ITEM
1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We
are an
independent natural gas and oil exploration and production company concentrating
on growing reserves and production through the exploration, development,
exploitation and acquisition of natural gas and oil reserves in North America.
We have initially concentrated on the acquisition, exploitation and development
of producing and non-producing shale gas and oil properties in the Barnett
Shale
in Texas. Our oil and gas business was commenced in August 2005. We specialize
in acquiring oil and gas interests involved in extracting hydrocarbons from
known gas-shale source rocks. We intend to focus on: a) shales that are
laterally extensive; b) basins where the target zones have been previously
penetrated; and c) shales that have been successfully fraced and commercially
produced.
Our
Executive Offices
Our
principal executive and administrative office facility is located at 1667 K
Street, N.W., Suite 1230, Washington, D.C. 20006 and our telephone number is
(202) 223-4401 and we have an operations office at Ashford VI, 1155 Dairy
Ashford South, Fourth Floor, Houston, TX 77079.
Business
Strategy
Our
goal
is to expand and develop our exploration and production business and our
reserves by initially emphasizing the identification and development of shale
gas opportunities in the Barnett Shale and the Fayetteville Shale. We believe
that both the Mississippian developments of the Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth
Basin and the Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin provides the
greatest near term economic value to us.
Because
the experience of our current management team and project partners, we have
the
potential to execute quickly in identifying opportunities and capturing a land
position. Some exploration and production companies take up to one year to
obtain rights to the land and an additional year to evaluate the land for the
first well. We believe we can shorten the total time for obtaining rights and
evaluation to one year and then commence development in the second
year.
Our
Projects
Currently
our growth depends heavily on the performance of our operating partners, to
execute drilling and completion programs in an environment where shortages
of
equipment and talent are resulting in the escalation of costs. We have no
current capability to act as an operator at this time as additional legal,
land,
drilling, and completion personnel will also be required for us to expand our
operations and to act as an operator. Our senior management team will have
to
hire additional expertise in operations and finance to make a successful
transition into a full operating company. However, in the future we will seek
to
operate wells in which we own an interest as we believe that by controlling
operations, we will be able to more effectively manage the cost and timing
of
exploration and development of our properties, including the drilling and
fracture stimulation methods used.
Projects
with Kerogen Resources
We
are
currently participating in three projects with Kerogen Resources, Inc., a small,
privately held, recently formed exploration and production company, located
in
Houston, Texas. These are as follows:
Reichmann
Petroleum Corporation Project
The
first
project is a joint venture with Kerogen Resources, Crosby Minerals and Reichmann
Petroleum Corporation to explore, acquire and develop properties located in
the
Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth Basin of North Texas. In October 2005 we
acquired, through Kerogen Resources, a 12.5% working interest in 6,190 net
acres
of leasehold interests in Parker, Tarrant, Denton, and Johnson Counties, Texas.
Subsequent
to the initial acquisition, we purchased a 25% working interest in 443 net
acres
of leasehold interests from Reichmann Petroleum in Johnson County, Texas.
Kerogen Resources provides the technical guidance for the project and in
exchange will receive 12.5% of our working interest in each well drilled. As
of
June
15,
2006, we have paid Kerogen a total $6,708,758, of which
$3,529,098 was for the 12.5% working interest in the initial 6,190
acres,
prepayment of drilling costs on 12
wells and
for the 25% working interest in the leasehold interest in Johnson County and
$1,655,401 was for operating costs (ie, drilling and completion costs) of the
JV
since the original payment. Kerogen
then paid such amounts to Reichmann Petroleum Corporation as reimbursement
of
leasehold costs, drilling and operating expenses.
Currently, our net acreage position subject to the Reichmann agreement is 773.94
net acres. As of June 15, 2006, we owed $1,910,667 as our chare of the
development and operation costs for the wells in this joint
venture.
As
of June
15, 2006, Calibre has participated in 22 gross wells. Four wells are currently
producing, nine wells have been drilled, completed and fraced and are waiting
to
be hooked up to a pipeline, four wells have been drilled, completed and are
cleaning up after being frac prior to being hooked up to a gas gathering line,
three wells have been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting to
be
fraced, and two wells are currently drilling. “Frac” or Fracture stimulation is
a method of stimulating production by opening new flow channels in the rock
surrounding a production well by pumping proppant, a granular substance that
is
carried into the formation by the fracturing fluid and helps keep the cracks
open after a fracture treatment, and fluid into the well at high pressure and
volume.
South
Ft. Worth Basin Project
In
October
2005, we entered into a Participation Agreement for the exploration and
development of wells in a portion of the South Ft. Worth Basin with Kerogen
Resources, Wynn Crosby Energy, Inc. (“Crosby”), and Triangle USA (“Triangle”).
The agreement covers a five county area of approximately 1.5 million acres
and
consists of all lands in these counties outside areas of mutual interest covered
by the Reichmann project. Kerogen Resources is expected to generate shale gas
prospects in the area subject to the agreement. Calibre is obligated to pay
Kerogen Resources $597,600 for its generation of shale gas prospects within
the
five county area. As of June 15, 2006 Calibre has paid $500,000 of this amount
and the balance is due upon the delivery of Kerogen Resources’ technical report.
The
Participation Agreement is for a two year term. Kerogen Resources, as the
technical partner in charge of generating the prospect areas, pays 10% of the
costs in exchange for a 16% working interest. Each of Triangle and us will
pay
30% of costs for a 27% working interest and Crosby, as operator, will pay 30%
of
costs for a 30% working interest. Crosby intends to have three drilling rigs
dedicated to this project. The agreement would bind all parties to the same
area
of mutual interest. Each party is permitted to obtain oil and gas leases in
the
territory, but must offer to assign to the other parties the percentage interest
in the leases described above. Prospects are defined by agreement of the
parties. The operator of a lease may require the other parties to advance
payments for their respective percentages of the costs for leases or drilling
of
the lease.
Crosby
has
engaged 12 independent land brokers to identify leases for purchase. As of
June
15, 2006, Crosby has leased approximately 11,710.87 net leasehold acres. Our
net
leasehold position pursuant to this agreement is 3,161.93 acres. We have
advanced $1,184,154 to Kerogen for participation in these leases in the Ft,
Worth Basin of Texas. We anticipate Calibre will acquire an additional 5,000
to
7,500 net leasehold acres under the Participation Agreement in the next six
months. Additionally, Kerogen has acquired a 12 square mile 3D seismic program
over part of our joint leasehold position and we have elected to participate
for
our share of the costs of the seismic program. We anticipate that we will
acquire additional 3D seismic over our other leasehold interests in
2006.
Williston
Basin Project
On
September 20, 2005 we entered into a Participation Agreement with Kerogen
Resources covering all of the Williston Basin. Under this agreement, we are
obligated to pay Kerogen Resources the sum of $638,600 for generation of shale
gas prospects in the Williston Basin. As of June 15, 2006 Calibre has paid
$550,000 to Kerogen Resources and the balance is due upon the delivery of
Kerogen Resources’ technical report. As of June 15, 2006 no acreage has been
leased pursuant to this agreement. Kerogen Resources, as the technical partner
in charge of generating the prospect areas, will pay 70% of the costs for a
73%
working interest in the leasehold interests acquired subject to the agreement,
and we pay 30% of the costs for a 27% working interest. Each party will control
their own leases with obligations to offer any leases acquired to the rest
of
the group pro-rata. Prospects are defined based on land and range from 25,000
to
45,000 acres each. The operator on a lease may required participating parties
to
advance funds for leases or drilling.
Additional
Acreage
In
addition to the three joint venture projects with Kerogen Resources, as of
June
15, 2006, we have acquired 5,318 gross leasehold acres and 3,417 net acres
in
the Barnett Shale outside of the areas covered by the Reichmann Petroleum JV,
the South Ft. Worth Basin project and the Williston Basin project. We anticipate
that we will commence development activities on these leases in the third
quarter of 2006. Additionally, as of June 15, 2006, we have acquired 2,636
gross
leasehold acres and 1,771 net leasehold acres in the Fayetteville Shale
development in the Arkoma Basin in Arkansas.
“Gross
leasehold acres” means the total number of acres in which we have a working
interest. “Net leasehold acres” means the sum of the fractional working
interests we have in the gross leasehold interests.
Employees
As
of
March 31, 2006 we employed five people, none of which are subject to a
collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees
to
be good.
Oil
and Gas Properties
Reserves.
We have
4 producing wells in which we have an interest and have recently commenced
production. Our working interests in each of these wells are
10.9375%.
The
following table presents summary data with respect to our estimated net proved
oil and natural gas reserves as of the dates indicated. Our reserve estimates
as
of December 31, 2005 are based primarily on reserve reports prepared by Ryder
Scott Company, L.P., our independent reserve engineers In preparing its reports,
Ryder Scott Company, L.P. evaluated properties representing approximately 100%
of our PV-10 as of December 31, 2005. All calculations of estimated net proved
reserves have been made in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

Our
oil
and gas properties consist primarily of working interests in oil and gas wells
and our ownership of interests in leasehold acreage, both developed and
undeveloped. The table above summarizes our gross and net developed and
undeveloped oil and natural gas acreage under lease or option as of June 1,
2006. A developed acre is considered to be an acre spaced or assignable to
productive wells. A gross acre is an acre in which a working interest is owned.
A net acre is the result that is obtained when our fractional ownership working
interest is multiplied by gross acres. The number of net acres is the sum of
the
factional working interests owned in gross acres expressed as whole numbers
and
fractions thereof. Undeveloped acreage is considered to be those lease acres
on
which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit
the
production of commercial quantities of oil or natural gas, regardless of whether
that acreage contains proved reserves, but does not include undrilled acreage
held by production under the terms of a lease. As is customary in the oil and
gas industry, we can generally retain our interest in undeveloped acreage by
drilling activity that establishes commercial production sufficient to maintain
the leases or by paying delay rentals during the remaining primary term of
leases. The oil and natural gas leases in which we have an interest are for
varying primary terms, and if production under a lease continues from our
developed lease acreage beyond the primary term, we are entitled to hold the
lease for as long as oil or natural gas is produced.
