ITEM
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
We
are an
independent exploration and production company focused on the acquisition,
exploitation, development and sale of crude oil and natural gas, in Irbil
Province of Kurdistan, Iraq, in the Barnett Shale in Texas and the Fayetteville
Shale in Arkansas.
We
are a
Nevada corporation, headquartered in Washington, DC and Houston, Texas. Our
predecessor company for financial reporting purposes was formed on August 17,
2005.
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. We also have an operations office at Ashford VI, 1155 Dairy
Ashford South, Fifth Floor, Houston, TX 77079. Our website is www.calibreenergy.com.
Business
Strategy
We
intend
to expand and develop our exploration and production business and reserves
by
focusing on the exploration of the Bina Bawi Project in Kurdistan, Iraq and
on
our projects in the Barnett and Fayetteville Shale. We have a
10% participating interest in the Bina Bawi Exploration and Production
Sharing Agreement with the Kurdish Regional Government in Kurdistan, Iraq,
pursuant to a joint operating agreement with Hawler Energy, Ltd. and A&T
Petroleum Company, Ltd.
Our
management has industry experience in many international producing areas and
has
the capability to continue to expand the scope of our activities as
opportunities arise. Key elements of our ultimate success include our ability
to
select opportunities that will promote value creation, to form strategic
alliances with influential local partners in certain prolific hydrocarbon
regions, to develop our potential as an operator of our future projects, and
as
a non-operator to develop a close association with the operating companies
for
our projects and to maintain a certain degree of control over the timing,
expense levels and execution of our projects.
In
October of 2005, we commenced our activities by focusing on shale gas
opportunities in the Barnett Shale and the Fayetteville Shale. We are currently
participating in three projects with Kerogen Resources, Inc., a privately held
exploration and production company located in Houston, Texas. The projects
are
the Reichmann Petroleum project, the South Ft. Worth Basin project and the
Williston Basin project. In November 2006, we withdrew
from any
further participation in additional leasing or development activities
with Kerogen Resources in the South Ft. Worth Basin project.
On
December 8, 2006, Reichmann Petroleum filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection. All development activity on this joint venture with Reichmann has
ceased pending the resolution of legal claims. To date, revenues from this
project have been netted against capital and operating expenditures. As a result
of the bankruptcy, our net share of working interest production owed to us
is
expected to be paid into a separate account under the control of the bankruptcy
court. However, if our share of working interest production is withheld in
this
account for a significant time into the future, such withholding could then
have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and our
operations.
As
of
December 31, 2006, we had estimated proved reserves of 1.659 MMcf with expected
future cash flows before taxes discounted at 10% of approximately $3.4 million
(see reconciliation of the PV-10 non-GAAP financial measure to the standardized
measure under Reserves on page 7).
During
2006, we invested approximately $15.1 million in capital expenditures related
to
exploration and development, $10.8 million on our domestic projects and $4.3
million on our international project. For 2007, we have budgeted approximately
$4.0 million for ongoing exploration and development of our existing projects.
We
expect
to fund our capital expenditures for 2007 through funds made available through
our recent $5.0 million private placement of Series A Preferred Stock.
In
addition, we intend to selectively pursue additional interests and to evaluate
acquisition opportunities in our core areas of focus. We may also choose to
divest non-core assets and properties to fund any additional
investments.
Our
Projects
Currently,
we hold non-operating interests in all of our projects. 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. Currently we do not have the
capability to act as an operator as additional legal, drilling, completion
and
overseas personnel would be required for us to expand our operations and to
act
as an operator. However, in the future we may seek to operate wells or seek
a
degree of control over operations in projects in which we own an interest as
we
believe that by controlling operations, we may 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.
Bina
Bawi Project
On
September 13, 2006, we entered into a Novation and Amendment Agreement
(“Novation Agreement”) among Hawler Energy, Ltd. (“Hawler Energy”), a Cayman
Islands company, A & T Petroleum Company, Ltd. (“A&T”), a Cayman Islands
company, and Hillwood Energy, Ltd. (“Hillwood”), a Cayman Islands company.
Pursuant to the Novation Agreement, we became parties to the Exploration and
Production Sharing Agreement (“the EPSA”) dated March 29, 2006 between A&T,
Hawler Energy and the Oil and Gas Petroleum Establishment of the Kurdistan
Regional Government (the “OGE”). Our admission as a party to the EPSA is subject
to the approval of the OGE. We have applied to
the
OGE for such approval.
The
Bina
Bawi structure is a 30 kilometer by 10 kilometer surface anticline, which may
contain primary oil and gas reserves within the Upper Triassic reservoir
objective and secondary reserve potential in the Upper Cretaceous, Lower
Cretaceous and Jurassic sections of the structure.
Pursuant
to the terms of the EPSA, the OGE grants the other parties the right to explore
and produce oil and natural gas from certain territory that includes the Bina
Bawi. Upon receipt of the OGE’s approval of our becoming a party to the EPSA, we
will have a 10% participating interest in the wells drilled pursuant to the
EPSA. The EPSA requires the parties to conduct certain survey work, drill one
exploratory well and, if the exploratory well is determined to be sufficiently
profitable, to conduct certain seismic surveys. The total estimated cost for
all
parties in the EPSA of the initial survey work and the exploratory well is
$2.7
million; the estimated cost of the seismic surveys is approximately $4.0
million. The EPSA requires the parties thereto to pay OGE a bonus of $2.5
million upon a “Commercial Discovery,” as defined in the EPSA, and to pay other
cash bonuses and royalties upon achieving certain production levels.
For
consideration of Hawler Energy’s assignment to us of the 10% working interest
through the Novation Agreement, we have entered into a separate letter agreement
with Hawler Energy pursuant to which, we agreed to pay Hawler Energy $2 million
on execution of the letter agreement and $1 million upon completion of the
first
well under the EPSA, whether it is capable of production or a dry hole. In
addition, we agreed to pay 20% of all billings, including cash calls, made
to
Hawler Energy by A&T, as operator, after August 1, 2006 and we further
agreed to pay Hawler Energy the remaining 80% of all such billings until the
total of such payments equals $2.5 million. Upon OGE approval of the assignment
to us and payment of $2.5 million as provided in the letter agreement, we will
be obligated to pay the future costs properly payable by the holder of a 10%
participating interest in the project.
We
also
have entered into a letter agreement with Hawler Energy pursuant to which each
party grants the other party the right to participate in the next acquisition
of
any rights or interests for the exploration or production of oil and gas in
the
area of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq; provided however such area
does not include that area pursuant to which Hawler Energy has already granted
certain rights to other third parties. Pursuant to this letter agreement, we
will have the right of first refusal to obtain a 9% interest in such an
acquisition by Hawler Energy and Hawler Energy will have the right of first
