Note 1.
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Capital City
Energy Group, Inc. (“Capital City”) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in
Capital City’ annual report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have
been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to
the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the
disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent
fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 as reported in Form 8-K/A have been
omitted.
Note 2.
Organization and Business
Operations
On May 2,
2003, Capital City Marketing Services, LLC (“Marketing”) was formed as an Ohio
limited liability company . On September 30, 2003, Marketing changed its name to
Capital City Petroleum, LLC (the “Company”). On September 28, 2006,
the Company was merged with Capital City Petroleum, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company. The main purpose of the Company was to form and manage the
oil and gas interests of various Capital City Energy Funds (the “Funds”). On
October 18, 2007, the Company was converted into Capital City Petroleum, Inc., a
Delaware corporation. All references to shares authorized and outstanding have
been restated to reflect the conversion on a retroactive basis.
At June
30, 2008, Capital City managed oil and gas investments for two energy funds
(Capital City Energy Fund XIV, LLC and Capital City Energy Fund XVI, LP). These
investments consisted of non-operating oil and gas working interests in wells in
Louisiana, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma and
Arkansas with net revenue interests ranging from 50.00% to 0.0013%. The gross
number of wells in which these two Funds owned an interest is 69 and the number
of net wells is 3.82.
The
Company’s results of operations are dependent on four sources of revenue. The
first being the 2% annual management fees earned for managing the Capital City
Energy Funds and the second being the difference between the prices received by
the Company for its natural gas and crude oil products and the cost to
find, develop, produce and market such resources. The third source of
revenue the Company receives is through consulting fees earned by Eastern Well
Services, LLC a wholly subsidiary. Eastern Well Services is an
oilfield service company which is transitioning from receiving consulting fees
from oil & gas operating companies to a becoming a full service oilfield
service company and charging for services such as wireline, logging, testing and
other well completion services. The fourth source of revenue which
accounts for the majority of revenue earned in the first six months is the oil
& natural gas revenue received from the fractional ownership interests in
more than 178 wells located in 12 different states.
The first
six months was a transition period for the Company as we moved from receiving
the majority of revenue from the Fund Management Division of the Company in 2007
and previous years to receiving the majority of revenue from the direct
ownership of interests in energy properties. We acquired Avanti Energy Partners
during the first six months of the year which is managing the Capital City
Energy Funds and will transition to a full service oil and natural gas operating
company before the end of 2008. We completed a second acquisition in
the first six months in the oilfield service sector, The company
acquired was Eastern Well Services and began operations through consulting oil
and natural gas operating companies on their well completion in the continental
United States and Internationally.
We moved
our accounting offices to North Canton, Ohio which affords the Company greater
opportunity to employ quality oil and gas staff accountants from the large pool
of oil and gas accounting people without the added cost of relocating them to
Columbus, Ohio our corporate offices. We also leased a facility situated on 30
acres in Burbank, Ohio for the Headquarters of Eastern Well Services. This
facility will allow Eastern to service oil and gas operating companies for their
well completion in the Northeastern Ohio area, Northwestern Pennsylvania area
and Northwestern New York as they move to become a full service oilfield service
company.

Note

S
ummary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Capital
City's consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant
estimates, including oil and gas reserve quantities which are the basis for the
calculation of depreciation, depletion and impairment of oil and gas properties,
and timing and costs associated with its retirement obligations.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature
within three months of the date of purchase.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject Capital City to concentration of credit
risk consist of cash. At June 30, 2008, Capital City had approximately $475,000
in cash in excess of federally insured limits. Capital City maintains cash
accounts only at large high quality financial institutions and Capital City
believes the credit risk associated with cash held in banks is
remote.
Capital
City's receivables primarily consist of accounts receivable from oil and gas
sales. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not
bear interest. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's
estimate of the amount of probable losses due to the inability to collect from
customers. As of June 30, 2008, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been
recorded and none of the accounts receivable have been
collateralized.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
As of
June 30, 2008, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts
payable, including amounts due to and from related parties, if any, approximate
carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
Property
and Equipment
The cost
of leasehold improvement and office equipment are recorded at cost and
depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, which range from three to five years.
Oil
and Gas Properties, Successful Efforts Method
Capital
City uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing
activities. Under the successful efforts method, costs to acquire mineral
interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that
find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells are capitalized.
Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological
and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties
are expensed as incurred.
Unproved
oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically
assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of
impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are
amortized based on Capital City's experience of successful drilling and average
holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after
considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage
values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support
equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives.
On the
sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the
property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the
retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or
loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved
property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized,
taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property
had been assessed individually.
