1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
of Business
TX
Holdings, Inc. ("TX Holdings" or the "Company"), formerly named R Wireless, Inc.
("RWLS") and HOM Corporation ("HOM"), is a Georgia corporation incorporated on
May 4, 2000. In December 2004 the Company began to structure itself into an oil
and gas exploration and production company. The Company acquired oil and gas
leases and began development of a plan for oil and gas producing operations in
April 2006.
The
Company is actively engaged in the exploration, development, and acquisition of
crude oil and natural gas in the counties of Callahan and Eastland, Texas. The
Company is also pursuing acquisitions in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Wyoming. In November 2006, the Company
entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Masada Oil & Gas, Inc.
("Masada"). Masada has previously served as the operator on two leases in which
TX Holdings currently holds interest in the counties of Callahan and Eastland,
Texas. TX Holding’s leases and the related working interests are as
follows:
|
a.
|
Contract
Area # 1, 8.5% Working Interest;
|
|
b.
|
Park's
Lease, 75% Working Interest;
|
The
Contract Area #1 leases include a total of 247 acres and a total of 36 wells. TX
Holdings is the operator of record for 27 of the wells and Masada is
the operator of record for the remaining 9 wells. The lease has eighteen wells
capable of production although production of the wells is minimal (from 3 to 5
bbls per day). The Company believes it may be able to achieve higher production
rates through the development of an effective water flood program. The water
flood program involves the injection of water into the field through injection
wells to force the oil to the production wells and thereby increase the
production rate.
The Parks
lease covers 320 acres in which the company owns a 75% working interest and
Masada owns the remaining 25%. The land owners of this lease have a
12.5% royalty interest in the production. TX Holdings is the lease operator of
the lease and there are currently 22 wells with minimal production rates. (2 to
3 bbls per day).
The
Company owned a 100% working interest and was the operator of the 843 acre
Williams Lease. Due to an on-going dispute with the land owner of the lease
which prevented the Company from operating or reporting any production on this
lease. On September 30, 2009, the Company elected to cease operation of the
Williams lease resulting in impairment of the lease. The Company recorded an
impairment loss of $68,222 for the year ended September 30, 2009 related to this
lease.
The
Company plans to continue using a combination of debt and equity financing to
acquire additional fields and to develop those fields. Currently, management
cannot provide any assurance regarding the successful development of acquired
oil and gas fields, the completion of additional acquisitions or the continued
ability to raise funds, however, it is using its best efforts to complete field
work on the fields acquired, acquire additional fields and finance
operations.
History
and Corporate Structure
TX
Holdings formerly acted as a holding company whose operations were conducted
through two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Direct Lending Inc. and Homes
By Owners, Inc. The Company ceased its former operations in September
2004. In December 2004, as a result of the Company’s research, the
Company announced that it would pursue acquisition of producing oil and gas
properties operations in the oil and gas industry. In connection with this
decision, the Company effected its name change to "TX Holdings, Inc." on
September 1, 2005. October 1, 2004 was the beginning day for the first quarter
of the determination to pursue operations in the oil and gas industry. The CUSIP
number changed to 873 11R 101 as of September 6, 2005, and the trading symbol
changed to TXHG as of September 19, 2005.
In April
2006 TX Holdings acquired a 75% working interest in the Parks Lease located in
Callahan County, Texas. In February 2006 TX Holdings entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding with Masada Oil and Gas Inc. and subsequently acquired an 8%
working interest in an oil and gas lease known as Contract Area #1 located in
Texas.
On March
28, 2006, TX Holdings appointed to its Board of Directors, Bobby Fellers, who
has worked in the oil and gas business for more than thirty years. Mr. Fellers
has assisted TX Holdings in the acquisition of the above referenced leases and
owns a ninety two percent working interest position in the Contract Area #1
lease and a twenty-five percent working interest in the Parks Lease. In addition
Mr. Fellers is the sole owner of Masada Oil & Gas Inc a Texas corporation,
which is the current operator of record of certain wells in Contract Area #1 in
which TX Holdings has an 8% working interest.
5
On or
about May 7, 2007, the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with
Hewitt Energy Group, LLC (“Hewitt”), a company owned by Douglas C. Hewitt, a
Director of TX Holdings, Inc. at the time of the transaction. The
Strategic Alliance Agreement provided that TX Holdings, Inc. would acquire a 50%
working Interest in eight projects in Kansas and Oklahoma. The purchase and
development of all of the prospects were estimated at approximately $15,000,000
in cash and stock to be paid over a 6 month period. Mr. Hewitt resigned as a
director on July, 27, 2007 The Company and Mr. Hewitt mutually agreed to
terminate the Strategic Alliance Agreement and to negotiate the participation in
individual projects. There is currently a dispute between the Company and Mr.
Hewitt as to the extent of the Company’s performance and entitlement under the
new agreement executed in August of 2007.
In July
through September 2006 the Company raised $1,240,000 in a Private Placement
offering. The funds raised were used to purchase interests in three oil and gas
fields located in Texas as described above. Development of the fields began on
November 1, 2006, by way of cleaning up the fields and preparing the wells
located in the fields for testing required by the State of Texas. The testing of
wells located in the Williams Field was completed as of April 30, 2008. In
November 2007, the Company began work on the Parks Lease.
The
Company has experienced substantial costs for engineering and other professional
services during 2005 through 2009 in making the attempt to transition to an oil
and gas exploration and production company from its current development stage
status.
Recent
Developments
On
December 1, 2007, Mark Neuhaus resigned as Chairman of the Board, Director and
CEO of the Company. On December 24, 2007 the Board accepted Mr.
Neuhaus' resignation and canceled the 1,000 preferred shares of stock held by
Mr. Neuhaus, in exchange for 10,715,789 common shares . The Board determined
that it was in the best interest of the Company to remove Mr. Neuhaus from
voting control of the Company. On November 11, 2008 the Company entered into a
settlement agreement with Mr. Neuhaus and his wife. The agreement was subject to
the condition precedent that the Company finalize a transaction with a third
party involving certain oil and gas properties within 90 days of November 11,
2008 ("Third Party Closing"). Effective as of and when the Third Party Closing
occured, the agreement provided for mutual general releases between the Company
and Mark Neuhaus and Nicole Neuhaus. In connection with the agreement, seven
million shares of the common stock of the Company previously issued to Mark
Neuhaus were to be delivered to the Company to be held pending the Third Party
Closing. If the Third Party Closing occured within the 90 day period, (1) four
million five hundred thousand of the deposited shares would be cancelled and
returned to authorized but unissued shares of the Company,(2) two million five
hundred thousand of the deposited shares would be delivered to Nicole Neuhaus
and (3) certain alleged claims of Mark Neuhaus against the Company
for compensation and reimbursement for $178,862 of advances and a purported
indebtedness of the Company to Mark Neuhaus of $1,303,875, including
interest accrued through October 31, 2008 and represented by a convertible note
dated as of September 28, 2007 would be cancelled. If the Third Party Closing
did not occur within 90 days of November 11, 2008 the settlement agreement would
be void and of no force and effect and the deposited shares would be returned.
The Company was not successful in finalizing the transaction with the third
party within the stipulated period resulting in the cancellation of the
settlement agreement between the Company and Mark Neuhaus and Nicole
Neuhaus
On
December 24, 2007, William “Buck” Shrewsbury was appointed as the Chairman of
the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, replacing
Mark Neuhaus. Mr. Shrewsbury attended the University of Kentucky 1962 -1965 with
a major in Civil Engineering. He served as the IT Manager with a large steel
mill for 19 years. Mr. Shrewsbury owns his own trucking company as well as being
an agent for a major transportation company.
On
December 24, 2007, Martin Lipper was appointed to the Board of Directors of the
Company, replacing Douglas C. Hewitt. Martin Lipper is a Korean War Veteran. He
graduated from N.Y.U. in 1958 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and
Economics. Mr. Lipper began his career on Wall St. as a securities analyst
specializing in bank stock analysis. He Joined the Bank of N.Y. and was the