refusal to obtain a 91% interest in acquisition by Calibre of rights or
interests for the exploration or production of oil and gas in the area of the
Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq.
On
February 21, 2007, we announced that the Bina Bawi 1 exploration well was at
a
depth of 3,355 meters (11,007 feet) and had completed logging the lower part
of
the hole. Earlier in the drilling of the Bina Bawi 1, oil was recovered from
the
drill string during a fishing operation from intervals in the Upper Cretaceous
at the depths of 550 to 750 meters. The Joint Venture has agreed to commence
testing to determine the productive and commercial potential of at least three
zones intersected by the well. Furthermore, the Joint Venture anticipates
drilling the Bina Bawi 2 appraisal well upon the completion of the Bina Bawi
1
in order to evaluate and test the prospective intervals in the Upper Cretaceous.
As
of
April 12, 2007, the operator had run 7-inch liner to a depth of 3,264 meters
in
preparation for the testing of the well. Although some of the completion
equipment and supplies have arrived at the well, the operator has continued
to
experience difficulties with the importation of important equipment and
supplies.
Projects
with
Kerogen Resources
We
are
currently participating in three projects with Kerogen Resources, Inc., a small,
privately held exploration and production company, located in Houston, Texas.
These are as follows:
Reichmann
Petroleum Corporation Project
In
October 2005, we entered into 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 the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Reichmann that covered 6,190
net acres of leasehold interests in Parker, Tarrant, Denton, and Johnson
Counties, Texas. We paid Kerogen Resources $3,179,660 representing lease costs,
field land costs, abstract costs, and estimated drilling costs on 11 wells.
Kerogen then paid such amounts to Reichmann Petroleum Corporation as
reimbursement of leasehold costs, drilling and operating expenses. Costs
subsequent to July 31, 2005 for the 11 wells and lease operating expenses were
invoiced under the terms of Participation Joint Venture Agreement and the Joint
Operating Agreement. Kerogen Resources provides the technical guidance for
the
project and in exchange will receive 12.5% of our working interest in each
well
drilled. We pay 14.2857% of the costs for the initial well on each prospect
and
earn 10.9375% working interest and on all subsequent wells in each prospect
we
pay 12.5% for a 10.9375% working interest.
Subsequent
to the initial acquisition, we agreed to participate with Reichmann in the
acquisition of certain leases and the drilling, testing and completion of a
well
on the Pannell Prospect in Johnson County covering 443 net acres by paying
25%
of all costs in the leases and well to earn a 21.875% working interest.
Additionally, we agreed to participate in the Pipes Prospect in Hill County,
Texas covering 128.7 acres by paying 8.5714% of drilling costs in the initial
Pipes 1-H well for a 6.75% working interest and 7.5% of the drilling costs
in
the Pipes 2-H and 3-H for a 6.75% working interest. On February 2006, we agreed
to participate in a Farm out Agreement for the Wilson Hancock 1-H well with
Reichmann Petroleum and Kerogen by paying 12.5% of drilling costs for a 9.2969%
working interest in the well.
As
of
December 31, 2006, we have paid for these projects a total of $9,118,643, which
includes the original payment of $3,179,660. We have participated in
22
gross
wells of which 12 wells are currently producing, five wells have been drilled,
completed and fraced and are waiting to be hooked up to a pipeline, and five
wells have been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting to be fraced.
“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. As of December 31, 2006, our net acreage
position subject to Reichmann agreements is 792.85 net acres.
On
December 8, 2006, Reichmann Petroleum filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection. All development activity on this joint venture with Reichmann has
ceased pending the resolution of legal claims. To date, revenues from this
project have been netted against capital and operating expenditures. As a result
of the bankruptcy, our net share of working interest production owed to us
is
expected to be paid into a separate account under the control of the bankruptcy
court. However, if our share of working interest production is withheld in
this
account for a significant time into the future, such withholding could then
have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and our
operations.
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 in Texas, including Johnson, Hill,
Somervell, Bosque and Hood counties, 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.
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. Triangle and Calibre will each
pay
30% of costs for a 27% working interest and Crosby, as operator, will pay 30%
of
costs for a 30% working interest. 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. In November 2006 we withdrew. from any additional
leasing or development activities with Kerogen Resources in the South
Ft. Worth Basin project.
As
of
December 31, 2006, Kerogen 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 $1,684,154 to Kerogen for land costs, prospect fees and for
geological and geophysical expenditures related to this project. 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 2007. We anticipate that we will commence
development activities on these leases, sell our interest in these properties
or
farm out development to a third party by the fourth quarter of 2007.
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 and for geological and geophysical data in the Williston Basin.
As
of December 31, 2006, Calibre has paid $550,000 to Kerogen Resources and the
balance is due upon the delivery of Kerogen Resources’ technical report. As of
December 31, 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 will 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 require participating parties to advance funds
for
leases or drilling. We do not anticipate participating with Kerogen Resources,
Inc. in any prospects generated in this basin in 2007.
Additional
Acreage
In
addition to the three joint venture projects with Kerogen Resources, as of
December 31, 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 either commence development activities on these
leases, sell our interest in these properties or farm out development to a
third
party by the end of the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, as of December
31,
2006, we have acquired 2,636 gross leasehold acres and 1,276 net leasehold
acres
in the Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin in Arkansas. These
leases are five years with an option for an additional five years. We anticipate
that we will make a decision of whether to commence development activities
on
these leases, sell our interest in these properties or farm out development
to a
third party by the end of 2007.
“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
December 31, 2006 we employed ten 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.
As
of
December 31, 2006, we have twelve producing wells in which we have an interest
and have recently commenced production. Our net working interest in one of
these
wells is 25%, in eight wells is 10.9375%, in two wells is 7.5%, and in one
well
is 8.57%.
The
following table presents summary data with respect to our estimated net proved
oil and natural gas reserves as of the dates indicated. 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,
2006 were based primarily on reserve reports prepared by Forrest A. Garb &
Associates, our independent reserve engineers. In preparing its reports, Forrest
A. Garb & Associates evaluated properties representing approximately 100% of
our PV-10 as of December 31, 2006. 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. All of our proven reserves
are
associated with the Reichmann Project.