CAPITAL
CITY ENERGY GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
If a
partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated
as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
In April
2005, the FASB issued Staff Interpretation No. 19-1 ("FSP 19-1") Accounting for
Suspended Well Costs, which provides guidance on the accounting for exploratory
well costs and proposes an amendment to FASB -35- Statement No. 19 ("FASB 19"),
Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies. The
guidance in FSP 19-1 applies to enterprises that use the successful efforts
method of accounting as described in FASB 19. The guidance in FSP 19-1 did not
have a material impact our consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. Capital City had no capitalized exploratory well
costs at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
Capital
City follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS No. 143). The fair
value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it
is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present
value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset. For Capital City, asset retirement
obligations relate to the abandonment of oil and gas producing facilities. The
amounts recognized are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including
future retirement costs, future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future
inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.
Income
Taxes
Capital
City accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred taxes are provided on
temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets
using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when
the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
In July
2006, the FASB issued "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an
interpretation of FAS 109 ("FIN 48"), effective for years beginning after
December 15, 2006. FIN 48 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for
recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements.
Also, FIN 48 implements a process for measuring those tax positions which meet
the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the
taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact to the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company files tax returns in
the United States and states in which it has operations and is subject to
taxation. Tax years subsequent to 2004 remain open to examination by U.S.
federal and state tax jurisdictions.
Revenue
Recognition
Capital
City recognizes oil and natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting
for its interests in producing wells as oil and natural gas is produced and sold
from those wells. Oil and natural gas sold by Capital City is not significantly
different from Capital City’s share of production. Revenues from
management fees are recognized in the preceding month at end of each calendar
quarter and paid in arrears.
Income
(Loss) per Share of Common Stock
Basic and
diluted net income per share calculations are presented in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Statement 128 and are calculated on the basis of
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common
stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation when a loss is incurred as
their effect would be anti-dilutive. The basic income per share of common stock
is based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding at the
date of the financial statements. Capital City had 2,763,049 warrants at June
30, 2008 that were out of the money and are therefore
anti-dilutive.
Share-Based
Compensation
As of
December 31, 2007, Capital City had not issued any share-based payments to its
employees.
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Revised" effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective method. Under
FASB Statement 123(R), the Company estimates the fair value of each stock option
award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, stock options were valued with the following
weighted average assumptions used for grants; dividend yield of 0.00 percent;
expected volatility of 40.25%; risk-free interest rate of 3.29% and expected
lives of 1 year. Compensation expense related to options granted in the first
six months of 2008 and 2007 was $86,182 and $-0-, respectively.

5 Participating
Interest Financing Arrangement
The
Company entered into a series of financing agreements for aggregate proceeds of
$1,500,000 whereby participating revenue interests were conveyed to individual
lenders in certain oil and gas properties owned by the Company. The
principal terms of the agreements provided for a production payment from the net
revenue interests in certain wells in which the Company owns a working interest;
provides a minimum return on investment of 12% in the first year only; and
provides a put option to the holders in Month 13. The put option
provides the holder the sole right to put the participating revenue interest to
the Company for the original principal amount. The put options expire
during the period March to May of 2009. The Company determined that
these transactions were financings as the put option creates a debt obligation
until such option expires, at which time, the transactions will be recorded as a
sale. Any gain or loss on the sale of the properties would then be
recognized in the statements of operations.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company purchased office equipment under
secured financing agreements. The financing agreements will become long-term
capital leases or purchase contracts if the Company does not pay them in full
during July 2008. The contracts bear interest at 21.5% per annum.

period of 12 months at which time we issued 40,000 shares of our Common Stock
for the upfront engagement fee, a $15,000 retainer and have agreed to pay a
monthly consulting fee of $7,500, the contract expires on March 12,
2009.
On March
28, 2008, the Company issued 29,796 shares of its common stock to the Eagle
Foundation in lieu of a cash payment for a note payable that was previously
entered into by the Company. The original note was executed in the

to $100,000. The issuance of 29,796 shares of common stock retired
the note in its entirety.

MANAGEMENT’S
ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
Capital
City Energy Group, Inc., through its consolidated operations, is an independent
oil and natural gas company currently focused on the execution of its Triad
business model. The Triad business model includes our Fund Management
Division, Principal Investment Division and Strategic Acquisition
Division.
The Fund
Management Division
is overseen by our wholly owned subsidiary, Avanti
Energy Partners, LLC. This Division markets income oriented direct
participation programs directly to regional Broker-Dealers and are called the
Capital City Energy Funds. We have focused on expanding our
distribution channels for these funds through the first 6 months of 2008 and
have grown the distribution from one Broker-Dealer with 30 Brokers at the
beginning of 2008 to more than 6 Broker-Dealers with over 600
Brokers.
