Overview
We are a Nevada corporation incorporated on December 9, 2004. We are an exploration and development stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for oil and natural gas in Canada and the United States. We are currently generating revenues and have proved oil and gas reserves from our business operations in Mississippi and in Oklahoma. We have acquired the right to explore the Strachan Hills oil and gas property in Alberta, Canada and assumed a working interest in the Owl Creek Prospect, Oklahoma and the Palmetto Point and other oil and gas properties in Mississippi, USA. Our detailed business plan is discussed herein.
The following disclosure relates to each property that we have an interest in:
Alberta
We have acquired an interest in a property located 80 miles northwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. On September 23, 2005, our Company signed an agreement to participate in a 13,330 foot drill program. As of July 31, 2008, the Company has paid $405,407 for a 4% gross interest to participate in any oil and gas produced (before recovery of the costs of the drill program), reducing to a 2% interest after recovery of the drilling costs. The Company expects to pay further costs equal to its 4% interest in completing and equipping an earning well to a pipeline tie in if warranted. The property is reached by traveling 100 miles north from the city of Calgary on Highway #22, and is approximately a one-half hour drive past the town of Rocky Mountain House.
Drilling of this well has been completed and some evaluation has been completed. The well may or may not be commercial and we require additional evaluation before we can determine the status of this well. Odin Capital Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, with whom the Company entered into this agreement, is a Canadian exploration finance company that arranges all aspects of identifying, financing, exploring and drilling properties. The operator of the earning well is Rosetta Exploration Inc. of Calgary, Alberta.
During the period ended July 31, 2008, the Company wrote down the cost of property to a nominal value of $1 as the future realization of the property is uncertain.
Mississippi
As of July 31, 2008, the Company owns a 30% gross working interest in 12 wells; a 45% gross working interest in 7 wells; and a 50% gross working interest in 43 wells (of which 38 wells remain to be drilled ); all located in Mississippi under various agreements with Griffin & Griffin Exploration, L.L.C. Additional details of these interests are noted below.
The Company entered into a 10-hole drilling program agreement (the Griffin Drilling Program Agreement) with Griffin & Griffin Exploration, L.L.C. (Griffin) dated December 21, 2005, whereby we acquired a 20% gross interest in any oil and gas produced, in a 10-well drilling program (the Drilling Program), to be carried out at Palmetto Point, Southwest Mississippi.
Palmetto Point is approximately 150 miles southwest of Jackson, Mississippi and approximately 50 miles north/northwest of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is 30 miles west of Woodville, Mississippi off of State Highway 33.
By January 17, 2006 we paid $700,000 to Griffin, which represented the full cost of the Companys 20% working interest in the Drilling Program. There were no further costs to the Company in earning its interest, including well development costs or pipeline connectors. Griffin has agreed that the leases held by it covering any mineral estate underlying the applicable well site acreage shall not provide for more than twenty-five (25%) percent royalty and overriding royalty interest. Our net interest in any oil and gas produced is calculated by subtracting the applicable royalties from our 20% gross interest. Consequently, our original net working interest in the drilling program was a minimum fifteen (15%) percent net working interest. Griffin conducted the Drilling Program in its capacity as Operator. We subsequently increased our participation under this program by spending $140,000 to earn the same 20% interest in 2 additional wells 12 wells total and all drilled - and we subsequently increased our gross interest to 30% in these 12 wells, or a net working interest of 22.5%. The results of these wells are as follows as of July 31, 2008:
Phase I Palmetto Point 30% gross interest

On August 3, 2006, we entered into our Phase II agreement with Griffin & Griffin Exploration LLC, which covers an Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) exclusive to the participants, which includes 50 prospects for drilling of wells to depths sufficient to test prospectively producible hydrocarbons from the top of the Frio Formation to the bottom of the Wilcox Formation. From these 50 prospects, Griffin and Griffin and the participants will select all drill locations. We had contracted to assume a 40% gross interest in this AMI, meaning we were obligated to pay 40% of costs related to licensing, permitting, drilling, completing and all other related costs. This 50-well AMI is intended to be drilled in several stages. The first stage had a total cost of $4 million, of which Lexarias pro rata share is $1.6 million. The Company had placed $1,600,000 in trust to completely fund this initial commitment. During the drill program, an unrelated third party participant elected not to continue their participation in the program, and we assumed our pro-rata portion of their 10% gross working interest as our own, at no additional cost, bringing our total gross working interest in these seven wells and their leases, to 45%.