Government
Regulation
Regulation
of transportation of oil
Sales
of
crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids are not currently regulated and
are made at negotiated prices. Nevertheless, Congress could reenact price
controls in the future.
Our
sales
of crude oil are affected by the availability, terms and cost of transportation.
The transportation of oil in common carrier pipelines is also subject to rate
regulation. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or the FERC, regulates
interstate oil pipeline transportation rates under the Interstate Commerce
Act.
In general, interstate oil pipeline rates must be cost-based, although
settlement rates agreed to by all shippers are permitted and market-based rates
may be permitted in certain circumstances. Effective January 1, 1995, the FERC
implemented regulations establishing an indexing system (based on inflation)
for
transportation rates for oil that allowed for an increase or decrease in the
cost of transporting oil to the purchaser. A review of these regulations by
the
FERC in 2000 was successfully challenged on appeal by an association of oil
pipelines. On remand, the FERC in February 2003 increased the index slightly,
effective July 2001. Intrastate oil pipeline transportation rates are subject
to
regulation by state regulatory commissions. The basis for intrastate oil
pipeline regulation, and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given
to intrastate oil pipeline rates, varies from state to state. Insofar as
effective interstate and intrastate rates are equally applicable to all
comparable shippers, we believe that the regulation of oil transportation rates
will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from
those of our competitors.
Further,
interstate and intrastate common carrier oil pipelines must provide service
on a
non-discriminatory basis. Under this open access standard, common carriers
must
offer service to all similarly situated shippers requesting service on the
same
terms and under the same rates. When oil pipelines operate at full capacity,
access is governed by prorationing provisions set forth in the pipelines’
published tariffs. Accordingly, we believe that access to oil pipeline
transportation services generally will be available to us to the same extent
as
to our competitors.
Regulation
of transportation and sale of natural gas
Historically,
the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce
have been regulated pursuant to the Natural Gas Act of 1938, the Natural Gas
Policy Act of 1978 and regulations issued under those Acts by the FERC. In
the
past, the federal government has regulated the prices at which natural gas
could
be sold. While sales by producers of natural gas can currently be made at
uncontrolled market prices, Congress could reenact price controls in the future.
Deregulation of wellhead natural gas sales began with the enactment of the
Natural Gas Policy Act. In 1989, Congress enacted the Natural Gas Wellhead
Decontrol Act. The Decontrol Act removed all Natural Gas Act and Natural Gas
Policy Act price and non-price controls affecting wellhead sales of natural
gas
effective January 1, 1993.
FERC
regulates interstate natural gas transportation rates and service conditions,
which affects the marketing of natural gas that we produce, as well as the
revenues we receive for sales of our natural gas. Since 1985, the FERC has
endeavored to make natural gas transportation more accessible to natural gas
buyers and sellers on an open and non-discriminatory basis. The FERC has stated
that open access policies are necessary to improve the competitive structure
of
the interstate natural gas pipeline industry and to create a regulatory
framework that will put natural gas sellers into more direct contractual
relations with natural gas buyers by, among other things, unbundling the sale
of
natural gas from the sale of transportation and storage services. Beginning
in
1992, the FERC issued Order No. 636 and a series of related orders to implement
its open access policies. As a result of the Order No. 636 program, the
marketing and pricing of natural gas have been significantly altered. The
interstate pipelines’ traditional role as wholesalers of natural gas has been
eliminated and replaced by a structure under which pipelines provide
transportation and storage service on an open access basis to others who buy
and
sell natural gas. Although the FERC’ s orders do not directly regulate natural
gas producers, they are intended to foster increased competition within all
phases of the natural gas industry.
In
2000,
the FERC issued Order No. 637 and subsequent orders, which imposed a number
of
additional reforms designed to enhance competition in natural gas markets.
Among
other things, Order No. 637 effected changes in FERC regulations relating to
scheduling procedures, capacity segmentation, penalties, rights of first refusal
and information reporting. Most pipelines’ tariff filings to implement the
requirements of Order No. 637 have been accepted by the FERC and placed into
effect.
Gathering
service, which occurs upstream of jurisdictional transmission services, is
regulated by the states on shore and in state waters. Although its policy is
still in flux, FERC has reclassified certain jurisdictional transmission
facilities as non-jurisdictional gathering facilities, which may increase our
costs of getting gas to point of sale locations.
Intrastate
natural gas transportation is also subject to regulation by state regulatory
agencies. The basis for intrastate regulation of natural gas transportation
and
the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate natural
gas
pipeline rates and services varies from state to state. Insofar as such
regulation within a particular state will generally affect all intrastate
natural gas shippers within the state on a comparable basis, we believe that
the
regulation of similarly situated intrastate natural gas transportation in any
states in which we operate and ship natural gas on an intrastate basis will
not
affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those
of
our competitors. Like the regulation of interstate transportation rates, the
regulation of intrastate transportation rates affects the marketing of natural
gas that we produce, as well as the revenues we receive for sales of our natural
gas.
Regulation
of production
The
production of oil and natural gas is subject to regulation under a wide range
of
local, state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Federal,
state
and local statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations,
drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. Such regulations govern
conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of
oil
and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum allowable rates of
production from oil and natural gas wells, the regulation of well spacing,
and
plugging and abandonment of wells. The effect of these regulations is to limit
the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce from our wells and to
limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill, although
we
can apply for exceptions to such regulations or to have reductions in well
spacing. Moreover, each state generally imposes a production or severance tax
with respect to the production and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas
liquids within its jurisdiction.
The
failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial
penalties. Our competitors in the oil and natural gas industry are subject
to
the same regulatory requirements and restrictions that affect our operations.
Environmental,
health and safety regulation
General.
Our
operations are subject to stringent and complex federal, state, local and
provincial laws and regulations governing environmental protection, health
and
safety, including the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws
and regulations may, among other things:
· |
require
the acquisition of various permits before drilling
commences;
|
· |
restrict
the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that
can be
released into the environment in connection with oil and natural
gas
drilling, production and transportation
activities;
|
· |
limit
or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness,
wetlands and other protected areas;
and
|
· |
require
remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing
operations, such as requirements to close pits and plug abandoned
wells.
|
These
laws
and regulations may also restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production
below the rate that would otherwise be possible. The regulatory burden on the
oil and gas industry increases the cost of doing business in the industry and
consequently affects profitability. Additionally, Congress and federal and
state
agencies frequently revise environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly waste
handling, disposal and cleanup requirements for the oil and gas industry could
have a significant impact on our operating costs.
The
following is a summary of the material existing environmental, health and
safety
laws and regulations to which our business operations are subject.
Waste
handling.
The
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and comparable state statutes,
regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and
cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the federal
Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, the individual states administer some
or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own,
more
stringent requirements. Drilling fluids, produced waters and most of the other
wastes associated with the exploration, development and production of crude
oil
or natural gas are currently regulated under RCRA’s non-hazardous waste
provisions. However, it is possible that certain oil and natural gas exploration
and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as
hazardous wastes in the future. Any such change could result in an increase
in
our costs to manage and dispose of wastes, which could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial position.
Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.
The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA,
also known as the Superfund law, imposes joint and several liability, without
regard to fault or legality of conduct, in connection with the release of a
hazardous substance into the environment. Persons potentially liable under
CERCLA include the current or former owner or operator of the site where the
release occurred and anyone who disposed or arranged for the disposal of a
hazardous substance to the site where the release occurred. Under CERCLA, such
persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning
up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment,
damages to natural resources and the costs of certain health studies. In
addition, 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.
We
own and
lease, and may in the future operate, numerous properties that have been used
for oil and natural gas exploitation and production for many years. Hazardous
substances may have been released on, at or under the properties owned, leased
or operated by us, or on, at or under other locations, including off-site
locations, where such substances have been taken for disposal. In addition,
some
of our properties have been or are operated by third parties or by previous
owners or operators whose handling, treatment and disposal of hazardous
substances were not under our control. These properties and the substances
disposed or released on, at or under them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and
analogous state laws. In certain circumstances, we could be responsible for
the
removal of previously disposed substances and wastes, remediate contaminated
property or perform remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent
future contamination. In addition, federal and state trustees can also seek
substantial compensation for damages to natural resources resulting from spills
or releases.
Water
discharges.
The
Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or the Clean Water Act, and analogous
state
laws, impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the discharge
of
pollutants, including oil and other substances generated by our operations,
into
waters of the United States or state waters. Under these laws, the discharge
of
pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited except in accordance with the
terms of a permit issued by EPA or an analogous state agency. Federal and state
regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties
for
non-compliance with discharge permits or other requirements of the Clean Water
Act and analogous state laws and regulations.
The
Safe
Drinking Water Act, or SDWA, and analogous state laws impose requirements
relating to underground injection activities. Under these laws, the EPA and
state environmental agencies have adopted regulations relating to permitting,
testing, monitoring, record keeping and reporting of injection well activities,
as well as prohibitions against the migration of injected fluids into
underground sources of drinking water.
Air
emissions.
The
Federal Clean Air Act and comparable state laws regulate emissions of various
air pollutants through air emissions permitting programs and the imposition
of
other requirements. In addition, EPA and certain states have developed and
continue to develop stringent regulations governing emissions of toxic air
pollutants at specified sources. Federal and state regulatory agencies can
impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with
air
permits or other requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act and analogous state
laws and regulations.
