**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

 

**September 30, 2004**

**(Unaudited)**

 

**Note1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies**

** **

**Organization and Basis of Presentation**

 

Navidec, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Navidec” or the “Company”), was incorporated in 1993.  On September 10, 2004, the Company consummated a merger (the “Merger”) with BPZ Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation (“BPZ”) through the issuance of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock and certain other terms and consideration as more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  As a result of the Merger, the shareholders of the acquired company, BPZ, received the majority of the voting interests and control of the Board of Directors of the combined entity.  Accordingly, BPZ was deemed to be the acquiring company for financial reporting purposes and the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger.  The historical financial statements of the Company are the historical financial statements of BPZ.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company committed to spin off all pre-Merger operations, assets and liabilities of Navidec, Inc. (with the exception of the net proceeds of a private placement of common stock as more fully described in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) into a separate corporation, Navidec Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), to be distributed to the shareholders of record on September 9, 2004, which record date is prior to consummation of the Merger.  Accordingly, the former shareholders of BPZ will not be entitled to receive shares of NFS.  As of September 30, 2004, NFS was still a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  However, all legal requirements for the spin-off of NFS have been completed except for certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the final distribution of common shares of NFS to the pre-Merger shareholders.  Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Navidec elected to treat the spin-off for accounting purposes as if it had been consummated prior to September 30, 2004 and the consolidated financial statements of the Company exclude all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NFS.  The Company is continuing to take steps necessary to consummate the spin-off of NFS, but cannot predict when this process will be completed.

 

Withthe exception of NFS, the consolidated financial statements include theaccounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BPZ and SMC Ecuador,Inc.  BPZ also has a registered Peruvianbranch office which operates under the name, “BPZ Energy, Inc. Sucursal Peru”.  All intercompany balances and transactionshave been eliminated.

 

Managementuses estimates and assumptions in preparing the consolidated financialstatements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited States of America.  Thoseestimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements, and thedisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from theseestimates.  The consolidated financialstatements included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit,pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and ExchangeCommission.  They reflect all adjustmentswhich are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation ofthe financial position and results of operations for the interim periods, on abasis consistent with the annual audited financial statements.  All such adjustments are of a normalrecurring nature.  Certain informationand footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stateshave been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The consolidated balance sheet at December 31,2003 is derived from the December 31, 2003 audited consolidated financialstatements.  These interim financialstatements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financialstatements and notes

theretoincluded in previous filings.  Theresults of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of theresults to be expected for the full year.

 

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

 

The Company considers cash on hand, cash ondeposit in banks, money market mutual funds and highly liquid debt instrumentspurchased with a maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

 

**Concentrations ofCredit Risk**

** **

The Company maintains cash balances at twofinancial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insuredlimits.  The Company has not experiencedany losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to anysignificant credit risks on such accounts.

 

**Impairment ofLong-Lived Assets**

 

TheCompany periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of itslong-lived assets and identifiable intangibles by monitoring and evaluatingchanges in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of theasset may not be recoverable.  Examplesof events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the recoverability of thecarrying amount of an asset should be assessed include but are not limited tothe following:  a significant decrease inthe market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or matter inwhich an asset is used or a significant physical change in an asset, asignificant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate thatcould affect the value of an asset or an adverse action or assessment by aregulator, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amountoriginally expected to acquire or construct an asset, and/or a current periodoperating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flowlosses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing lossesassociated with an asset used for the purpose of producing revenue.

 

TheCompany considers historical performance and anticipated future results in itsevaluation of potential impairment.  Accordingly, when indicators or impairment arepresent, the Company evaluates the carrying value of these assets in reactionto the operating performance of the business and future discounted and non-discountedcash flows expected to result from the use of these assets.  Impairment losses are recognized when theexpected future cash flows from an asset are less its carrying value.

 

**Stock Based Compensation**

 

Aspermitted under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company accounts for itsstock-based compensation for options issued to employees in accordance with theprovisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for StockIssued to Employees” (“APB 25”).  Assuch, for options granted to employees and directors, compensation expense isrecorded on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period that theservices are provided or the vesting period, only if the current market priceof the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.  Certain pro forma net income and earnings pershare disclosures for employee stock option grants are also included in thenotes to the financial statements as if the fair value method as defined inSFAS 123 had been applied.  Transactionsin equity instruments with non-employees for goods or services are accountedfor by the fair value method.