We
have
interests in twelve
wells
that are currently producing, five wells that have been drilled, completed
and
fraced and are waiting to be hooked up to a pipeline, and five wells that have
been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting to be fraced.
However,
it
remains uncertain whether the five wells awaiting hookup and the five wells
awaiting fracture treatment will be completed and realize commercial production
due to the uncertainty of operations. On December 8, 2006, the operator of
the
properties in the Barnett Shale Project, Reichmann Petroleum, filed for
voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. All development activity on this
joint venture with Reichmann has ceased pending the resolution of legal claims.
Calibre’s interests in the Reichmann-operated properties are held through
Calibre’s agreement with Kerogen. To date, revenues from this project have been
netted against capital and operating expenditures. As a result of the
bankruptcy, Calibre’s net share of working interest production is expected
to
be
paid into a separate account under the control of the bankruptcy court. As
of
December 31, 2006, Calibre had an outstanding net revenue receivable balance
of
$325,000 from Kerogen related to certain wells in the Reichmann project.
Furthermore, as of December 31, 2006, Calibre had an outstanding joint interest
payable balance of approximately $1.1 million to Kerogen. As a result of
the bankruptcy, production revenue may or may not be collectible. Calibre
has petitioned the bankruptcy court and expects a resolution in the bankruptcy
court that will permit payment of Calibre’s share of working interest
production. Calibre believes it will be successful in collecting its share
of
production revenues either in cash or in production-in-kind from Reichmann
and
Kerogen. Accordingly, no allowance has been made for the
receivable.
Additionally,
Kerogen has petitioned the bankruptcy court to potentially continue with the
development of the Reichmann leases with a new operator. Calibre believes,
but
cannot provide assurance, that the bankruptcy court will resolve to permit
ongoing development operations on the project leases, however, the terms of
the
leases for the project generally require commencement of drilling operations
within the primary term of each lease. If development does not proceed as a
result of the Reichmann bankruptcy, those undeveloped and partially developed
leases in the project will terminate and Calibre will have to impair these
properties. The value of these properties is approximately $450,000 as
of
December 31, 2006. The value of capital expenditures invested to date in these
partially developed wells is approximately $1,250,000.