We have
committed to sponsor vendor conferences over the next couple of months for 4
separate regional Broker-Dealers, where we will highlight our Energy Funds to
the individual Brokers. The growth in distribution has been costly to
the Company over the last 2 quarters, which we believe will be recovered by in
significant revenue growth for Capital City over the next several
quarters.
The Principal
Investment Division
is also overseen by our wholly owned subsidiary,
Avanti Energy Partners, LLC (“Avanti”). We continued to bring well
positions online in some of the major basins of the continental United
States. We participated in one of the last remaining well and acreage
positions operated by Grand Energy in the Barnett Shale natural gas formation in
central Texas. Avanti continues its strategy of diversifying its
portfolio of oil and natural gas investments and is benefiting from strong well
performance in the prolific Barnett Shale in central Texas, dual zone
completions in the Buda and Georgetown in Southeast Texas, deeper oil production
from the Louisiana Gulf Coast and the Smackover trend in Alabama. We
have continued our participation the Woodford Shale in southern Oklahoma and the
Fayetteville Shale in central Arkansas. However, as we continue to
diversify our portfolio of energy properties our focus is shifting to our own
backyard in the Appalachian Basin and Oklahoma area where we will have the
ability to perform our own well completion through our wholly owned subsidiary
Eastern Well Services, LLC thus increasing our overall net
margins. We have acquired several acreage positions in the
Appalachian Basin that will be developed in the 3
rd
quarter
with the expectation to bring these new well positions online and generating
revenue for the company within the 4
th
quarter
of 2008. Our goal is to partner with a local oil and gas operator in
the area to oversee the drilling and operation of these planned wells, which has
been customary with the other positions in our portfolio.
The Strategic
Acquisition Division
made significant strides through Eastern Well
Services, LLC (“Eastern”), a wholly owned subsidiary. Eastern opened
its Corporate Headquarters in Burbank, Ohio. Situated on 30 acres, this facility
anticipates being fully operational with wireline services late in the 3
rd
quarter
of 2008. Eastern tripled its management and staff to 8 full time
employees in Ohio and Oklahoma and expects to triple their staff again in the
3
rd
quarter of 2008 as both locations become fully operational in oil field
services. Eastern’s contract to provide consulting engineers for well
completion with Saber Exploration, Pty Limited in Botswana, South Africa has
grown from 2 full time consulting engineers to 5 full time consulting
engineers. Saber Exploration was contracted by the Botswana
Government to drill coalbed methane wells to fuel power generation facilities
within Botswana. This Division continues active negotiations with oil
field service companies for acquisition to strengthen the Division and
Eastern.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
REVENUES
Revenues
increased to $1,547,848 during the first six months of 2008, compared to revenue
of $1,405,511 during the first six months of 2007.
Management
revenues increased to $302,741 over first six months due the Capital City Energy
Funds, the acquisition of Eastern Well Services, and Avanti Energy Partners
compared to $112,081 for same period in 2007.
Total net
oil and gas production realized from principal investments was 8,892 barrels of
oil and 59,230 thousand cubic feet (MCF) of natural gas for the first six months
of 2008. Production for first six months of 2007 was 9,288 barrels of
oil and 61,597 thousand cubic feet (MCF) of natural gas.
Average
commodity price realized on the principal investment portfolio production for
the first six months of 2008 was $97.82 per barrel of oil, and $7.99 per
thousand cubic feet (MCF) of natural gas. Pricing for the first six
months of 2007 was $81 per barrel of oil and $8 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) of
natural gas.
LEASE
OPERATING EXPENSES
For the
first six months of 2008, lease operating expenses (LOE) increased to $403,378
compared to $399,655 during the first six months of 2007 due to increased levels
of field production from the principle investment portfolio. Typical LOE
expenses include operating labor and field supervision, water hauling and
disposal fees, communications, fuel and lease vehicles, and environmental and
safety compliance.
DEPRECIATION
AND DEPLETION
Depreciation
and depletion expenses totaled $387,771 for the first six months of 2008,
slightly below the results for the first six months of 2007 of
$384,415. This decrease is not unexpected due to the depletion of the
reserves of the producing wells in the portfolio.
SELLING,
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
For the
six month period ending June 30, 2008, the general and administrative expenses
totaled $1,581,562 which was a sharp increase for the same period in 2007 of
$430,369. The increase in operating expenses was driven by
significant one-time costs associated with our reverse merger into a public
entity in March of 2008 and the execution of our Triad model business plan as
further outlined.