The first of these 7 wells was successfully drilled and completed and entered into production. The second well in this Phase II program targeted the Wilcox formation, did not encounter commercially viable quantities of hydrocarbons, and was plugged and abandoned, with total costs associated with this well of $162,420. All 7 of these wells have now been drilled, with results as follows:

Phase III 50% gross interest
As of July 31, 2008, five additional wells were drilled under the 50-well AMI. Each of these wells encountered non commercial quantities of hydrocarbons and were plugged and abandoned. There are 38 wells remaining to be drilled under the terms of the 50-well AMI as of July 31, 2008.
After a well has been drilled and completed and enters into production, we are responsible for paying our share of production and operations costs. As a matter of course, we will have to pay pipeline transmission costs if and when each well starts transporting natural gas.
Oklahoma
On August 3, 2006, the Company entered an agreement to acquire a 7.5% working interest in the Owl Creek Prospect, Oklahoma. The operator is Ranken Energy Ltd. of 417 W. 18th Street, Suite 101, Edmond, Oklahoma. We paid $100,000 for a 7.5% interest and to participate in the Isbill #1-36 well. The Isbill #1-36 well was drilled and on
September 11, 2006 the Company elected to abandon the well but reserved the right under the agreement to participate in future additional wells in the AMI in the Owl Creek Prospect.
During the fiscal year 2007, our second participatory well was drilled at Owl Creek, the Isbill #2-36 well, in which we also have a 7.5% interest. The Isbill#2-36 well was successful and is in production of both oil and natural gas and is contributing to our revenue generation.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2008
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2008, there were revenues of $803,294 compared to revenues of $148,729 for the same nine-month period in the prior year. The increase in revenues for both periods was caused by oil and natural gas sales received from the Companys properties in Mississippi and Oklahoma. In particular the revenues increased from the Companys Mississippi operations as a result of three intermittently producing oil wells.
For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2008 we incurred costs and expenses in the amount of $1,464,916 compared to costs and expenses of $1,925,142 for the same nine-month period in the prior year.
This decrease in costs and expenses is attributable to costs of revenue and administrative expenses we incurred in connection with the following:
·
Depletion costs decreased to $338,598 for the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: $632,796). There was a decrease in the write down of the carrying value of oil and gas properties, amounting to $nil for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007:$354,418).
·
Oil and gas well operating costs decreased to $598,605 for the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: $1,046,275), as a result of a decrease in the write down of the carrying value of oil and gas properties and a decreased depletion amount.
·
Accounting and audit costs increased to $43,747 for the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: $34,370) due to the increase of the audit fee.
·
Insurance costs increased to $10,140 for the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: $nil) due to purchasing insurance cover for Directors and Officers Liability.
·
Bank charges and exchange gain / loss decreased to a gain of $236 for the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: loss of $5,002) as result of currency movements between the Canadian and US Dollar.
·
Fees paid to a consultant. In the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008, the Company incurred $142,131 (July 31, 2007: $731,312). The decrease in fees was due to $682,312 being included as stock compensation in the prior period.
·
Interest expense from loan agreements increased to $72,142 for the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: $7,868) due to the interest accrued and paid on a related party and third party loans, both secured and not secured.
·
Investor relation costs increased to $94,610 for the nine-month period ending July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: $18,734), as the Company contracted an arms length party to perform investor relations.