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 December
31,
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
fractional 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 a 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
Our
future operations are highly dependent upon our ability access additional
capital financing.
As
of
April 16, 2007, we had approximately $1,000,000 in cash, and guaranteed
commitments to realize an additional $4,000,000 in equity proceeds from the
April 13, 2007 placement of our Series A Preferred Convertible Stock (“Series A
Preferred”) with BlueWater Capital Group, LLC, a private investment group
controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Prentis B. Tomlinson,
Jr. We anticipate that the proceeds from the Series A Preferred will be
sufficient to cover our planned capital budget and general and administrative
expenditures for the remainder of 2007. Our operations beyond 2007 will require
substantial capital expenditures. If we are not able to continue to raise funds
or dramatically increase our operational cash flow, we will be forced to curtail
certain operations and may be unable to continue as a going concern. 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.
Several
of our officers and directors are also officers and/or directors for another
company, which may lead to conflicts of interest for these officers and
directors.
Some
of
our officers and directors also serve as officers and/or directors of Standard
Drilling, Inc., a company engaged in the business of drilling services. Standard
Drilling’s management includes Mr. Prentis Tomlinson as CEO and Mr. Edward Moses
as President and COO. Our management includes Mr. Tomlinson as Chairman,
President and CEO and Mr. Moses as Vice Chairman. In addition, two of the four
members of our Board of Directors, Messrs. Tomlinson and Moses, serve as
directors of Standard Drilling. Another one of our directors, Mr. Buntain,
is a
stockholder in Standard Drilling. In addition, our President and these other
officers and directors directly or indirectly own approximately 30% of our
outstanding common stock, 100% of
our
Series A Preferred Stock and approximately 34% of Standard Drilling determined
in each case according to Rule 13D-3. As officers and/or directors of both
companies, these individuals will have a duty of loyalty to both companies.
Although each company has other separate officers and staff, a conflict of
interest may arise if we enter, or consider entering into any arrangements
with
Standard Drilling or if we and Standard Drilling engage, or attempt to engage,
in the same businesses. We have entered into a Business Opportunity Agreement
with Standard Drilling pursuant to which we disclaimed interest in any future
drilling business opportunities, and Standard Drilling disclaimed interest
in
any future exploration and production business opportunities; this agreement
clarifies the separate interests of these two entities and permits those
officers and directors employed by both companies to manage the respective
businesses without concern that the interests described in the agreement
overlap. Nevertheless, transactions or other situations may arise in which
both
we and Standard Drilling are interested (such as opportunities for Standard
Drilling to provide us with drilling services), and in such cases, our officers
and directors in common might have conflicts of interest that would prevent
them
from making decisions or taking actions that are in our shareholders’ best
interests, and as a result our business and financial results could be adversely
affected.
We
have entered into an agreement with Standard Drilling, Inc. pursuant to which
we
agreed to not enter into the oil field services businesses, and thus we cannot
enter into or invest in any oil field services businesses.
We
have
entered into a Business Opportunity Agreement with Standard Drilling, Inc.
pursuant to which we agreed to not acquire, invest in or operate any oil field
services business and Standard Drilling, Inc. agreed to not acquire, invest
in
or operate any exploration or production business other than its currently
owned
oil and gas properties. Unless this agreement is amended, modified or no longer
in effect, we cannot acquire or otherwise invest in any oil field service
business even if we believe such an acquisition or investment would be
beneficial to us.
Our
conflicts committee consists of a single director and, in the event of a
transaction or other circumstance involving Standard Drilling, the committee
will not be able to rely on the unconflicted advice of much of our senior
management, and if our single director resigns or is otherwise unable to perform
his obligations as a director, we will not be able to take action on a matter
involving conflicts for our remaining directors until either one or more new
unconflicted directors are appointed or the Board takes action in the absence
of
unconflicted directors.
Mr.
Steelhammer is our only director who is not director, officer or shareholder
of,
or otherwise affiliated with, Standard Drilling, and he does not constitute
a
majority of the Board of Directors. Mr. Steelhammer is the sole member of our
conflicts committee, which is charged with determining all actions that are
required to be taken or may be taken by us with respect to any opportunity
or
transaction that involves a conflict of interest for any officer or director.
While the conflicts committee will have complete access to our management and
is
entitled to engage such outside engineering, financial, legal and other
assistance as it deems appropriate, in the event of a transaction or other
circumstance involving Standard Drilling the committee will not be able to
rely
on the unconflicted advice of much of our senior management. Further, if Mr.
Steelhammer resigns or is otherwise unable to perform his obligations as a
director, we will not be able to take action on any matters that are delegated
to the conflicts committee until one or more new unconflicted directors are
appointed and made members of the conflicts committee, or unless and until
the
Board determines to take action in the absence of any unconflicted directors,
relying on its determination as to the fundamental fairness of the proposed
transaction to our shareholders.
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 Vice Chairman,
are
also employed as officers and/or directors of Standard Drilling. Standard
Drilling pays the officers salaries comparable to, and in some cases greater
than, the salaries we pay them. Currently, Standard Drilling pays Mr. Tomlinson
and Mr. Moses $20,000 more per year than we pay them. Our employment agreements
with these officers require them to devote such time to managing our business
as
is reasonably necessary to perform their duties under the employment agreement
but do not specify a specific number of hours or percentage of time. Further,
the officers have significant discretion on a day to day basis as to whether
to
devote time to the management of our business or management of Standard
Drilling’s business. As a result of the salaries paid to them by, their
fiduciary duties to, and their ownership of a substantial interest in, Standard
Drilling, or for any other reason, the officers may determine to devote most
or
all of their time to Standard Drilling for an extended period of time. Because
of the time required of these officers to manage Standard Drilling’s business,
they may not devote sufficient time to managing our business, and as a result
our business and financial results could be adversely affected. The supervision
of the officers’ performance by directors without any conflict of interest
regarding Standard Drilling is limited to the oversight provided by Mr.
Steelhammer, unless one or more additional unconflicted directors are added
to
our Board in the future.
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, have no business history and may not be
able to successfully identify, develop and operate oil and gas leases, generate
revenues, or manage profitable operations 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.
Our
operations beyond 2007 will require substantial capital expenditures. If we
are
not able to continue to raise funds or dramatically increase our operational
cash flow, we will be forced to curtail certain operations and may be unable
to
continue as a going concern. 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.
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 scheduling. 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 high quality 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 manage and control the properties in which we invest. Also, 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 conditions may adversely affect our ability to produce and/or market
oil
and gas from the affected wells.
Political
and economic instability in Iraq could aversely affect our investment in
projects in Iraq
We
have
entered into an agreement to invest in an exploration and production project
in
Iraq. Our investment in Iraq is subject to a variety of political and economic
risks due in part to insurrection and instability in Iraq,
including:
· |
loss
of property and equipment as a result of events such as acts of war,
insurrection, terrorism, expropriation, or
nationalization;
|
· |
increases
in import, export and transportation regulations and tariffs, taxes
and
governmental royalties;
|
· |
renegotiation
of contracts with governmental entities that result in less favorable
terms for us;
|
· |
changes
in laws and policies governing operations of foreign-based companies
in
Iraq that increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our
operations;
|
· |
changes
in exchange controls and other laws that affect our ability to transfer
funds to the United States;
|
· |
changes
in the laws and policies of the United States affecting foreign trade,
taxation and investment; and
|
· |
the
possibility of being subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign
courts in connection with legal disputes and the possible inability
to
subject foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in the United
States.
|
As
a
result of any of the foregoing we may lose some or all of our investment in
Iraq
or control over the investment or its returns. Our business and financial
results would be adversely affected by any such event.
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
The
Conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Shares will result in
significant and immediate dilution of our existing stockholders and the book
value of their common stock.
On
April
13, 2007, we completed a private placement of 8,000,000 Series A Convertible
Preferred Shares with BlueWater Capital Group, LLC, a private investment group
managed by our Chairman, CEO and President Prentis B. Tomlinson, Jr. in exchange
for net proceeds of $5,000,000 of which $1,000,000 has been received by Calibre
and the remaining $4,000,000 has been structured as a non interest bearing
note
payable to Calibre in monthly increments of $800,000 over the next 5 months.
The
Series A Preferred has that number of votes equal to 51% of the total votes
entitled to be cast by all outstanding capital stock. After the receipt of
the
total proceeds, the preferred shares may be convertible, at the election of
the
Holder, into a fixed amount of common stock, equal to 75% of total outstanding
shares of common stock then issued and outstanding at the time of conversion
Each
holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled
at
the election of the holder to cause any or all of such shares to be converted
into shares of Common Stock on the basis of the Conversion Ratio then in effect,
provided, however, that the conversion of the Series
A
Convertible Preferred Stock
shall
not be effective until the Articles of Incorporation of the Company have been
amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to at least
200,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). Each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock based on the
ratio required to cause the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the
conversion of 8,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to equal 75% of
the
number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding after the
conversion (the “Conversion Ratio”).
The
Series A Preferred are not entitled to receive any dividends unless dividends
are declared and paid by us on the Company’s Common Stock. If we pay dividends
on our Common Stock, then each holder of a share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the amount of dividends such holder
would have received if its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had
already been converted into shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred
were
not issued in conjunction with any warrants.
Prior
to
conversion, the Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference equal to $5
million. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Calibre,
either voluntary or involuntary (a “liquidation event”), a holder of the Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of our assets,
prior to the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of Preferred Stock
with
rights junior to the Series A Preferred, for each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock held by such holder, $.625 per share (the “Liquidation
Preference”).
The
holder of our Series A Convertible Preferred Shares controls a majority of
the
voting rights of the Company’s shares and exercises a significant degree of
influence over us, and may make decisions with which you
disagree.
The
voting power of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
equal to the number of votes required to cause the aggregate of the votes
entitled to be cast by all of the issued and outstanding Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock to equal 51% of all votes entitled to be cast by all our classes
of stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote
on
any and all matters brought to a vote of holders of Common Stock. Holders of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all
shareholder meetings or written consents with respect to which they would be
entitled to vote, which notice would be provided to the holders of the Common
Stock pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws and applicable statutes
As
a
result of any substantial share ownership that one or more of these holders
of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such stockholder or stockholders may
have
the ability to influence significantly any decisions relating to:
· |
elections
to our board of directors;
|
· |
amendments
to our certificate of
incorporation;
|
· |
the
outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to
our
stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and
the sale
of all or substantially all of our assets; and
|
· |
a
change of control of Calibre (which may have the effect of
discouraging third party offers to acquire
Calibre)
|
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 and an improved market for
our
common stock may not develop. 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 the shares
offered in this offering.