Effective
January 17, 2008 the Articles of Incorporation were amended, pursuant to
shareholder consent, to increase the authorized common shares of the Company
from 50,000,000 to 250,000,000 shares.
In April
2008 the Company completed the work required to receive its own Operators
License from the Texas Railroad Commission. This license permits the Company to
complete and begin the production and sale of oil and gas. The Company has
started by placing 3 wells into operation on the Parks Lease. The initial
production has averaged 2-3 bopd. The Company intends to place an additional 7
wells into production on the Parks Lease over the quarter ending December 31,
2009, and the Company expects the well production to increase to 7 -10 bopd.
Once these wells are in production, the Company will return to each well and
perform work over operations to clean up the wells and attempt to increase
production. For the next year, the Company will concentrate on placing
additional Park lease wells into production. It is managements’ goal to place
sufficient wells into production to achieve profitability and not rely on
continued raising capital and borrowing to continue operations.
On May 12,
2008, Jose Fuentes was named chief financial officer of the Company when Michael
A. Cederstrom tendered his resignation. Mr. Cederstrom represented the Company
as the chief financial officer and general counsel. The legal firm Dexter &
Dexter received a monthly fee of $15,000 for Mr Cederstrom’s services as the
representative of the firm.
On June
11, 2009, Richard “Rick” Novack was appointed to the Board of Directors and
elected president of the Company, replacing Rob Hutchings. Mr. Hutchings
continued to serve as a member of the Board of Directors until August 2009, when
he tendered his resignation. Rick Novack attended the Indiana
University of Pennsylvania where he majored in Business Administration. Mr.
Novack began his career in finance and subsequently started several business
enterprises, including entities in the printing, vending and real estate
industries.
Background
for Oil and Gas Business Activities
Since
August 2005 oil prices have exceeded $31 per barrel. On December 8, 2009 the
closing price for a barrel of oil was $72.59 At these prices, secondary
recovery, or the recovery accomplished by injecting gas or water into a
reservoir to replace produced fluids and thus maintain or increase the reservoir
pressure is financially viable. The current corporate direction is to acquire
through purchase, merger and option, fields with proven reserves and excellent
development prospects. Concurrently, the Company is exploring options for the
acquisition of operational expertise and equipment.
This
strategy is contingent upon the Company's ability to obtain sufficient capital
to fund the high start up costs of testing, analyzing, acquiring capital
equipment and lease acquisition.
Principal
Products or Services and Markets
The
principal markets for our crude oil and natural gas are expected to be refining
companies, pipeline companies, utility companies and private industry end users.
The point of delivery of our crude oil is at tank batteries located at or near
well sites on the leases. We believe that our customers will be based in the
State of Texas and in the industries discussed above. Currently, the wells the
Company operates are only capable of producing oil. Currently, sufficient
quantities of natural gas are not produced to warrant the cost of installing a
collection system.
Although
we anticipate that any crude oil and natural gas that we produce will be sold to
customers in the State of Texas, no assurance can be given that such sales will
occur, or that if they do, that the volume we produce or the prices we receive
will be sufficient to make our operations profitable.
Distribution
Methods of Products or Services
Crude oil
will be stored in tanks at well sites located on our leases, until the purchaser
takes delivery of the crude oil by tanker truck. On May, 2008, TX Holdings
entered into a contract for the sale of its crude with BML, Inc.
7
Competitive
Business Conditions
Our oil
and gas exploration activities in Texas are undertaken in a highly competitive
and speculative business environment. In seeking any other suitable oil and gas
properties for acquisition, we will be competing with a number of other
companies located in Texas and elsewhere, including large oil and gas companies
and other independent operators, most with greater financial
resources.
Although,
our management generally does not foresee difficulties in procuring logging of
wells, cementing and well treatment services in the area of our operations,
several factors, including increased competition in the area, may limit the
availability of logging equipment, cementing and well treatment services. If
such an event occurs, it will have a significant adverse impact on the
profitability of our operations.
The prices
of our products are controlled by the world oil market; thus, competitive
pricing behavior in this regard is considered unlikely; however, competition in
the oil and gas exploration industry exists in the form of competition to
acquire the most promising acreage blocks and obtaining the most favorable
prices for completion of wells and drilling costs.
Dependence
on One or a Few Major Customers
We will be
dependent on local purchasers of hydrocarbons to purchase our products in the
areas where our properties are located. We do not anticipate, that the loss of
one or more of our primary purchasers will have a substantial adverse impact on
our sales and on our ability to operate profitably.
Patents,
Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor
Contracts
Royalty
agreements relating to oil and gas production are fairly standardized in the
industry. However, the percentage and amount of royalties paid by producers vary
from lease to lease.
Governmental
Approval and Regulation
The
production and sale of oil and gas are subject to regulation by federal, state
and local authorities. None of the products that we expect to offer require
governmental approval, although permits are required for the drilling of oil and
gas wells. Additionally, testing of well integrity is required on a routine
basis.
When and
if we begin to sell natural gas we will be affected by intrastate and interstate
gas transportation regulation. Beginning in 1985, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC"), which sets the rates and charges for the transportation and
sale of natural gas, adopted regulatory changes that have significantly altered
the transportation and marketing of natural gas. The stated purpose of FERC's
changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the natural gas
industry. In 1995, FERC implemented regulations generally grandfathering all
previously approved interstate transportation rates and establishing an indexing
system for those rates by which adjustments are made annually based on the rate
of inflation, subject to certain conditions and limitations. These regulations
may tend to increase the cost of transporting oil and natural gas by pipeline.
Every five years, FERC will examine the relationship between the change in the
applicable index and the actual cost changes experienced by the industry. We are
not able to predict with certainty what effect, if any, these regulations will
have on us.
Texas law
requires that we obtain state permits for the drilling of oil and gas wells and
to post a bond with the Texas Railroad Commission (the "RRC") to ensure that
each well is reclaimed and properly plugged when it is abandoned. The
reclamation bond amount is $50,000 for up to ninety-nine wells. The Company has
arranged a letter of credit in the amount of $50,000 to meet the requirements
for the bond.
The state
and regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry generally increases
our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. While we believe we
are presently in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
rules and regulations, continued compliance (or failure to comply) and future
legislation may have an adverse impact on our present and contemplated business
operations. Because such federal and state regulation are amended or
reinterpreted frequently, we are unable to predict with certainty the future
cost or impact of complying with these laws.
Research
and Development
During
2009 and 2008 we did not incur any research and development
expenditures.
8
Intellectual
Property
None.
Environmental
Compliance
We are
subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the
protection of the environment, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), and the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amended (the "Clean Water Act"), which
affect our operations and costs. In particular, our exploration, development and
production operations, our activities in connection with storage and
transportation of oil and other hydrocarbons and our use of facilities for
treating, processing or otherwise handling hydrocarbons and related wastes may
be subject to regulation under these and similar state legislation. These laws
and regulations:
o
|
restrict
the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be
released into the environment in connection with drilling and production
activities;
|
o
|
limit
or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness,
wetlands and other protected areas;
and
|
o
|
impose
substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our
operations.
|
Failure to
comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of
administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties or the imposition of
injunctive relief. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur
regularly, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly waste
handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could materially
adversely affect our operations and financial position, as well as those in the
oil and natural gas industry in general. While we believe that we are in
substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and
regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements would not
have a material adverse impact on us, there is no assurance that this trend will
continue in the future.
As with
the industry generally, compliance with existing regulations increases our
overall cost of business. The areas affected include:
o
|
unit
production expenses primarily related to the control and limitation of air
emissions and the disposal of produced
water;
|
o
|
capital
costs to drill exploration and development wells primarily related to the
management and disposal of drilling fluids and other oil and natural gas
exploration wastes; and
|
o
|
capital
costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and
facilities.
|
CERCLA,
also known as "Superfund," imposes liability for response costs and damages to
natural resources, without regard to fault or the legality of the original act,
on some classes of persons that contributed to the release of a "hazardous
substance" into the environment. These persons include the "owner" or "operator"
of a disposal site and entities that disposed or arranged for the disposal of
the hazardous substances found at the site. CERCLA also authorizes the
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and, in some instances, third parties to
act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek
to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. It is
not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims
for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous
substances released into the environment. In the course of our ordinary
operations, we may generate waste that may fall within CERCLA's definition of a
"hazardous substance." We may be jointly and severally liable under CERCLA or
comparable state statutes for all or part of the costs required to clean up
sites at which these wastes have been disposed.
We
currently lease properties that for many years have been used for the
exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Although we and our
predecessors have used operating and disposal practices that were standard in
the industry at the time, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been disposed or
released on, under or from the properties owned or leased by us or on, under or
from other locations where these wastes have been taken for disposal. In
addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose
actions with respect to the treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or
other wastes were not under our control. These properties and wastes disposed on
these properties may be subject to CERCLA and analogous state laws. Under these
laws, we could be required:
9
o
|
to
remove or remediate previously disposed wastes, including wastes disposed
or released by prior owners or
operators;
|
o
|
to
clean up contaminated property, including contaminated groundwater; or to
perform remedial operations to prevent future
contamination;
|
o
|
to
clean up contaminated property, including contaminated groundwater; or to
perform remedial operations to prevent future
contamination.
|
At this
time, we do not believe that we are associated with any Superfund site and we
have not been notified of any claim, liability or damages under
CERCLA.
The
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") is the principal federal statute
governing the treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes. RCRA imposes
stringent operating requirements and liability for failure to meet such
requirements on a person who is either a "generator" or "transporter" of
hazardous waste or an "owner" or "operator" of a hazardous waste treatment,
storage or disposal facility. At present, RCRA includes a statutory exemption
that allows most oil and natural gas exploration and production waste to be
classified as non-hazardous waste. A similar exemption is contained in many of
the state counterparts to RCRA. As a result, we are not required to comply with
a substantial portion of RCRA's requirements because our operations generate
minimal quantities of hazardous wastes. At various times in the past, proposals
have been made to amend RCRA to rescind the exemption that excludes oil and
natural gas exploration and production wastes from regulation as hazardous
waste. Repeal or modification of the exemption by administrative, legislative or
judicial process, or modification of similar exemptions in applicable state
statutes, would increase the volume of hazardous waste we are required to manage
and dispose of and would cause us to incur increased operating
expenses.
The Clean
Water Act imposes restrictions and controls on the discharge of produced waters
and other wastes into navigable waters. Permits must be obtained to discharge
pollutants into state and federal waters and to conduct construction activities
in waters and wetlands. The Clean Water Act requires us to construct a fresh
water containment barrier between the surface of each drilling site and the
underlying water table. This involves the insertion of a seven-inch diameter
steel casing into each well, with cement on the outside of the casing. The cost
of compliance with this environmental regulation is approximately $10,000 per
well. Certain state regulations and the general permits issued under the Federal
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program prohibit the discharge
of produced waters and sand, drilling fluids, drill cuttings and certain other
substances related to the oil and natural gas industry into certain coastal and
offshore waters. Further, the EPA has adopted regulations requiring certain oil
and natural gas exploration and production facilities to obtain permits for
storm water discharges. Costs may be associated with the treatment of wastewater
or developing and implementing storm water pollution prevention
plans.
The Clean
Water Act and comparable state statutes provide for civil, criminal and
administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges for oil and other
pollutants and impose liability on parties responsible for those discharges for
the costs of cleaning up any environmental damage caused by the release and for
natural resource damages resulting from the release. We believe that our
operations comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Clean
Water Act and state statutes enacted to control water pollution.
Our
operations are also subject to laws and regulations requiring removal and
cleanup of environmental damages under certain circumstances. Laws and
regulations protecting the environment have generally become more stringent in
recent years, and may in certain circumstances impose "strict liability,"
rendering a corporation liable for environmental damages without regard to
negligence or fault on the part of such corporation. Such laws and regulations
may expose us to liability for the conduct of operations or conditions caused by
others, or for acts which may have been in compliance with all applicable laws
at the time such acts were performed. The modification of existing laws or
regulations or the adoption of new laws or regulations relating to environmental
matters could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
In
addition, our existing and proposed operations could result in liability for
fires, blowouts, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials into surface and
subsurface aquifers and other environmental damage, any one of which could
result in personal injury, loss of life, property damage or destruction or
suspension of operations. We have an Emergency Action and Environmental Response
Policy Program in place. This program details the appropriate response to any
emergency that management believes to be possible in our area of operations. We
believe we are presently in compliance with all applicable federal and state
environmental laws, rules and regulations; however, continued compliance (or
failure to comply) and future legislation may have an adverse impact on our
present and contemplated business operations.
10
The
foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the existing environmental laws,
rules and regulations to which our business operations are subject, and there
are many others, the effects of which could have an adverse impact on our
business. Future legislation in this area will no doubt be enacted and revisions
will be made in current laws. No assurance can be given as to what effect these
present and future laws, rules and regulations will have on our current future
operations.
Insurance
Our
operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the exploration for, and
development and production of oil and gas including blowouts, fires and other
casualties. Currently the Company does not maintain insurance coverage. Losses
could arise from uninsured risks
Company
Employees and Other Workers
On
September 30, 2009, the Company had three employees. On December 24, 2007,
William Shrewsbury was appointed Chairman of the Board of Director. Jose Fuentes was
promoted to the Chief Financial Position on May 12, 2008 after the resignation
of the interim Chief Financial Officer, Michael Cederstrom. On June 11, 2009
Richard “Rick” Novack was appointed to the Board of Directors and elected
President. Other specialized functions are provided as necessary
through the engagement of independent consulting contractors.
Item
1A, Risk Factors
Risk
Factors Relating to the Company's Business
Due to the
competitiveness of the oil and gas industry, the lack of acquisitions and
uncertainty of the current negotiations,, and the nature of the Company's
business, it encounters many risk factors. Each of these factors, as well as
matters set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-K, could adversely affect the
business, operating results and financial condition of the Company.
Any
investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other
information included in this Annual Report. Although the risks described below
are the risks that we believe are material, they are not the only risks relating
to our business and our Common Stock. Additional risks and uncertainties,
including those that are not yet identified or that we currently believe are
immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations. If any of the events described below occur, our business
and financial results could be materially and adversely affected. The market
price of our Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, perhaps
significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
General
Risks Related To Our Business
Brief
Operating History - No Assurance of Profitability
The
Company has a brief operating history. Although we commenced operations in 1997,
prior businesses have been sold or discontinued and original management has been
replaced as previous operations have not been profitable. The Wi-Fi business
contemplated subsequent to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the
Company by MA&N did not materialize. The Company has recently completed the
acquisition of its initial oil and gas leases. However, as of December 8, 2009
the Company has sold only a limited amount of oil and gas production. The
