ITEM 1.     CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

 

On May 26, 2004, Cano Petroleum, Inc. (formerly Huron Ventures, Inc.) (the “Registrant”, “we” or “us”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Davenport Acquisition Corp., an Oklahoma corporation wholly-owned by the Registrant (“Subsidiary”), Davenport Field Unit Inc., a Texas corporation (“Davenport”), the shareholders of Davenport (the “Davenport Shareholders”), Cano Energy Corporation, a Texas corporation (“Cano”), and Big Sky Management Ltd., the Registrant’s principal stockholder (the “Merger Agreement”).

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we acquired 100 percent of Davenport’s stock in exchange for the issuance by us of 5,165,000 shares of our common stock (the “Acquisition Shares”) to the Davenport Shareholders (approximately 33% percent of our outstanding shares) and we agreed to place the sum of $1,650,000 into escrow to disbursed approximately as follows: (1) $428,000 to Cano on account of costs associated with the Davenport Property; (2) $355,000 in connection with a note that we assumed held by Bluebonnet Resources Corporation; and (3) $867,000 to field improvements and drilling on the Davenport Property.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement we agreed to pay $150,000 cash as directed by the Davenport Shareholders.  This $150,000 is included in the sum of $1,650,000 that we placed in escrow. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement we agreed to change our name to Cano Petroleum, Inc. The Merger Agreement was closed effective May 28, 2004 and the name change was effected on June 3, 2004.

 

Davenport’s President, Mr. S. Jeff Johnson was appointed our Chief Executive Officer and President, Michael Ricketts, CPA, was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and Thomas Cochrane was appointed Executive Vice-President (Oil & Gas Operations).

 

About Davenport

 

Cano incorporated Davenport under the laws of the State of Texas on May 20, 2002 as a corporation for the sole purpose of holding certain oil, gas and mineral leasehold estates and personal property related thereto located in Lincoln County, Oklahoma covering approximately 2,178 acres (the “Davenport Property”).

 

Cano is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties in the United States controlled by Mr. Johnson. The Davenport Shareholders acquired Davenport from Cano for the purpose of entering into the Merger Agreement with us.

Davenport Property - History

 

The Davenport Property is a mature oil field that has previously undergone waterflood operations.

 

The field containing the Davenport Property was discovered in 1924. Waterflood operations were commenced in 1950. The initial well and subsequent three-year development, consisting of approximately 180 wells on 10-acre spacing, was the work of Magnolia Petroleum, one of the predecessors to ExxonMobil Corp.

 

Over the next twenty-five years, these 180 wells produced approximately 12,000,000 barrels of oil. The individual leases were then “unitized”, to form the Davenport Property, in March of 1950, for the purpose of implementing a secondary recovery project (waterflood). In order to waterflood the Davenport Property, “liners” (extensions to the production casing), were cemented in place to effectively inject water into the oil producing zone.

 

The waterflood operation accounted for an additional 10,000,000 barrels of oil production (bringing the total production of the field to 22,000,000 barrels of oil). The flood operated with no significant improvements being made after 1963. Uneconomic wells were plugged and abandoned, leaving only 62 wellbores today.

 

The Davenport Property was sold to Maurice Brown Co. in 1979. Maurice Brown Co. made a significant “find” in 1980, when it drilled three new wells inside the Property - wells #184, #185, and #186. Two of these wells, #184 and #185, found commercial oil production by drilling between the old producing wells; this is a practice called “down-spacing” or “infill drilling”, in this case from one well on each ten acres to one well on each five acres.

 

Davenport Property - Geology

 

The Davenport Property produces from the Prue Sandstone at approximately 3,450 feet, drilling depth. The Prue is of the Cherokee Group, Pennsylvanian age (285 to 325 million years old). Sand thickness in the reservoir averages 39 feet thick, with a maximum of over 60 feet thick, “pinching out” to less than 10 feet thick on the edges of the field. The sandstone oil reservoir is divided into three or more sand “lenses”, separated by shales or “tight” sandstone. The better-developed, more continuous sand lenses exhibit high porosity (20+ percent), and good permeability (50 to 200 millidarcies). These “better developed lenses” were probably most conducive to the early waterflood; less porous and permeable sandstone lenses were probably not “swept” or minimally “swept” by the flood. Many sand lenses were not even penetrated by

most of the well bores because of antiquated drilling practices. The oil gravity is 48 degrees, which also is conducive to an excellent waterflood.

 

The Davenport Property, as a whole, is a “dome like” feature, surrounded by impermeable shales. Trapped oil cannot escape or “migrate” because of the “stratigraphic” type trap, and trapped oil can be more particularly located by the combined “structural” (dome like) nature of the trap. Remaining oil reserves in the Prue sandstone should be found on the top of the “dome” in multiple sandstone layers.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Our immediate plan of operation is to increase production from our Davenport Property by investing in field improvements and drilling new wells. Our long-term strategy is to concentrate on the acquisition of mature fields with established reserves that have declined to marginal production levels, but possess significant remaining upside exploitation potential. We plan to realize such potential through the implementation of various secondary and tertiary enhanced oil recovery operations, including water and chemical floods, infill drilling, reentries and recompletions of existing wells.

 

Sales and Revenue Distribution

 

The sole assets of Davenport consist of a 100% working interest and a 55% net revenue interest in the Davenport Property.     

 

Davenport sells the production from its wells to one independent third party purchaser. We are paid at the prevailing posted price for Oklahoma sweet crude oil less certain marketing fees. We periodically review the price paid by our purchaser by comparing to other purchasers in the same area to ensure we are receiving a fair price for the crude oil production. Due to the number of possible purchasers, management does not believe that the loss of this purchaser would pose a significant risk to the continuity of Davenport’s operations. Davenport does not maintain significant inventories.

