Solicitation of Proxies

     THIS PROXY STATEMENT IS FURNISHED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY THE MANAGEMENT OF CASTLEGUARD ENERGY, INC. (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the "Meeting") to be held on June 23, 2003, at 10:00 a.m. at 17768 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas 75252, for the purposes as set out in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. As a shareholder, you are cordially invited to be present at the Meeting.

     The costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the form of proxy, Notice of Annual Meeting and this Proxy Statement will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, telephone or other means of communication and by directors and officers of the Company, who will not be specifically remunerated therefor. While no arrangements have been made to date by the Company, the Company may contract for the distribution and solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. The costs incurred by the Company in soliciting proxies will be paid by the Company.

 

     No person is authorized to give any information or make any representations other than those contained in this Proxy Statement and if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized to be given or made. Except where otherwise stated, the information contained herein is given as of  April 25, 2003.

 

Appointment of Proxy

     The form of proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

 

1

 

     The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. Each shareholder has the right to appoint a proxyholder other than such directors and/or officers, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and to act for the shareholder at the Meeting. To exercise such right, the names of the nominees of management should be crossed out and the name of the shareholder's appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy or another form of proxy should be completed. Such shareholder should notify the nominee of his appointment, obtain his consent to act as proxy and instruct him on how the shareholder's shares are to be voted.

 

Revocability of Proxy

     A shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a person who has given a proxy attends personally at the Meeting at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited either at the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of such deposits, the proxy is revoked.

 

Exercise of Discretion by Proxy

     The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy have indicated their willingness to represent, as proxyholders, the shareholders who appoint them. Each shareholder may instruct his or her proxyholders as to how to vote the Common Shares represented by the proxy by completing the blanks in the form of proxy.

     Common Shares represented by properly executed proxies in favor of the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any poll in accordance with instructions given on the form of proxy. If a shareholder specifies a choice as to any matters to be acted upon, such shareholder's Common Shares shall be voted accordingly.

 

     In the absence of such specification, the shares will be voted in favor of the matters to be acted upon. The persons appointed under the Proxy furnished by the Company are conferred with discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations of those matters specified in the Notice of Annual Meeting and with respect to other matters, which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management of the Company knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter.

 

Voting of Common Shares

     The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the record date of the Meeting at the close of business on April 25, 2003. A person shown as a shareholder of record on the Record Date shall be entitled to vote the Common Shares registered in holder's name on that date, except to the extent that (a) the holder has transferred the ownership of any of his Common Shares after that date, and (b) the transferee of those Common Shares produces a properly endorsed share certificate or otherwise establishes that the transferee owns the Common Shares, and demands not later than 10 days before the Meeting that the transferee's name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee shall be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 17,364,626 Common Shares of the Company outstanding, after deducting shares held in the treasury, each carrying the right to one vote.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

             The Company does not have any employment agreements with any of its officers.

 

Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

               Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company's common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. We have reviewed the reports from officers and directors. Based on this review, the Company believes that all filing requirements during 2002 were met.

 

ITEM 2. APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

               The shareholders will be asked to vote for the appointment of Whitley Penn, P.C. as auditors of the Company until the close of the next annual general meeting, at such remuneration as may be approved by the board of directors of the Company. Whitley Penn, P.C. has been the auditor of the Company since 2002, when it combined with the audit practice of Jackson & Rhodes, P.C. which had served as auditor for the Company since April 2000. The persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy, unless instructed otherwise, intend to vote for the appointment of Whitley Penn, P.C., as auditor of the Company. A representative of Whitley Penn, P.C. will be available at the meeting to answer any appropriate questions.

 

               Audit Fees: For professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements (included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2002) and the review of the Company's financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for 2002, Whitley Penn, P.C. has billed the Company a total of $16,800 in fees.

 

               Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees: Whitley Penn, P.C. has not performed (and has not billed the Company for) any financial information systems design and implementation fees for 2002.

 

               All Other Fees: Jackson & Rhodes, P.C. prepared the Company's corporate tax return for the year 2001 for which it billed fees of $2,448.

 

               After reviewing the Company's business relationship with Whitley Penn, P.C., the Board of Directors has affirmed its belief that the business relationship meets the requisite standards of auditor independence.

 

ITEM 3. OTHER MATTERS

 

              Management is not aware of any matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of the Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, the accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority to vote with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters that properly may come before the Meeting.