Company has encountered unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, difficulties and
delays frequently associated with new ventures, and these may continue. There is
no assurance that the Company's business ventures will be successful or that the
Company will be able to produce and acquire sufficient productive wells to meet
its goals. The Company anticipates that its operating expenses will increase if
and as its business expands, and it will need to generate revenues sufficient to
meet all of its expenses to achieve profitability.
The
Company Has A History Of Operating Losses And Cannot Guarantee Profitable
Operations In The Future. Any Failure On Our Part To Achieve Profitability May
Cause To Reduce Or Eventually Cease Operations.
We
reported a net loss of $676,123 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2008
and a net loss of $1,276,127 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2009. At
September 30, 2008 and 2009 respectively, we reported accumulated deficits of
$12,030,172 and $13,306,299. Based on current expectations, the Company will
need to find additional sources of financing to meet our general corporate needs
as well as the large capital requirements necessary for the production of the
oil and gas in the wells we currently operate and lease, and the acquisition of
additional oil and gas producing properties.
11
We will
require additional financing to fund ongoing operations, as our current sales
and revenue growth are insufficient to meet our operating costs. At this time
the Company has no material revenue and is unable to meet its current
obligations. In the past the Company has been able to raise capital
from its stockholders/officers through stock-based compensation and advances.
The Company will need to borrow or raise sufficient equity capitalization to
meet its current obligations. In addition the Company will need to
raise approximately $200,000 in working capital to complete the refurbishment
and development of the leases it currently operates. The Company
estimates that it will take from 12 to 24 months to achieve
profitability. Our inability to obtain necessary capital or financing
to fund these needs will adversely affect our ability to fund operations and
continue as a going concern. Additional financing may not be available when
needed or may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If adequate funds are
not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more
of our business strategies, which may affect our overall business results of
operations and financial condition
Competition
Could Negatively Affect Revenues
The
proposed business of the Company is highly competitive. Additional competitors
may also enter the market and future competition may intensify. Most of these
competitors have substantially greater financial resources than the Company, and
they may be able to accept more financial risk than the Company feels is
prudent.
Our
Business May Fail If We Do Not Succeed In Our Efforts To Develop and Replace Oil
and Gas Reserves.
Our future
success will depend upon our ability to find, acquire and develop additional
economically recoverable oil and gas reserves. Our proved reserves will
generally decline as they are produced, except to the extent that we conduct
revitalization activities, or acquire properties containing proved reserves, or
both. To increase reserves and production, we must continue our development
drilling and completion programs, identify and produce previously overlooked or
bypassed zones in shut-in wells, acquire additional properties or undertake
other replacement activities. Our current strategy is to increase our reserve
base, production and cash flow through the development of our existing oil and
gas fields and selective acquisitions of other promising properties where we can
use new or existing technology. Despite our efforts, our planned revitalization,
development and acquisition activities may not result in significant additional
reserves, and we may not be able to discover and produce reserves at economical
exploration and development costs. If we fail in these efforts, our business may
also fail.
Our
Revenues May Be Less Than Expected If Our Oil and Gas Reserve Estimates Are
Inaccurate.
Oil and
gas reserve estimates and the present values attributed to these estimates are
based on many engineering and geological characteristics as well as operational
assumptions that generally are derived from limited data. Common assumptions
include such matters as the anticipated future production from existing and
future wells, future development and production costs and the ultimate
hydrocarbon recovery percentage. As a result, oil and gas reserve estimates and
present value estimates are frequently revised to reflect production data
obtained after the date of the original estimate. If reserve estimates are
inaccurate, production rates may decline more rapidly than anticipated, and
future production revenues may be less than estimated. In addition, significant
downward revisions of reserve estimates may hinder our ability to borrow funds
in the future, or may hinder other financing arrangements that we may
consider.
In
addition, any estimates of future net revenues and their present value are based
on period ending prices and on cost assumptions that only represent our best
estimate. If these estimates of quantities, prices and costs prove inaccurate
and we are unsuccessful in expanding our oil and gas reserves base, or if oil
and gas prices decline or become unstable, we may have to write down the
capitalized costs associated with our oil and gas assets. We will also largely
rely on reserve estimates when we acquire producing properties. If we
overestimate the potential oil and gas reserves of a property to be acquired, or
if our subsequent operations on the property are not successful, the acquisition
of the property could result in substantial losses.
We
Are Implementing a Growth Strategy Which, If Successful, Will Place Significant
Demands On Us and Subject Us To Numerous Risks.
Growing
businesses often have difficulty managing their growth. If our growth strategy
is successful, significant demands will be placed on our management, accounting,
financial, information and other systems and on our business. We will have to
expand our management and recruit and employ experienced executives and key
employees capable of providing the necessary support. In addition, to manage our
anticipated growth we will need to continue to improve our financial,
accounting, information and other systems in order to effectively manage our
growth, and in doing so could incur substantial additional expenses that could
harm our financial results. We cannot assure you that our management will be
able to manage our growth effectively or successfully, or that our financial,
accounting, information or other systems will be able to successfully
accommodate our external and internal growth. Our failure to meet these
challenges could materially impair our business.
12
We
May Not Be Able To Compete Successfully In Acquiring Prospective Reserves,
Developing Reserves, Marketing Oil and Natural Gas, Attracting and Retaining
Quality Personnel and Raising Additional Capital.
Our
ability to acquire additional prospects and to find and develop reserves in the
future will depend on our ability to obtain financing and to evaluate and select
suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive
environment. In addition, there is substantial competition for capital available
for investment in the oil and natural gas industry. Our inability to compete
successfully in these areas could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
In March
2008, TX Holdings began receiving its first revenue from the production of oil
and gas. The Company’s revenues could be affected by a substantial or
extended increase or decline in oil and natural gas prices. The price we receive
for future oil and natural gas production will heavily influence our revenue,
profitability, access to capital and rate of growth. Oil and natural gas are
commodities and their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to
relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil
and natural gas have been volatile and currently oil and natural gas prices are
significantly above historic levels. These markets will likely continue to be
volatile in the future and current record prices for oil and natural gas may
decline in the future. The prices we may receive for any future production, and
the levels of this production, depend on numerous factors beyond our control.
These factors include the following:
o
|
changes
in global supply and demand for oil and natural
gas;
|
o
|
actions
by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries, or
OPEC;
|
o
|
political
conditions, including embargoes, which affect other oil-producing
activities;
|
o
|
levels
of global oil and natural gas exploration and production
activity;
|
o
|
levels
of global oil and natural gas
inventories;
|
o
|
weather
conditions affecting energy
consumption;
|
o
|
technological
advances affecting energy consumption;
and
|
o
|
prices
and availability of alternative
fuels.
|
Lower oil
and natural gas prices may not only decrease our future revenues but also may
reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. A
substantial or extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may reduce our
earnings, cash flow and working capital. The leases in which the Company has a
working interest allow the Company to produce only to a depth of 1000
feet.
Drilling
for and producing oil and natural gas are high risk activities with many
uncertainties that could substantially increase our costs and reduce our
profitability.
Oil and
natural gas exploration is subject to numerous risks beyond our control;
including the risk that drilling will not result in any commercially viable oil
or natural gas reserves. Failure to successfully discover oil or natural gas
resources in properties in which we have oil and gas leases may materially
adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
The total
cost of drilling, completing and operating wells will be uncertain before
drilling commences. Overruns in budgeted expenditures are common risks that can
make a particular project uneconomical. Further, many factors may curtail, delay
or cancel drilling, including the following:
o
|
delays
imposed by or resulting from compliance with regulatory
requirements;
|
o
|
pressure
or irregularities in geological
formations;
|
o
|
shortages
of or delays in obtaining equipment and qualified
personnel;
|
13
o
|
equipment
failures or accidents;
|
o
|
adverse
weather conditions;
|
o
|
reductions
in oil and natural gas prices;
|
o
|
land
title problems; and
|
o
|
limitations
in the market for oil and natural
gas.
|
Oil
and Gas Operations Involve Many Physical Hazards
Natural
hazards, such as excessive underground pressures, may cause costly and dangerous
blowouts or make further operations on a particular well financially or
physically impractical. Similarly, the testing and completion of oil and gas
wells involves a high degree of risk arising from operational failures, such as
blowouts, fires, pollution, collapsed casing, loss of equipment and numerous
other mechanical and technical problems. Any of these hazards may result in
substantial losses to us or liabilities to third parties. These could include
claims for bodily injuries, reservoir damage, loss of reserves, environmental
damage and other damages to people or property. Any successful claim against us
would probably require us to spend large amounts on legal fees and any
successful claim may make us liable for substantial damages. The Company
currently does not carry insurance to cover any of these risks.
Our
Dependence On Outside Equipment and Service Providers May Hurt Our
Profitability
We
need to obtain logging equipment and cementing and well treatment services in
the area of our operations. Several factors, including increased competition in
the area, may limit their availability. Longer waits and higher prices for
equipment and services may reduce our profitability.
The
Oil and Gas Industry Is Highly Competitive and There Is No Assurance That We
Will Be Successful In Acquiring Any Further Leases
The oil
and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals
and companies, including major oil and gas companies, which have substantially
greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly,
there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable
properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as
access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised. There
are also other competitors that have operations in our potential areas of
interest and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our
ability to acquire additional leases.
Oil
and Gas Operations Are Subject To Comprehensive Regulation Which May Cause
Substantial Delays or Require Capital Outlays In Excess Of Those Anticipated,
Causing An Adverse Effect On Our Company.
Oil and
gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the
protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural
resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment.
Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and
regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the
design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from
government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no
assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental
standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed
and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities.
Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require
capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect
on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other
environmental damages. To date we have not been required to spend any material
amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required
to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our
operations.
We
Have Limited Control Over The Activities On Properties That We Do Not
Operate
The
Company operates the Parks Lease in which we have a 75% Working Interest. Masada
Oil and Gas operates the properties and the wells in Contract Area #1 where we
hold an 8% Working Interest. We have limited ability to influence or control the
operation of Contract Area #1, the future development of the property or, the
amount of capital expenditures that we are required to fund this operation. Our
dependence on the operator and other working interest owners for this projects
and our limited ability to influence or control the operation and future
development of this property could have a material adverse effect on the
realization of our targeted returns or lead to unexpected future
costs.
14
We
May Incur Losses As A Result Of Title Deficiencies
We
purchase working and revenue interests in the oil and natural gas leasehold
interests upon which we will perform our exploration activities from third
parties or directly from the mineral fee owners. The existence of a material
title deficiency can render a lease worthless and can adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition. Title insurance covering mineral
leaseholds is not generally available and often we forego the expense of
retaining lawyers to examine the title to the mineral interest to be placed
under lease or already placed under lease until the drilling block is assembled
and ready to be drilled. As is customary in our industry, we rely upon the
judgment of oil and natural gas lease brokers or independent landmen who perform
field work in examining records in the appropriate governmental offices and
abstract facilities before attempting to acquire or place under lease a specific
mineral interest. Where, despite our efforts, title deficiencies exist, we risk
loss of some or all of our interest in the affected properties or possible
economic adjustment where we may have overpaid or underpaid one or more economic
interest owners.
Limited
Access to Qualified Personnel
To be
effective, the Company needs persons with the skills necessary to conduct the
proposed oil and gas business. The Company is continually trying to attract and
retain qualified personnel to conduct the proposed oil and gas business. The
Company has lacked the resources to train personnel, so it needs to find persons
with the required experience, understanding, ability and effectiveness. The
Company's financial position has made this difficult and the inability to
attract and retain appropriate personnel may have a materially adverse effect
upon the Company and its operations.
Legal
and Regulatory Risk
Laws and
regulations, including securities laws and regulations, applicable to the
Company's business and operations are extensive and complex. As a start up
business with limited personnel and funding, the Company has taken actions
without being able to fully ascertain their legal effect and potential conflict
with applicable law and regulations. The Company believes that this situation
often pertains to minimally-funded new businesses which are in a financial
position similar to that of the Company. As a result, actions taken by the
Company could subject it to regulatory review and challenge, and involve it in
legal or administrative proceedings, that could have a material adverse affect
on the Company.
Our
Board of Directors Has No Independent Directors and We Have Not Instituted
Corporate Governance Policies or Procedures
Our Board
of Directors has no director who may be considered independent. Further, we do
not have an audit committee, a nominating committee, or any other corporate
governance committee. Thus, our shareholders do not have the benefits or
protections associated with corporate governance controls and other corporate
oversight mechanisms overseen by independent directors
Risks
Related To Our Common Stock
The
limited trading volume in our common stock may depress our stock price. Our
common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board
(“BB”). The quotation of our common stock on the BB does not assure that a
meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists. We cannot
predict whether a more active market for our common stock will develop in the
future. In the absence of an active trading market, investors may have
difficulty buying and selling our common stock. Market visibility for our common
stock may be limited. A lack of visibility of our common stock may have a
depressive effect on the market price for our common stock.
The
Issuance of Shares Upon Exercise 0f Outstanding Warrants May Cause Immediate and
Substantial Dilution Of Our Existing Shareholders
The
issuance of shares upon exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution
to the interests of other shareholders. In addition, such shares would increase
the number of shares in the "public float" and could depress the market price
for our Common Stock.
15
We
Have Never Declared or Paid Cash Dividends On Our Common Stock. We Currently
Intend To Retain Future Earnings, if any, to Finance the Operation, Development
and Expansion Of Our Business
We do not
anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board
of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations,
contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other
factors that our board of directors considers relevant. Accordingly, investors
will only see a return on their investment if the value of our securities
appreciates.
Our
Common Stock Is Subject To Penny Stock Rules Which Limit the Market For Our
Common Stock
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require:
o
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
o
|
that
broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
o
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
and
|
o
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The broker
or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
o
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
o
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our Common Stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
.
Concentration
of Share Ownership Gives Insiders Control
Our
current management owns a significant amount of the common stock, giving them
influence or control in corporate transactions and other matters, and their
interests could differ from those of other stockholders. The aggregate
percentage of Company stock owned by current directors and executive officers as
well as warrants held by management is 21.5%.
Our former
President, Mark Neuhaus and/or his wife, Nicole B. Neuhaus beneficially control
approximately 19.2% of the existing common stock. In addition Mark Neuhaus
caused the Company to issue to him a convertible note in the principal amount of
$1,199,886 which bears interest at 8% per annum and is convertible into
4,285,306 shares of the Company’s common stock
16
Possibility
That No Public Market or Only a Limited Public Market Will Be Established for
the Common Stock of TX Holdings
In or
about March 2007, NASD Regulation, Inc. cleared a broker's request for an
unpriced quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board for TX Holdings'. Sales from
inception have been sporadic and have ranged from $.04 to $1.05 a share. See