The
Kyoto
Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change became
effective in February 2005. Under the Protocol, participating nations are
required to implement programs to reduce emissions of certain gases, generally
referred to as greenhouse gases, that are suspected of contributing to global
warming. The United States is not currently a participant in the Protocol,
and
Congress has not acted upon recent proposed legislation directed at reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. However, there has been support in various regions
of
the country for legislation that requires reductions in greenhouse gas
emissions, and some states have already adopted legislation addressing
greenhouse gas emissions from various sources, primarily power plants. The
oil
and natural gas industry is a direct source of certain greenhouse gas emissions,
namely carbon dioxide and methane, and future restrictions on such emissions
could impact our future operations.
National
Environmental Policy Act.
Oil and
natural gas exploration and production activities on federal lands are subject
to the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA. NEPA requires federal
agencies, including the Department of Interior, to evaluate major agency actions
that have the potential to significantly impact the environment. In the course
of such evaluations, an agency will prepare an Environmental Assessment that
assesses the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of a proposed
project and, if necessary, will prepare a more detailed Environmental Impact
Statement that may be made available for public review and comment. All
exploration and production activities on federal lands require governmental
permits that are subject to the requirements of NEPA. This process has the
potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects on federal
lands.
Health,
safety and disclosure regulation.
We are
subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA) and comparable state statutes. The OSHA hazard communication standard,
the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act and similar state
statutes require that we organize and/or disclose information about hazardous
materials stored, used or produced in our operations.
We
expect
to incur capital and other expenditures related to environmental compliance.
Although we believe that our compliance with existing requirements will not
have
a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations,
we cannot assure you that the passage of more stringent laws or regulations
in
the future will not have an negative impact on our financial position or results
of operation.
RISK
FACTORS
The
following factors affect our business and the industry in which it operates.
The
risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that we currently
consider immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business. If any
of
the matters discussed in the following risk factors were to occur, our business,
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or prospects could
be
materially adversely affected.
Risks
Related to Our Business
We
have a limited operating history and limited revenues.
Our
oil
and gas business commenced in August of 2005 and, accordingly, is subject to
substantial risks inherent in the commencement of a new business enterprise.
Consequently we have limited assets and operations. To date, we have generated
limited revenue from our operations. Additionally, we have no business history
or operating history to successfully identify, develop and operate oil and
gas
leases, generate revenues, or operate profitably that investors can analyze
to
aid them in making an informed judgment as to the merits of an investment in
us.
Any investment in us should be considered a high risk investment because the
investor will be placing funds at risk in a company with unforeseen costs,
expenses, competition, and other problems to which new ventures are often
subject. Investors should not purchase our stock unless they can afford to
lose
their entire investment.
We
will need additional capital to execute our business plan, and our ability
to
obtain the necessary funding is uncertain.
We
expect
that we will require additional capital to implement our business plan
successfully. The timing and degree of any future capital requirements will
depend on many factors, including:
· |
the
accuracy of the assumptions underlying our estimates for our capital
needs
in 2006;
|
· |
the
number of prospects we identify;
|
· |
the
terms on which we can obtain rights to those prospects;
|
· |
the
cost of exploring and developing the prospects;
and
|
· |
our
success rate in developing economically successful prospects.
|
We
have no
immediate internal sources of funds, and we do not have any committed sources
of
capital. Additional financing through partnering, public or private equity
financings, lease transactions or other financing sources may not be available
on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financings could result in
significant dilution to our stockholders. If sufficient capital is not
available, we may be required to delay or reduce the scope of our exploration,
development and/or production activities which could have a material adverse
effect on our business and financial results.
Several
of our officers are also employed as officers and directors for another
company
which may lead to conflicts of interest for these officers.
Several
of
our officers, including our President and CFO, are also employed as officers
and/or directors of Standard Drilling, Inc., a company engaged in the business
of drilling services. There exists a substantial possibility of a conflict
of
interest for those officers employed by Standard Drilling. arising from
their
employment by both us and Standard Drilling. As officers, these individuals
will
have a duty of loyalty to both companies, and a conflict will arise if
we enter
into any arrangements with Standard Drilling or if we and Standard Drilling
engage, or attempt to engage, in the same businesses. In such cases, the
officers may not be able to make decisions or take action that satisfies
their
obligations to both companies.
Employment
of some of our officers by another company may limit the time they have
available to devote to managing our business.
As
noted
above, several of our officers, including our President and CFO, are also
employed as officers and/or directors of Standard Drilling, Inc. Because
of the
time required of them to manage Standard Drilling’s business, the officers may
not be able to devote sufficient time to managing our business, and as
a result
our business and financial results could be adversely affected.
There
is a high demand for leases and drilling rigs in the areas of our operation
and
we may not be able to obtain leases or access to rigs at rates that permit
us to
be profitable or at all.
Increases
in oil and natural gas prices have resulted in a significant increase in demand
for both oil and gas leases and drilling rigs. As a result, the cost of both
leases and rigs has increased substantially. In particular the demand for rigs
has made it difficult in some instances to obtain such services without
significant advance schedulings. If we cannot obtain leases to oil and gas
properties and rigs when needed and at reasonable rates, or at all, we may
not
be able to complete exploration and development and commence production in
a
timely manner. As a result, our associated costs could be substantially higher,
we may lose our rights to some leases and our business and financial results
may
be adversely affected.
We
will face intense competition in our industry, and we may not have the capacity
to compete with larger oil and gas companies also investing in oil and gas
prospects.
Identifying
and realizing attractive investments in the energy sector are highly
competitive, involve a high degree of uncertainty and often require significant
capital. There are many companies with more resources in the oil and gas
industry, competing to identify and acquire the most desirable oil and gas
prospects. If we cannot acquire oil and gas prospects, at a cost which allows
us
to earn a profit, due to such competition, our business and financial results
will be adversely affected.
The
selection of prospects, ownership and operation of oil and gas wells, and the
ownership of non-operating oil and gas properties are highly speculative
investments.
Prospects
may not produce oil or natural gas, or drilling or development on a prospect
may
not take place at all. Operations on the interests we acquire may be
unprofitable, not only because a well may be non-productive “dry hole,” but also
because the producing life and productivity of wells are unpredictable. Wells
may not produce oil and/or gas in sufficient quantities or quality to recoup
the
investment, let alone return a profit. Further, weather-related and other delays
may affect the ability to drill for hydrocarbons, produce hydrocarbons, or
to
transport hydrocarbons. Development and transportation may be made impracticable
or impossible by weather, ground conditions, inability to obtain appropriate
easements, ground water, or other conditions or delays. If any of our prospects
or wells fails to produce at anticipated levels or if their completion or
operation is delayed or limited, our business and financial results may be
adversely affected.
The
experts on whom we rely to analyze potential acquisitions may not make accurate
conclusions about prospects.
We
will
rely on our management and personnel, experts, our partners and other third
parties to analyze potential prospects in which we invest. If the analysis
is
inaccurate, the prospects may not result in productive wells and our business
and financial results will be adversely affected.
Third
parties may operate some of the prospects in which we invest
and
thus we may be unable to control their operations in a manner as we believe
will
yield the best results.
Third
parties may act as the operator of some of our prospects, and in most cases,
we
will acquire less than a 100% ownership position in our oil and gas properties.
Accordingly, third parties may manage and control the drilling, completion
and
production operations on the properties. As a result, a prospect may not be
drilled or operated in the manner we desire. Additionally, we could be held
liable for the joint activities of other working interest owners of our
investment properties, including nonpayment of costs and liabilities arising
from the other working interest owners’ actions. Moreover, if other working
interest owners do not, or cannot, pay their share of drilling and completion
costs for a prospect, that prospect might not be fully developed.
Leasehold
interests in which we invest may revert before the interest is profitable.
Many
leases and mineral interests contain provisions that allow ownership to revert
back to the original owners after a certain period of time and under certain
circumstances. Because we may not have control of the majority of the interest
in a particular lease block or because of a lack of funds or availability of
equipment, we will have little or no control over the development or drilling
that takes place, and leases may therefore expire before any commercialization
of the lease takes place.
Drilling
wells is speculative, unpredictable, and
we
will lose our entire investment in wells that do not produce in commercial
quantities.
We
will be
required to pay our pro rata share of drilling expenses on a prospect where
we
own a working interest. Drilling involves high risk, and the probability is
high
that no oil and gas will be discovered in commercial quantities. In most
instances for any given prospect, a dry hole will result in a total loss of
any
amounts invested in the drilling of the prospect, including the amount invested
in the mineral lease.
Production
and marketing conditions may cause production delays.
Some
of
the prospects we acquire may be remote from transportation facilities. Drilling
wells in areas remote from transportation facilities may delay production from
those wells until sufficient reserves are established to justify construction
of
necessary pipelines and production facilities. The inability to complete wells
in a timely fashion on a prospect may also result in production delays. In
addition, marketing demands (which have historically been seasonal) may reduce
or delay production from wells. The wells on the prospects in which we invest
may have access to only one potential market. Local conditions, including
closing businesses, conservation, shifting population, pipeline maximum
operating pressure constraints, local supply levels and delivery problems could
halt or reduce sales from the wells in which we invest. The occurrence of any
of
these adverse conditions may adversely affect our ability to produce and/or
market oil and gas from the affected wells.
Oil
and gas markets have historically been unstable
and
their fluctuation may adversely affect the value and marketability of our
investments.
Global
economic conditions, political conditions and other factors create an unstable
market for the price of oil and natural gas. Oil and gas prices may fluctuate
significantly in response to supply, demand, political, economic, weather and
other factors. Such price fluctuation may affect the value of cash flow from
producing properties and the value and marketability of our
investments.
We
may
not be able to be both cost-efficient and geographically diversified.
While
we
will diversify our investments among different properties, prospects, and,
possibly, geographic regions, the cost to acquire interests in and develop
oil
and gas prospects varies greatly in different geographic locations.
