KFG Resources LTD. Q2 Results (Ending October 31, 2015)
Before reading, as a shareholder you should understand the following:
- All numbers are in US Dollars and therefore the balance sheet and assets do not reflect the true value that KFG is actually worth per share. Being a TSXV listed company, you must convert the numbers to Canadian dollars in order to get a true value
- The company is in such a strong financial position that it will be able to weather this down turn in oil prices better than most junior o&g companies in the lower end market cap range.
- Barnum 4, Drouet and Stockfelt production & revenue, were not added to this quarter, only the costs.

It’s good to see that KFG has more than enough cash to cover all liabilities and continue drilling with the excess capital. Revenue was down again this quarter because of oil prices and costs increased substantially due to the fact that several productive wells were charged in the quarter, but cash flow will not be added until Q3. Leasing operations and office expenses increased by over $200,000 which caused the loss in the quarter, otherwise KFG would have been flat for earnings.
Oil and gas revenue: $295,631 (production high but average barrel revenue was lower)
Management fee’s: $185,494(This increased by almost $100,000 which is a great secondary revenue)
Total Revenue: $481,125
Total Expenses: $688,262
MD&A Highlights
During the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, oil and gas was the Company’s main source of revenue, and to a lesser extent management fees. At present rates of production and oil prices, management believes the Company has sufficient cash reserves to finance its activities for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The Company drilled and completed two wells in early 2015, which were not on production until late May and June 2015. Those wells, together with two new wells completed in late September 2015, should add to cash flow and lower overall production cost. The Company is participating in the drilling of new shallow wells in north central Texas, marking KFG’s entry into Texas. The Company has a 14% working interest in this venture. The first well drilled was completed as a dry hole. A second well will be drilled in the first quarter of 2016, as a 2,000’ Dyson Sand test in Archer County, Texas. Depending on the results of this well, the Company may elect to participate in the drilling of additional wells in this venture
The quarter ended October 31, 2014 was the last quarter of prices above $100/bbl and reflected the new production. During the quarter ended January 31, 2015, through to the quarter ended April 30, 2015, further price declines and increased depreciation and amortization occurred as a result of a lower reserve bases. Two wells were drilled in February 2015 but were not put on production until late May 2015. The quarter ended July 31, 2015, saw some stabilization of costs. The current quarter has seen two new wells drilled. The quarter ended October 31, 2015 saw two new wells drilled and one dry hole. New production was after the quarter ended. The Barnum #4 and the Drouet Poole Estate wells are adding to production at present but a price of less than $40/bbl is hurting cashflow.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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.
KFG had cash at October 31, 2015 of $1,818,812. Although oil prices have collapsed, the Company, through the six months ended October 31, 2015, continues to generate positive cash flow. Two recent wells should help continue the trend. The Company will continue to manage its cash resources and will complete its current drilling program. In addition, the Company is increasing its inventory of projects seeking longer term leases. The Drouet Poole Estate #1 well and the Barnum #4 well are adding to production but is somewhat offset by crude oil prices at $35/bbl.
Share Capital
The total number of shares outstanding as at October 31, 2015 and December 28, 2015, is 50,584,144. As of October 31, 2015 and December 28, 2015, there were no stock options or warrants outstanding.
Outlook
The Company’s cash position going forward will be able to finance all projects internally for the remainder of its fiscal year ending April 30, 2016. The Company drilled and completed two wells in early 2015, which were not on production until late May and June 2015. Those wells, together with two new wells completed in late September 2015, should add to cash flow and lower overall production cost. The Company is participating in the drilling of new shallow wells in north central Texas, marking KFG’s entry into Texas. The Company has a 14% working interest in this venture.