EQUITY SECURITIES.
ITEM
2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The
Company has its principal leases in Putnam, Texas. The Company is currently
utilizing space of Masada Oil, a company that Bobby Fellers, a director of the
Company owns and that currently performs some of our field operations. All
research and activities as related to the oil and gas business are being
conducted from this office. The Company's headquarters are located at 12080
Virginia Blvd. Ashland, Kentucky 41102. Our telephone number is (606) 928-1131.
Management believes that these properties will be sufficient for its current and
immediately foreseeable administrative needs. The Company does not hold any
investments or interests in real estate other than the oil and gas Leases it
holds for its operational needs. The Company currently seeks additional oil and
gas leases for operational purposes, which is an essential part of operations of
any oil and gas production company.
We are an
oil and gas exploration and production company that uses the history of old
fields, geophysical exploration and development techniques to identify oil and
gas wells that are now considered to be economical feasible based on the current
and predicted future price of oil and gas. It is the Company's current plan to
re-enter old wells in a confined area and then utilize water flood techniques to
produce the wells. Water flood techniques work well on shallow wells to push the
oil to the producing wells to facilitate recovery. The two leases in which the
company currently owns a working interest allow the Company to produce to a
depth of 1,000 feet from the surface. It is the Company's intention to initially
place these leases into production in the shallow development to produce cash
flow for the Company. Once these wells are in production the Company will then
consider the opportunity for deeper drilling.
We are
presently in the process of raising additional capital to develop the
leases referred to as the Contract Area # 1 and Parks Lease. Contract Area # 1
consists of four leases containing a total of 247 acres. The Park's Lease is a
single lease containing 320 acres. The two fields are located in the
counties of Callahan and Eastland, Texas.
Lease
and Royalty Terms
Contract
Area # 1
The
Contract Area # 1 leases include a total of 247 acres and a total of 36 wells.
The Company has an 8.5% working interest in this lease. The lease has
4 injector wells and 28 wells capable of production although production of the
wells is minimal. Total current production has averaged 3-5 bbls a day. The
Company believes it may be able to achieve higher production rates through the
development of an effective water flood program. The water flood
program involves the injection of water into the field through wells to force
the oil to the production wells and thereby increasing the production rate. TX
Holdings is currently working with the operator to develop a plan to optimize
the production. The operator is considering a water-flood method to
increase the production while aggressively planning a 50 well drilling program
for 2010.
Parks
Lease
This lease
includes 320 acres in which we have a 75% working interest. The land owners of
this lease own a 12.5% royalty interest in the production. Masada Oil and Gas
owns a 25 % working interest in the lease. The Company purchased this lease from
Masada Oil and Gas as part of the purchase of Contract Area 1. The Company’s
obligation is to pay for the refurbishment of the wells and the infrastructure
of the lease. There are currently 22 wells on this lease with 10 currently
producing wells. The current production on this lease has averaged between 2 to
3 bbls per day and, the Company anticipates raising the production to 6 to 8
bbls per day with the on-going well rework program. The lease provides that the
Company is limited to production from 1,000 feet and above.