·
Impairment of oil and gas acquisition cost increased to $405,406 for the period ended July 31, 2008 (July 31, 2007: $nil) as the result of the Company had written down its cost of oil and gas property in Strachan Leduc Reef, Alberta, Canada.
The Net Loss for the nine-months ending July 31, 2008 was $(658,324) (July 31, 2007: $(1,763,749)), The decrease in losses was caused by an increase in revenues from the Companys operations which was partially offset by an increase in the Companys operating expenses.
From January 2008 until July 2008, one of the Companys producing properties (the Belmont Lake oil field) was partially inaccessible due to flooding of the Mississippi River. Although limited oil and gas production continued throughout the flood, the Companys production was limited and therefore its revenue was impacted during the period. The Company and its operator are taking steps utilizing certain technologies which it hopes will mitigate such production interruptions in the future and thus give a greater likelihood of uninterrupted production in the future. Rising and falling water levels of the Mississippi River are not predictable, however, thus the possibility of future interruptions exists.
Assets
As of July 31, 2008, we had current assets of $357,450 and total assets of $3,818,560. We had total assets of $3,795,887 as of October 31, 2007. The increase in total assets was caused by the write down of oil and gas property in Canada of $405,406 and offset by an increase in oil and gas properties of $378,750, an increase in an accounts receivable of $73,521 resulting from increased revenues from the Companys Mississippi prospect, and an increase in cash from the private placement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2008, we had total current assets of $357,449 (October 31, 2007: $133,991) and total assets in the amount of $3,818,560 (October 31, 2007: $3,795,887). Our total current liabilities as of July 31, 2008 were $772,289 (October 31, 2007: $400,979). As a result, on July 31, 2008 we had negative working capital of $(414,840) (October 31, 2007: $(266,988)). The decrease in working capital was caused by an increase in Loan Payable by $363,981 which was partially offset by the increase of accounts receivable and cash to $241,075.
We relied on cash on hand previously raised through the issue of equity/debt capital and on the cash flows from operations to fund our operations during the nine-months ended July 31, 2008.
The company generates revenue, but not sufficient to generate a profit. We still anticipate the need to raise significant capital through the sale of equity or debt securities on a private or public basis in order to sustain operations and meet our objectives. It is uncertain whether we will be able to obtain the necessary capital.
We intend to fund operations and commitments over the next twelve months from our cash on hand, including our capital expenditures, working capital or other cash requirements. We believe cash from operating activities, and our existing cash resources may not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will likely require additional funds to support the Companys business plan. Management intends to raise additional working capital through debt and equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, and may have to curtail operations.
Natural Gas and Oil Properties
We account for our oil and gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition of properties and exploration with the intent of finding proved oil and gas reserves contribute to the discovery of proved reserves, including the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized. All general corporate costs are expensed as incurred. In general, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded. Amortization of evaluated oil and gas properties is computed on the units of production method based on all proved reserves on a country-by-country basis. Unevaluated oil and gas properties are assessed at least annually for impairment either individually or on an aggregate basis. The net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties (full cost ceiling limitation) are not to exceed their related estimated future net revenues from proved reserves discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, net of tax considerations. These properties are included in the amortization pool immediately upon the determination that the well is dry.
Unproved properties consist of lease acquisition costs and costs on well currently being drilled on the properties. The recorded costs of the investment in unproved properties are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until they are impaired.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the customers. Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk refined products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker lifting has occurred. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which we share an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by us during the period. Gas imbalances occur when our actual sales differ from its entitlement under existing working interests. We record a liability for gas imbalances when we have sold more than our working interest of gas production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that the partners can recoup their share of production from the field. For the nine-months ending July 31, 2008 and for fiscal 2007, we had no overproduced imbalances
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of July 31, 2008. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Christopher Bunka. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
Disclosure controls, procedures and controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal 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 internal 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.