The cost
associated with our reverse merger into a public company such as Legal,
Accounting and Investment Banking fees were substantial for the first six months
of 2008. The accounting rules which apply to reverse merger accounting for SEC
reporting purposes did not allow our firm to capitalized these significant costs
which had to be expensed as they occurred. These expenses were paid from
revenues generated by the Company during this period rather through the
customary capital raising activities or debt incurred by most companies that
elect to become public. The costs associated with our reverse merger totaled in
excess of $500,000.
·
|
The
one-time build out expense and expansion of the North Canton, Ohio
Accounting Office including additional staff accountants increased the
operating expenses in excess of $140,000 for the first six
months.
|
·
|
The
one-time build out expenses for our Burbank, Ohio wireline facility for
Eastern Well Services increased the operating expenses in excess of
$150,000 for the first six months.
|
·
|
The
addition of staff for Eastern Well Services and Avanti Energy Partners
increased operating expenses by nearly $55,000 for the first six
months.
|
·
|
Engaged
two new investor relation firms and engaged a national public relations
firm to market the company, its stock and the Capital City Energy
Funds. They received shares valued at more than $136,000 in
addition to their monthly consulting
fees.
|
·
|
Options
were granted to officers and directors of the company which were valued at
$86,000 for the quarter.
|
·
|
Investor
relations,public relations and general marketing costs associated with
being public were approximately $177,000 for the first six
months
|
INTEREST
EXPENSE
Interest
expense of $38,058 for the first six months of 2008 was down substantially from
its level of $201,344 recorded for the first six months of 2007. Last
year it was necessary for us to impute interest expense on the convertible debt
relating to the beneficial conversion feature attached to the convertible
debt. Once the debt was converted and /or paid, the interest expense
was eliminated.
INCOME
TAX EXPENSE
Income
tax expense was $30,169 for the six month period ending June 30,
2008. During the first six months of 2007, we were organized as a
limited liability company and the company flowed all tax expense and benefit to
its members.
NET
INCOME
Net loss
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,072,561, compared to a net loss of
$10,272 for the same period ended 2007 due to the factors described
above.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
June 30, 2008, we had total current assets of $1,256,835. The current
assets consisted mainly of cash in the amount of $475,215, prepaid expenses in
the amount of $111,765 and accounts receivable in the amount of
$619,630.
Our total
current liabilities as of June 30, 2008 were $1,879,944. The current
liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of
$275,042, and notes payable-current portion in the amount of
$25,491. In addition, we had $7,538,255 in stockholders’ equity as of
June 30, 2008. This compares to current assets of $1,216,835
and total liabilities of $2,135,697 for the period ended December 31,
2007.
Assets at
December 31, 2007 consisted of cash in the amount of $200,451, prepaid expenses
of $40,991 and accounts receivable in the amount of
$414,826. Liabilities as of December 31, 2007 consisted of accounts
payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $360,708 and notes payable-related
party in the amount of $100,000 remaining payable for the period ended December
31, 2007. We have adequate capital to fund our ongoing operations for
at least the next twelve months. An acceleration of acquisitions or
our planned investments in energy properties and continued expansion of our
various divisions over the next twelve months may require additional
expenditures. Additional financing through partnering, public or
private equity financings, lease transactions or other financing sources may not
be available on acceptable terms, or at all. An initial equity financing could
result in significant dilution to our shareholders.
CASH
FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was
$754,330, versus net cash used in operating activities of $450,888 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007 principally due to higher general and
administrative costs incurred in corporate development activities.
CASH
FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was
$396,097, primarily attributed to our purchase of equipment and oil and gas
properties , versus net cash used in investing activities of $0 for the six
month period ended June 30, 2007. Our investing activities were funded
from cash generated from operations and financing
CASH
FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities
was $1,425,193, primarily attributed to$ 1,500,000 of proceeds from notes

month period ended June 30, 2007.
HEDGING

not hedge any of our oil or natural gas production during 2008 and have not
entered into any such hedges from June 30, 2008 through the date of this
filing.
CONTRACTUAL
COMMITMENTS
None.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of
June 30, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At a
meeting of our Board of Directors held on June 23, 2008, the Board voted to pay
Mr. Timothy W. Crawford, CEO, his annual salary in stock via a deferred
compensation fund in the form of stock to be paid on the last trading day of
each month at a price equal to the average of the last bid and ask for the
trading day. No payments or issuances of shares have yet been
made. The deferred compensation fund is in the process of being
established.
