Terms
Revenue:
For a company, this is the total amount of money received by the company for goods sold or services provided during a certain time period. It also includes all net sales, exchange of assets; interest and any other increase in owner’s equity and is calculated before any expenses are subtracted. Net income can be calculated by subtracting expenses from revenue. In terms of reporting revenue in a company's financial statements, different companies consider revenue to be received, or "recognized", different ways. For example, revenue could be recognized when a deal is signed, when the money is received, when the services are provided, or at other times. There are rules specifying when revenue should be recognized in different situations for companies using different accounting methods, such as cash basis and accrual basis.
Earnings:
Revenues minus cost of sales, operating expenses, and taxes, over a given period of time. Earnings are the reason corporations exist, and are often the single most important determinant of a stock's price. Earnings are important to investors because they give an indication of the company's expected future dividends and its potential for growth and capital appreciation. That does not necessarily mean that low or negative earnings always indicate a bad stock; for example, many young companies report negative earnings as they attempt to grow quickly enough to capture a new market, at which point they'll be even more profitable than they otherwise might have been. also called income.
Gross Earnings:
An Companys taxable income before any appropriate adjustments are made.
In this case Gross Profit is Gross Earnings.
Operating Costs/Loss:
The day-to-day expenses incurred in running a company such as sales and administration, as opposed to production. also called operating expenses.
What it cost to get the oil/gas out of the ground (consolidated)
Hope this helps
Good luck
Never (mix the two)
I would never confuse the two.
Send me the link to that report.
I cant seem to find it.
The total sales price for the Palo Pinto acquisition ("Sales Price") is $4,800,000. The sales price includes $3,600,000 and 12,500,000 restricted shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of UPDA plus 4,000,000 restricted shares of common stock par value $.001 per share of Heartland. The number of shares of UPDA common stock and the number of shares of Heartland common stock will be adjusted as of the date of closing to reflect a total payment of $800,000 in UPDA common stock and $400,000 in HOGC common stock. The sales price may be adjusted based on gas imbalances and oil in storage. As of August 20, 2007, the 12,500,000 shares of UPDA common stock were issued to the sellers.

The lighter side:
• So you bought 500k of UPAD @ .09 = 45000 current net loss @ .04 = 25000
• UPDA granted long holders 1/50 of CFUL = 10000@ 3 = 30k
Now CFUL just reported Q2 gross earnings at $ 5,783,701 up from 22,500. Lets multiply that by 4 = 32mil
(Data from http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070816/20070816005249.html?.v=1)
However CFUL is expanding by 50%:
• within the next 2-3 weeks, Continental will have increased its storage capacity by about 50%
(data from http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070725/20070725005323.html?.v=1)
So now 35mil turns into around 50mil per year at current gas and diesel prices. Keep in mind this all happen in 3-6 months. Now what’s your CFUL stock worth? Now on the speculative side what if CFUL keeps this pace into 2008?
Will HTOG achieve the same forward momentum? Will I get a shit load of HTOG for “Jack” in 2008?
Now who do you think paid for these acquisitions and leases? Does stock dilution ring a bell? This is why companies go public. Could they have been a little more prudent and organized the company correct the first time and saved 200-300mil preferred shares. Ahh YES. But we are where we are now. That’s why we are all bitching.
However, now the company makes sense to me being from a mining background
• Property acquisition, legal and risk management
• Marketing and distribution
• Product acquisition
• Maintenance and drilling
Oh lets not forget the dept movement from UPDA to Hartland (about time)
The acquisition is effective for all production generated by the wells since July 1, 2007. The purchase price of $3.6 million cash plus over $250,000 of closing costs included a $3.25 million conventional loan from by Sheridan Asset Management, LLC of White Plains, New York and over $600,000 cash from UPDA
(data from http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070820/20070820005351.html?.v=2)
I can’t stop smiling at the fact that I paid “jack” for a shit load of CFUL stock. I’m thinking me and some other here should get together and take Mr. Kamal Abdallah out for some beer and strippers!
My two cents (for what it's worth)
Good luck
dont want to get to far into this but:
it reads:
The Term Loan is secured by a lien, more fully described in the Security Agreement, on all the assets of the Registrant and the assets of its subsidiaries, and is further secured by the pledges, mortgages and other security interests set forth in the Loan Documents.
Normal loan legal, thus to protect the assets they have agreed to:
Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, Mr. Kamal Abdallah, the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors, and Mr. Christopher McCauley, the Registrant's Vice President and Secretary and a member of the board of directors, each agreed to the use of their respective shares of the Registrant's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and other personal assets, as additional collateral for the Term Loan and to execute and provide personal guarantees for the repayment of the principal of the Term Loan and for the completion of the other commitments of the Registrant under the terms of the Loan Documents.
it's only a 3mil, they have already maked that this week (not a big deal)
why is that? sell?
Skin in the game!!!!
This gives me some confidence.
All the directors have agreed to lose their own personal shares and other personal assets to back this loan. If that not a motivator to turn this company around I’m not sure what is.
I’ll make my mind up from the Q3 report after the streamlining of the business is complete.
Form 8-K
Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, Mr. Kamal Abdallah, the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors, and Mr. Christopher McCauley, the Registrant's Vice President and Secretary and a member of the board of directors, each agreed to the use of their respective shares of the Registrant's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and other personal assets, as additional collateral for the Term Loan and to execute and provide personal guarantees for the repayment of the principal of the Term Loan and for the completion of the other commitments of the Registrant under the terms of the Loan Documents.
Response to another article (but good read)
Don't believe Mr. Kaplin is currently sitting on any of the boards of HTOG, CFUL or UPDA. I have not seen court proof of a UPDA scam, conviction of fraud or fines and no SEC actions against them. I do see the PPS going up with avg volume returning. There % increases from there posts look pretty good and some of there debt is going back to the sub's and off there shoulders. Frankly and my opinion only is there getting prepared for another acquisition. Don't forget Mr. Brink of CFUL is a player in a Florida gas chain. UPDA stated they were considering a retail gas chain on the west coast. Maybe alternitive fuel, that has also been stated in posts. Who knows but gut feeling is the cards are getting set up for another expansion play. My position is HOLD.