Consequently, if we make investments in a limited geographic area, it may lower
our cost per investment but would limit the diversity of our portfolio.
Conversely, if we make investments in a number of different areas, our diversity
would increase but at a greater cost to us.
The
profitability of any investment will be subject to the risk of loss due to
damage to people or property arising from the hazards of drilling and operating
prospects and wells.
We
intend
to invest in leaseholds, titles, mineral interests, working interests, royalty
interests and other energy exploration related assets. Numerous potential
hazards accompany the development of these interests, including unexpected
or
unusual ground formations, pressures, blowouts, and pollution. Any of these
hazards could injure or kill people or damage property, including causing
surface damages, equipment damage, reservoir damage and reserve loss. If any
of
these potential hazards occur, the associated damages could exceed the value
of
our assets and any insurance coverage.
Our
activities will be subject to substantial environmental laws and regulations
and
the cost of complying with those laws and regulations
may
be significant.
We
will be
subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and
ordinances that may impose liability for the costs of cleaning up, and damages
resulting from, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous
substances. In particular, under applicable environmental laws, we may be
responsible for certain costs associated with investigating and remediating
environmental conditions and may be subject to associated liability, including
lawsuits brought by private litigants, relating to prospects in which we own
working interests. These obligations could arise regardless of whether the
environmental conditions were created by us, a partner or by a prior owner
or
tenant. If we incur any such costs, our business and financial results may
be
adversely affected.
Risks
Related to Our Stock
There
is currently a limited market for our common stock, and any trading market
that
develops in the common stock may be highly illiquid and may not reflect the
underlying value of
our
net assets or business prospects.
There
is
currently a limited market for our common stock. Accordingly, purchasers of
the
shares offered hereby will be required to bear the economic consequences of
holding such securities for an indefinite period of time. An active trading
market for our common stock may not ever develop. Any trading market that does
develop may be volatile, and significant competition to sell our common stock
in
any such trading market may exist, which could negatively affect the price
of
our common stock. As a result, the value of our common stock may decrease.
Additionally, if a trading market does develop, such market may be highly
illiquid, and our common stock may trade at a price that does not accurately
reflect the underlying value of our net assets or business prospects. Investors
are cautioned not to rely on the possibility that an active trading market
may
develop or on the prices at which our stock may trade in any market that does
develop in making an investment decision.
If
our
share price is volatile, we may be the target of securities litigation, which
is
costly and time-consuming to defend.
In
the
past, following periods of market volatility in the price of a company’s
securities, security holders have often instituted class action litigation.
If
the market value of our common stock experiences adverse fluctuations and we
become involved in this type of litigation, regardless of the outcome, we could
incur substantial legal costs and our management’s attention could be diverted
from the operation of our business, causing our business to suffer.
Our
“blank
check” preferred stock could be issued to prevent a business combination not
desired by management or our current majority shareholders.
Our
articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred
stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined by
our
board of directors without shareholder approval. Our preferred stock could
be
utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in our
control and as a method of preventing shareholders from receiving a premium
for
their shares in connection with a change of control.
Future
sales of our common stock in the public market could lower our stock
price.
We
may
sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent public or private
offerings. We may also issue additional shares of common stock to finance future
acquisitions. Such sales or issuances may be at prices less than the public
trading price. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common
stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our
common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of
substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued in connection
with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may
adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
We
presently do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common
stock.
We
currently anticipate that no cash dividends will be paid on the common stock
in
the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating
results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that all earnings,
if any, will be retained to finance the future expansion of the our business.
Therefore, prospective investors who anticipate the need for immediate income
by
way of cash dividends from their investment should not purchase our shares
of
common stock.

6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
We
are
engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and exploitation activities in the
Barnett Shale development in Ft. Worth Basin located northern Texas, the Bakkan
Shale development in the Williston Basin located in Montana and North Dakota,
and the Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin located in Arkansas.
We have a limited operating history as our predecessor company for financial
reporting purposes was formed on August 17, 2005. We are engaged in the
acquisition, exploitation and development of producing and non-producing oil
and
gas-shale (source rock) properties in selected producing basins in North
America. Our oil and gas business was commenced in August 2005. Our current
activities are focused on the exploration and production of natural gas in
the
Barnett Shale development in Northern Texas and the Fayetteville Shale
development in Arkansas.
Our
goal
is to expand and develop our exploration and production business and our
reserves by initially emphasizing the identification and development of shale
gas opportunities in the Barnett Shale and the Fayetteville Shale. We believe
both the Mississippian development of the Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth Basin
and the Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin provides the greatest
near term economic value to us.
Acquisition,
exploration and development.
We
follow
the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Accordingly,
all
costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and
gas
reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement
costs, are capitalized.
General
and administrative.
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, office
expense, professional services fees, and other corporate overhead costs. We
anticipate increases in general and administrative expenses as we continue
to
increase our staff to expand our operations.
Results
of Operations
We
commenced our oil and gas operations in August 2005. Prior to that time we
did
not have any significant activities or assets. Consequently, we are not able
to
compare results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2005 to any
earlier period.
Oil
and Gas Revenues.
For
the
period from inception (August 17, 2005) to December 31, 2005 our oil and gas
net
sales were $20,778, Oil and gas revenues are derived from our proportionate
share of working interests in oil and gas properties.
General
and Administrative Expenses.
For
the
period
from inception (August 17, 2005) to December 31, 2005 general and administrative
expenses were $1,893,602. A total of $273,585 was for actual costs associated
with our general and administrative expense,
$115,517
was for salary and wages for employees,
and
$1,504,500 since inception was a non-cash compensation expense associated with
stock and options granted to our founders and management who we believe are
key
to the development of our business.
Net
loss.
For
the
period from inception (August 17, 2005) to December 31, 2005, we had a net
loss
for the year ended December 31, 2005, of $1,901,651 or ($0.05) per share (basic
and diluted).
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
our
inception, our primary sources of liquidity have been generated by the sale
of
equity securities (including the issuance of securities in exchange for goods
and services to third parties and to pay costs of employees).
On
October
31, 2005, we raised an aggregate of $8,000,000 ($7,243,056 net of offering
costs) through the sale of 20,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75. The
terms of the warrants are described in this report under “Description of
Securities.” As of March 31, 2006, 400,000 warrants to purchase our common stock
have been exercised. As of December 31, 2005, we had cash of $2,105,749. In
March and April 2006, we raised an aggregate of $11,560,000 ($10,708,000 net
of
offering costs) through the sale of 5,780,000 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 5,780,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of
$2.75. The terms of the Warrants are described in this report under “Description
of Securities.”
For
the
period from August 17, 2005 to December 31, 2005, cash provided by operating
activities was 566,352 which consists of our net loss of $1,901,651, the
adjustment to for the non-cash expense of stock options granted for services
and
an increase in accounts payable of $1,045,482.
CASH
FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
For
the
period from August 17, 2005 to December 31, 2005, net cash used in investing
activities was ($5,730,659), driven primarily by our investment in oil and
gas
properties in the Ft. Worth Basin.
CASH
FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For
the
period from August 17, 2005 to December 31, 2005, net cash provided by financing
activities was $7,270,056, which was attributed to our sale of common stock
and
purchase warrants. On October 31, 2005, we raised an aggregate of $8,000,000
($7,243,056 net of offering costs) through the sale of 20,000,000 shares of
common stock and warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at
an
exercise price of $0.75.
Future
capital expenditures and commitments
Expenditures
for exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties and lands
costs related to the acquisition of non-producing leasehold are the primary
use
of our capital resources. Our budgeted capital and exploration and development
expenditures are expected to be approximately $19.5 million in 2006 as follows

As
of June
15, 2006, we believe that our remaining cash balance and revenues from existing
projects will be sufficient to cover our current liabilities, obligations and
contractual commitments for 2006 but will not be sufficient to fund all budgeted
development and drilling of our existing projects, or to fund the acquisition
of
all budgeted land costs, as discussed above in our 2006 capital budget. We
will
need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and/or debt
securities to fully meet our 2006 capital budget. Failure to raise necessary
capital or generate sufficient cash flow from operations in 2006 will cause
us
to curtail or eliminate certain development and drilling of existing and planned
projects as well as a curtail the acquisition of land costs as highlighted
in
our 2006 capital budget.
As
a
result, the actual amount and timing of our capital expenditures may differ
materially from our estimates. Some of the other factors which may keep us
from
fulfilling our 2006 capital budget are among other things, actual drilling
results, cost overruns, the availability of drilling rigs and other services
and
equipment, regulatory, technological and competitive developments, and all
such
other assumptions referenced in the in this report.
Hedging
We
did not
hedge any of our oil or natural gas production during 2005 and have not entered
into any such hedges from January 1, 2006 through the date of this
filing.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is
based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We
believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant
judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial
statements.
Reverse
Acquisition.
We
treated the merger of Calibre Energy, Inc.,a Delaware corporation, into a
subsidiary of Hardwood Doors and Milling Specialties, Inc. as a reverse
acquisition. Pursuant to the guidance in Appendix B of SEC Accounting Disclosure
Rules and Practices Official Text, the “merger of a private operating company
into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets typically
results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or
effective operating control of the combined company after the transaction,
with
the shareholders of the former public shell continuing only as passive
investors. These transactions are considered by the staff to be capital
transactions in substance, rather than business combinations. That is, the
transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for
the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a
recapitalization.” Accordingly, the reverse acquisition has been accounted for
as a recapitalization. For accounting purposes, the original Calibre Energy,
Inc. is considered the acquirer in the reverse acquisition. The historical
financial statements are those of the original Calibre Energy, Inc. Earnings
per
share for periods prior to the merger are restated to reflect the number of
equivalent shares received by the acquiring company.
Revenue
recognition.
We
derive substantially all of our revenues from the sale of oil and natural gas.