 

**Income Taxes**

 

TheCompany accounts for income taxes using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets andliabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reportingand tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted taxrates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected toreverse.  Valuation allowances areestablished when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expectedto be realized.

**Environmental**

 

TheCompany is subject to environmental laws and regulations of variousinternational, U.S. and local jurisdictions. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge ofmaterials into the environment and may require the Company to remove ormitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum orchemical substances at various sites.

 

Environmentalcosts that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized asappropriate.  Costs are expensed whenthey relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and will notcontribute to current or future revenue generation.  Liabilities related to environmentalassessments and/or remedial efforts are accrued when property or services areprovided or can be reasonably estimated.

 

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

 

InJanuary 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  The objective of this interpretation is toprovide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) anddetermine when the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and resultsof operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidatedfinancial statements.  A company thatholds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate the entity ifthe company’s interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb amajority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receive a majority of the entity’sexpected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries andother significant variable interest holders. The provisions of this interpretation became effective upon issuance.

 

InDecember 2003, the FASB issued a revised Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,replacing the original Interpretation issued in January 2003.  The revised Interpretation provides guidanceon when certain entities should be consolidated or the interests in thoseentities should be disclosed by enterprises that do not control them throughmajority voting interest.  Under therevised Interpretation, entities are required to be consolidated by enterprisesthat lack majority voting interest when equity investors of those entities haveinsignificant capital at risk or they lack voting rights, the obligation toabsorb expected losses, or the right to receive expected returns.  Entities identified with thesecharacteristics are called variable interest entities and the interests thatenterprises have in these entities are called variable interests.  These interests can derive from certainguarantees, leases, loans or other arrangements that result in risks andrewards that are disproportionate to the voting interests in the entities.  The provisions of the revised Interpretationmust be immediately applied for variable interest

entitiescreated after January 31, 2003 and for variable interests in entitiescommonly referred to as “special purpose entities.”  For all other variable interest entities,implementation is required by March 31, 2004.  The Company has no VIE’s thus theimplementation of this Statement has no current effect.

 

InMay 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accountingfor Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities andEquity.  SFAS No. 150 requiresthat an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as aliability.  Many   of  those instruments were previously classified as equity, such as commonor preferred shares that embody an unconditional obligation requiring theissuer to redeem the shares by transferring its assets at a specified date orupon an event that is certain to occur. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for the first fiscalperiod beginning after December 15, 2004.

 

InJuly 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies SFASNo. 133, Accounting for DerivativeInstruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 improves financial reporting of derivatives by requiringcontracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly.  This Statement also incorporatesclarifications of the definition of a derivative.  SFAS No. 149 is effective for contractsentered into or modified after June 30, 2003.

 

Managementdoes not believe that the implementation of any of these new pronouncementswill have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

**Note 2 – Merger and Merger Costs**

 

As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, pursuant to a merger agreement dated as of July 8, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), BPZ became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company effective September 10, 2004.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Navidec, Inc. issued 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the shareholders of BPZ and committed to issue an additional 18,000,000 shares to the shareholders of BPZ on a contingent earn-out basis if BPZ is able to achieve certain proven reserve and production goals.  Such contingent earn-out shares can only be issued after the shareholders have approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company.  As a result of the issuance of the 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the shareholders of BPZ, the former shareholders of BPZ acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

 

The Merger Agreement also provided that all of the pre-Merger business operations, assets and liabilities of the Company be transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Navidec Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), to be followed by the spin-off of NFS to the shareholders of record as of September 9, 2004.

 

With the exclusion of NFS, the only asset of Navidec, Inc. at the date of the reverse merger was cash in the amount of $2,882,689.  This cash represented the net proceeds received prior to the closing of the Merger from the Private Placement discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  Accordingly, the issuance of 4,742,178 common shares which were deemed for accounting purposes to have been issued by BPZ to the pre-Merger shareholders of Navidec, Inc. was treated as a capital transaction in exchange for the net cash received in the Merger.

 

The Merger Agreement also contained certain other key terms, which are summarized below:

 

1)              BPZ, as the accounting acquirer, assumed options to purchase 1,332,076 shares of Navidec, Inc. common stock, which had previously been issued to employees, directors and consultants of Navidec, Inc. and were outstanding on the date of the Merger.  These options have exercise prices ranging from $1.30 to $2.00 per share.  Such options were fully vested upon consummation of the Merger and may be exercised by the optionees at any time prior to September 10, 2007.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all proceeds received from the

exercise of these stock options will be payable to NFS.  As such, BPZ will be obligated to issue up to 1,332,076 additional shares but will not receive any cash proceeds from such issuances.

