ITEM
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History
and Organization
Apex
Resources Group Inc. (the "Registrant" or "Company") is a development stage
company. It was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on
January 27, 1984. The Company was initially organized primarily to hold
overriding royalties of both producing and non-producing oil and gas properties.
However, the Company's articles of incorporation authorize it to engage in
all
aspects of the oil and gas business and for any other lawful
purpose.
In
1989,
the Company transferred its assets in exchange for cancellation of the Company's
debt and ceased operations until 1995. Since 1995, the Company has been
primarily engaged in the business of acquiring interests in oil and gas
properties.
Our
executive offices are located at Suite 610 - 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada V6C 2V6. Our telephone number is (604) 669-2723. Our
website is located at www.apexresourcesgroup.com.
Oil
and Gas Properties
Beaufort
Sea
The
Company holds a 3.745% working interest in the Beaufort Sea well Esso Pex Home,
et. al. Itiyok I-27, consisting of 640 acres, located at Latitude 70-00',
Longitude 134-00', Sections 7, 8, 17, 18, 27, 28 and 37. License No. 55, dated
April 22, 1987. During 1982 and 1983 a consortium of companies participated
in
drilling, casing and testing the area to a depth of 12,980 feet.
The
other
partners in the project are coordinated by Imperial Oil Resources. It
was recently announced that a consortium of oil and gas companies have filed
an
application to build a natural gas pipeline that could be used to transport
gas
from the Beaufort Sea region. This area will not be developed until a pipeline
is built.
Bastian
Bay Field, Plaquamines Parish, Louisiana
The
Company owns a 6.25% working interest in the Bastian Bay Field Lease #16152
in
Plaquamines Parish Louisiana. Until recently, Royal “T” Oil was the operator of
this well. It turned over its interest in the well to Imperial Petroleum, Inc.
Prior to Hurricane Katrina, Imperial had decided to work over the well at an
estimated cost of $906,800. It was the Company’s understanding that Imperial
intended to make a cash call to all participants. The participants in the well
would be given the choice to pay the cash call or continue on a non-consent
basis under which the non paying participants relinquish half of their working
interest after Imperial has recouped its expenditures. The Company had
determined to continue on a non-consent basis and not meet the cash call. If
the
Company fails to meet the cash call, its net revenue interest will be reduced
from 6.25% to 3.125%. The Company has not yet learned how Imperial intends
to
proceed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Henry
Dome Prospect, Texas
The
Company owns 2.5 participation units in the Henry Dome Prospect in McMullen
County, Texas, for $12,500. These units give the Company a 1.875% working
interest in JB Henry Dome #1 well. Initial flow testing of the well demonstrated
flow of 1.2 to 1.4 million cubic feet of gas per day. Following initial testing,
acid washing of the well was performed to attempt to increase flow rates.
Additional testing is ongoing as the operator has encountered many problems
with
this well. The estimated life expectancy of this well is at least six years.
Selection
of Target Areas for Acquisition
The
Company will continue to explore and investigate the acquisition of interests
in
other oil and gas properties. In most cases, the Company has and will continue
to seek to acquire only partial interests in properties thereby diversifying
its
risk. This will also allow the Company to acquire interests in more properties
than it otherwise could if it were to acquire complete interests in
properties.
Rather
than employ the significant staff that would be required to operate the wells
the Company may acquire, it will continue to seek out and locate qualified
local
operators, whom it will contract to manage the daily operations of the
particular properties. This aids the Company in keeping its overhead to a
minimum.
The
Company will seek to purchase interests for cash or in exchange for shares
of
its common stock, where allowed by law. The purchases made with cash will be
made with cash on hand, internally generated capital, financed through
conventional loans made by oil and gas lenders or through funds made available
through equity financing. The Company may consider issuing common stock to
project owners in situations where the project has significant upside potential
due to proven reserves that are behind pipe or that are undeveloped and for
which traditional financing cannot be obtained.
Market
for Oil Production
The
market for oil and gas production is regulated by federal, state and foreign
governments. The overall market is mature and with the exception of gas, all
producers in a producing region will receive the same price. The major oil
companies will purchase all crude oil offered for sale at posted field prices.
There are price adjustments for deviations from the quality standards
established by the purchaser. Oil sales are normally contracted with a
"gatherer"
which is
a third-party who contracts to pickup the oil at the well site. In some
instances there may be deductions for transportation from the wellhead to the
sales point. The majority of crude oil purchasers do not at this time charge
transportation fees, unless the well is outside their service area. The oil
gatherer will usually handle disbursements of sales revenue to both the owners
of the well (a "working
interest owner")
as well
as payments to persons entitled to royalties as a result of such sales
("royalty
owners").
The
Company typically will be a working interest owner in the projects that it
undertakes or in which it invests. By being a working interest owner, the
Company is responsible for the payment of its proportionate share of the
operating expenses of the well. Royalty owners receive a percentage of gross
oil
production for the particular lease and are not obligated in any manner
whatsoever to pay for the cost of operating the lease. Therefore, the Company,
in most instances, will be paying the expenses for the oil and gas revenues
paid
to the royalty owners.
