Business Context and Reporting Period

Company: Croff Enterprises, Inc. (Note: Input metadata listed "Therapeuticsmd, Inc.", but the filing text identifies the registrant as Croff Enterprises, Inc., formerly Croff Oil Company).

Reporting Period: Fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

Business Overview: The Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production, primarily through ownership of perpetual mineral interests and producing leases. It operates as a non-operator, participating in approximately 42 working interest wells and holding royalty interests in over 200 wells. In 2000, the Company's strategy focused on accumulating cash to repay prior debt rather than acquiring new properties, though it did participate in a 5% working interest in a test well in Oklahoma in late 2000.

Key Financial Metrics

Liquidity: As of December 31, 2000, the Company held $191,634 in cash and cash equivalents. Current assets totaled $289,501 against current liabilities of $16,206, resulting in a current ratio of approximately 18:1.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Surge: Oil and gas sales increased 72% to $368,022 in 2000 compared to $214,190 in 1999. This increase was driven almost entirely by higher commodity prices rather than increased production volumes.
• Price Increases: The average sales price for oil rose to $27.73 per barrel in 2000 (from $16.65 in 1999). Natural gas prices increased to $3.27 per MCF (from $1.95 in 1999).
• Production Volumes: Crude oil production remained relatively flat at 4,909 barrels (vs. 4,610 in 1999). Natural gas production decreased slightly to 71,487 MCF (vs. 74,300 in 1999).
• Expense Growth: Lease operating expenses and production taxes increased to $87,921 in 2000 from $66,532 in 1999, primarily due to higher severance taxes tied to increased revenues.
• Profitability: The Company returned to significant profitability with a net income of $131,668, compared to $12,430 in 1999 and a loss of $15,582 in 1998.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Outlook: Management intends to resume purchasing oil and natural gas leases in 2001, shifting away from the 2000 strategy of cash accumulation. The Company is actively searching for a reverse merger partner or acquisition target.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Commodity Price Dependence: Revenue and profit are heavily dependent on oil and natural gas prices, which are outside the Company's control.
• Non-Operator Status: The Company does not operate its wells and has no control over production rates, maintenance, or operational decisions.
• Related Party Transactions: The Company leases office space and shares services with Jenex Petroleum Corporation, owned by the President. It also purchased working interests from an affiliate (St. James Oil Ltd.) in 1998.
• Capital Structure: The Company utilizes a dual-class structure (Common and Preferred B). Preferred B shares represent the oil and gas assets and receive the majority of income generated from those assets. Common shareholders receive residual income.
• Environmental Liability: While the Company is not an operator, it may incur pro-rata liability for environmental violations or damages on properties in which it holds an interest.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Revenue Quality: Verify that the 2000 revenue increase is strictly price-driven and not volume-driven, as production volumes remained flat or declined.
• Related Party Terms: Review the terms of the office lease and service agreement with Jenex Petroleum Corporation to ensure costs are at market rates.
• Preferred B Allocation: Confirm the allocation of net income between Preferred B and Common shareholders, as Common shareholders received only $6,668 of the $131,668 total net income in 2000.
• Reserve Estimates: Note that proved reserves decreased slightly to 40,144 barrels of oil and 469,749 Mcf of gas; verify the sustainability of production without new acquisitions.
• Merger Activity: Monitor the Company's progress in finding a reverse merger partner, as this is a stated strategic priority for 2001.