 

2)              BPZ, as the accounting acquirer, assumed outstanding warrants to purchase 1,129,000 shares of Navidec, Inc. common stock.  Of such warrants, 564,500 shares have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and 564,500 shares have an exercise price of $4.00 per share.  All of such warrants expire on August 31, 2005.  The proceeds of such warrants, if and when exercised, will be received by BPZ.

 

3)              BPZ, as the accounting acquirer, issued 604,246 shares of common stock in the Merger to NFS.

 

4)              In connection with the Merger, BPZ entered into a Business Consulting Agreement with NFS under which NFS will provide investor relations, public relations and other financial advisory services to BPZ.  Under this agreement, BPZ is obligated to pay NFS fees of $30,000 per month for period of twelve months ending on July 31, 2005.  Such agreement is cancelable upon thirty days notice at any time after October 31, 2004.  Additionally, BPZ agreed to grant to NFS fully vested warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Navidec, Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share at any time prior to July 31, 2006.

 

5)              In connection with the Merger and the Private Placement (as discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), BPZ granted options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Navidec, Inc. common stock to John R. McKowen, who was the Chief Executive Officer of Navidec, Inc. prior to the Merger, at an exercise price of $1.30 per share.  Of such option shares, 500,000 became vested upon the closing of the Private Placement with gross proceeds of at least $6,000,000.  The remaining 500,000 option shares will vest upon the receipt of additional investment proceeds totaling $6,000,000, including proceeds from the exercise of outstanding warrants, provided such funding is received no later than September 10, 2006.  Such options, when vested, expire 10 years from the date of grant.

 

6)              In connection with the Merger and/or financial advisory services prior to the Merger, BPZ and Navidec, Inc. issued 700,000 shares of common stock as compensation for services.

 

7)              Prior to the Merger, BPZ issued 2,357,642 shares of common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of BPZ Energy, Inc. as compensation for past services to BPZ Energy, Inc. and BPZ & Associates, Inc.

 

The above transactions were deemed to be costs of the Merger, and resulted in a charge to the income statement which is summarized below.  For valuation purposes, all stock options and warrants were measured by the Black Scholes method utilizing market prices on the date of grant or assumption and historical volatilities of Navidec, Inc. common stock.  All of such options and warrants were required to be accounted for under SFAS 123 as they did not qualify for treatment under APB 25.  All common shares issued prior to the Merger were valued at the closing price of Navidec, Inc. common stock on the date of the Merger Agreement and all common shares which were issued on the effective date of the Merger were valued at the closing price of Navidec, Inc. common stock on such date.

**Note 3 – Reorganization of BPZ Energy, Inc. and BPZ& Associates, Inc.**

 

Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement on July 8,2004, BPZ Energy, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of BPZ & Associates,Inc.  Immediately prior to the date ofthe Merger Agreement, BPZ & Associates, Inc. reorganized its capitalstructure to distribute shares of BPZ Energy, Inc. to certain shareholders ofBPZ & Associates, Inc. and to provide that BPZ Energy, Inc. would forgivethe obligation for intercompany advances, which totaled $1,052,328 prior to theMerger.  This reorganization is reflectedas a capital transaction in the accompanying financial statements.

 

**Note 4 – Investment in SMC Ecuador and Notes Payable**

 

During June 2004,the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the common stock ofSMC Ecuador.  The sole asset of SMCEcuador is a 10% non-operated interest in a producing oil and gas field inEcuador.  In order to finance theacquisition of this investment, the Company entered into a debt arrangementwith an individual who provided $1,375,000 of debt financing at an interestrate of 15%.  The proceeds of the debtfinancing were used to pay for the cost of the acquisition of $1,070,000 plus$69,670 of transaction costs.  Theremainder of the borrowings, or $235,330, was used for general corporate purposes.  In addition to the interest rate, the lenderhas the right to receive a 40% net profits interest in the oil and gasproperties owned by SMC Ecuador. Accordingly, 40% of the acquisition cost, or $428,000 is considered asadditional financing costs.

 

Effective September 29,2004, the Company entered into an agreement to convert $1,000,000 of theprincipal balance of this note payable, plus $20,529 of accrued interest, into500,000 shares of common stock.  Theremaining balance of the note payable, or $293,136 as of September 30,2004 will be payable in 10 equal monthly installments with interest imputed at15%.

