Key Financial Metrics
This filing reports a specific transaction rather than periodic financial performance. Consequently, revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, and debt levels are not disclosed in this document.
- Transaction Value: Aggregate purchase price of US$400,000.
- Asset Acquired: 100% undivided working interest and 87% Net Revenue Interest (NRI) in oil and gas leases and a pre-existing well.
- Property Size: 2,304 hectares in the Bentley area of Alberta, Canada.
- Payment Terms: Incremental payments based on administrative benchmarks; closing occurs within 30 days of full payment (no later than 135 days from signing).
- Price Adjustment: Purchase price reduces to $360,000 if a continuation application for one lease is not approved.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the expansion of the Company's asset base through the acquisition of the "Property" from Shalex Corporation. The Company assumes responsibility for maintenance costs for fiscal years ending December 31, 2014, and 2015, on a pro-rata basis from the signing date.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Closing Conditions: Transfer of title is contingent upon the completion of administrative benchmarks and full payment of the Purchase Price.
- Termination Rights: The Company may terminate if issues arise preventing the intended use of the Property prior to final payment. Shalex may terminate if payments are not made by the deadline.
- Surrender Option: The Company retains the right to surrender leases by non-payment of delay rentals with 60 days' written notice, subject to assigning interest back to Shalex if Shalex does not agree to the surrender.
- Regulatory Risk: The purchase price is contingent on the approval of a lease continuation application.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's current liquidity to fund the incremental $400,000 purchase price.
- Confirm the status of the administrative benchmarks required to close the transaction.
- Assess the regulatory status of the lease continuation application that could reduce the purchase price to $360,000.
- Review the specific maintenance cost obligations for the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years.