6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
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 and in an unexplored region of the Irbil Province of
Kurdistan, Iraq. Headquartered in Washington, DC and Houston,
Texas, Calibre is a Nevada corporation. We have a limited operating history
as our predecessor company for financial reporting purposes was formed on August
17, 2005.
Calibre
intends to expand and develop our exploration and production business and
reserves by initially emphasizing the identification and development of shale
gas opportunities in the Barnett Shale and the Fayetteville Shale and the
development of an unexplored area of Kurdistan, Iraq. Calibre has identified
that the Mississippian developments of the Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth Basin
and the Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin and the Bina Bawi
project in Irbil Province of Kurdistan provide the greatest near term economic
value. Calibre is currently participating in three projects with Kerogen
Resources, Inc., a privately held exploration and production company located
in
Houston, Texas. The projects are the Reichmann Petroleum project, South Ft.
Worth Basin project and Williston Basin project. Calibre also has acquired
10% participating interest in an Exploration and Production Sharing
Agreement with the Kurdish Regional Government in Kurdistan, Iraq, pursuant
to a
joint operating agreement with Hawler Energy, Ltd (Bina Bawi Project).
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.
Status
of Calibre Energy, Inc.
On
February 8, 2007,
the
Company announced that as of January 31, 2007 we had only approximately $92,000
in cash and will need to raise additional funds immediately in order to continue
operations. If we do not raise funds immediately we will be forced to cease
our
operations, and our ability to obtain the necessary funding is
uncertain.
On
April
13, 2007, we completed a private placement of 8,000,000 Series
A
Convertible Preferred Shares with BlueWater
Capital Group, LLC, a private investment group managed by our Chairman, CEO
and
President Prentis B. Tomlinson, Jr. in exchange for net proceeds of $5,000,000
of which $1,000,000 has been received by Calibre and the remaining $4,000,000
has been structured as a non interest bearing note payable to Calibre in monthly
increments of $800,000 over the next 5 months. The Series A Preferred has that
number of votes equal to 51% of the total votes entitled to be cast by all
outstanding capital stock. After the receipt of the total proceeds, the
preferred shares may be convertible, at the election of the Holder, into a
fixed
amount of common stock, equal to 75% of total outstanding shares of common
stock
then issued and outstanding after the conversion.
Each
holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled
at
the election of the holder to cause any or all of such shares to be converted
into shares of Common Stock on the basis of the Conversion Ratio then in effect,
provided, however, that the conversion of the Series
A
Convertible Preferred Stock
shall
not be effective until the Articles of Incorporation of the Company have been
amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to at least
200,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). Each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock based on the
ratio required to cause the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the
conversion of 8,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to equal 75% of
the
number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding after the
conversion (the “Conversion Ratio”).
The
Series A Preferred are not entitled to receive any dividends unless dividends
are declared and paid by us on the Company’s Common Stock. If we pay dividends
on our Common Stock, then each holder of a share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the amount of dividends such holder
would have received if its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had
already been converted into shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred
were
not issued in conjunction with any warrants.
Prior
to
conversion, the Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference equal to $5
million. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Calibre,
either voluntary or involuntary (a “liquidation event”), a holder of the Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of our assets,
prior to the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of Preferred Stock
with
rights junior to the Series A Preferred, for each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock held by such holder, $.625 per share (the “Liquidation
Preference”).
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 only able
to
compare results of operations for the twelve month period ended December 31,
2006 to the period from Inception (August 17, 2005) until December 31,
2005.
Oil
and Gas Revenues.
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006, our oil and gas net sales were $554,430 versus
$20,778 in 2005. Oil and gas revenues are derived from our proportionate share
of working interests in oil and gas properties. Over the course of 2006, ten
additional wells, versus two wells for the prior period ended December 31,
2005
began production which led to the increase in revenue.
General
and Administrative Expenses.
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006 general and administrative expenses were
$2,891,374 versus $1,893,602 in 2005. A total of $394,849 was for actual costs
associated with our general and administrative expense, $1,247,504 was for
salary and wages for employees and non-cash compensation expense associated
with
stock and options granted to members management who we believe are key to the
development of our business and $1,249,021 was for professional fees, mostly
associated with legal and accounting costs in association with the filing of
our
registration statements.
Depreciation,
Depletion, and Amortization and Impairment.
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006, we had an expense of $750,834 for depreciation,
depletion, and amortization (excluding impairment of $5,368,188) versus $35,599
in 2005. We had ten wells commence production in 2006 versus two wells for
the
year end ended December 31, 2005.
Net
capitalized costs of oil and gas properties less related deferred taxes are
limited to the sum of (a) future net revenues (using prices and cost rates
as of
the balance sheet date) from proved reserves discounted at 10 percent per annum
plus (b) cost not being amortized less (c) related income tax effects. Excess
costs are charged to proved property impairment expense. In 2006, we expensed
$5,368,188 for a proved property impairment expense, associated with the
Reichmann Project. Our reserves were lower than expected due to the fall in
the
natural gas prices and because of lower than expected proved reserves from
the
Reichmann project.
Operating
Loss.
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006, we had an operating loss of $8,672,048 versus
$1,923,107 in 2005. The main factor in our operating loss in 2006 was
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment expense of $6,119,022.
Excluding Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment expense, we
had
an operating loss of $2,553,026 in 2006 versus $1,887,508 for 2005.
Net
loss.
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006, we had a net loss of $10,259,461, or ($0.18)
per
share (basic and diluted) versus for the year ended December 31, 2005, of
$1,901,651 or ($0.05) per share (basic and diluted).
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
April 16, 2007, we had approximately $1,000,000 in cash, and expect to realize
an additional $4,000,000 in equity proceeds from the April 13, 2007 placement
of
our Series A Preferred Convertible Stock with BlueWater Capital Group, LLC
a
private investment group controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Prentis B. Tomlinson, Jr . We anticipate that the proceeds from the Series
A
Preferred will be sufficient to cover our planned capital budget for the
remainder of 2007.
Our
operations beyond 2007 will require substantial capital expenditures. If we
are
not able to continue to raise funds or dramatically increase our operational
cash flow, we will be forced to curtail certain operations and may be unable
to
continue as a going concern. 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.
As
of
December 31, 2006, we had cash of $1,257,134 and negative working capital of
$2,729,877, of which $1,703,446 is for a non-cash registration penalty item.
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 per share and a term of 2 years. As of December 31, 2006, 400,000 warrants
to purchase our common stock have been exercised on a cashless basis.
In
March and April 2006, we raised an aggregate of $11,560,000 ($10,629,394
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 per share and a term of 2 years.
On
November 6, 2006 we raised $4,812,500 through the private sale of 1,750,000
shares and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.50 per share and a term of 2 years; as part of the consideration,
the purchaser also surrendered a warrant to acquire 1,750,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share.
On
April
13, 2007, we completed a private placement of 8,000,000 Series A Convertible
Preferred Shares with BlueWater Capital Group, LLC, a private investment group
controlled by our Chairman, CEO and President Prentis B. Tomlinson, Jr. in
exchange for net proceeds of $5,000,000 of which $1,000,000 has been received
by
Calibre and the remaining $4,000,000 has been structured as a non interest
bearing note payable to Calibre in monthly increments of $800,000 over the
next
5 months. The Series A Preferred has that number of votes equal to 51% of the
total votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding capital stock. After the
receipt of the total proceeds, the preferred shares may be convertible, at
the
election of the Holder, into a fixed amount of common stock, equal to 75% of
total outstanding shares of common stock after the time of conversion.
Each
holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled
at
the election of the holder to cause any or all of such shares to be converted
into shares of Common Stock on the basis of the Conversion Ratio then in effect,
provided, however, that the conversion of the Series
A
Convertible Preferred Stock
shall
not be effective until the Articles of Incorporation of the Company have been
amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to at least
200,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). Each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock based on the
ratio required to cause the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the
conversion of 8,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to equal 75% of
the
number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding after the
conversion (the “Conversion Ratio”).
The
Series A Preferred are not entitled to receive any dividends unless dividends
are declared and paid by us on the Company’s Common Stock. If we pay dividends
on our Common Stock, then each holder of a share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the amount of dividends such holder
would have received if its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had
already been converted into shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred
were
not issued in conjunction with any warrants.
Prior
to
conversion, the Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference equal to $5
million. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Calibre,
either voluntary or involuntary (a “liquidation event”), a holder of the Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of our assets,
prior to the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of Preferred Stock
with
rights junior to the Series A Preferred, for each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock held by such holder, $0.625 per share (the “Liquidation
Preference”).
CASH
FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in operating activities was
($2,855,963) driven primarily by our net loss, the adjustment for our non cash
impairment expense, the decrease in our pre-paid expenses and by the increase
in
our accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
CASH
FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in investing activities was
($13,634,748) driven primarily by our investment in oil and gas properties
in
the Ft. Worth Basin of $10,109,101 and the Bina Bawi Project in Kurdistan,
Iraq
of $3,359,106.
CASH
FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For
the
period ended December 31, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was
$15,642,096 which was attributed to our sale of common stock and purchase
warrants. On April 18, 2006, we raised an aggregate of $11,560,000 ($10,629,394
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 per share. On November 6, 2006, we raised $4,812,500 through the private
sale of 1,750,000 shares and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share and a term of 2 years; as part
of
the consideration, the purchaser also surrendered a warrant to acquire 1,750,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share.
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 $6.5 million in 2007 as follows
(in millions):