Oil and gas revenues are recorded in the month the product is delivered to
the
purchaser and title transfers. We generally receive payment from one to three
months after the sale has occurred. Each month we estimate the volumes sold
and
the price at which they were sold to record revenue. Variances between estimated
revenue and actual amounts are recorded in the month payment is
received.
Oil
and Gas Properties.
We
follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.
Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development
of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related
asset retirement costs, are capitalized.
All
capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future
costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production
method
using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties
and major
development projects in progress are not amortized until proved reserves
associated with the projects can be determined and are periodically assessed
for
impairment. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties
are
impaired, such impairment is added to the costs being amortized and is
subject
to the ceiling test.
In
addition, the capitalized costs are subject to a “ceiling test,” which basically
limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value,” discounted
at a 10-percent interest rate of future net revenues from proved reserves,
based
on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair
market value of unproved properties.
Sales
of
proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized
costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would
significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in
income.
Abandonments
of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no
loss
recognized.
Oil
and Gas Properties Not Subject to Amortization.
We are
currently participating in oil and gas exploration and development activities.
As of December 31, 2005, substantially all of our activities are in a
preliminary exploration and drilling stage. Upon completion of development
of
each property, we make an estimate of proved producing reserves associated
with
such property. Until such time, property, development and exploratory costs
are
excluded in computing amortization.
Calibre
is
currently participating in oil and gas exploration and development activities.
At December 31, 2005, a determination could not be made about the extent of
oil
reserves that should be classified as proved reserves. Consequently, all the
property, development and exploratory costs have been excluded in computing
amortization. Calibre will begin to amortize these costs when these projects
are
evaluated, which is currently estimated to be at the end of 2006
Depreciation,
depletion and amortization, or DD&A, of capitalized drilling and development
costs of oil and natural gas properties are generally computed using the unit
of
production method on an individual property or unit basis based on total
estimated proved developed oil and natural gas reserves. Amortization of
producing leasehold is based on the unit-of-production method using total
estimated proved reserves. In arriving at rates under the unit-of-production
method, the quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas are established based
on estimates made by our geologists and engineers and independent engineers.
Service properties, equipment and other assets are depreciated using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years. Upon sale
or
retirement of depreciable or depletable property, the cost and related
accumulated DD&A are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or
loss is recognized.
Non-producing
properties consist of undeveloped leasehold costs and costs associated with
the
purchase of certain proved undeveloped reserves. Undeveloped leasehold cost
is
expensed over the life of the lease or transferred to the associated producing
properties. Individually significant non-producing properties are periodically
assessed for impairment of value and a loss is recognized.
Oil
and natural gas reserves and standardized measure of future cash
flows.
Our
independent engineers and technical staff prepare the estimates of our oil
and
natural gas reserves and associated future net cash flows. Current accounting
guidance allows only proved oil and natural gas reserves to be included in
our
financial statement disclosures. The SEC has defined proved reserves as the
estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions. Even though our independent engineers and technical staff are
knowledgeable and follow authoritative guidelines for estimating reserves,
they
must make a number of subjective assumptions based on professional judgments
in
developing the reserve estimates. Reserve estimates are updated at least
annually and consider recent production levels and other technical information
about each field. Periodic revisions to the estimated reserves and future cash
flows may be necessary as a result of a number of factors, including reservoir
performance, new drilling, oil and natural gas prices and cost changes,
technological advances, new geological or geophysical data, or other economic
factors. We cannot predict the amounts or timing of future reserve revisions.
If
such revisions are significant, they could significantly alter future DD&A
and result in impairment of assets that may be material.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets.
We
review long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset
may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash
flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, further impairment analysis
is performed. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value of assets.
Employee
Stock Plan.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No.123R establishes standards for the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No.123R requires that the fair value of such equity
instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements
as
services are performed. Prior to SFAS No.123R, only certain pro forma
disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS No.123R shall be effective for
small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Calibre will adopt SFAS
No. 123R as of January 1, 2006.
We
have a
stock-based compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 6. As
permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, we account for the
plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
Accordingly, stock-based employee compensation cost has been recognized, as
all
options granted under the plan had an exercise price less than the market value
of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, see note 5 for more
information. There would be minimal effect on the net loss had compensation
cost
for the stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the grant date
fair values of awards (the method described in FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation).
Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities.
In
January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46(R) (“FIN 46”), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business
enterprises of variable interest entities (formerly special purpose entities).
In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust
or
any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not
have equity investors with voting rights nor (b) has equity investors that
do
not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its
activities. The objective of FIN 46 is not to restrict the use of variable
interest entities, but to improve financial reporting by companies involved
with
variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk
of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a
majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The consolidation
requirements are effective for the first period that ends after March 15, 2004;
we elected to adopt the requirements effective for the reporting period ending
December 31, 2005. The adoption of FIN 46 had no effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
ITEM
7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Directors
Calibre
Energy, Inc.
Washington,
DC 20006
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Calibre Energy, Inc.
as
of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period August 17, 2005 (inception)
to December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Calibre Energy, Inc. as of December
31, 2005 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from August
17, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Calibre
Energy, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, Calibre Energy, Inc. was formed on August 17, 2005 and
has
generated operating losses since inception, which raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to
these matters are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

and Business Operations
Calibre
Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or “Calibre”) is an exploration and production
company focused on the acquisition, exploitation and development of high
quality, long-lived producing and non-producing fractured gas and oil shale
properties in selected producing basins in North America. Headquartered in
Washington, DC and Houston, Texas, Calibre is a Delaware corporation that was
formed on August 17, 2005.
Calibre
completed a reverse merger into a public company, Hardwood Doors and Milling
Specialties, Inc. (“Hardwood”), on January 27, 2006, in which Calibre obtained a
controlling interest. See Note 11 for details.
Calibre’s
goal is to expand and develop our exploration and production business and its
reserves by initially emphasizing the identification and development of shale
gas opportunities in the Barnett Shale and the Fayetteville Shale. Calibre
has
identified that both the Mississippian developments of the Barnett Shale in
the
Ft. Worth Basin and the Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin
provide the greatest near term economic value to it. Calibre is currently
participating in three projects with Kerogen Resources, Inc., a small, privately
held, exploration and production company, located in Houston, Texas, the
Reichmann Petroleum project, South Ft. Worth Basin project and Williston Basin
project. As of June 15, 2006, Calibre held 774 net acres in the Reichmann
Petroleum project and 3,161.93 net acres in the South Ft. Worth JV and has
participated in 22 gross wells. Four wells are currently producing, nine wells
have been drilled, completed and fraced and are waiting to be hooked up to
a
pipeline, four wells have been drilled, completed and are cleaning up after
being frac prior to being hooked up to a gas gathering line, three wells have
been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting to be fraced, and two
wells are currently drilling. Calibre has acquired 5,318 gross leasehold acres
and 3,417 net acres in the Barnett Shale outside of the areas covered by the
Reichmann Petroleum project, South Ft. Worth Basin project and Williston Basin
project. Calibre anticipates that it will commence development activities on
these leases in the third quarter of 2006. Additionally, as of June 15, 2006,
we
have acquired 2,636 gross leasehold acres and 1,771 net leasehold acres in
the
Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin in Arkansas.
Calibre
anticipates applying a business model to achieve substantial annual growth
in
production and reserves with a relatively low risk approach. These plans include
deploying known techniques for use in identifying, predicting, and optimizing
future production volumes and rates. Using multi-discipline teams with core
competencies of petrophysics, reservoir and production engineering, geology
and
geophysics, the Calibre’s emphasis will be on the practical integrated
application of these technologies to identify previously “hidden” potential.
This model mitigates conventional exploration risk because Calibre will focus
on: a) shales that are laterally extensive (pervasive); b) basins where the
target zones have been previously penetrated and found to be productive; c)
shales that have been successfully fraced (contained); d) cuttings utilized
to
validate source rock potential, porosity, and permeability; and e) projects
that
will be financially leveraged.
Note
2. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
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 the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Calibre’s
financials are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and
gas
reserve quantities which are the bases for the calculation of depreciation,
depletion and impairment of oil and gas properties, and timing and costs
associated with its retirement obligations.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and
cash equivalents include cash in banks and certificates of deposit which mature
within three months of the date of purchase.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject Calibre to concentration of credit risk
consist of cash. At December 31, 2005, Calibre had $1,905,749 in cash in excess
of federally insured limits. Calibre maintains cash accounts only at large
high
quality financial institutions and Calibre believes the credit risk associated
with cash is remote.
Oil
and Gas Properties
Calibre
follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.
Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development
of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related
asset retirement costs, are capitalized.
All
capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future
costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production
method
using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties
and major
development projects in progress are not amortized until proved reserves
associated with the projects can be determined and are periodically assessed
for
impairment. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties
are
impaired, such impairment is added to the costs being amortized and is
subject
to the ceiling test.
Capitalized
costs are subject to a “ceiling test,” which limits such costs to the aggregate
of the “estimated present value,” discounted at a 10-percent interest rate of
future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and
operating conditions, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus
the
lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs
being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis
differences of the properties.
Sales
of
proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized
costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would
significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in
income.
Abandonments
of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no
loss
recognized.
Oil
and Gas Properties Not Subject to Amortization
Calibre
is
currently participating in oil and gas exploration and development activities.
At December 31, 2005, a determination cannot be made about the extent of oil
reserves that should be classified as proved reserves. Consequently, all the
property, development and exploratory costs have been excluded in computing
amortization. Calibre will begin to amortize these costs when these projects
are
evaluated, which is currently estimated to be 2006.
Furniture
and Office Equipment
Furniture
and office equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 5 years. During the
period ended December 31, 2005, there was no depreciation expense as the assets
were not in place and utilized until after the period end.
