Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information included in this report, other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company contain or incorporate by reference certain forward looking statements (other than statements of historical or present fact) within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
All statements, other than statements of historical or present facts, that address activities, events, outcomes or developments that the Company plans, expects, believes, assumes, budgets, predicts, forecasts, estimates, projects, intends or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Such forward-looking statements appear in a number of places and include statements with respect to, among other things, such matters as: future capital, development and exploration expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), drilling, deepening or refracing of wells, oil and natural gas reserve estimates (including estimates of future net revenues associated with such reserves and the present value of such future net revenues), estimates of future production of oil and natural gas, business strategies, expansion and growth of the Company's operations, cash flow and anticipated liquidity, prospects and development and property acquisitions, obtaining financial or industry partners for prospect or program development, or marketing of oil and natural gas. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks include but are not limited to: general economic conditions, the Company's ability to finance acquisitions and drilling, the market price of oil and natural gas, the risks associated with exploration, the Company's ability to find, acquire, market, develop and produce new properties, operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business, uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and timing of development expenditures, the strength and financial resources of the Company's competitors, the Company's ability to find and retain skilled personnel, climatic conditions, labor relations, availability and cost of material and equipment, environmental risks, the results of financing efforts, regulatory developments and the other risks described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and the interpretation of that data by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, these revisions could change the schedule of any further production and/or development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates are generally different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described above or elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We specifically disclaim all responsibility to publicly update any information contained in a forward-looking statement or any forward-looking statement in its entirety and therefore disclaim any resulting liability for potentially related damages.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Preparation
The condensed financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 in this report have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect, in the opinion of the management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the operations of the interim periods presented herein. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures presented herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which report has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Annual Report is available from the Company's website at www.croff.com, and online at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov/edgar.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Croff Enterprises, Inc. ("Croff' or the "Company") was incorporated in Utah in 1907. Croff is an independent energy company engaged in the business of oil and natural gas exploration and production, primarily through the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas leases as well as the ownership of perpetual mineral interests. Other companies operate almost all of the wells from which Croff receives revenues and Croff has no control over the factors which determine royalty or working interest revenues, such as markets, prices and rates of production. Today, Croff participates as a working interest owner in approximately 40 wells or units of several wells. Croff holds small royalty interests in approximately 212 wells.
Croff's business strategy is focused on targeting opportunities that are of lower risk with the potential for stable cash flow and long asset life while seeking to keep operating costs low. The Company has no short-term or long-term debt outstanding. Over the last six years, the Company acquired an interest in three wells in Michigan, one well in Montana, six wells in Oklahoma and nine wells in Texas. In 2004, the Company sold its Yorktown Re-entry Program to Tempest Energy Resources LP, retaining a 25% interest in the Area of Mutual Interest (AMI). The first re-entry well in this program was unsuccessful. The Company has since participated as a 25% working interest owner and a 20% working interest owner in completed wells in the Yorktown program.
During the last 12 months, the Company has been involved in seeking strategic alternatives to its previous business. On April 8, 2005, the Company announced that it would seek such strategic alternatives in order to enhance shareholder value and liquidity. Beginning in June and being completed in August 2005, shareholders received a tender offer for their Preferred B shares from private companies owned by the Company's President and Chairman. Following the tender offer, the President and his affiliated companies own approximately 67% of the outstanding Preferred B shares of the Company. The Company continues to engage in negotiations intended to create more value and liquidity for its shareholders. There is no assurance these negotiations will be successful.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operation are based upon 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 the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The Company analyzes its estimates, including those related to oil and natural gas revenues, oil and natural gas properties, marketable securities, income taxes and contingencies.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements and the uncertainties that it could impact results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows. The Company accounts for its oil and natural gas properties under the successful efforts method of accounting. Depletion, depreciation and amortization of oil and natural gas properties and the periodic assessments for impairment are based on underlying oil and natural gas reserve estimates and future cash flows using then current oil and natural gas prices combined with operating and capital development costs. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. Historically, oil and natural gas prices have experienced significant fluctuations and have been particularly volatile in recent years. Price fluctuations can result from variations in weather, levels of regional or national production and demand, availability of transportation capacity to other regions of the country and various other factors. Increases or decreases in oil and natural gas prices received could have a significant impact on future results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2006, the Company had assets of $1,548,535 and current assets totaled $803,295 compared to current liabilities of $116,114. Working capital at March 31, 2006 totaled $687,181, an increase of 10% compared to $625,862 at December 31, 2005. The Company had a current ratio at March 31, 2006 of approximately 7:1. During the three month period ended March 31, 2006, net cash provided by operations totaled $80,054, as compared to $106,992 for the same period in 2005. This decrease was due to higher operating expenses and income taxes in 2006. The Company's cash flow from operations is highly dependent on oil and natural gas prices. The Company had no short-term or long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2006. In December, 2005, the Company purchased 16,156 shares of its common stock at a cost of $24,643, which is included in the treasury at March 31, 2006.
Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2006, totaled $10,454 incurred to pay for costs in the Dixel Gips well in Dewitt County, Texas. As of March 31, 2006, the Company has capitalized approximately $210,000 related to the 2004 Yorktown Re-Entry Program. The Company's oil and natural gas assets in the Yorktown Re-Entry Program in Dewitt County, Texas are assets not owned by the Preferred B shareholders, but belong to the Company's common shareholders. The Company has not incurred any substantial cash expenditures for assets in the first quarter due to high prices for asset acquisition. The Company has commitments to participate in small fractional amounts in wells in Utah and Wyoming. The Company intends to spend additional capital in Dewitt County, Texas.
The Company's plans for ongoing development, acquisition and exploration expenditures, and possible equity repurchases over and beyond the Company's operating cash flows will depend entirely on the Company's ability to secure acceptable financing, and reasonably priced opportunities. Bank borrowings may be utilized to finance the Company's 2006 capital budget. In addition, the Company will utilize its internal operating cash flows. Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of production and oil and natural gas prices. There can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain planned levels of capital expenditures or that increased capital expenditures will not be undertaken.
The Company believes that borrowings from financial institutions, projected operating cash flows and the cash on hand will be sufficient to cover its working capital requirements for the next 12 months. In connection with consummating any significant acquisition or funding an exploratory or development drilling program, additional debt or equity financing will be required, which may or may not be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
7
While certain costs are affected by the general level of inflation, factors unique to the oil and natural gas industry result in independent price fluctuations. Over the past five years, significant fluctuations have occurred in oil and natural gas prices. Although it is particularly difficult to estimate future prices of oil and natural gas, price fluctuations have had, and will continue to have, a material effect on the Company. Overall, it is management's belief that inflation is generally favorable to the Company since it does not have significant operating expenses.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to three months ended March 31, 2005.
The Company had a net income for the first quarter of 2006 which totaled $57,806 compared to a net income of $76,153 for the same period in 2005. The drop in income in 2006 was due to much higher lease operating expenses and higher general and administrative expenses, especially for accounting, legal, and corporate governance expenses. These higher general and administrative expenses are incident to ongoing review of proposals with regard to restructuring of the Company.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $232,732, a 20% increase from the same period in 2005. Oil and natural gas sales for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $226,074, a 25% increase from the same period in 2005. Increased oil and natural gas prices, combined with slight increases in production levels during the first quarter of 2006, were the factors causing this increase in oil and natural gas sales compared to the same period in 2005. The Company's average sales price of oil in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately $53 per barrel compared to $44 per barrel for the same period in 2005. The Company's average sales price of natural gas in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately $6.50 per Mcf (Mcf equates to one thousand cubic feet), compared to $5.50 per Mcf for the same period in 2005.
For the first quarter of 2006 lease operation expenses, which includes all production related taxes, totaled $65,689 compared to $46,666 incurred for the same period in 2005. This increase was due to higher production or severance taxes, and overall higher oilfield costs as service companies increased their fees.
Estimated depreciation and depletion expense for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $12,500 and for 2005, totaled $10,500.
General and administrative expense, including overhead expense paid to a related party, for the first quarter of 2006, totaled $79,270 compared to $53,260 for the same period in 2005. Overhead expense paid to a related party for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $16,318 compared to $12,000 in 2005. The Company has incurred additional costs during the first quarter of 2006 associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Other higher expenses were for legal and accounting, all of which increased substantially in the first quarter of 2006.
Provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $16,000 compared to $7,850 from the same period in 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in net income for the quarter, which also results in a higher tax bracket.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion ("APB") No. 20, "Accounting Changes", and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changed the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 will apply to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, SFAS No. 154 requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial condition).
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's major market risk exposure is in crude oil and natural gas prices. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing domestic price for oil and natural gas. Historically, prices received for oil and natural gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is expected to continue. Natural gas price realizations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, ranged from a monthly low of approximately $5.50 per Mcf to a monthly high of approximately $12 per Mcf. Oil prices ranged from a monthly low of approximately $45 per barrel to a monthly high of approximately $63 per barrel. A decline in prices of oil or natural gas could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, a 10% reduction in oil and natural gas prices would have reduced revenues by approximately $22,500.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer who also serves as Acting Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer concluded that as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure control and procedures are effective in alerting them to material information that is required to be included in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financials Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

(b) The following reports on Form 8-K were filed by Registrant during the quarter ended March 31, 2006**:
The Company filed a current report on Form 8-K on March 31, 2005 to announce that Causey Demgen and Moore, who had served as the Company's independent certified accountants since 1987, declined to stand for re-appointment due to restrictions imposed by section 208(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that prohibit partners on the audit engagement team from providing audit services to the issuer for more than five consecutive years and from returning to audit services with the same issuer within five years. There was no disagreement with this firm on any accounting principles or practices. On April 12, 2006, Croff filed an amended 8-KA reporting this event. Both versions also contained the engagement of Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C. as the Company's new independent public accounting firm.