Oil
and Gas Reserve Analyses
Currently
the leases that have been acquired have not been developed in a way that allows
our Petroleum Engineers to assign estimated net proved oil and gas reserves and
the present value of estimated cash flows from those reserves. The Company is
currently performing work on the Contract Area #1 and Parks Lease to provide the
required information of logging each well to provide the information to the
Petroleum Engineers. The Company currently has no proved reserves on the leases.
The Company is currently working to establish reserves has had some limited
production to-date.

As of
September 30, 2009 there were approximately 875 holders of record of our common
stock.
The
ability of an individual shareholder to trade his or her shares in a particular
state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of
states require that an issuer's securities be registered in their state or
appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to
trade in that state. The Company has no present plans to register its securities
in any particular state, although it may take action that will allow it to
receive appropriate exemption.
The shares
of TX Holdings' common stock are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and
Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. The Commission generally
defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than
$5.00 per share, subject to specified exceptions. Section 15(g) sets forth
requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates
the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock
unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange
meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on
The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded
from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the
issuer's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission.
As a result, trading in TX Holdings' common stock is subject to additional sales
practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other
than established customers and accredited investors, generally persons with
assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000
together with their spouse.
For
transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a
risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally,
monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the
penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny
stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to
trade and/or maintain a market in TX Holdings' common stock and may affect the
ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
19
Dividends
We have
never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently
intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our
business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.
Holders
As of
September 30, 2009 and 2008, TX Holdings has issued and outstanding 47,636,897 and
43,705,824 shares of common stock respectively.
Of the
total 47,636,897 shares
outstanding as of September 30, 2009, 25,447,222 shares were
deemed "restricted securities," as defined by the Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Act”) when issued to their registered owner and continues to have their
restricted status noted on the books of Company’s transfer agent. Certificates
representing such shares bear an appropriate restrictive legend and their sale
is subject to Rule 144 under the Act.
In
general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose
shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted shares of the
Company for at least six months, is entitled to sell, within any three-month
period, an amount of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) the average
weekly trading volume in the Company's common stock, as reported through the
automated quotation system of a registered securities association, during the
four calendar weeks preceding such sale or (ii) 1% of the shares then
outstanding. A person who is not deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Company (as
the term "affiliate" is defined in the Act), and has not been an affiliate for
the most recent three months, and who has held restricted shares for at least
two years would be entitled to sell such shares without regard to the resale
limitations of Rule 144.

Item
7 Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Introduction
The
following discussion is intended to facilitate an understanding of our business
and results of operations and includes forward-looking statements that reflect
our plans, estimates and beliefs. It should be read in conjunction with our
audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the
consolidated financial statements included herein. Our actual results could
differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking
statements.
The
Company has never earned a profit, and has incurred an accumulated deficit of
$13,306,299 as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2006, the Company
had raised $1,240,000 in equity. The Company has used these funds to purchase or
place deposits on three oil and gas fields to begin its operations as an oil and
gas exploration and production company. Revenues derived from the planned
production and sale of oil will be based on the evaluation and development of
fields. If our development plan is successful, it is estimated it will take
approximately one year to reach production levels to sufficiently capitalize the
Company on an ongoing basis. During this initial ramp up period, the Company
believes it will need to raise additional funds to fully develop its fields,
purchase equipment and meet general administrative expenses. The Company may
seek both debt and equity financing. The Company currently has in excess of
forty nine wells located on the two fields located in Texas. Each of the wells
will need to be reworked to establish production at a cost of approximately
$7,000 to $10,000 per well. Initial production from each well is estimated to be
between two to five barrels per day. Once initial production has been
established the Company intends to begin a water flood program that injects
water into the oil producing zone through injector wells. The water then forces
the oil towards the producing well and, if successful, may increase production
of each well up to an estimated four to seven barrels per day per well. If the
Company is able to produce its wells upon the re-completion the Company revenues
will exceed current operating expenses if 40 barrels of oil is produced and the
price of oil remains above $55.00 per barrel. The Company's success is dependent
on if and how quickly it can reach these levels of production. The Company plans
to use all revenues for general corporate purposes as well as, future expansion
of its current oil producing properties and the acquisition of other oil and gas
properties. There is no certainty that the Company can achieve profitable levels
of production or that it will be able to raise additional capital through any
means.

