TBX RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The condensed 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, 2010 (including the notes
thereto) set forth in Form 10-K.
2. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:
TBX Resources, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Texas in March 1995. In the past we have
primarily focused our business efforts on acquiring oil and gas production properties and leases.
We did this because we believed that the major oil companies were leaving the US domestic oil and
gas market due to domestic oil and gas exploration properties being significantly depleted. However
this trend has changed and major oil companies are again acquiring domestic properties primarily in
fields where natural gas is prevalent. This has increased the competition and prices for oil
properties and management believes, due to our current financial condition, that we will not be
able to compete for and purchase oil and gas properties as effectively as we have in the past. In
response to this trend management has recently initiated changes to the Companys business plan.
Currently, our primary focus is to secure additional capital through business alliances with third
parties or other debt/equity financing arrangements to acquire companies and assets which will
allow the Company to operate in the oil field services industry with an emphasis on acquiring
companies involved in salt water and drilling fluid disposal. Secondarily we will continue to seek
out and acquire producing oil and gas leases and wells. See Note 14.
3. GOING CONCERN:
The accompanying condensed 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 stockholders equity and minimal working capital. In addition, the Company sold its
primary source of revenue (East Texas properties) effective April 1, 2008 and forfeited its
interest in the Johnson #1 and Johnson #2 Joint Ventures effective September 7, 2010 (see Note 8).
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. See Note 14.
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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
During the nine months ended August 31, 2011 the Company had a net increase in advances from
Gulftex totaling $67,532. The Company had a net decrease in advances from Gulftex totaling $80,609
during the nine months ended August 31, 2011. The balance due Gulftex as of August 31, 2011 is
$67,532. The cash portion of this balance is $45,056. See Note 14.
Oil and Gas Revenue Receivable
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.
F-4
Table of Contents
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.
Long-lived Assets
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 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 units-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 by recording the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) in the period in which it is incurred when a
reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement obligations are capitalized as
part of the carrying value of the long-lived asset. The Company writes down capitalized ARO assets
if they are impaired.
The following table describes changes to the asset retirement liability for the nine months ended
August 31, 2011.