Total
|
$

|
|
|
As
of
April 13, 2007, we have spent approximately $1 million on capital expenditures
for our international project. Our remaining cash balance and revenues from
existing projects are sufficient to fund all budgeted development and drilling
of our existing projects or to cover our current liabilities, obligations and
contractual commitments for 2007. We will need to raise additional capital
through the sale of equity and/or debt securities to fully meet our 2007 capital
budget. Failure to raise necessary capital or generate sufficient cash flow
from
operations in 2007 will cause us to curtail existing development or to sell
certain existing assets to generate cash.
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 prevent
us
from meeting our 2007 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 this report.
Hedging
We
did
not hedge any of our oil or natural gas production during 2006 and have not
entered into any such hedges from January 1, 2007 through the date of this

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 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, 2006, 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.
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. Calibre adopted SFAS No. 123R as of
January 1, 2006.
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 ended
December 31, 2006. 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 balance sheets of Calibre Energy, Inc. as of December
31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’
equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the period
from
August 17, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements
are
the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Calibre Energy, Inc. as of December
31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the
year ended December 31, 2006 and 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, has negative cash flow from
operations and has an accumulated deficit, which raises 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.

Notes
to Financial Statements
Note
1. Organization
and Business Operations
We
are an
independent exploration and production company focused on the acquisition,
exploitation, development and sale of crude oil and natural gas; in Irbil
Province of Kurdistan, Iraq; in the Barnett Shale in Texas; and the Fayetteville
Shale in Arkansas. We are a Nevada corporation, headquartered in Washington,
DC
and Houston, Texas. Our predecessor company for financial reporting purposes
was
formed on August 17, 2005.
We
intend
to expand and develop our exploration and production business and reserves
by
focusing on the exploration of the Bina Bawi Project in Kurdistan, Iraq and
on
our projects in the Barnett Shale.
We have
a 10% participating interest in the Bina Bawi Exploration and
Production Sharing Agreement with the Kurdish Regional Government in Kurdistan,
Iraq, pursuant to a joint operating agreement with Hawler Energy, Ltd.
In
October of 2005, we commenced our operating activities by focusing on shale
gas
opportunities in the Barnett Shale and the Fayetteville Shale. We initially
targeted the Mississippian developments of the Barnett Shale in the Ft. Worth
Basin and the Fayetteville Shale development in the Arkoma Basin. We are
currently participating in three projects with Kerogen Resources, Inc., a
privately held exploration and production company located in Houston, Texas.
The
projects are the Reichmann Petroleum project, South Ft. Worth Basin project
and
Williston Basin project.
We
believe that major oil companies, in the course of exploring large tracts of
international acreage, frequently choose to ignore or abandon smaller
discoveries, or discoveries with special infrastructure requirements. Smaller
companies, such as Calibre, without the overhead structures of these larger
companies can often, through careful due diligence, planning and local
intelligence, acquire and turn such discoveries into economic and profitable
developments. Our management has industry experience in many international
producing areas and has the capability to continue to expand the scope of our
activities as opportunities arise. Key elements of our ultimate success include
our ability to select opportunities that will promote value creation, to form
strategic alliances with influential local partners in certain prolific
hydrocarbon regions, to develop our potential as an operator of our future
projects, and as a non-operator to develop a close association with our the
operating companies for our projects and to maintain a certain degree of control
over the timing, expense levels and execution of our projects.
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 basis 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, 2006, Calibre had $1,057,134 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.
Calibre's
receivables primarily consist of accounts
receivable from oil and gas sales owed to related parties. Accounts
receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear
interest. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's
estimate of the amount of probable losses due to the inability to collect from
customers. As of December 31, 2006, no allowance for doubtful accounts has
been
recorded and none of the accounts receivable have been
collateralized.
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.
Under
this method, all costs, including internal costs directly related to
acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalizable as oil
and
gas property costs. Properties not subject to amortization consist of
exploration and development costs which are evaluated on a property-by-property
basis. Amortization of these unproved property costs begins when the properties
become proved or their values become impaired. Calibre assesses the
realizability of unproved properties on at least an annual basis or when there
has been an indication that impairment in value may have occurred. Impairment
of
unproved properties is assessed based on management's intention with regard
to
future exploration and development of individually significant properties and
the ability of Calibre to obtain funds to finance such exploration and
development. Calibre is currently participating in oil and gas exploration
and
development activities on onshore properties in the Fort Worth Basin, Williston
Basin and Arkoma Basin and in an international onshore project in Irbil,
Kurdistan, Iraq. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties
are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs
to
be amortized. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred
an
impairment expense on its proved properties of $5,368,188 which is reflected
in
the accompanying Statement of Operations. Calibre expects to evaluate the
properties not subject to amortization by the end of 2007. The costs not subject
to amortization as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:

The
fair
value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which
it
is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present
value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset. For Calibre, asset retirement
obligations relate to the abandonment of oil and gas producing facilities.
The
amounts recognized are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including
future retirement costs, future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future
inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.
Costs
of
oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method.
Amortization expense calculated per equivalent physical unit of production
amounted to $648,448 and $35,599 for
the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Under
full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of proved
properties, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes,
shall not exceed an amount (the "cost ceiling") equal to the sum of (a) the
present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved
oil
and gas reserves, based on current economic and operating condition, discounted
at 10 percent, plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c)
the
lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in
the
costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences
between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs
exceed this limit, the excess is charged as an impairment expense. During the
year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred an impairment expense on
its
proved properties of $5,368,188 which is reflected in the accompanying Statement
of Operations.
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.
Operating
Leases
The
Company's leasing operations consist principally of
the leasing of office space and are accounted for as operating leases. The
office leases expire over the next 5 years.
Employee
Stock Plan
On
January 1, 2006, Calibre adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share−Based Payment". SFAS
123(R) replaced SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123(R)
requires all share−based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their
fair
values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 are no
longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. Caliber adopted SFAS
123(R) using the modified prospective method which requires the application
of
the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. The consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of adopting
SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective method, the
consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated
to
reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).
Prior
to
2006, Calibre accounted for share−based compensation to employees and directors
under the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25. Under this method,
Calibre had not recognized compensation expense for stock granted when the
underlying number of shares is known and the exercise price of the option is
greater than or equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.
Had Calibre determined compensation expense for stock option grants based on
their estimated fair value at their grant date, Calibre’s net loss and net loss
per share would have been as follows:

Investments
Investments
are accounted for under the equity method in circumstances where we are deemed
to exercise significant influence over the operations of the investee. Under
the
equity method, we recognize our share of the investee's earnings and losses
in
our consolidated statements of operations. Included in investments at December
31, 2006 is an equity investment of $83,125. This investment has been accounted
for under the equity method.
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.
Loss
per share
Basic
and
diluted net loss per share calculations are presented in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Statement 128 and are calculated on the basis
of
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common
stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share
as
their effect would be anti-dilutive.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes − An
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, ("FIN 48").
FIN 48
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to
be
taken in a tax return. The new FASB standard also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in
accordance with FIN 48 is a two−step process. The first step is a recognition
process whereby the enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not
that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution
of
any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits
of
the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the
more−likely−than−not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that
the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has
full
knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is a measurement process
whereby a tax position that meets the more−likely−than−not recognition threshold
is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial
statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that
is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The
provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,
2006. Earlier application is permitted as long as the enterprise has not yet
issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the
period of adoption. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax
positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet
the more−likely−than−not recognition threshold at the effective date may be
recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative
effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 should be reported as an adjustment
to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components
of
equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that fiscal
year. We are currently evaluating the statement and have not yet determined
the
impact of such on our financial statements.
SFAS
No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, ("SFAS 157").
This new
standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. The FASB believes the standard also responds to investors' requests
for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets
and
liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and
the
effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other
standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair
value
but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. The standard
clarifies that for items that are not actively traded, such as certain kinds
of
derivatives, fair value should reflect the price in a transaction with a market
participant, including an adjustment for risk, not just the company's
mark−to−model value. SFAS 157 also requires expanded disclosure of the effect on
earnings for items measured using unobservable data. Under SFAS 157, fair value
refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market
in which the reporting entity transacts. In this standard, the FASB clarifies
the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this
principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives
the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority
to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity's own data. Under the
standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within
the fair value hierarchy. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged,
provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements
for
that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period
within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating this statement and have
not
yet determined the impact of such on our financial statements. We plan to adopt
this statement when required at the start of our fiscal year beginning January
1, 2008.

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 2007. At
December 31, 2006, Calibre had an accumulated deficit of $12,161,112 and a
working capital deficit of $2,729,877. However, of this $2,729,877 working
capital deficit, $1,703,446, consisted of a non-cash liability related to a
charge for a registration delay expense. Calibre has limited financial resources
until such time that Calibre is able to raise additional capital or generate
positive cash flow from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about
Calibre’s 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 Calibre 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.

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 $4,647,544 based on the
amount that management believes will ultimately be realized. Realization of
the
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 carry forwards 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, 2006 primarily due to the valuation allowance.