 

The Company’saccounting policy regarding partnership or joint venture interests in oil andgas properties is to consolidate such interests on a pro-rata basis inaccordance with accepted practice in the oil and gas industry.  However, the Company has not been able toreceive timely information to allow it to fully consolidate the smallnon-operated working interest owned by SMC Ecuador, which is effectively a 6%net working interest.  Accordingly, theCompany has made an election to account for this investment under the costmethod.  As such, the Company will recordits share of cash received or paid attributable to this investment as otherincome or expense.

 

###### **Note5 – Long-Term Debt**

###### ** **

At December 31, 2003, the Company hadlong-term debt of $755,000, consisting of two unsecured notes payable toindividuals.  Both notes had similar terms,bearing interest at 7%, with payments of interest due on a monthly basis andthe principal balance due at maturity in February 2006.  During 2004, the Company made additional borrowings of $520,000 underterms similar to the previous borrowings. Of such amount, $240,000 was used to replace previous borrowings.  Prior to the Merger, all of the outstanding long-termdebt obligations of the Company, totaling $1,035,000, were converted to commonstock under negotiated agreements.  There was no long-term debt outstandingat September 30, 2004.

**Private Placement of Common Stock**

 

In connection with the Merger, Navidec, Inc. began marketing a private placement of common stock on July 24, 2004.  The private placement proceeds are intended to be used to develop the oil and gas properties of BPZ Energy, Inc., to acquire new properties and for general corporate purposes.  The offering covered a minimum of 1,500,000 shares and a maximum of 3,000,000 shares at an offering price of $2.00 per share before placement agent fees and other offering costs.  It was a requirement that the offering achieve at least the minimum number of shares prior to consummation of the Merger.

 

As of September 10, 2004, Navidec, Inc. had received gross cash proceeds of $3,357,000 ($2,882,689 net of offering costs) from the sale of 1,678,500 shares of common stock in the private placement and the Merger was consummated.  Subsequent to the consummation of the Merger, the Company placed the remaining 1,321,500 shares for gross cash proceeds of $2,643,000 ($2,534,118 net of offering costs).

 

As of September 30, 2004, the private placement had been closed at $6,000,000 of total gross proceeds.  However, certain of the final cash proceeds were in transit with the escrow agent pending disbursement to the Company.  Accordingly, the final net cash proceeds of $1,669,870 from the private placement are included on the accompanying balance sheet as a current receivable due from the escrow agent and was collected in cash on October 6, 2004.

However,the Company does not receive any of the proceeds from the exercise of thesestock options, but is obligated to issue the shares.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, NFSis entitled to receive all proceeds from the exercise of these options.

**Organization and Basis of Presentation**

 

Navidec, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Navidec” or the “Company”), was incorporated in 1993.  On September 10, 2004, the Company consummated a merger (the “Merger”) with BPZ Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation (“BPZ”) through the issuance of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock and certain other terms and consideration as more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company is also committed to issue a maximum of 18,000,000 additional shares to the previous shareholders of BPZ on a contingent earn-out basis if BPZ is able to achieve certain proven reserve and production goals.  Such contingent earn-out shares, if earned, cannot be issued until the shareholders have approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company.

 

As a result of the Merger, the shareholders of the acquired company, BPZ, received the majority of the voting interests and control of the Board of Directors of the combined entity.  Accordingly, BPZ was deemed to be the acquiring company for financial reporting purposes and the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger.  The historical financial statements of the Company are the historical financial statements of BPZ.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company committed to spin off all pre-Merger operations, assets and liabilities of Navidec, Inc. (with the exception of the net proceeds of a private placement of common stock as more fully described in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) into a separate corporation, Navidec Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), to be distributed to the shareholders of record on September 9, 2004, which record date is prior to consummation of the Merger.  Accordingly, the former shareholders of BPZ will not be entitled to receive shares of NFS.  As of September 30, 2004, NFS was still a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  However, all legal requirements for the spin-off of NFS have been completed except for certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the final distribution of common shares of NFS to the pre-Merger shareholders.  Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Navidec elected to treat the spin-off for accounting purposes as if it had been consummated prior to September 30, 2004 and the consolidated financial statements of the Company exclude all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of NFS.  The Company is continuing to take steps necessary to consummate the spin-off of NFS, but cannot predict when this process will be completed.