Results
of Operations
Year
Ended September 30, 2009 Compared With Year Ended September 30,
2008
Revenues from Operations-
Revenues for the year ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were
$6,904 and $9,308 respectively. On December 5, 2004, the Company began to
structure itself into an oil and gas production and exploration company. The
Company has two oil and gas leases in the counties of Eastland and Callahan,
Texas and has begun development of oil and gas. The company received its first
revenues from oil and gas operations in March, 2008. In the next fiscal year, it
is the Company’s intent to increase production by placing additional wells into
operation. Since it ceased its former business operations, the Company has
devoted its efforts to research prospective leases and business combinations and
secure financing.
Expenses from Continuing
Operations - The Company incurred operating expenses of $1,155,973 for
the fiscal year ended September 30,2009; an increase of $387,442
compared to $768,531 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The
significant increase is primarily attributed to impairment on unproved oil and
gas properties of $384,088 resulting from management's assessment of the
recoverability of capitalized costs based on projected net future cash flows.
Outside consultants expenses decreased by $33,180 to $13,795 for the year ended
September 30, 2009. The decrease in outside consulting expense was partially
offset by higher payroll compensation of $29,140. Higher stock based
compensation in 2009 resulted in an unfavorable $124,000 variance when compared
to the same period the prior year. Professional fees for the year
ended September 30, 2009 were $11,142 lower than the same period the prior year.
The lower professional fees resulted from lower marketing expense of $36,000 and
lower engineering fees $12,475 offset by higher legal fees of
$41,834.
Net Loss - For the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2009 the Company incurred a loss of $1,276,127compared to a
loss of $676,123 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, a loss increase
of $600,004. The major reason for the Company having a
higher net loss during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 can be
attributed to an impairment loss on unproved oil and gas properties as noted in
expenses for continuing operations above. In addition, the Company having
reached a settlement agreement on a legal claim raised by The Investor Relation
Group Inc during the year ended September 30, 2008 resulting in the Company
recognizing a gain of $204,000 in 2008.
Net
Operating Loss Carry forward for Tax Purposes
The
Company has tax net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately
$4,300,000, expiring in 2018 through
2029. Approximately $1,200,000 of net
operating losses was incurred prior
to December 12, 2002 at which date MA&N acquired 51%
of the Company and are consequently subject to
certain limitation described in section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The Company estimates
that, due to the limitations and expiration dates, only $424,000 of the net
operating losses incurred prior to December 12, 2002 will be available to offset
future taxable income.
There can
be no assurance that these deferred tax assets can ever be used. A deferred tax
asset can be used only if there is future taxable income, as to which there can
be no assurance in the case of the Company
Liquidity
At
September 30, 2009 the company had a cash balance of $6,588. As of September 30,
2008 the company had a cash balance of $3,558 and a receivable of
$1,281. This
is a result of work that has been completed in the oil & gas fields and the
purchase of the fields. Property and equipment was $771,752 as of September 30,
2009 compared to $1,097,783 as of September 30, 2008, a
decrease of $326,031 resulting from an impairment on unproved properties of
$384,088 offset by cost to refurbish wells totaling $58,058. The investment in
the oil and gas fields has caused the Company a liquidity crisis. The Company
has been able to borrow money from William Shrewsbury primarily to resolve the
Company's liquidity needs. The Company completed its testing required by the
Texas Railroad Commission as of December 28, 2007. This will allow
the Company to increase production on the oil wells on the Parks lease. While
the Company anticipates generating greater revenue beginning in the second
quarter of 2010 the amount of production will not be sufficient to meet all of
the Company's liquidity needs
Historically
the Company has lacked liquidity, a result of insufficient financing
alternatives available to the Company and the lack of a business strategy that
produced significant revenues. Since MA&N took a controlling interest in the
Company in December 2002, Mr. Neuhaus has claimed that he provided loans for
operating purposes to the Company in the amount of $1,199,886 for operating
purposes as of September 30, 2009. Mr. Shrewsbury has also provided the company
with a short term loan of $289,997 as well as advances in the amount of $16,050.
As of September 30, 2009, the Company has a recorded liability of $62,719 owed
to Dexter & Dexter, Attorneys at Law for attorneys’ fees and the
sum of $155,077 to Jose Fuentes as payment for service.
22
During the
2007 fiscal year Mark Neuhaus caused the Company to issue him a note for
$1,199,885 for advances he made on behalf of the Company and which the Company
disputes. This disputed obligation is set forth in a convertible promissory note
which pays interest at 8% per annum effective September 28, 2007. The conversion
price for common stock is twenty-eight cents per share. The note is for two
years and provides that it may be converted at any time during that
period.
Based on
current expectations, the Company will need to find additional sources of
financing to meet our general corporate needs as well as the large capital
requirements necessary for the production of the oil and gas in the wells we
currently operate and lease, and the acquisition of additional oil and gas
producing properties.
The
Company currently requires operating capital of approximately $30,000 per month
to meet current obligations. At this time the Company has no material
revenue and is unable to meet its current obligations. In the past
the Company has been able to raise capital from its shareholders/officers
through stock-based compensation and advances. The Company will
require the officers of the Company to continue to receive stock-based
compensation and the Company will need to borrow or raise sufficient equity
capitalization to meet its current obligations. In addition the
Company will need to raise approximately $200,000 in working capital to complete
the refurbishment and development of the leases it currently owns. If
the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital to refurbish and develop its
fields, it will need to find working interest partners to assist in the
development of its oil and gas leases. The Company’s primary
challenge is to generate higher revenue from its oil and gas
leases.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Stockholders and Directors of TX Holdings, Inc.:
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of TX Holdings, Inc., a corporation in
the development stage, as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years
then ended and for the period from inception of the development stage, October
1, 2004, to September 30, 2009. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based upon our audits
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of TX Holdings, Inc. as of September
30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended, and for the period from inception of the development stage,
October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
We were
not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of TX
Holdings, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30,
2009 and 2008, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements and
discussed in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses from
operations since inception and is dependent on outside sources of financing for
continuation of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with regard
to this matter are also discussed in Note 1. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
HISTORICAL
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
TX
Holdings, Inc. (formerly R Wireless, Inc. and HOM Corporation) (the "Company"),
incorporated May 4, 2000 in the State of Georgia, is an oil and gas exploration
and production company.
CURRENT
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Management
seeks to acquire producing oil and gas properties in and around Texas. The Company is
also pursuing acquisitions in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wyoming. The
acquisition of these properties will define the operational holdings of the
Company. Management has defined a number of criteria for acquisition which
include:
·
|
Wells
should be currently producing
|
·
|
Production
should be broadly distributed across
lease
|
·
|
Lease
should show a 24 month payback (or
better)
|
·
|
Wells
should show upside potential (proved undeveloped reserves of approximately
20%)
|
These
criteria were developed in an effort to mitigate risk for TX Holdings, Inc. and
its investors.
Management
raised $1,240,000 in a Private Placement offering during the months of July
through September 2006 to finance these acquisitions. The funds raised in 2006
were used to purchase an interest in three oil and gas fields located in Texas.
Development of the fields began on November 1, 2006. The Company experienced
substantial costs for engineering and other professional services during 2005,
2006 and 2007 in making the transition to an oil and gas exploration and
production company. During 2007 Mark Neuhaus caused the Company to issue to him
a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,199,886. Mr. Neuhaus claimed
that he advanced funds in that amount on behalf of the Company for operations of
the Company. The Company plans to continue to use a combination of
debt, and equity financing to fund operations. Currently, management cannot
provide any assurance regarding the successful development of acquired oil and
gas fields, the completion of additional acquisitions or the continued ability
to raise funds, however it is using its best efforts to complete field work on
the fields acquired, acquire additional fields and finance the
operations.
DEVELOPMENT
STAGE COMPANY
The
Company ceased its former operations as of September 30, 2004. During the first
quarter for 2005 beginning on October 1, 2004, the Company commenced researching
of different alternatives for the future development of the Company. In December
2004, as a result of the Company’s research, the Company announced that it would
pursue operations in the oil and gas industry. October 1, 2004 was the beginning
day for the first quarter of the determination to pursue operations in the oil
and gas industry. Therefore October 1, 2004 was identified as the beginning of
the developmental stage.
GOING
CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
Since it
ceased its former business operations, the Company has devoted its efforts to
research, product development, and securing financing and has not earned
significant revenue from its planned principal operations. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 Development Stage Entities
(formerly) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7,
Accounting and Reporting by
Development-Stage Enterprises.
The
Company, with its prior subsidiaries, has suffered recurring losses while
devoting substantially all of its efforts to raising capital and identifying and
pursuing businesses opportunities. Management currently believes its best
opportunities are in the oil and gas business. The Company's total liabilities
exceed its total assets and the Company's liquidity is substantially dependent
on raising capital.