Employee
Stock Plan
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No.123R establishes standards for the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments
for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No.123R requires that the fair value of such equity
instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements
as
services are performed. Prior to SFAS No.123R, only certain pro forma
disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS No.123R shall be effective for
small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Calibre will adopt SFAS
No. 123R as of January 1, 2006.
Calibre
has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note
6. As
permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, Calibre accounts
for
the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No.
25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
Accordingly, stock-based employee compensation cost has been recognized, as
all
options granted under the plan had an exercise price less than the market value
of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, see note 6 for more
information. There would be minimal effect on the net loss had compensation
cost
for the stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the grant date
fair values of awards (the method described in FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation).
Income
Taxes
Provisions
for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year
and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income
and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets
and
liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income
tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and
liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in SFAS
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates
are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary
to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be
realized.
Revenue
and Cost Recognition
Calibre
uses the sales method of accounting for natural gas and oil revenues. Under
this
method, revenues are recognized based on the actual volumes of gas and oil
sold
to purchasers. The volume sold may differ from the volumes to which Calibre
is
entitled based on our interest in the properties. Costs associated with
production are expensed in the period incurred.
Note
3. Going
Concern
As
shown
in the accompanying financial statements, Calibre has incurred operating losses
since inception and expects to continue to incur losses through 2006. As of
December 31, 2005, Calibre has limited financial resources until such time
that
Calibre is able to generate positive cash flow from operations. These factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Calibre’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow
is dependent upon Calibre’s ability to locate profitable properties, generate
revenue from their planned business operations, and control exploration cost.
Management plans to fund its future operation by obtaining additional financing
and commencing commercial production. However, there is no assurance that we
will be able to obtain additional financing from investors or private lenders
and, if available, such financing may not be on commercial terms acceptable
to
Calibre or its shareholders.
Note

The
components giving rise to the net deferred tax assets described above have
been
included in the accompanying balance sheet as noncurrent assets. The deferred
tax assets are net of a full valuation allowance of $665,578 based on the amount
that management believes will ultimately be realized. Realization of deferred
tax asset is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period
that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be
available to reduce taxable income. Loss carryforwards for tax purposes will
begin to expire in 2025.
The
income
tax provision differs from the amount of income determined by applying the
U.S.
Federal income tax rate to pretax income for the year ended December 31, 2005
primarily due to the valuation allowance.
Note
5. Oil
and Gas Properties Not Subject to Amortization
Calibre
is
currently participating in oil and gas exploration and development activities
on
onshore properties in the Fort Worth Basin, Williston Basin and Arkhoma Basin.
At December 31, 2005, these activities are in the early stages of development
and a determination cannot be made about the extent of oil and gas reserves
that
should be classified as proved reserves. Accordingly, the capital costs have
been excluded from the computation of amortization of the full cost pool.
Calibre will begin to amortize these costs as the projects are completed and
reserve estimates are available. We estimate that many of the projects we are
currently participating in will be evaluated and subject to amortization by
the
2006 year end.
Costs

6. Shareholders’
Equity
Preferred
Stock
Calibre
is
authorized to issue up to 10 million shares of $.001 par value preferred stock,
the rights and preferences of which are to be determined by the Board of
Directors at or prior to the time of issuance. As of December 31, 2005 none
of
the preferred stock is outstanding.
Common
Stock
As
of
December 31, 2005, Calibre is authorized to issue 70,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value of $.001 per share. The founding shareholders were granted
and
issued 27,000,000 shares of common stock at inception. In October 2005, Calibre
completed a private offering of 20,000,000 shares of common stock at a price
of
$.40 per share realizing net proceeds after offering costs of $7.2 million.
In
conjunction with the common shares issued, Calibre issued warrants to purchase
10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share. The
warrants expire in October 2007. These warrants are valued at $0.15 per share
or
$1,500,000. Calibre paid fees and expenses related to this offering of $756,944.
Calibre also granted 2,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.40 per
share. The Warrants expire in October 2007. These warrants were also valued
at
$0.15 or $300,000.
Note
7.
Stock Option Plan
2005
Stock Incentive Plan.
Calibre
adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in October 2005. Under the
Plan options may be granted to key employees and other persons who contribute
to
the success of Calibre. Calibre has reserved 9,000,000 shares of common stock
for the plan. During the period ended December 31, 2005, we granted options
pursuant to the plan, to purchase 5,150,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $.05 per share, 50,000 options to purchase shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $.12 per share, and 1,250,000 options to purchase
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.24 per share. 5,800,000 options
are fully vested and 650,000 options vest equally over a four year period.
All
of our outstanding options expire 10 years after the date of grant. The plan
is
designed to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code as an incentive stock option
plan. Compensation expense recorded through December 31, 2005 for the options
granted is $1,504,500.

Related Party Transactions.
First,
Calibre is a party to a letter agreement with Kerogen Resources pursuant to
which Calibre is participating in the Reichmann Petroleum project. The
project is a joint venture with Kerogen Resources, Crosby Minerals and Reichmann
Petroleum Corporation to explore, acquire and develop properties located in
the
Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth Basin of north Texas. Reichmann is the operator
of the properties. In October 2005 Calibre acquired, through Kerogen Resources,
a 12.5% working interest in 6,190 net acres of leasehold interests in Parker,
Tarrant, Denton, and Johnson Counties, Texas. Subsequent to the initial
acquisition, Calibre purchased a 25% working interest in 443 net acres of
leasehold interests from Reichmann Petroleum in Johnson County, Texas. Kerogen
Resources provides the technical guidance for the project and in exchange will
receive 12.5% of our working interest in each well drilled. As of March
31,
2005, Calibre has paid Kerogen a total $4,835,061, of which
$3,179,660 was for the 12.5% working interest in the initial 6,190
acres,
prepayment of drilling costs on 12 wells and
for
the purchase of the 25% working interest in the leasehold interest in Johnson
County and $1,655,401 was for operating costs (ie, drilling and completion
costs) of the joint venture since the original payment. Kerogen
then paid such amounts to Reichmann Petroleum Corporation as reimbursement
of
leasehold costs, drilling and operating expenses.
Currently, our net acreage position subject to the Reichmann agreement is 773.94
net acres. As
of
April 30, 2006, Calibre has participated in 20 gross wells. Four wells are
currently producing, nine wells have been drilled, completed and fraced and
are
waiting to be hooked up to a pipeline, four wells have been drilled, completed
and are cleaning up after being frac prior to being hooked up to a gas gathering
line, three wells have been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting
to
be fraced, and two wells are currently drilling.
Second,
Calibre has entered into a Participation Agreement with Kerogen Resources for
the exploration and development of prospects in the South Fort Worth Basin.
Pursuant to this agreement Calibre is obligated to pay Kerogen Resources
$597,000 for its identification of prospects; Calibre has paid Kerogen Resources
$500,000 of such amount. As of April 30, 2006 Calibre
has leased approximately 2,399 net leasehold acres under 8,885 gross leasehold
acres pursuant to this agreement. Calibre
has paid $666,637 to Kerogen for participation in these leases in the Ft. Worth
Basin of Texas. All the leasehold acreage is currently undeveloped. Management
believes the price paid for leases represented market prices for similar acreage
in the area.
Third,
Calibre has entered into a Participation Agreement with Kerogen Resources for
the exploration and development of prospects in the Williston Basin. Pursuant
to
this agreement Calibre is obligated to pay Kerogen Resources $638,600 for its
identification of prospects; Calibre has paid Kerogen Resources $550,000 of
such
amount. As of March 31, 2006, Calibre has not leased or developed any properties
pursuant to this agreement.
Fourth,
Calibre held a promissory note issued by Kerogen Resources. The principal owed
pursuant to the note was $300,000 bearing interest at the rate of 6.25% per
annum. The principal of this note and accrued interest thereon was due and
payable in a single installment on the maturity date. The maturity date was
the
earlier of September 30, 2006 or the date on which Kerogen Resources received
gross proceeds of at least $6,000,000 from a sale of equity, in one or more
transactions. Calibre acquired the note from Mr. Tomlinson in October 2005
in
exchange for a payment of $300,000. This note was entered into by Mr. Tomlinson,
a founder of Calibre Energy, in anticipation of the formation of Calibre Energy.
After the incorporation of Calibre Energy, the company entered into agreements
with Kerogen for the purpose of identification, exploration
and development of prospects in the Fort Worth Basin
and
Williston Basin. The Reichmann Petroleum Project and South Fort Worth Basin
project are projects identified by these agreements. On March 24, 2006, Kerogen
Resources repaid $314,623.29, the full amount of the promissory note and all
interest due.
On
March
24, 2006, we loaned $350,000 to Standard Drilling, Inc. pursuant to a loan
bearing interest at 4% per annum. On April 7, 2006 Standard Drilling, Inc.
repaid us $350,544.54, the full amount of the loan with all interest due.
Mr. Tomlinson, our President, controls a limited liability company that, at
the
time of the loan, owned 53% of Standard Drilling, Inc.
Several
of
our officers, including our President and CFO, are also employed as officers
and/or directors of Standard Drilling, Inc., a company engaged in the business
of drilling services.

NOTE

- Asset Retirement Obligations
In
accordance with SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” Calibre
records the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”)
in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the
carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The present value of the
estimated asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount
of
the long-lived asset and is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.
Calibre accrues an abandonment liability associated with its oil and gas wells
when those assets are placed in service. The ARO is recorded at its estimated
fair value and accretion is recognized over time as the discounted liability
is
accreted to its expected settlement value. Fair value is determined by using
the
expected future cash outflows discounted at Calibre’s risk-free interest rate.
No market risk premium has been included in Calibre’s calculation of the ARO
balance. Calibre’s net ARO liability at December 31, 2005 is expected to
approximate the salvage value of the properties.

