My Note: Even though revenue went down due to the 50% decline in oil prices, KFG was still able to add cash to the company treasury and continue drilling despite 3 dry wells back to back. Without the two events, earnings would have been much higher for the quarter. As well, with every new producing well KFG puts online, management fee revenue will also increase on a monthly basis.
MD&A Highlights
For the nine months ended January 31, 2015, the Company had cash flow from oil and gas production of $1,469,120, compared to $1,116,992 for the nine months ended January 31, 2014. Oil production increased from 77.51 BOPD to 105.06 BOPD, and gas production decreased 1.19 MCF per day. The average price of gas increased $0.38 per MCF and the average price of crude oil decreased $15.05 per bbl when comparing the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2014.
Overall, the Company has recovered from giving up 25% of its interested in the Fayette Field wells at payout. Currently, with the MacNeil wells and Craig wells at payout, revenues are on a growth pattern again. The Company was able to grow just utilizing cash flow. Several new projects are in the pipeline and the Craig #3 well will payout in the next few months, increasing that revenue stream. KFG will have no problems financing growth through its internal cash flow throughout the remainder of its fiscal year ending April 30, 2015. In addition, the Barnum #2 well is on production as of mid September 2014. The Craig #4 well was recently completed as a dryhole. With the Company’s current cash position, the Company is in a good position to weather the current collapse in oil prices from about $84 in October 2014 to around $55 - $60/bbl at this writing and will still show positive cashflow. The Company’s operating cost per bbl is currently $18.85/bbl. Currently, the Company has two wells awaiting completion drilled in February 2015 – both in Adams county. The Barnum #3 well encountered the main field zone in the Parker sand at 6,400’. The Company has a 9% working interest in the well converting to a 20.55% working interest at payout. The Craig #5 well encountered the main pay zone at 1,300’ and an additional oil zone at 10,214’. The Company has a 21.5% working interest in this well. With $2,133,800 in cash, the Company is well positioned to weather the current price collapse in crude oil. KFG has a current ratio of 2.27 to 1.
During the quarter ended January 31, 2015, the Company saw a major price collapse in the price of crude oil resulting in revenues of $446,746 compared to the prior quarter’s revenue in excess of $800,000. Greatly lower costs during the period allowed the Company to limit its losses compared to the corresponding quarter ending January 31, 2014. With its cash position and lack of debt, the Company is well positioned and is not planning to cut back its exploration and development.
The Company’s main sources of liquidity are internally-generated cash flow from its oil and gas operations. Because KFG’s internally-generated cash flow is presently sufficient to fund its overall operating expenses, the Company will not require additional funding from equity capital markets in order to execute on its business strategy. A decline in the prices of natural gas and oil, could materially and adversely impact on KFG’s ability to secure partners in drilling projects, with the result that the Company may be forced to scale back its operational activities.
KFG had cash at January 31, 2015 of $2,133,800. Oil production at Fayette is providing positive cash flow and will continue to do just that. As of now, the Company plans to expand as cash flow permits. The Company is experiencing new cash flow from the Craig #1 and #2 wells, and the MacNeil #2 and #3 wells as well as having the Dale lease back on line. Also in the quarter, the Craig #3 well was completed; producing 50 BOPD and the Barnum #2 well was completed and is now producing to 80 BOPD. In addition, the Craig #1 and #2 and the MacNeil #2 and #3 have paid out causing the Company’s revenue from those wells to more than double. Even at current prices, the Company is producing positive cash flow.
In January and February 2015, the Company drilled 4 wells. Two dry holes in Franklin County, MS where the Company’s exposure was limited to 10% in each dry hole and two development wells – the Craig #5 and the Barnum #3 that are still awaiting completion due to bad weather. In the Craig #5 well, the Company has a 21.5 % working interest and it is expected to be a large source of new revenue once completed and on production. There are no plans at present to curtail the Company’s programs.
The Company is not contemplating any other transactions which have not already been disclosed. The Company continues to look at other property acquisitions and to seek joint venture partners on its properties on a regular basis.
Share Capital
The total number of shares outstanding as at January 31, 2015 and March 27, 2015, is 50,584,144. As of January 31, 2015 and March 27, 2015, there were no stock options or warrants outstanding.
Outlook
Production at Fayette is stable and has started a slow decline. With the Dale lease back on production and new production coming off the Craig and Parker leases, KFG will have adequate internal cash flow to develop existing leases as well as support several new prospects in the coming months. The Company’s outlook for the next twelve months is positive. With a current ratio of 2.27, KFG is well positioned to prosper during this period of much lower oil prices. In January and February 2015, KFG drilled 4 wells – two shallow dry holes in Franklin, Co. MS and two successful development wells in Adams Co. MS – the Barnum #3 and the Craig #5. Both wells are waiting on completion. Five new projects are in various stages of completion and are expected to be ready to drill by early summer. There is also development still to be done on the Barnum and Craig leases.