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.
Equity Instruments Issued for Goods and Services
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized in the
financial statements over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in
exchange for the award with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
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.
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.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities that
have been evaluated at least annually. The standard defines fair value as the price at which an
asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A
liabilitys fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a
new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.
Impairment analyses will be made of all assets using fair value measurements.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment
associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by
generally accepted accounting principles and directly related to the amount of subjectivity
associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
F-6
Table of Contents
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. | |
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
| quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | ||
| quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | ||
| inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset of liability; | ||
| inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If the asset or liability has specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 impute must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Cash, receivable and payable amounts, accrued expenses and other current liabilities are carried at
book value
amounts which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
During the nine months ended August 31, 2011 and the year ended November 30, 2010, there were
several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable,
has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of
these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Companys financial
position or operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any
potential future impact on its financial statements.
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. | During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Company had a net reduction in advances from Gulftex totaling $80,609. During the nine months ended August 31, 2011, the Company received advances from Gulftex totaling $67,532 and the balance due Gulftex as of August 31, 2011 is also $67,532. | |
b. | Gulftex is billing the Company for rent paid on behalf of the Company. Gulftex is also charging the Company administrative expenses as it relates to TBX operations. For the nine months ended August 31, 2011, Gulftex billed the Company $24,695 for rent and administrative services. In the previous fiscal year the Company charged 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 $50,138 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010. |
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. The Employment Agreement was again amended on
December 1, 2010 wherein options were continued for an additional five years at an option price no
greater than 50% of the closing price on December 1, 2010 or $0.015 per share (one-
F-7
Table of Contents
half of the
$0.03 closing bid price on December 1, 2010). Mr. Burroughs did not call any of his potential stock
options as of August 31, 2011. In accordance with the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement, no
compensation expense is recognized as of August 31, 2011 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. Mr. ODonnells options to acquire
common stock expired on January 1, 2009.
Since February 2010 certain officers have agreed to forebear their salary until the Companys cash
flow improves. However, the Company may grant stock awards from time to time in recognition of the
officers or employees forbearance.
8. FORFEITURE OF OIL AND GAS INTERESTS:
During the first quarter of this fiscal year, the Company was notified it had forfeited its
interest in the Johnson #1-H and Johnson #2-H Joint Ventures effective September 7, 2010 for not
paying a Special Assessment of $43,008 for estimated workover expenses. If the Company had known of
the Special Assessment cash call it would have declined to participate because there was no
assurance that the rework would be successful in increasing production to recoup the Special
Assessment amount and extend the life of the wells. In addition, the Company no longer is obligated
to pay the plug and abandonment costs for these wells.
As a result of the forfeiture the Company wrote-off the book value of the wells, asset retirement
obligations, receivables and payables which resulted in a loss of $16,089.
9. SALE OF OFFICE FURNITURE AND FIXTURES:
The Company sold its furniture and fixtures to a third-party in the previous quarter for $2,220 and
wrote-off the fully depreciated value of the related assets. The Company is currently utilizing
furniture and fixtures supplied by its President, Tim Burroughs, at no cost to the Company.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Companys operating lease agreement for rent of its office space in Dallas, Texas was extended
for thirty-nine months through May 31, 2014. Rent expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2011
and August 31, 2010 is $31,809 and $51,826, respectively.
Trio Consulting & Management and Merritt Operating are the bonded operators for the Companys
former Denton and Wise County, Texas wells 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 with increasingly stringent environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on
the Companys future earnings.
11. LAW SUIT SETTLEMENT:
On May 28, 2009 the Company, along with Grasslands I, L.P., intervened as third party plaintiffs in
a lawsuit originally captioned as Clay Bain, et. al. v. Earthwise Energy, Inc. (EEI) which was
filed in April 2009 in the 14th Judicial District, Dallas County Texas, Cause No.
095253. Our petition requested that we be given certain injunctive relief and be awarded
unspecified damages for certain alleged causes of action including, but not limited to, fraud,
conversion and violation of fiduciary duty against defendant Earthwise Energy, Inc. but also as
against two individuals, Jeffery C. Reynolds and Steven C. Howard who were added to the lawsuit as
third party defendants. Mr. Reynolds is a former member of our Board of Directors who resigned in
July 2008. The lawsuit was settled on February 11, 2010 wherein it is acknowledged that the
Company is the rightful owner of certain interests in the Wise
F-8
Table of Contents
and Denton County, Texas. Gulftex
Operating received $97,909 (net of expenses) on behalf of the Company for the Johnson Nos. 1 and 2
gas wells in Wise County, Texas covering the period March 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009. The
$97,909 received by Gulftex Operating was used to pay down a portion of its loans to the Company.
The Companys also received $13,973 (net of expenses) for its overrides in nine gas wells in Denton
County, Texas covering the period March 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009. It is intended that these
payments fully resolve all claims by the Company against the defendants.
12. COURT ORDERED RESTITUTION:
On May 26, 2000 a former employee was sentenced to three years probation for forging Company
checks. As part of the sentencing the former employee is required to make restitution to the
Company in the amount of $152,915. Because of the uncertainty of collecting the amount owed, the
Company has not recorded a receivable but instead is recording income as payments are received from
the U.S. District Court of Dallas, Texas. The Company received $0 during the nine months ended
August 31, 2011 and $99,126 during the same period last year. The balance outstanding as of August
31, 2011 is approximately $51,062.
13. INCOME TAXES:
The Company computes income taxes using the asset and liability. 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 nine months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 due to either the
Companys net operating losses or the available tax loss carryforward.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has recently entered into three material contracts. On September 2, 2011 TBX Resources,
Inc. (TBX) entered into an Investment Agreement with LoneStar Income and Growth, LLC, a Texas
limited liability company, an unrelated third party. The Investment Agreement provides that
LoneStar will acquire up to 2,750,000 shares of TBXs 2011 Series A 8% Preferred Stock (theStock)
for the sum of $5,500,000 contingent upon TBX using the proceeds of the Stock to acquire a majority
51% membership interest in Frontier Income and Growth, LLC (Frontier), a salt water
transportation and disposal company. The Stock has the following attributes in its designation
filed with the Texas Secretary of State:

his one half ownership of Frontier Asset Management, LLC (FAM) which has a contractual agreement
with Frontier for its management services. Once the investors in Frontier have been repaid 125% of
their initial investment by Frontier, FAMS share of the profit will increase to 50%. TBX, in a

Notes:
1. | Total Gross Wells are those wells in which the Company holds an overriding interest in as of August 31, 2011. |
2. | Net Productive Wells was calculated by multiplying the overriding interest held by the Company in each of the 9 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 royalty interest. |
4. | Net Developed Acres is equal to the Total Gross Developed Acres multiplied by the percentage of the total royalty interest held by the Company in the respective properties. |
5. | All acreage in which we hold a royalty interest as of August 31, 2011 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. |

