The Company is a small, independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development and production of on-shore oil and gas reserves, with activities concentrated in Concordia and Catahoula Parishes, Louisiana, Adams and Wilkinson Counties, Mississippi and Commanche County, Kansas. In addition. through KFG Petroleum's subsidiary, Shamrock Drilling, the Company is engaged in contract oil and gas well drilling for third parties and for its own account in East Central Louisiana and Southwest Mississippi. The Company has net production of approximately 40 barrels of oil per day and 750,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day.
ITEM 3 -NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated on April 7, 1994, and in May, 1994, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of KFG Petroleum in consideration of the issuance to the then stockholders of KFG Petroleum of an aggregate of 3,333,333 common shares of the Company. The assets of KFG Petroleum at that time consisted primarily of varying interests in producing and non-producing oil and gas properties located in Catahoula and Concordia Parishes, Louisiana, and Adams and Wilkinson Counties, Mississippi.
In January, 1997, KFG Petroleum acquired all of the shares of Shamrock Drilling for cash consideration of US$550,000. Shamrock Drilling is engaged in the contract oil and gas well drilling business, generally in East-Central Louisiana and South-West Mississippi. The assets of Shamrock Drilling consist primarily of its drilling rig and related equipment and cash items, and minor interests in certain producing oil properties.
The oil and gas industry in general consists of the exploration, development, production, transportation and marketing of crude oil and natural gas and their by-products. Through KFG Petroleum, the Company is engaged in the exploration, development and production of crude oil and the acquisition and operation of producing oil properties and is not engaged in transportation, refining or marketing activities.
Through KFG Petroleum, the Company has working interests in four gas properties, the Acres, Hackney, Lousch and Kansas University leases. Several new gas exploration projects have been entered into in Catahoula Parish and East Feliciana Parish that will be drill tested in the current fiscal year. Industry partners and funds from a private placement will be used to finance the projects as well as cash flow generated by KFG Petroleum and Shamrock Drilling.
Through Shamrock Drilling, the Company is engaged in the contract drilling of exploratory oil and gas wells for the account of third parties or for its own account.
The Company's activities in the States of Mississippi and Louisiana are carried on through its offices in Natchez, Mississippi. Kansas gas operations are managed out of a Company office in Denver, Colorado.
The Company has 4 main profit centers: (i) net sales of oil and natural gas; (ii) overhead from properties KFG Petroleum operates; (iii) interests in wells KFG Petroleum promotes for itself; and (iv) revenue from Shamrock Drilling operations.
At present, the Company has interests in 27 producing oil wells and 11 natural gas wells with working interests varying from 10.63% to 64.75% and covering approximately 2628 gross (422.4 net) acres. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, properties in which the Company had an interest produced approximately 96,228 barrels of crude oil, 9,604 barrels of which were for the Company's interest. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, the Company's interest in gas properties produced 36,865 net Mcf of gas for the Company.
The wells that KFG Petroleum operates are operated pursuant to operating agreements which govern the relationship between KFG Petroleum as operator and the other owners of working interests in the properties. For each operated well, KFG Petroleum receives monthly fees ranging from US$218 to US$506, which are competitive in the areas of operations. KFG Petroleum is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with well operations. KFG Petroleum attempts to assume the position of operator in wells in which it participates and in the acquisition of producing properties.
KFG Petroleum has historically acquired interests in oil properties through transactions with private investors in which the investors pay 100% of the costs and receive a 75% interest in the properties and KFG Petroleum receives a 25% carried interest in the properties. In this manner KFG Petroleum attempts to recover its costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of leases which are considered to warrant exploratory drilling, together with associated geology and engineering costs and general and administrative costs.
After exploratory drilling has been completed, KFG Petroleum and the investors jointly elect either to abandon the well or to attempt to put the well into production. In the latter case, KFG Petroleum pays its proportionate share (being 25% in the example where KFG Petroleum retains a 25% carried interest) of completion costs and expenses, and thereafter of operating expenses. In the case of a development well, all parties, including Petroleum, bear their share of the costs of drilling and, if successful, completion costs. Although the Company intends to continue to conduct its business and operations in this manner, it may in the future seek to acquire producing properties by purchasing selected properties or acquiring other corporations which have producing properties.
Approximately 90% of KFG Petroleum's oil production is purchased by Plains All American Inc., an unrelated party, and, as is customary for producers such as KFG Petroleum, purchases are not made under any contractual arrangements. The remainder of KFG Petroleum's production is sold to a small number of other purchasers. Under these arrangements the purchasers take all of the Company's production. The Company expects its present sale arrangements with Plains All American Inc. will continue, but if not, similar arrangements could be made with other purchasers. The price paid for KFG Petroleum's oil is the posted market price established by the purchaser.
KFG Petroleum currently has two contracts for the purchase of gas. Pursuant to a two-year agreement. Kansas Gas Supply has agreed to purchase all of the gas produced by the Acres Lease. The Lousch and Cronin wells are under a one year contract to Kansas Gas Supply which is renewable on a year to year basis. KFG Petroleum recently entered into a one-year agreement with PRG Incorporated ("PRG") wherein PRG agrees to purchase all gas produced by the Hackney "B", Kansas University and Christopher wells. The agreement with PRG will expire in June, 2001 unless KFG Petroleum exercises its option to renew the agreement for an additional year. The prices for both the Kansas Gas Supply and PRG agreements is based on the inside FERC price posted by the purchaser .
The Company has, in addition to its operating officers, a bookkeeper and an administrative assistant. Well operations are supervised by KFG Petroleum's officers and a field supervisor and four full-time pumpers and other field employees who are engaged as independent contractors.
While at the present, the price of oil and gas is considerably higher than one year ago, the oil and gas industry has, in the past, been uncertain and unstable largely due to excess oil production and production capability exerting their influence on petroleum markets.