GOING
CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS, continued
These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuing operations,
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon
its ability to raise sufficient capital to implement a successful business plan
and to generate profits sufficient to become financially viable. The
accompanying financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the
recoverability of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and
assumptions include recoverability of long-lived and deferred tax assets,
measurement of stock-based compensation, and the asset retirement obligation on
oil and gas properties.. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the
period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS
The
Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The
estimate is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of customer
accounts and includes consideration for credit worthiness and financial
condition of those customers. The Company reviews historical experience with
customers, the general economic environment and the aging of receivables to
determine the adequacy of the allowance. The Company records an allowance to
reduce receivables to the amount that can be reasonably expected to be
collectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,729 and $0 as of
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
The
Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas
producing activities. Under this method, acquisition costs for proved and
unproved properties are capitalized when incurred. Exploration costs, including
geological and geophysical costs, the costs of carrying and retaining unproved
properties and exploratory dry hole drilling costs, are expensed. Development
costs, including the costs to drill and equip development wells, and successful
exploratory drilling costs to locate proved reserves are capitalized.
Exploratory drilling costs are capitalized when incurred pending the
determination of whether a well has found proved reserves. A determination of
whether a well has found proved reserves is made shortly after drilling is
completed. The determination is based on a process that relies on
interpretations of available geologic, geophysic, and engineering data. If a
well is determined to be successful, the capitalized drilling costs will be
reclassified as part of the cost of the well. If a well is determined to be
unsuccessful, the capitalized drilling costs will be charged to expense in the
period the determination is made. If an exploratory well requires a major
capital expenditure before production can begin, the cost of drilling the
exploratory well will continue to be carried as an asset pending determination
of whether proved reserves have been found only as long as: i) the well has
found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing
well if the required capital expenditure is made and ii) drilling of the
additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned for the near future.
If drilling in the area is not under way or firmly planned, or if the well has
not found a

commercially
producible quantity of reserves, the exploratory well is assumed to be impaired,
and its costs are charged to expense.
In the
absence of a determination as to whether the reserves that have been found can
be classified as proved, the costs of drilling such an exploratory well is not
carried as an asset for more than one year following completion of drilling. If,
after that year has passed, a determination that proved reserves exist cannot be
made, the well is assumed to be impaired, and its costs are charged to expense.
Its costs can, however, continue to be capitalized if sufficient quantities of
reserves are discovered in the well to justify its completion as a producing
well and sufficient progress is made in assessing the reserves and the well's
economic and operating feasibility.
The
impairment of unamortized capital costs is measured at a lease level and is
reduced to fair value if it is determined that the sum of expected future net
cash flows is less than the net book value. TX Holdings determines if impairment
has occurred through either adverse changes or as a result of the annual review
of all fields.
Development
costs of proved oil and gas properties, including estimated dismantlement,
restoration and abandonment costs and acquisition costs, are depreciated and
depleted on a field basis by the units-of-production method using proved
developed and proved reserves, respectively. The costs of unproved oil and gas
properties are generally combined and impaired over a period that is based on
the average holding period for such properties and the Company's experience of
successful drilling.
Other
property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and betterments are
capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not materially improve or
extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. Costs
relating to the initial design and implementation of the Internet web page have
been capitalized while the costs of web page maintenance are expensed as
incurred. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the
straight-line method. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets
used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might
be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.
ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
The
Company follows ASC Topic 410,” Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”,
which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable
estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs will
be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The
carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an asset
retirement cost is included in unproved oil and gas property in the accompanying
balance sheets. The future cash outflows for oil and gas property associated
with settling the asset retirement obligations is accrued in the balance sheets,
and is excluded from ceiling test calculations. The Company’s asset retirement
obligation consists of costs related to the plugging of wells and removal of
facilities and equipment on its oil and gas properties.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
Currently
the Company has limited revenue from oil and gas operations. If and
when the Company begins to receive higher revenue from oil and gas operations it
will be recognized upon the delivery of the oil or gas to the purchaser of the
oil or gas.

INCOME
TAXES
Income
taxes are estimated for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
related primarily to differences between the financial reporting basis and
income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
represent future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be
taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or
settled.
Deferred
taxes may also be recognized for operating losses that are available to offset
future taxable income. Deferred taxes are adjusted for changes in tax laws and
tax rates when those changes are enacted.
In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers the reversal of any deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
The
Company includes fair value information in the notes to the financial statements
when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book
value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is
made, which is the case for financial instruments outstanding as of September
30, 2009 and 2008. The Company assumes the book value of those financial
instruments that are classified as current approximates fair value because of
the short maturity of these instruments. For non-current financial instruments,
the Company uses quoted market prices or, to the extent that there are no quoted
market prices, market prices for similar instruments.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to
conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect
on reported net loss or accumulated deficit.
BASIC
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss
per share is computed based on current accounting guidance requiring companies
to report both basic net loss per common share, which is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and
diluted net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average dilutive potential
common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. However, for all
periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per
share as the inclusion of weighted average shares of common stock issuable upon
the exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible
preferred stock would be anti-dilutive.

RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On
December 31, 2008, the SEC published the final rules and interpretations
updating its oil and gas reporting requirements. Many of the revisions are
updates to definitions in the existing oil and gas rules to make them consistent
with the petroleum recourse management system, which is a widely accepted
standard for the management of petroleum resources that was developed by several
industry organizations. Key revisions include changes to the pricing used to
estimate reserves utilizing a 12-month average price rather than a single day
spot price which eliminates the ability to utilize subsequent prices to the end
of a reporting period when the full cost ceiling was exceeded and subsequent
pricing exceeds pricing at the end of a reporting period, the ability to include
nontraditional resources in reserves, the use of new technology for determining
reserves, and permitting disclosure of probable and possible reserves. The SEC
will require companies to comply with the amended disclosure requirements for
registration statements filed after January 1, 2010, and for annual reports on
Form 10-K for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2009. Early adoption
is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the
adoption will have on the Company’s disclosures, operating results, financial
position and cash flows.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
168, “The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM, (“Codification” or “ASC”) became the
source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for
SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification superseded
all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification
became non-authoritative.
Following
SFAS 168, the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements,
FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will
issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The FASB will not consider ASUs as
authoritative in their own right; rather, these updates will serve only to
update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and
provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. SFAS No.
168 is incorporated in ASC Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The Company adopted SFAS No. 168 for the fiscal year-ended
September 30, 2009, and the Company will provide reference to both the
Codification topic reference and the previously authoritative references related
to Codification topics and subtopics, as appropriate.

ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, continued
In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events (formerly
SFAS No. 165, Subsequent
Events) which establishes general standards for the evaluation,
recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the
balance sheet date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on
the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The
standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which
management has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a
material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurments and
Disclosures (formerly SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements)
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. ASC Topic 820 does not require any new fair value
measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a
fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This
statement was effective for and adopted by the Company beginning the first
quarter of fiscal 2008. Its adoption had no significant impact on our financial
statements.
In June
2006, the FASB issued accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes which
is included in ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes (formerly
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An
Interpretation of
FASB
Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s
financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109. ASC Topic 740
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise’s financial statements ASC Topic 740 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement classification, accounting for interest and
penalties and accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of
the accounting guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. This statement was effective for and adopted
by the Company beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Its adoption had no
significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations.
Effective
October 1, 2008, the Company adopted certain aspects of ASC Topic 825. Financial Instruments
(formerly SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets & Financial
Liabilities – including an amendment of SFAS No. 115.”).The accounting guidance
created a fair value option under which an entity may irrevocably elect fair
value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial
assets and liabilities on a contract by contract basis, with changes in fair
values recognized in earnings as these changes occur. The adoption of ASC Topic
825 has no significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (
formerly SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations,”) ASC Topic 805 changes how a
reporting enterprise will account for the acquisition of a business. ASC 805
will apply prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or
after November 1, 2009 The adoption of ASC Topic 805 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations, however future acquisitions would be accounted for under the
guidance.

