POWDER RIVER BASIN GAS CORP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006


NOTE 3 -

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES


The full cost method is used in accounting for oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized.  In addition, depreciation on property and equipment used in oil and gas exploration and interest costs incurred with respect to financing oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized in accordance with full cost accounting.  Capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.  All capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties subject to amortization are being amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves.  Investments in unproved properties and major development projects not subject to amortization are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.  If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.  As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, proved oil and gas reserves had been identified on certain of the Company’s oil and gas properties.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded depletion of $44,953 and $10,533 on its producing properties.  All other wells are incomplete as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.


NOTE 4 -

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS


During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company issued the following shares of common stock:


-

2,100,000 shares through the exercise of common stock warrants at prices ranging from $0.06 to $0.20 per share, for total proceeds of $230,000.


In May 2006, the Company purchased a 95% working interest in a separate property in Texas for a total of $500,000.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold 7.5% of their working interest in this property to an unrelated party for a total of $6,000,000, less a commission of $1,200,000.  The carrying value of the 7.5% interest at the date of the sale was $68,625.  The receivable balance on this transaction at March 31, 2007 was $4,731,375.


Since the Company is in the business of buying and selling working interest in producing oil and gas properties, the sale of working interests is being recorded as revenue in the accompanying statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.


Employment Agreement


On May 10, 2007 the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective January 1, 2007.  Per the terms of the agreement the Company is to pay the CEO a salary of $600,000 per year, payable semi-monthly.  In addition, the Company will also pay a cash bonus of 10% of the Company’s net income before taxes to the Company that exceeds $750,000 per quarter.  For the period ended March 31, 2007 the amount of accrued bonus related to this agreement was $297,376.


During January 2006, the Company issued a total of 1,900,000 shares of common stock at $0.21 per share to various consultants for services rendered totaling $399,000.  The shares were valued based upon the market price of the shares on the date of issuance.


During 2006, the Company issued 1,100,000 shares of common stock through the exercise of common stock warrants at $0.10 and $0.16 per share for total cash proceeds of $116,000.  


During February 2006, the Company issued a total of 500,000 shares of common stock for work performed on one of the Company’s oil and gas properties.  The issuance was valued at $0.35 per share, the market value of the shares on the date of the agreement.  An additional 500,000 shares were issued during August 2006, pursuant to a purchase agreement for an additional 20% working interest in a property (see Note 7).  These shares were valued at $0.50 per share, the market value of the shares on the date of the agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements


This report may contain "forward-looking" statements.  Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (a) projections of revenues, capital expenditures, growth, prospects, dividends, capital structure and other financial matters; (b) statements of plans and objectives of our management or Board of Directors; (c) statements of our future economic performance; (d) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about us and our business relating to the future; and (e) any statements using the words "anticipate," "expect," "may," "project," "intend" or similar expressions.


General.  The Company is in the business of acquiring and developing the working interest in leases of oil and gas leases with the intent of reselling a portion of the working interests acquired.  The Company reviews and evaluates the geological and other technical data applicable lease in order to determine the likely viability and possible profitability of commencing and completing multiple well drilling programs on the properties covered by the leases.  If determined to be viable, the Company also engages third party contractors to explore for, drill, re-work and further develop the properties in order to maximize economically justified oil and gas production from those leases in a cost effective manner.


During 2006, the Company acquired a 95% working interest in the Brookshire Salt Dome project in Waller County, Texas, containing approximately 647 acres.  Two wells are currently in production.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold 7.5% of their working interest in this property to an unrelated party for a total of $6,000,000, less a commission of $1,200,000.  The carrying value of the 7.5% interest at the date of the sale was $68,625.  The receivable balance on this transaction at March 31, 2007 was $4,731,375. Since the Company is in the business of buying and selling working interest in producing oil and gas properties, the sale of working interests is being recorded as revenue in the accompanying statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

On May 10, 2007 the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective January 1, 2007.  Per the terms of the agreement the Company is to pay the CEO a salary of $600,000 per year, payable semi-monthly.  In addition, the Company will also pay a cash bonus of 10% of the Company’s net income before taxes to the Company that exceeds $750,000 per quarter.  For the period ended March 31, 2007 the amount of accrued bonus related to this agreement was $297,376.


Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 compared with 2006


Revenues:  Total revenues increased to $5,693,034 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $4,859,280 in the prior year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company had revenues from oil and gas sales of $952,191, an increase of $712,911 or approximately 298% compared to $239,280 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company also had revenues from property and working interest sales of $4,740,843, an increase of $120,843 or approximately 2.6% compared to $4,620,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  The Company anticipates that oil and gas sales in the balance fiscal 2007 will increase but expects that sales of property and working interests will continue to produce the majority of the Company’s revenues.