5. Reichmann
Petroleum Bankruptcy
Calibre
is party to a letter agreement dated October 5, 2005 with Kerogen Resources
pursuant to which Calibre participates 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
received 12.5% of our working interest in each well drilled. As of December
31,
2006, Calibre has paid Kerogen a total $9,191,599 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 25% working interest in the leasehold interest
in
Johnson County, TX and $6,011,939 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 December 31, 2006 We have
participated in 22
gross
wells of which 12 wells are currently producing, five wells have been drilled,
completed and fraced and are waiting to be hooked up to a pipeline, and five
wells have been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting to be fraced.
On
December 8, 2006, the operator of the properties in the Barnett Shale Project,
Reichmann Petroleum, filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
All
development activity on this joint venture with Reichmann has ceased pending
the
resolution of legal claims. Calibre’s interests in the Reichmann-operated
properties are held through Calibre’s agreement with Kerogen. To date, revenues
from this project have been netted against capital and operating expenditures.
As a result of the bankruptcy, Calibre’s net share of working interest
production is expected to
be
paid into a separate account under the control of the bankruptcy court. As
of
December 31, 2006, Calibre had an outstanding net revenue receivable balance
of
$406,143 from Kerogen related to certain wells in the Reichmann project.
Furthermore, as of December 31, 2006, Calibre had an outstanding joint interest
payable balance of approximately $1.1 million to Kerogen. As a result of
the bankruptcy, receivable revenue may or may not be collectible. Calibre
has petitioned the bankruptcy court and expects a resolution in the bankruptcy
court that will permit payment of Calibre’s share of working interest
production. Calibre believes it will be successful in collecting its share
of
production revenues either in cash or in production-in-kind from Reichmann
and
Kerogen. Accordingly, no allowance has been made for the
receivable.
Additionally,
Kerogen has petitioned the bankruptcy court to potentially continue with the
development of the Reichmann leases with a new operator. Calibre believes,
but
cannot provide assurance, that the bankruptcy court will resolve to permit
ongoing development operations on the project leases, however, the terms of
the
leases for the project generally require commencement of drilling operations
within the primary term of each lease. If development does not proceed as a
result of the Reichmann bankruptcy, those undeveloped and partially developed
leases in the project will terminate and Calibre will have to impair these
properties. The value of these properties is approximately $450,000 as
of
December 31, 2006. Capital expenditures invested to date in these partially
developed wells is approximately $1,250,000.
As
of
December 31, 2006, Calibre received and paid
cash
calls from Kerogen Resources of $276,000 for certain wells in the Reichmann
Project. Although several of these cash calls are over a year old, Calibre
has
not received detailed support for expenditures or joint interest billings (JIB)
to associate with these cash calls. Furthermore, $234,000 of the cash calls
is
associated with a well which was not ultimately drilled. Calibre has requested
return of that money or netting of the full amount against existing payables
with Kerogen Resources on other wells. Calibre believes that it will ultimately
be successful in recovery, but as a result of the bankruptcy, it could be forced
to impair the expenditure. The amounts paid for cash calls are reflected in
related party accounts receivable on the accompanying balance sheet. Upon
receipt of supporting documentation of these costs, such costs will be
transferred into oil and gas properties and will be subject to a ceiling test
and might lead to additional impairment expense.
Note
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, 2006, none
of
the preferred stock is outstanding.
Common
Stock
As
of
December 31, 2006, Calibre is authorized to issue 100,000,000 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 per share or $300,000.
In
March
and April 2006, Calibre raised an aggregate of $11,560,000 ($10,629,394 net
of
offering costs) through the sale of 5,780,000 units. A unit consists of 1
share of common stock and 1 warrant to purchase shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $2.75 per share and a term of 2 years. Subscribers
for units also are entitled to be issued one
non-transferable right (a “Right”) for each Unit purchased, each Right entitling
the holder thereof, subject to certain conditions, to be issued 0.10 of a Unit
(each whole such Unit, a “Rights Unit”) in the event that either: (i) the
Company has not filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) a Registration Statement (as defined below) and had such Registration
Statement declared effective by the SEC that is 120 days following the Closing
Date; or (ii) completed a Canadian Going Public Transaction (the completion
of
one or both of such events referred to as the “Liquidity Event”), on or before
the date that is 120 days following the Closing Date (the “Liquidity Event
Deadline”), which was August 17, 2006. As Calibre did
not complete the Liquidity Event, subscribers in this private placement are
entitled to be issued 0.10 of a Unit for each Unit they own. Calibre has
recorded a liability for the issuance of 578,000 Rights Units and non cash
registration delay expense of $1,703,446 to reflect the value of the units
required to be issued.
On
November 6, 2006, Calibre raised $4,812,500 through the private sale of
1,750,000 shares and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock
at an
exercise price of $1.50 per share and a term of 2 years. As part of the
consideration, the purchaser also surrendered a warrant to
acquire 1,750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per
share.
Note
7.
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. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal
to the market price of Calibre’s stock at the date of grant. During the year
ended December 31, 2006, 4,000,000 options were exercised. Calibre received
proceeds of $200,000 upon the exercise of these options..
During
the
twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, Calibre issued 100,000 incentive
stock options to an employee of Calibre with an exercise price of $2.10 per
share. These options expire on July 27, 2016, vest 25% on each
anniversary of the date of issuance over 4 years and had a fair value
of $167,594 at the date of grant. Calibre valued these options using the
Black-Scholes option -pricing valuation model. The model uses market sourced
inputs such as interest rates, stock prices, and option volatilities, the
selection of which requires management’s judgment, and which may impact the
value of the options. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model
were: a risk-free interest rate of 5.00%; the current stock price at date of
issuance of $2.10 per share; the exercise price of the options of $2.10 per
share; the term of 10 years; volatility of 70.94%; and dividend yield of 0.0%.
For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, Calibre recorded
compensation expense of $20,950 to amortize the cost of these non-vested options
over the service period of the options. Calibre issued 300,000 incentive stock
options to an employee of Calibre with an exercise price of $2.40. These options
expire on October 10, 2016, vest 25% on each anniversary of the date
of issuance over 4 years and had a fair value of $589,509 at the date
of grant. Calibre valued these options using the Black-Scholes option -pricing
valuation model. The model uses market sourced inputs such as interest rates,
stock prices, and option volatilities, the selection of which requires
management’s judgment, and which may impact the value of the options. The
assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model were: a risk-free interest
rate of 5.00%; the current stock price at date of issuance of $2.40 per share;
the exercise price of the options of $2.40 per share; the term of 10 years;
volatility of 75.12%; and dividend yield of 0.0%. For the twelve month period
ended December 31, 2006, Calibre recorded compensation expense of $36,844 to
amortize the cost of these non-vested options over the service period of the
options
Prior
to
January 1, 2006, Calibre granted a total of 650,000 non-vested options including
options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.12
per share, and options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.24 per share. All non-vested options vest over a four year service
period and expire 10 years after the date of grant. For the year ended December
31, 2006, Calibre recorded compensation expense of $41,004 to amortize the
cost
of these options over the service period of the options.