Market
for Gas Production
In
contrast to sales of oil, the gas purchaser will pay the well operator 100%
of
the sales proceeds monthly for the previous month's sales. The operator is
responsible for all checks and distributions to the working interest and royalty
owners. There is no standard price for gas. Prices will fluctuate with the
seasons and the general market conditions. It is the Company's intention to
utilize this market whenever possible in order to maximize revenues. The Company
does not anticipate any significant change in the manner its gas production
would be purchased, however, no assurance can be given that such changes will
not occur in the future.
Competition
The
oil
and gas industry is highly competitive. Competition for prospects and producing
properties is intense. As the Company pursues new opportunities in oil and
gas
exploration, it will be competing with a number of other potential purchasers
of
prospects and producing properties, most of which will have greater financial
resources than the Company. The bidding for prospects has become particularly
intense with different bidders evaluating potential acquisitions with different
product pricing parameters and other criteria that result in widely divergent
bid prices. The presence in the market of bidders willing to pay prices higher
than are supported by the Company's evaluation criteria could further limit
the
ability of the Company to acquire prospects and low or uncertain prices for
properties can cause potential sellers to withhold or withdraw properties from
the market. In this environment, there can be no assurance that there will
be a
sufficient number of suitable prospects available for acquisition by the Company
or that the Company will be able to obtain financing for or participants to
join
in the development of prospects.
The
Company's competitors and potential competitors include major oil companies
and
independent producers of varying sizes. Most of the Company's competitors have
greater financial, personnel and other resources than the Company and therefore
have greater leverage to use in acquiring prospects, hiring personnel and
marketing oil and gas. A high degree of competition in these areas is expected
to continue indefinitely.
Governmental
Regulation
The
production and sale of oil and gas is subject to regulation by state, federal,
local authorities, and foreign governments. In most areas there are statutory
provisions regulating the production of oil and natural gas under which
administrative agencies may set allowable rates of production and promulgate
rules in connection with the operation and production of such wells, ascertain
and determine the reasonable market demand of oil and gas, and adjust allowable
rates with respect thereto.
The
sale
of liquid hydrocarbons was subject to federal regulation under the Energy Policy
and Conservation Act of 1975 that amended various acts, including the Emergency
Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973. These regulations and controls included
mandatory restrictions upon the prices at which most domestic crude oil and
various petroleum products could be sold. All price controls and restrictions
on
the sale of crude oil at the wellhead have been withdrawn. It is possible,
however, that such controls may be reimposed in the future but when, if ever,
such reimposition might occur and the effect thereof on the Company cannot
be
predicted.
Approvals
to conduct oil and gas exploration and production operations are required from
various governmental agencies. There is no assurance when and if such approvals
will be granted.
Environmental
Laws
The
Company intends to conduct its operations in compliance with all applicable
environmental laws. The cost of such compliance has been and will be factored
into the estimated costs of drilling and production. The effects of applicable
environmental laws are to add to the cost of operations and to add to the time
it takes to bring a project to fruition.
Employees
The
Company currently has no full-time employees. The officers provide services
to
the Company on an as needed basis. The Company contracts out with consultants
to
provide all other necessary services.

6. MANAGEMENTS’ DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our results
of
operations and our present financial condition. Our Financial Statements and
the
accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB contain additional
information that should be referred to when reviewing this material.
Statements
in this discussion may be forward-looking. These forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below, which could
cause actual results to differ from those expressed. Please read Forward-Looking
Information on page 3.
General
The
Company is a development stage company engaged in the exploration of gas and
oil. The Company has been engaged in the gas and oil business since 1995.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company currently does not have sufficient cash reserves or cash flow from
operations to meet its cash requirements. This raises substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the year ended June
30, 2005, the Company financed its operations primarily through the issuance
of
Company securities and loans from related parties. During the quarter ended
December 31, 2004, the Company received subscriptions to purchase 18,000,000
shares of its common stock in private placement transactions for cash totaling
$2,450,000. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has received $23,000. The Company’s
balance sheet reflects the remaining balance as stock subscriptions receivable.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company caused its transfer
agent to issue the 18,000,000 shares. These shares, however, are being held
in
escrow and will only be delivered out as funds are received by the Company.
During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued a total of 9,850,143
common shares in satisfaction of expenses and for services rendered in the
total
amount of $401,974. The Company issued an aggregate of 5,311,300 shares in
satisfaction of debt obligations in the amount of $106,230. The Company also
issued 100,000 shares for $10,000 cash.
On
June
30, 2005, the Company had cash on hand of $18,507, as cash flows from operating
and financing activities only partially offset cash flows used in investing
activities.
The
Company has plans to further develop its oil and gas properties, which will
require substantial additional working capital which the Company does not
currently have. Moreover, the Company does not anticipate significant revenue
from its operating activities in the upcoming quarter.