Subsequent
to the Board of Directors meeting held on June 23, 2008 wherein it was decided
to pay Mr. Timothy Crawford’s annual salary in stock via a deferred compensation
fund, on August 11, 2008, Mr. Timothy W. Crawford, our CEO issued a letter to
our Board of Directors stating that effective immediately and retroactively, he
has elected to perform his duties as CEO without compensation for the 2008
calendar year. Mr. Crawford further indicated that since we had
incurred additional costs as a public entity that we did not have as a private
company, and as one of the Company’s largest beneficial shareholders, he felt it
was appropriate to help defray some of the expenses by eliminating his
compensation this year, in order to enhance Capital City’s
earnings.
Mr.
Crawford and Joseph Smith, both members of our Board of Directors are greater
than 10% members of CCSSM Partners, LLC, which manages the Opportunity Fund,
LLC. The Opportunity Fund, LLC has invested $100,000 in the NGO
Production Participation Program.
Daniel
Coffee (“Lessor”), our Chief Operating Officer and a member of our Board of
Directors, has entered into a lease agreement with the Company whereby the
Company leases from Lessor approximately 1,024 rentable square feet of office
space and approximately 30 acres and identified as 920 West Easton, Burbank,
Ohio 44214. The term of the lease shall be ten years beginning on or
about the 1
st
day of
June, 2008, and ending on June 30, 2018, unless sooner terminated in accordance
with the terms in the lease.
Ms.
Barbara Coffee, wife of Mr. Coffee, sold the rights to Eastern and Avanti to the
Company for the sum of $3,500. Ms. Coffee elected to be compensated
in stock rather than cash. Pursuant to that, on April 16, 2008, the
Company issued Ms. Coffee 1,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $3.50 per
share.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical
Accounting Policies
Oil
and Gas Properties, Successful Efforts Method
Capital
City uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing
activities. Under the successful efforts method, costs to acquire mineral
interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that
find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells are capitalized.
Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological
and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties
are expensed as incurred.
Unproved
oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically
assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of
impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are
amortized based on Capital City's experience of successful drilling and average
holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after
considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage
values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support
equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives.
On the
sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the
property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the
retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or
loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved
property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized,
taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property
had been assessed individually.
If a
partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated
as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
In April
2005, the FASB issued Staff Interpretation No. 19-1 ("FSP 19-1") Accounting for
Suspended Well Costs, which provides guidance on the accounting for exploratory
well costs and proposes an amendment to FASB -35- Statement No. 19 ("FASB 19"),
Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies. The
guidance in FSP 19-1 applies to enterprises that use the successful efforts
method of accounting as described in FASB 19. The guidance in FSP 19-1 did not
have a material impact our consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. Capital City had no capitalized exploratory well
costs at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
Capital
City follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS No. 143). The fair
value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it
is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present
value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset. For Capital City, asset retirement
obligations relate to the abandonment of oil and gas producing facilities. The
amounts recognized are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including
future retirement costs, future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future
inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.
Income
Taxes
Capital
City accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred taxes are provided on
temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets
using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when
the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
In July
2006, the FASB issued "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an
interpretation of FAS 109 ("FIN 48"), effective for years beginning after
December 15, 2006. FIN 48 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for
recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements.
Also, FIN 48 implements a process for measuring those tax positions which meet
the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the
taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact to the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company files tax returns in
the United States and states in which it has operations and is subject to
taxation. Tax years subsequent to 2004 remain open to examination by U.S.
federal and state tax jurisdictions.
Revenue
Recognition
Capital
City recognizes oil and natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting
for its interests in producing wells as oil and natural gas is produced and sold
from those wells. Oil and natural gas sold by Capital City is not significantly
different from Capital City’s share of production.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Market
risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices. We are exposed to risks related to increases in the prices of fuel and
raw materials consumed in exploration, development and production. We do not
engage in commodity price hedging activities.
ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
MANAGEMENT'S
EVALUATION ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have reviewed and
continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our controls and procedures over
financial reporting and disclosure (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report. The term "disclosure controls and procedures"
is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. This term
refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it
files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. In designing and evaluating our controls and procedures over
financial reporting and disclosure, our management recognized that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our
management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
An
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30,
2008.
The
principal reasons that our disclosure and procedure controls were determined to
be ineffective was due principally to the number of adjustments identified by
our auditors in their review of the quarterly financial
statements. Our assessment considered the recent increase in
disclosure and procedure controls following our reverse merger into a public
company. We concluded that we need to implement additional disclosure
controls and procedures related to the evaluation of accounting policies and
procedures used in our accounting records particularly related to oil and gas
accounting matters and increased training of personnel in SEC reporting
requirements. Management is developing a plan to enhance controls in
these areas to ensure the accurate and timely filing of its SEC
reports.
CHANGES
IN INTERNAL CONTROL
We made
no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
