the opportunity to buy properties or equipment
that are suitable for our investment or that we may be able to obtain financing or equity to pay
for the costs of these additional properties or equipment at terms that are acceptable to us..
Additionally, if economic conditions justify the same, we may hire additional employees although we
do not currently have any definite plans to make additional hires.
The oil and gas industry is subject to various trends. In particular, at times crude oil prices
increase in the summer, during the heavy travel months, and are relatively less expensive in the
winter. Of course, the prices obtained for crude oil are dependent upon numerous other factors,
including the availability of other sources of crude oil, interest rates, and the overall health of
the economy. We are not aware of any specific trends that are unusual to our company, as compared
to the rest of the oil and gas industry.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of Tim Burroughs our Chief Executive Officer
(CEO)/Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter
covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded
that, as of May 31, 2008 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the
information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported. Management is currently looking for a professional
accounting person to become part of its management team in an effort to provide not only complete
but timely reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by its rules and forms.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter
to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. As a result, no corrective actions
were required or undertaken.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Companys management, including the CEO/CFO, does
not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its Internal Controls will prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control 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 by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become
8
Table of Contents
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