Conversation with UPDA (Q2)
Talking with UPDA today, they don't believe the Q2 report will be a great one, as all the positive things about spinning off CFUL and acquiring Heartland (new wells coming on line, etc.) happened April 1st, and this report covers until Mar. 31.
He said we should see a better report in Q3, in November.
He said there is no reason for the stock to be down as low as it is. The company is doing well for a company 2 years in business, but they believe it’s is all the day traders attacking the stock.
Restricted stock is tradable July 31th 2008
End.
What a great stock to be long in!!!!! It’s incredibly hard for companies to come this close to being profitable in two years.
Cful Shares
Restricted or xxx amount valued at .00 (this just means restricted). In talking with UPDA they have informed me that the shares will be tradable July 11th 2008.

Return on Assets (%)
UNIVERSAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & ACQ COR
(OVER THE COUNTER)
A company’s ability to operate profitably can be
measured directly by measuring its return on
assets. ROA (Return On Assets) is the ratio of a
company’s net profit to its total assets, expressed as
a percentage.
Return on Assets (%) (125.50) (%)
Income After Taxes x 100 (5.88) x 100
Average Total Assets 4.68
Return on Assets in 2004 was -1130 its now -125.50 (you do the math JP)
ROA measures how well a company’s management
uses its assets to generate profits. It is a better
measure of operating efficiency than ROE, which
only measures how much profit is generated on
the shareholders equity but ignores debt funding.
This ratio is particularly relevant for banks which
typically have huge assets.
What caused the sell off? I see the news about the 1/50 distribution (this is good).
BoonMarket.com to closely follow UPDA once again
SANTA BARBARA, CA., Jul 06, 2007 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
BoonMarket.com announced today their renewed interest in Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB: UPDA). UPDA has been mentioned on BoonMarket.com in the past and recent developments within the company have compelled BoonMarket.com to closely follow the company once again.
----------------------------------------------------
UPDA news from 7/02/07:
Heartland Oil and Gas Corporation Completes Management Transformation - Receives Resignation of CEO and Appoints Interim President - Signals New Era of Asset Development
In a meeting held on June 25, 2007, a majority of the Board of Directors of Heartland Oil and Gas Corp voted to install Steven A. Fall as its Interim President. This appointment signals the beginning of a new era for Heartland in which it will aggressively pursue the development of its vast oil and gas assets in Eastern Kansas.
In conjunction with this appointment, the Board has received the resignation of Phil Winner as CEO and a member of the Heartland Board, marking the departure of the last vestige of Heartland's former management. Mr. Winner's resignation will not become effective until July 27, 2007 and he will be working with Heartland's new management team during that period to ease the company through this transition period.
Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation (FWB:UP1) (BCN:UP1) (GER:UP1) (MUN:UP1) (STU:UP1) recently acquired a majority stock interest in Heartland.
"With the new drilling program already undertaken in conjunction with UPDA's Aztec Well Services subsidiary, Heartland is well positioned to begin this new era," reports Mr. Fall. "I am very familiar with the management and approach of UPDA and I understand that it is my mission to move these projects forward without complacency. We intend to establish a new attitude of growth and success in Heartland beginning immediately."
We can only pray!

I (buell) have also just reviewed the Routers investment evaluation recently done to confirm UPDA’s real financial records/status.
Stock dilution is the only thing holding this company down to date.
Low and behold I read this morning UPDA has consolidated Hartland shares 1:10 (in today’s news).
(Jim and others like him have no idea, I think a ban would be in order)