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited financial
statements included on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2010 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
financial statements at November 30, 2010. 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 Office Furniture and Fixtures
The Company sold its furniture and fixtures in the second quarter of 2011 for $2,220 and wrote-off
the fully depreciated value of the related assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the third quarter ended August 31, 2011 we reported a net loss of $8,923 as compared to a net
loss of $18,194 for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended August 31, 2011, we
reported a net loss of $80,677 as compared to net income of $5,795 for the same period last year.
The components of these results are explained below.
Revenues- Oil and gas revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2011 was $3,505, a decrease of
84.5%, as compared to $22,557 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. Oil and gas revenue for
the nine months ended August 31, 2011 was $5,927, a decrease of 89.9%, as compared to $58,666 for
the nine months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in revenue for the quarter and year-to-date is
primarily attributable to the forfeiture of the Johnson #1-H and Johnson a#2-H Joint Ventures.
Expenses- The components of our expenses for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2011 and
2010 are as follows:

Lease operating expenses decreased $7,727 for the quarter ended August 31, 2011 and $23,124
for the nine months ended August 31, 2011 over the same periods last year. The decrease in
quarterly and year-to-date operating expenses is primarily attributable to the forfeiture of the
Johnson #1-H and Johnson a#2-H Joint Ventures.
General and administrative expenses decreased $20,750 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 as
compared to the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is
attributable to lower professional fees of $26,854, lower rent of $14,649 and expenses in all other
categories totaling $99 offset by lower G&A cost allocations of $20,852 . For the nine months ended
August 31, 2011, general and administrative expenses decreased $45,700 as compared to the same
period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to lower
professional fees of $21,042, salaries and wages of $44,815, rent of $20,017 and expenses in all
other categories totaling $2,252, offset by lower G&A cost allocations of $42,426.
Depreciation and depletion expense totaled $0 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and $4,853
for the three months ended August 31, 2010. Depreciation and depletion expense totaled $0 for the
nine months ended August 31, 2011 and $9,672 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010. Accretion
expense totaled $0 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and $255 for the three months ended
August 31, 2010. Accretion expense totaled $0 for the nine months ended August 31, 2011 and $766
for the six months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in depreciation, depletion, amortization and
accretion expense is attributable to the write-off of the Johnson #1-H and Johnson and #2-H Joint
Ventures.
The Company forfeited its interest in Johnson #1-H and Johnson and #2-H Joint Ventures and
wrote-off the book value of the wells, asset retirement obligations, receivables and payables which
resulted in a loss of $16,089 in the current fiscal year.
Other income in the current fiscal year consists of the Companys sale of all furniture and
fixtures for $2,220 with the resulting write-off of the fully depreciated values of the related
assets. Other income in the previous fiscal year consists of a partial recovery of losses sustained
when a former employee forged Company checks for personal use. On May 26, 2000 the former employee
was sentenced to three years probation. As part of the sentencing the former employee is required
to make restitution to the Company.
We have not recorded any income taxes for the nine months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 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 $531 as of August 31, 2011. Our current ratio at August 31, 2011
was .04:1, and we had no long-term debt. As of August 31, 2011, our stockholders deficit was
$82,919. Net cash used for operations totaled $47,410 for the nine months ended August 31, 2011 and
cash provided by operations totaled $82,713 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010. This
represents an increase of $130,123 in cash used for operating activities.
For the nine months ended August 31, 2011, net cash provided by investing activities was $2,220 as
a result of our sale of office furniture and fixtures. For the nine months ended August 31, 2010,
net cash provided by investing activities was $0.

2010. Financing activities relate to advances from and payments to Gulftex.
PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FUTURE
TBX Resources, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Texas in March 1995. In the past we have
primarily focused our business efforts on acquiring oil and gas production properties and leases.
We did this because we believed that the major oil companies were leaving the US domestic oil and
gas market due to domestic oil and gas exploration properties being significantly depleted. However
this trend has changed and major oil companies are again acquiring domestic properties primarily in
fields where natural gas is prevalent. This has increased the competition and prices for oil
properties and management believes, due to our current financial condition, that we will not be
able to compete for and purchase oil and gas properties as effectively as we have in the past. In
response to this trend management has recently initiated changes to the Companys business plan.
Currently, our primary focus is to secure additional capital through business alliances with third
parties or other debt/equity financing arrangements to acquire companies and assets which will
allow the company to operate in the oil field services industry with an emphasis on acquiring
companies involved in salt water and drilling fluid disposal. Secondarily we will continue to seek
out and acquire producing oil and gas leases and wells. At this time we have no specific
acquisition targets identified but we are actively engaged generally in such a search.
We have explored and will continue to explore all avenues possible to raise the funds
required. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to execute
our plans or that if successful in securing the funds our actual financial results will improve.
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. However, in the event, we are
successful in making any acquisitions, it is likely that existing employees currently employed will
remain with the acquisition(s) .
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4T. 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 August 31, 2011 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.

Table of Contents
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
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.