Expenses:  Total expenses increased significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2,293,944 from $374,183 in the prior year period.  The increase is attributable primarily to large increases in general and administrative expenses, lease operating costs, bonuses, marketing administration and legal and professional fees.  

Some of these increases are in expenses directly associated with the increase in business activities over the prior year period.  In addition, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer, as described above, that includes the payment of a salary and bonus based on the Company’s net income before taxes.  The Company has also incurred additional expenses for marketing its property and working interests.


Net Income:  Due to the significant increases in expenses outlined above, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased to $2,251,598 from $2,959,235 in the prior year period.  Management believes that the increased expenses are necessary to support operations staff and services such that the Company can continue to achieve sales of oil and gas properties and working interests, as well as to continue to acquire, develop and operate additional oil and gas properties. Management plans to continue to aggressively pursue its strategic objectives in the balance of fiscal 2007.




Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company’s need for new capital is directly related to the acquisition of new oil and gas properties and to associated drilling and operating expenses.  The Company expects to be able to finance new and existing drilling activities primarily out of cash flow.  The Company expects to identify and acquire oil and gas properties for future development where the cost of acquiring a working interest in identified reserves that can be exploited for cost-efficient future production and can be financed by selling a portion of the working interest to be acquired.


Cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31, 2007 was $2,326,037 as compared to $2,733,437 at December 31, 2006.  At March 31, 2007, accounts receivable from related parties totaled a net of $589,581.  The related party is a Company that is owned by the Company’s President.  Accounts receivable totaled $5,632,368, consisting of amounts received  primarily from the sale of 7.5% of the Companies working interest in a property in Texas to an unrelated party for a total of $6,000,000, less a commission of $1,200,000.


Property and equipment of the Company at December 31, 2006 was a net of $62,199.  Property and equipment consists primarily of vehicles and computer equipment associated with operations.


At March 31, 2007, net oil and gas properties totaled $19,396,835 compared to $16,614,718 at December 31, 2006. The increase in oil and gas properties occurred due to management’s acquisition of additional oil and gas properties during the three months ended March 31, 2007.


At March 31, 2007, total assets were $29,271,082 compared to $24,895,055 at December 31, 2006, due to the acquisition of additional oil and gas properties.  Total liabilities increased to $13,104,216 at March 31, 2007 from $11,209,788 at December 31, 2006 due primarily to increases in income taxes payable, accrued expenses, accounts payable and stock deposits, offset by a decrease in notes payable.


For the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash flows from operations totaled $2,712,791 compared to $460,845 for the prior year period.  Cash for operations was generated primarily from sales of properties and working interests, proceeds from stock deposits and proceeds from the sale of common stock.  


For the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash used in investing activities totaled $2,869,969, primarily for expenditures for the development of oil and gas properties. In the prior year, cash used in investing activities totaled $741,418, for expenditures for the development of properties.  


For the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash used in financing activities was $250.222, including payments on notes payable and long-term liabilities offset by proceeds from stock deposits and proceeds from the issuance of common stock for the exercise of outstanding warrants.  In the prior year, proceeds from financing activities was $62,000, including proceeds from the issuance of common stock offset by payments on notes payable and long-term liabilities.


Plans for continuing operations.   Management believes its business and marketing strategy is proving to be a successful strategy for operations.  The Company plans to continue to identify, evaluate, acquire working interests in oil and gas leases; sell a portion of the working interests so acquired; and to explore for, develop and market production from those operations.  The Company expects to continue to be able to finance acquisitions through the sale of working interests.  Management believes that revenues from operations of developed properties will increase in the balance of fiscal 2007.  


Impact of Inflation


At this time, we do not anticipate that inflation will have a material impact on our current or future operations.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Except with regard to the estimated future cash flows of the capitalized oil and gas properties, the Company does not employ any critical accounting policies or estimates that are either selected from among available alternatives or require the exercise of significant management judgment to apply or that if changed are likely to materially affect future periods.  Management reviews the carrying value of the capitalized oil and gas properties annually for evidence of impairment and considers, based on its current marketing activities, plans and expectations, and the perceived effects of competitive factors, whether any write-downs should be taken or whether the estimated reserves should be changed.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements




In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125. SFAS 155 will be effective for all financial instruments issued or acquired after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management has no present expectation of issuing or acquiring any financial insuments likely to be affected by SFAS 155 in the foreseeable future.


In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109.  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return.  We must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management is currently evaluating the likely impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not believe that the application of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