9. Related Party Transactions.
Kerogen
Resources, Inc.
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. Calibre has entered into four agreements with Kerogen
Resources, Inc.
First,
Calibre is party to a letter agreement dated October 5, 2005 with Kerogen
Resources pursuant to which Calibre participates 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 received 12.5% of our working interest in each well drilled. As of
December 31, 2006, Calibre has paid Kerogen a total $9,191,599 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 25% working interest in
the
leasehold interest in Johnson County, TX and $6,011,939 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 December 31, 2006 we have participated in 22
gross
wells of which 12 wells are currently producing, five wells have been drilled,
completed and fraced and are waiting to be hooked up to a pipeline, and five
wells have been drilled to total depth, completed and are waiting to be fraced.
Second,
Calibre entered into a Participation Agreement dated September 20, 2005 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; as of December 31,
2006,
Calibre has paid Kerogen Resources $500,000 of such amount. As of December
31,
2006, our net leasehold position pursuant to this agreement is 3,812 acres.
Calibre has paid approximately $1,184,584 to Kerogen for participation in these
leases in the Ft. Worth Basin of Texas. All the leasehold acreage is
undeveloped. The price paid for leases represented market prices for similar
acreage in the area.
Third,
Calibre entered into a Participation Agreement dated September 5, 2005 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 and as of December 31,
2006, Calibre has paid Kerogen Resources $550,000 of such amount. 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. After
the incorporation of Calibre, 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, the full amount of the promissory note and
all interest due.
Standard
Drilling, Inc.
On
March
24, 2006, Calibre 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 Calibre $350,545, 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. and serves as its CEO.
Further, Standard Drilling’s principal officers also serve as officers for
Calibre.
Several
of Calibre’s officers, including its President and Vice Chairman are also
employed as officers and/or directors of Standard Drilling, Inc., a company
engaged in the business of drilling services. As a result, each of these
officers devoted some of their business time to the management of Standard
Drilling, Inc. The amount of time devoted to the management of Calibre’s
business and the management of Standard Drilling’s business by each of these
officers fluctuates from day to day and week to week. An officer may devote
his
time exclusively to the management of our business or to Standard Drilling
for a
period of time. Each of the officers has significant discretion as to whether
to
devote time to management of the Calibre’s business or to management of Standard
Drilling’s business.
On
January 16, 2007 Calibre entered into a Business Opportunity Agreement with
Standard Drilling, Inc. pursuant to which Calibre agreed to not acquire, invest
in or operate any oil field services business. Calibre also agreed to advise
Standard Drilling, Inc., of any such opportunities presented to Calibre. In
exchange, Standard Drilling, Inc. agreed to not acquire, invest in or operate
any exploration and production business other than that it currently holds
and
to advise Claibre of any exploration and production business that is presented
to it.
Potomac
Energy, LLC (“Potomac”) is a joint venture entity formed by Calibre and Standard
Drilling to acquire software licenses and data sufficient to build and maintain
a land title database that will cover a portion of the Ft. Worth Basin in north
central Texas. Calibre and Standard Drilling each own 50% of Potomac, and each
contributed $87,500 to Potomac in the twelve month period ended December 31,
2006. Calibre and Standard Drilling will pay equally all costs of Potomac.
Each
Company will have access to the Potomac database. Calibre uses this database
to
generate prospects and to perform land title work on existing prospects.
Standard Drilling uses this database to perform land title work on its existing
property as permitted by the Business Opportunity Agreement between Calibre
and
Standard Drilling dated January 16, 2007. As of February 6, 2007, Potomac has
had no other activities other than the purchase of software and has no assets
other than the software. Potomac is governed by a two person board comprised
of
one representative of Calibre Energy and one representative of Standard
Drilling. William B. Nunnallee, Calibre’s Vice President of Land, serves as an
officer and director of Potomac. Calibre accounts for its investment in Potomac
under the equity method.
Calibre
shares facilities and some overhead costs with Standard Drilling in Washington
D.C. Calibre has entered into a service agreement pursuant to which Standard
Drilling will pay Calibre for office space and supplies, use of office
equipment, secretarial services and any other services Calibre provides to
them
in sharing the Washington D.C. office space. Pursuant to the services agreement,
Standard Drilling reimburses Calibre for 50% of the costs of the health
insurance provided to officers who are employed by both companies. The agreement
provides for minimum quarterly payments to Calibre of $70,000 under the services
agreement. The services agreement may be terminated by either party on 30 days
notice. The two companies have separate offices and staff in Houston,
Texas.
Calibre
no longer anticipates that it will engage Standard Drilling to
provide Calibre with drilling services.
Hawler
Energy, Ltd.
Calibre
entered into a Novation and Amendment Agreement among Hawler Energy, Ltd.
(“Hawler Energy”), a Cayman Islands company, A & T Petroleum Company, Ltd.
(“A & T”), a Cayman Islands company, and Hillwood Energy, Ltd. (“Hillwood”),
a Cayman Islands company. Pursuant to the Novation Agreement Calibre became
parties to the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (“the EPSA”) dated
March 29, 2006 between A&T, Hawler Energy and the Oil and Gas Petroleum
Establishment of the Kurdistan Regional Government (the “OGE”). Calibre entered
into a Joint Operating Agreement with Hawler Energy, Ltd, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Prime Natural Resources. One of Calibre’s former directors, W.
Richard Anderson, is the CEO of Prime Natural Resources. The Joint Operating

|
Total
rent expense was $154,823 for the year ended December 31, 2006. There were
$17,700 of leasehold incentives which will be amortized over the life of the
lease.
As
of
March 15, 2007, Calibre had drilling commitments of $2,494,528 in
2007
for
drilling and completion of wells in progress.
If
these commitments are not met, Calibre will not receive assignment for its
interest in the Bina Bawi prospect.
Note
11. 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 credit-adjusted 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, 2006 is
$53,242.
Note
12. - Subsequent Events
Private
Placement
On
April
13, 2007, Calibre completed a private placement of 8,000,000 Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares with BlueWater Capital Group, LLC, a private
investment group managed by our Chairman, CEO and President Prentis B.
Tomlinson, Jr. in exchange for net proceeds of $5,000,000 of which $1,000,000
has been received by Calibre and the remaining $4,000,000 has been structured
as
a non interest bearing note payable to the Calibre in monthly increments of
$800,000 over the next 5 months. The Series A Preferred has that number of
votes
equal to 51% of the total votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding capital
stock. After the receipt of the total proceeds, the preferred shares may be
convertible, at the election of the Holder, into a fixed amount of common stock,
equal to 75% of total outstanding shares then issued and outstanding at the
time
of conversion.
Each
holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled
at
the election of the holder to cause any or all of such shares to be converted
into shares of Common Stock on the basis of the Conversion Ratio then in effect,
provided, however, that the conversion of the Series
A
Convertible Preferred Stock
shall
not be effective until the Articles of Incorporation of the Company have been
amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to at least
200,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). Each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock based on the
ratio required to cause the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the
conversion of 8,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to equal 75% of
the
number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding after the
conversion (the “Conversion Ratio”).
The
Series A Preferred are not entitled to receive any dividends unless dividends
are declared and paid by us on the Company’s Common Stock. If we pay dividends
on our Common Stock, then each holder of a share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the amount of dividends such holder
would have received if its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had
already been converted into shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred
were
not issued in conjunction with any warrants.
Prior
to
conversion, the Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference equal to $5
million. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Calibre,
either voluntary or involuntary (a “liquidation event”), a holder of the Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of our assets,
prior to the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of Preferred Stock
with
rights junior to the Series A Preferred, for each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock held by such holder, $.625 per share (the “Liquidation
Preference”).
The
voting power of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
equal to the number of votes required to cause the aggregate of the votes
entitled to be cast by all of the issued and outstanding Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock to equal 51% of all votes entitled to be cast by all our classes
of stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote
on
any and all matters brought to a vote of holders of Common Stock. Holders of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all
shareholder meetings or written consents with respect to which they would be
entitled to vote, which notice would be provided to the holders of the Common
Stock pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws and applicable statutes.
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.

ITEM
8. 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.
During the
two most recent fiscal years of Hardwood Doors and Milling Specialties, Inc.,
ending December 31, 2004 and 2005,
(i)
there were no disagreements between us and Jones Simkins, PC 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,
PC would have caused Jones Simkins to make reference to the matter in its
reports on our financial statements, and (ii) Jones Simkins’ PC 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,
PC as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors
appointed Malone & Bailey, PC as our Independent Registered Public
Accountant effective April 7, 2006.
ITEM
8A. Controls and Procedures.
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, 2006. Based on
this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, 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 audit. Changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
occurred in the fourth quarter 2006 that materially affected our internal
control over financial reporting. 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 to maintain and monitor our
Oil
and Gas Properties and Reserves.
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 for Oil and Gas Properties and Reserve Calculations; (2) further
development of our internal IT systems; (3) performing additional reviews of
our
internal Oil and Gas Properties and Reserve Calculations 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.
There
were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected or
are
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