 

**Business of the Company**

 

BPZ was established in 2001 as an oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) company.  BPZ is headquartered in Houston, Texas and has a fully staffed office in Lima, Peru.  BPZ’s business is to develop, own and operate prospects and energy projects in South America.  Currently, BPZ has exclusive rights and licensing agreements for oil and gas exploration and production covering a total approximately

2.76 million acres in four basins of NW Peru, owns a non-operating interest in production in SW Ecuador, is in the process of negotiating marketing agreements for gas sales with several power companies in the region, and is seeking to acquire additional oil producing properties with upside potential in these two countries, as well as in other areas of Venezuela.

 

**BPZ’s Current Property Interests in Peru**

 

BPZ has expanded its exploration base in NW Peru by acquiring a 100% interest in Block XIX, Block Z1, and Areas XVI and VI, located in the adjacent basins of Tumbes, Talara, and Lancones.  These four blocks occupy a combined area of approximately 1.1 million hectares approximately 2.76 million acres).  BPZ has exercised its preferential right to increase its original minority participation under the License Contract for the Z-1 Block to 100%, subject to final Peruvian agency approval.

**Employees**

 

As of September 30, 2004 BPZ employed 10 full-time employees (of which 3 are executive officers) and 4 part-time employees.  BPZ believes that its relationship with its employees is satisfactory. None of the employees are represented by a union.

 

**Facilities**

 

BPZ leases offices at 11999 Katy Freeway, Suite 560, Houston, Texas consisting of approximately 4,000 square feet.  The Company also maintains a small office at Av. Canaval y Moreyra 425, Office #81, San Isidro, Lima 27, Peru.

 

**Results ofOperations**

 

The Company is in the earlystage of developing its properties in Peru and does not currently have anyproduction or revenues from these properties. Its operations to date have been limited to technical evaluation of theproperties and the design of development plans to exploit the oil and gasresources on those properties.

 

Our expenses to date haveconsisted principally of geological, geophysical and engineering costs as wellas general and administrative costs. These costs have increased significantly in 2004 from the levels during2003 as the activity levels of the Company have increased.  We expect them to continue to increase as weproceed with our development plans.  

 

In connection with the Merger,we recorded a charge in the amount of $16.3 million.  This charge is discussed in detail in Note 2of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

**Liquidityand Capital Resources**

 

Prior to the Merger, theCompany primarily used debt financing to fund its operations.  In connection with the Merger, the Companyreceived total net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million from a privateplacement of its common stock.  TheCompany believes that these funds will be adequate to allow it to meet itscommitments and assure its continued operations for at least the next twelvemonths.  However, the Company willrequire additional financing in order to develop its properties and beginproducing commercially significant revenues. The Company may seek to fund these activities with either debt or equityfinancing, or some combination thereof. The Company will be dependent on the capital markets for these funds andthere can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts tosecure such additional capital.

**Item 3.  Cont****rols and Procedures**

 

Prior to the completion of the reverse merger, BPZ Energy, Inc. was a private company and lacked many of the accounting procedures and disclosure controls necessary to operate effectively as a public company in the current regulatory environment.  The Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Thomas E. Kelly, is currently serving as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  Mr. Kelly is not a certified public accountant, nor does the Company currently have any full-time employees or officers who possess the training and experience typically expected of the Chief Accounting Officer or Chief Financial Officer of a public company.  Mr. Kelly, in conjunction with the Company’s accounting and legal advisors, has reviewed the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are not adequate to ensure that (i) all material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to him by individuals within those entities, including during the period in which this report was being prepared, and (ii) that all material information required to be disclosed in its SEC reports is consistently recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

In light of the deficiencies and weaknesses identified in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as discussed above, the Company engaged various consultants to assist it in preparing the financial statements for the periods contained in this report and Mr. Kelly and the Board of Directors have concluded, to the best of their knowledge and belief, that the financial information and disclosures contained in this report are complete and accurate.

 

Further, the Company is in the process of hiring additional personnel and engaging additional consultants to assist it in taking the necessary corrective actions to establish and/or improve the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries will be made known to it by individuals within those entities, and that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

**Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls**

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resources constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

 

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

The offering raised a total of $6,000,000 in gross proceeds through the sale of 3,000,000 common shares at a price of $2.00 per share to a total of 5% accredited investors.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to develop its existing oil and gas properties, to acquire new properties, and for general working capital purposes, as management deems appropriate.  The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $5,640,000 after deducting placement agent fees of $360,000.

 

The shares of common stock issued during the period were exempted from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