- Subsequent
Events
Reverse
Merger
On
January
27, 2006, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of January 17, 2006 by and among Hardwood Doors
and
Milling Specialties, Inc., a Nevada corporation (”Hardwood”),
Calibre Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation (“Merger
Sub”),
and
Calibre Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Calibre
Energy Delaware”),
( the
“Merger Agreement”), Merger Sub was merged with and into Calibre Energy
Delaware, and Calibre Energy Delaware became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of
Hardwood (the “Merger”).
As a
result of the Merger, Hardwood, which previously had no material operations,
acquired the business of Calibre Energy Delaware. For accounting purposes,
this
reorganization was treated as a reverse merger, with Calibre Energy, Inc.
being
the accounting acquirer and the go-forward financial statements reflect
Calibre’s history from its inception on August 17, 2005.
Each
outstanding share of common stock of Calibre Energy Delaware was converted
into
one share of common stock of Hardwood. All outstanding options and warrants
to
purchase common stock of Calibre Energy Delaware were assumed by Calibre
and
converted into options and warrants to purchase an equal number of shares
of
common stock of Hardwood. The Merger resulted in a change of control of
Hardwood, with the former security holders of Calibre Energy Delaware owning
approximately 93.0% of Hardwood’s outstanding common stock, or approximately
93.7% assuming the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, following
the closing of the Merger.
In
the
Merger, Hardwood issued 47,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange
for
47,000,000 shares of common stock of Calibre Energy Delaware and reserved
for
issuance (1) 10,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding
warrants
to purchase common stock of Calibre Energy Delaware that were assumed by
Hardwood, and (2) 6,425,000 shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding
options to purchase common stock of Calibre Energy Delaware pursuant to
the
Calibre Energy, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan that were assumed by Hardwood.
In
connection with the Merger, Calibre paid Hardwood $100,000 as a deposit
pursuant
to the Merger Agreement. A condition to the Merger was an agreement by
the then
principal stockholder of Hardwood to cancel, immediately prior to the Merger,
19,575,000 outstanding shares of common stock of Hardwood that had been
issued
to the principal shareholder. In consideration of such cancellation, Hardwood
paid the principal shareholder $100,000, and Calibre recognized
recapitalization expense of $100,000. The then principal shareholder of
Hardwood
also assumed the net liabilities of Hardwood. As a result of the Merger,
Hardwood has 50,525,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and
an
additional 18,425,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance as described
above.
In
connection with the consummation of the merger, we changed our name to
Calibre
Energy, Inc.
Private
Placement
On
April
18, 2006 Calibre completed a private placement to institutional and other
accredited investors in which it sold 5,780,000
units. Each unit, composed of one share of common stock and a warrant to
purchase a share of common stock, was sold at a price of $2.00. Aggregate
gross proceeds to Calibre were $11,560,000.
Offering costs were $ 892,000 and will be reflected as a reduction in the
proceeds.
Each
warrant issued entitles the holder to acquire one additional share of Calibre
common stock at an exercise price of U.S. $2.75 per share at any time on or
before two years following the date of issuance. Provided that if the closing
price of our common stock on any exchange on which the common stock is traded
or
quoted equals or exceeds U.S.$4.00 for 20 consecutive trading days and if
either: (i) a registration statement registering the re-sale of the shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants has been declared effective, or (ii)
Calibre has completed a “Canadian Going Public Transaction” as referred to in
the Warrant under the caption “Canadian Reporting Issuer Status,” then the
warrant term shall be automatically reduced to 30 days from the date of initial
issuance of a news release by Calibre announcing the change to the warrant
term.
In
connection with sales outside the United States, Calibre Energy paid finders
fees totaling $ 892,000 and issued to the finders warrants to acquire a total
of
577,500 shares on the same terms as those warrants issued to the investors
except that the exercise price for the finders warrants is $2.00 per
share.
SUPPLEMENTAL
INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES
(UNAUDITED)
The
standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying
year-end prices of oil and gas to the estimated future production of proved
oil
and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs)
to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated
future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory tax rates) to be
incurred on pre-tax net cash flows less tax basis of the properties and
available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10
percent per year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash
flows.

CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE.
Change
of Accountants
Effective
April 7, 2006, our Board of Directors, determined to change our independent
accountants and dismissed Jones Simkins, PC as our independent registered public
accounting firm. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board
of
Directors approved the decision to change independent auditors. Jones Simkins,
PC had served as our Independent Registered Public Accountant since June 1,
2001
and audited our financial statements for the period June 1, 2001 through
December 31, 2005.
During
our
two most recent fiscal years, ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, (i) there
were
no disagreements between us and Jones Simkins on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Jones Simkins would
have
caused Jones Simkins to make reference to the matter in its reports on our
financial statements, and (ii) Jones Simkins’ report on our financial statements
did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles
with the exception of the following “going concern” qualification:
“As
of
December 31, 2005, the Company’s revenue generating activities are not in place,
and the Company has incurred losses since inception. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management intends to seek additional funding through business ventures. There
can be no assurance that such funds will be available to the Company or
available on terms acceptable to the Company. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.”
On
April
4, 2006, our Audit Committee recommended the engagement of Malone & Bailey,
CP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors
appointed Malone & Bailey as our Independent Registered Public Accountant
effective April 7, 2006.
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2005. Based on
this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
have
concluded that, as of December 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective. Our conclusion was based on (1) our lack of systematic
accounting and disclosure procedures, (2) the initial stages of the development
of our IT systems, (3) the hiring and development of new personnel and
(4) the
number of adjustments identified by our independent auditors during the
course
of their review. Changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
occurred in the previous period. We do not consider any of the internal
control
deficiencies to constitute a material weakness. We attribute all of the
identified weaknesses to the formative stage of our organizational development.
We currently lack the personnel resources to ensure that our disclosure
controls
and procedures are adequate. We
are
addressing the procedural and control issues by adding more formalized
accounting procedures and IT systems and by developing and adding to our
personnel in the reporting and control area.
Calibre
has substantially increased its business activities since the merger on
January
27, 2006. Accordingly, Calibre has been required to improve its system
of
internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered
by
this report by (1) initiating a plan to formalize accounting and disclosure
procedures; (2) further development of our internal IT systems; (3) hiring
additional financial personnel (4) engaging a third party provider of
accounting, bookkeeping and IT services that specializes in oil and gas
accounting; (5) performing additional reviews of our internal accounting
information prior to review by our independent auditors to ensure that
no items
that would have a material affect or are reasonably likely to have a material
affect on internal control over financial reporting will be identified
prior to
issuance of our reports.

Committees
of the Board of Directors
We
currently have an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating
and corporate governance committee.
Audit
Committee.
The
audit committee selects, on behalf of our board of directors, an independent
public accounting firm to be engaged to audit our financial statements, discuss
with the independent auditors their independence, review and discuss the audited
financial statements with the independent auditors and management and recommend
to our board of directors whether the audited financials should be included
in
our Annual Reports to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, which was adopted
February 3, 2005. The current member of the audit committee is Mr. Anderson.
All
of the
current members of the Audit Committee are non-employee directors who: (1)
meet
the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (2) have not participated
in the preparation of our financial statements or the financial statements
Hardwood Doors and Milling Specialties, Inc.; and (3) are able to read and
understand fundamental financial statements, including a balance sheet, income
statement and cash flow statement. The board has determined that Mr. Anderson
qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as defined by item 401(e) of
Regulation S-B of the Exchange Act.
Compensation
Committee.
The
compensation committee reviews and either approves, on behalf of our board
of
directors, or recommends to the board of directors for approval (1) the annual
salaries and other compensation of our executive officers and (2) individual
stock and stock option grants. The compensation committee also provides
assistance and recommendations with respect to our compensation policies and
practices and assists with the administration of our compensation plans. The
members of our Compensation Committee are independent directors as defined
in
the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, and are neither
an
officer nor employee of us or our subsidiary. The Compensation Committee
operates pursuant to a written charter, which was adopted August 11, 2004.
The
current member of the compensation committee is Mr. Anderson.
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee.
The
nominating and corporate governance committee assists our board of directors
in
fulfilling its responsibilities by: identifying and approving individuals
qualified to serve as members of our board of directors, selecting director
nominees for our annual meetings of shareholders, evaluating the performance
of
our board of directors, and developing and recommending to our board of
directors corporate governance guidelines and oversight with respect to
corporate governance and ethical conduct. Mr. Anderson is the current member
of
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, who has been found by the
Board of Directors to be an “independent director” pursuant to the applicable
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Mr. Tomlinson is also a member
of
the committee. This committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted
on
April 4, 2006.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks And Insider Participation.
During
the year ended December 31, 2005, we did not have a Compensation Committee
because Luke Frazier served as our sole officer and director. Following our
acquisition of Calibre Energy, Inc. in January 2006 and the appointment of
our
current Board of Directors, our Board of Directors formed a Compensation
Committee comprised of Mr. Anderson. The committee member has never been an
employee of Calibre Energy, Inc. None of our executive officers serve as a
member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that
has any executive officer serving as a member of our Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive
officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Common Stock to file
with
the SEC reports of their holdings of, and transactions in, our Common Stock.
Based solely upon our review of copies of such reports and written
representations from reporting persons that were provided to us, we believe
that
our officers, directors and 10% stockholders complied with these reporting
requirements with respect to 2005.
Code
of Ethics
We
have
adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and any
persons performing similar functions. The Company will provide a copy of its
code of ethics to any person without charge upon written request addressed
to
Calibre Energy, Inc., 1667 K Street, NW, Suite 1230, Washington, D.C.

Other
Employment Agreement Terms.