Mr. Neuhaus and his wife which included provisions cancelling the indebtedness
represented by the note contingent on the closing of a third party transaction
within 90 days of November 11, 2008. The Company was not successful in
finalizing the transaction with the third party within the stipulated period
resulting in the cancellation of the settlement agreement between the Company
and Mark Neuhaus and his wife.
NOTE
4 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
In the
period in which an asset retirement obligation is incurred or becomes reasonably
estimable, the Company recognizes the fair value of the liability if there is a
legal obligation to dismantle the asset and reclaim or remediate the property at
the end of its useful life. The Company estimates the timing of the asset
retirement based on an economic life determine by reference to similar
properties and/or reserve reports. The liability amounts are based on future
retirement cost estimates and incorporate many assumptions such as expected
economic recoveries of oil and gas, time to abandonment, future inflation rates
and the adjusted risk-free rate of interest. When the liability is initially
recorded, the Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the related property
balances. This initial cost is depreciated or depleted over the useful life of
the asset.
The
Company has identified potential retirement obligations related to the Parks
Lease and Contract Area #1 Lease. These retirement obligations are determined
based on estimated costs to comply with abandonment regulations established by
the Texas Railroad Commission and the State of Texas. Management has estimated
the cost in today’s dollars, to comply with these regulations. These estimates
have been projected out to the anticipated retirement date 10 years in the
future. The anticipated future cost of remediation efforts is $186,650. The
anticipated future cost of remediation efforts were discounted back at an
assumed interest rate of 10 percent, to arrive at a net present value of the
obligation. The asset retirement obligation is $86,455 at September 30, 2009 and
2008. The Company has not recorded accretion on the asset retirement obligation
due to minimal revenues.

8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
November 17, 2009 the Company filed a legal claim in the Miami Circuit Court
against several defendants for alleged services and reimbursed expenses paid by
the Company. The claim stipulates that the defendants did not perform any
services on TX Holdings behalf which would have entitled them to receive
compensation or reimbursement of expenses. Management believes that this matter
can be resolved and will have no material effect on the Company’s
operations.
Management
has evaluated subsequent events through January 8, 2010, the date the financial
statements were issued.
NOTE
9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As
described in Note 3, Mark Neuhaus caused the Company to issue a convertible
promissory note in the amount of $1,199,886 bearing interest at 8% per year and
due and payable within two years. The conversion price is $0.28 per common share
which will automatically convert on the two-year anniversary of the note if not
paid in full by the Company. Mr. Neuhaus claims that this convertible
promissory note is the result of the consolidation of stockholder advances made
by him and entities he controls.
Included
in the financial statements as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 are
advances from stockholder/officer of $49,247 and $284,845, respectively
.
In June
2007 the Company entered into
a strategic alliance agreement with
Hewitt Energy Group, LLC to identify reserves and
prospects, and to establish production from the
projects mutually owned or contemplated to be jointly owned by the
entities in states of Texas, Kansas
and Oklahoma. Hewitt Energy Group, LLC is controlled by a
former member of the Company's board of directors. During 2007 the Company's
former Chief Executive Officer, who is a major stockholder, claimed
that he transferred stock on behalf of the Company with a market value of
$352,560 to Hewitt Energy Group, LLC to acquire an interest in the Perth field
in Kansas. There is currently a dispute as to the extent of the Company’s
performance under the leases and agreement with Hewitt Energy.

9A Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated
the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the
fiscal period ending September 30, 2009 covered by this Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required
under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. This
conclusion is based upon the number and magnitude of the year end adjusting
entries.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act) of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management,
under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of
September 30, 2009, under the criteria set forth in the in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework. The determination was made partially due to the
small size of the company and a lack of segregation of duties. The Company
continues to implement control processes to mitigate the control weaknesses that
are present in a small Company with very few employees.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide
only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change
in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the
quarter ended September 30, 2009, that materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

and Gas, Inc. a company beneficially owned a 100% by Bobby S. Fellers, two
fields for the amount of $221,426. Mr. Fellers is a Member of the Board of
Directors of the Company. Mr. Fellers through his company has
retained a 40% working interest in the Contract Area #1 field and a 25% working
interest in the Park's Lease. The Management believes that the agreements were
entered at arms length and upon terms that would be common for the industry and
location of the fields.

28, 2006 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Bobby S.
Fellers, a Member of the Company's Board of Directors, to provide technical
support and advice in organizing the Company's oil and gas operations. Mr.

were canceled and exchanged with 10,715,789 shares of common
stock. The cancellation of the preferred stock released Mr. Neuhaus'
total voting control of the Company. Mr. Neuhaus still has substantial control
of the Company via his common stock ownership.

Shrewsbury, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, for the amount of $289,997, the note
bears a 10% interest and is payable on demand. Mr. Shrewsbury has also provided
the Company with a cash advance of $16,050 which was used for operating
expenses.
On
November 11, 2008 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mark
Neuhaus and Nicole Neuhaus. Mark Neuhaus is the former Chief Executive Officer
and a former director of the Company. The agreement was subject to the Company
finalizing a transaction with a third party involving certain oil and gas
properties within 90 days of November 11, 2008 ("Third Party Closing"). If the
third party transaction closes, the agreement provided for mutual general
releases between the Company, Mark Neuhaus and Nicole Neuhaus. In connection
with the agreement, seven million shares of the common stock of the Company
previously issued to Mark Neuhaus were delivered to the Company to be held
pending the Third Party Closing. If the Third Party Closing occured within the
90 day period, (1) four million five hundred thousand of the deposited shares
were to be cancelled and returned to authorized but unissued shares of the
Company,(2) two million five hundred thousand of the deposited shares would be
delivered to Nicole Neuhaus and (3) certain alleged claims of Mark Neuhaus
against the Company for compensation and reimbursement for advances in the
aggregate amount of $178,862 and a purported indebtedness of the Company to Mark
Neuhaus in the amount of $1,303.876,including interest
accrued through October 31, 2008 and represented by a convertible
note dated as of September 28, 2007 would be cancelled. If the Third Party
Closing did not occured within 90 days of November 11, 2008 the settlement
agreement would be void and of no force and effect and the deposited shares will
be returned.. The Company was not successful in finalizing the transaction with
the third party within the stipulated period resulting in the cancellation of
the settlement agreement between the Company and Mark Neuhaus and Nicole
Neuhaus
Controlling

time that Mark S. Neuhaus, was a director and Chief Executive Officer of TX

during that time he caused the company to issue to him a $1,303,876 convertible
note which bears interest at 8% per annum, dated as of September 28, 2007. Mark

Glossary
of Terms
We are
engaged in the business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas. Oil
and gas exploration is a specialized industry. Many of the terms used to
describe our business are unique to the oil and gas industry. The following
glossary clarifies certain of these terms that may be encountered while reading
this report:
"Bbl"
means one stock tank barrel, of 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used herein in
reference to crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids..
"Bcf"
means one billion cubic feet, used in this annual report in reference to gaseous
hydrocarbons.
"BcfE"
means one billion cubic feet of gas equivalent, determined using the ratio of
six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil, condensate or gas
liquids.
"Farmout"
involves an entity's assignment of all or a part of its interest in or lease of
a property in exchange for consideration such as a royalty.
"Gross"
oil or gas well or "gross" acre is a well or acre in which we have a working
interest.
"MBbl"
means one thousand barrels, used in this annual report to refer to crude oil or
other liquid hydrocarbons.
"Mcf"
means one thousand cubic feet, used in this annual report to refer to gaseous
hydrocarbons.
"McfE"
means one thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent, determined using the ratio of
six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil, condensate or gas
liquids.
"MMcf"
means one million cubic feet, used in this annual report to refer to gaseous
hydrocarbons.
"Net" oil
and gas wells or "net" acres are determined by multiplying gross wells or
acreage by our working interest therein. Unless otherwise specified, all
references to wells and acres are gross.
"Oil and
gas lease" or "Lease" means an agreement between a mineral owner, the lessor,
and a lessee which conveys the right to the lessee to explore for and produce
oil and gas from the leased lands. Oil and gas leases usually have a primary
term during which the lessee must establish production of oil and or gas. If
production is established within the primary term, the term of the lease
generally continues in effect so long as production occurs on the lease. Leases
generally provide for a royalty to be paid to the lessor from the gross proceeds
from the sale of production.

"Prospect"
means a location where both geological and economical conditions favor drilling
a well.
"Proved
oil and gas reserves" are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and
natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with
reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of
the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in
existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions. Reservoirs are considered proved if
economic recovery by production is supported by either actual production or
conclusive formation test. The area of a reservoir considered proved includes
(A) that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water
contacts, if any, and (B) the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled,
but which can reasonably be judged as economically productive on the basis of
available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on
fluid contacts the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls
the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
"Proved
developed oil and gas reserves" are those proved reserves that can be expected
to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating
methods. Additional oil and gas reserves expected to be obtained through the
application of fluid injection or other improved secondary or tertiary recovery
techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary
recovery are included as "proved developed reserves" only after testing by a
pilot project or after the operation of an installed recovery program has
confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be
achieved.
"Proved
undeveloped oil and gas reserves" are those proved reserves that are expected to
be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required. Reserves on undrilled acreage are
limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units that are reasonably
certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units
are claimed only where it can be demonstrated with reasonable certainty that
there is continuity of production from the existing productive formation.
Estimates for proved undeveloped reserves attributable to any acreage do not
include production for which an application of fluid injection or other improved
recovery technique is required or contemplated, unless such techniques have been
proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same
reservoir.
"Royalty
interest" is a right to oil, gas, or other minerals that are not burdened by the
costs to develop or operate the related property.
"Working
interest" is an interest in an oil and gas property that is burdened with the
costs of development and operation of the property.