Each of
the foregoing employment agreements also include the following terms:
During
the
term of the agreement, we may terminate the employee’s employment at any time by
giving three months written notice. Additionally, we may terminate the
employee’s employment for cause upon written notice by the company. The employee
may terminate his employment for “Good Reason” when there is a decrease in his
base salary, or a materially adverse diminution of the overall level of his
responsibilities, or a material breach by us of any term or provision of the
employment agreement or after a change of control, or any personal reason that
the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board in its discretion
determines shall constitute “Good Reason.”
In
the
event of a “Change of Control” (as defined below), if the employee is terminated
without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason at any time during
the three year period following the Change of Control, the employee will be
entitled to the following: all outstanding stock options granted on or prior
to
the Change of Control shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain
exercisable for a period of three years, a lump-sum payment equal to three
times
the employee’s then current base salary, a lump-sum payment equal to three times
the highest annual bonus allowed under the Executive Bonus Plan during the
three
year period preceding the date of the Change of Control, and continued medial
and dental coverage for three years from the termination date at no cost to
the
employee.
For
purposes of the agreement, a “Change of Control” means: a tender offer for more
than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the company; the company is
merged or consolidated with another corporation, and as a result of the
transaction, less than 75% of the outstanding voting securities of the resulting
corporations are beneficially owned by stockholders of the company immediately
prior to the transaction; the company sells all or substantially all of its
assets to another entity that is not a wholly-owned subsidiary; during any
15-month period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted
the
board of directors of the company (including any new member whose election
was
approved by at least 2/3 of the members of the board of directors then still
in
office who were members at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason
to
constitute at least a majority of the board of directors; the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that
a
change of control has occurred; or 80% or more of the outstanding voting
securities of the company are acquired by any person or entity other than the
company, its subsidiaries or its affiliates.
The
employment agreement with each employee also contains customary nondisclosure
and proprietary rights provisions. In addition, for the period from October
1,
2005 until two years after termination of the agreement, the employee is subject
to a non-solicitation agreement with respect to, among others, our customers,
suppliers and employees.
The
employment agreement with each of these employees states the employee must
devote at least fifty percent (50%) of his full business time, attention
and
energies to the business of the Company and shall not be engaged in any
other
business activity, whether or not pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary
advantage, which would impair his ability to fulfill his duties to the
Company
under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Board. As
disclosed herein, each of these officers and employees is concurrently
serving
as an officer or employee of Standard Drilling, Inc. Such service has been
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Compensation
of Directors
On
April
4, 2006, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of our Board of Directors
recommended that the Board approve new compensation for Board members to be
effective as of January 1, 2006. The new compensation was approved by the Board
on April 25, 2006. Under the new compensation package, non-employee directors
will receive an annual retainer of $20,000 and $1,500 for each formal Board
meeting attended. In addition, each non-employee director who is also a
committee member will receive an annual committee retainer fee of $2,500 and
$750 for each formal committee meeting attended. Each non-employee director
who
is also a committee chair will receive an additional annual retainer of $2,500.
In addition, each non-employee director will be granted 20,000 shares of
restricted common stock and an option for 25,000 shares of common stock. In
addition, any new non-employee directors will be granted 20,000 shares of
restricted common stock an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the common stock
at the market price at the time of grant as a one time award upon joining the
Board. All option awards will be non-qualified stock options and, together
with
all awards of restricted stock, will be issued pursuant to equity compensation
plans in effect at the time of the award and will be exercisable for a ten-year
period from the date of grant of the award. The restricted stock and option
awards will vest in 50% installments on each December 31.

ITEM
12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our
President and Chairman, Mr. Prentis B. Tomlinson, Jr., owns a 17.9% (on a fully
diluted basis) stake of Kerogen Resources, Inc., a privately held oil and gas
exploration company. We have entered into four agreements with Kerogen
Resources, Inc.
First,
we
are parties to a letter agreement with Kerogen Resources pursuant to which
we
are participating in the Reichmann Petroleum project. The
project is a joint venture with Kerogen Resources, Crosby Minerals and Reichmann
Petroleum Corporation to explore, acquire and develop properties located in
the
Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth Basin of north Texas. Reichmann is the operator
of the properties. In October 2005 we acquired, through Kerogen Resources,
a
12.5% working interest in 6,190 net acres of leasehold interests in Parker,
Tarrant, Denton, and Johnson Counties, Texas. Subsequent to the initial
acquisition, we purchased a 25% working interest in 443 net acres of leasehold
interests from Reichmann Petroleum in Johnson County, Texas. Kerogen Resources
provides the technical guidance for the project and in exchange will receive
12.5% of our working interest in each well drilled. As of March
31,
2006, we have paid Kerogen a total $4,835,061, of which
$3,179,660 was for the 12.5% working interest in the initial 6,190
acres,
prepayment of drilling costs on 12
and for
the 25% working interest in the leasehold interest in Johnson County, TX and
$1,655,401 was for operating costs (ie, drilling and completion costs) of the
JV
since the original payment. Kerogen
then paid such amounts to Reichmann Petroleum Corporation as reimbursement
of
leasehold costs, drilling and operating expenses.
Currently, our net acreage position subject to the Reichmann agreement is 773.94
net acres. As
of May
31, 2006, Calibre has participated in 22 gross wells. Four wells are currently
producing, nine wells have been drilled, completed and fraced and are waiting
to
be hooked up to a pipeline, four wells have been drilled, completed and are
cleaning up after being frac prior to being hooked up to a gas gathering line,
three wells have been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting to
be
fraced, and two wells are currently drilling.
Second,
we
have entered into a Participation Agreement with Kerogen Resources for the
exploration and development of prospects in the South Fort Worth Basin as
described above under “Our Business - Our Projects.” Pursuant to this agreement
we are obligated to pay Kerogen Resources $597,000 for its identification of
prospects; we have paid Kerogen Resources $500,000 of such amount. As of March
31, we
have
leased approximately 2,399 net leasehold acres under 8,885 gross leasehold
acres
pursuant to this agreement. We
have
paid $666,637 to Kerogen for participation in these leases in the Hill County
area of Texas. All the leasehold acreage is currently undeveloped. The price
paid for leases represented market prices for similar acreage in the
area.
Third,
we
have entered into a Participation Agreement with Kerogen Resources for the
exploration and development of prospects in the Williston Basin as described
above under “Our Business - Our Projects.” Pursuant to this agreement we are
obligated to pay Kerogen Resources $638,600 for its identification of prospects;
we have paid Kerogen Resources $550,000 of such amount. As of March 31, 2005,
we
have not leased or developed of any properties pursuant to this
agreement.
Fourth,
Calibre held a promissory note issued by Kerogen Resources. The principal owed
pursuant to the note was $300,000 and it did bear interest at the rate of 6.25%
per annum. The principal of this note and accrued interest thereon was due
and
payable in a single installment on the maturity date. The maturity date was
the
earlier of September 30, 2006 or the date on which Kerogen Resources received
gross proceeds of at least $6,000,000 from a sale of equity, in one or more
transactions. Calibre acquired the note from Mr. Tomlinson in October 2005
in
exchange for a payment of $300,000. This note was entered into by Mr. Tomlinson,
a founder of Calibre Energy, in anticipation of the formation of Calibre Energy.
After the incorporation of Calibre Energy, the company entered into agreements
with Kerogen for the purpose of identification, exploration
and development of prospects in the Fort Worth Basin
and
Williston Basin. The Reichmann Petroleum Project and South Fort Worth Basin
project are projects identified by these agreements. On March 24, 2006, Kerogen
Resources repaid $314,623.29, the full amount of the promissory note and all
interest due. The note in the amount of $300,000 was paid on March 24, 2006
together with interest in the amount of $14,623.29.
On
March
24, 2006, we loaned $350,000 to Standard Drilling, Inc. pursuant to a loan
bearing interest at 4% per annum. On April 7, 2006 Standard Drilling, Inc.
repaid us $350,544.54, the full amount of the loan with all interest due. Mr.
Tomlinson, our President, controls a limited liability company that, at the
time
of the loan, owned 53% of Standard Drilling, Inc. Further,
Standard Drilling’s principal officers also serve as officers of Calibre.
Several
of
our officers, including our President and CFO, are also employed as officers
and/or directors of Standard Drilling, Inc., a company engaged in the business
of drilling services. Serving as an officer and/or director for both companies
limits the amount of time available to be devoted by them to managing our
business. On average such officers devote approximately 35 hours per week
to
each company; however the actual amount devoted to managing either company
fluctuates from week to week depending upon the needs and activities of
each
company. We do not believe that the dual employment of our officers, and
the
resulting potential limitations on available time, has negatively affected
our
business. As our business develops, we anticipate engaging additional
management.
The
dual
obligations also create a risk of a conflict of interest for those officers.
We
intend to appoint two or more new directors who will be independent directors.
To the extent conflicts of interest do arise, we intend to have future
conflicts
of interest reviewed and resolved by special board committee made up of
independent directors. We are in the process of identifying individuals
who may
serve as independent directors.
We
anticipate engaging Standard Drilling to provide us with drilling services.
The
terms of any such engagement will be reviewed and approved or rejected
by the
special committee of independent directors. We expect the terms of any
such
agreement to be no less favorable to us than those terms which may have
been
obtained from unrelated third parties. When appropriate, we will obtain
competing bids from other drilling service companies, and may engage them
to
provide drilling services.
We
share
facilities and some overhead costs with Standard Drilling in Washington
D.C. and
are
finalizing a service agreement pursuant to which
Standard Drilling will
pay
us for
office space and supplies, secretarial services and any other services
we
provide to them in sharing the Washington D.C. office space. The average
monthly
payment by Standard Drilling to us under the services agreement is expected
to
be approximately $20,000. The services agreement may be terminated by either
party on 30 days notice.
We
believe
all of the transactions with related parties have been on terms no less
favorable to us than those terms which may have been obtained from unrelated
third parties.
In
addition, Mr. O. Oliver Pennington, our Chief Financial Officer, is our
President’s son-in-law.