 

The following is a summary of Davenport’s operating results for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

Competition

 

We compete with a number of other companies, including other independent operators which are more experienced and which have greater financial resources than us. We do not hold a significant competitive position in the oil and gas industry.

 

Compliance with Governmental Regulations

 

In the United States, legislation affecting the oil and gas industry has been pervasive and is under constant review for amendment or expansion. Pursuant to such legislation, numerous federal, state and local departments and agencies have issued extensive rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. Such laws and regulations have a significant impact on oil and gas drilling, gas processing plants and production activities, increase the cost of doing business and, consequently, affect profitability. Inasmuch as legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is commonplace and existing laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, the Registrant is unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws and regulations.

 

The Registrant considers the cost of environmental protection a necessary and manageable part of its business. Management believes the Registrant will be able to plan for and comply with new environmental initiatives without materially altering the Registrant’s operating strategies.

 

Employees

 

As of May 28, 2004 Davenport did not have any employees. In connection with the Merger Agreement we have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Johnson, Ricketts and Cochrane (see below) and have hired 4 additional full-time employees (all of whom who were formerly employees of Cano).

To the Members
Davenport Field Unit LLC
Fort Worth, Texas

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Davenport Field Unit LLC as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations and member’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Davenport Field Unit LLC as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DAVENPORT FIELD UNIT LLC

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.             ORGANIZATION

 

Davenport Field Unit LLC (“Davenport”) is a privately held, single member limited liability corporation organized in Texas. Davenport’s only member and managing member is Cano Energy Corporation (“Cano”). Davenport is engaged in the acquisition, development, operation, and exploration of oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma. Davenport is currently contemplating a merger with Huron Ventures, Inc. If the merger is successful, the surviving entity is expected to become a publicly traded company.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Davenport. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil & gas reserves, which may affect the amount at which oil & gas properties are recorded. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

 

Oil and Gas Properties and Equipment

 

We follow the successful efforts method of accounting, capitalizing costs of successful exploratory wells and expensing costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells. Exploratory geological and geophysical costs are expensed as incurred. All developmental costs are capitalized. We generally pursue acquisition and development of proved reserves as opposed to exploration activities. A significant portion of the property costs reflected in the accompanying balance sheets are from the acquisition of producing properties from another oil and gas company. Davenport had capitalized costs for its oil and gas properties of $752,472 at March 31, 2004 and $672,000 at March 31, 2003.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization of producing properties is computed on the units-of-production method based on estimated proved oil and gas reserves. Repairs and maintenance are expensed, while renewals and betterments are generally capitalized.

 

If conditions indicate that long-term assets may be impaired, the carrying value of property is compared to management’s future estimated pre-tax cash flow from the properties. If impairment is necessary, the asset carrying value is written down to fair value. Cash flow pricing estimates are based on existing proved reserve and production information and pricing assumptions that management believes are reasonable. Impairment of individually significant undeveloped properties is assessed on a property-by-property basis, and impairment of other undeveloped properties is assessed and amortized on an aggregate basis.

 

Asset Retirement Obligation

 

Effective April 1, 2003, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 provides that, if the fair value for asset retirement obligation can be reasonably estimated, the liability should be recognized in the period when it is incurred. Oil and gas producing companies incur this liability upon acquiring or drilling a well. Under the method prescribed by SFAS No. 143, the retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value at the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties on the balance sheet. Periodic accretion of discount of the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the income statement.

 

5



 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Oil revenues are recognized when Davenport’s share of oil production is sold. The oil production is purchased by a single, independent crude oil purchaser. We believe that alternative purchasers are available, if necessary, to purchase production at prices substantially similar to those received from our current purchaser.

 

Income Taxes

 

Davenport is a limited liability company for tax purposes, and thus does not incur income taxes. Instead, its earnings and losses are included in the separate tax return of its member. These financial statements, therefore, do not reflect a provision for income taxes.

 

Liquidity

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, Davenport has incurred a net loss in the last two years and has negative working capital. Cano has historically provided working capital to fund operations through contributions, and intends to continue to do so as necessary.

 

2.             RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Vaca Operating Company (“Vaca”) is an affiliated company of Davenport, which is responsible for the operations of the Davenport producing properties. As of March 31, 2004 and 2003, Vaca was owed $67,051 and $1,890, respectively, resulting from production operations.

 

As of March 31, 2004, current amounts due from Cano totaled $4,000. All equity contributions to date were made by Cano. Additionally, $150,000 of Cano’s contributions to Davenport were funded with investor notes payable by Cano to such investors. As part of those notes, these investors were granted a 1/8 th override royalty interest in Davenport’s producing properties, and the notes require that Cano repay them in full in the event that the Davenport properties are sold to an unrelated entity. Davenport’s properties are not specifically designated as collateral for these notes, and based on the terms, repayment of these notes is the sole responsibility of Cano.

 

3.             NOTES PAYABLE

 

In May 2002, Davenport purchased its oil and gas properties from Bluebonnet Resources in exchange for a $650,000 note payable. Interest is due monthly at a rate of 10% , with all principal and unpaid interest due at maturity in May 2004. All payments to date have been made by Cano on Davenport’s behalf. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, the unpaid balance was $377,269 and $590,000, respectively.

 

4.             ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

 

Effective October 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. Our asset retirement obligation primarily represents the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance

 

6



 

with applicable state laws. We determine our asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. As of the April 1, 2003, adoption date of SFAS 143, we recorded a long-term liability for asset retirement obligation of $74,376, an increase in property cost of $67,447, an increase to accumulated depletion of $626 and a cumulative effect of accounting change of $7,555.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the asset retirement obligation for the period ended March 31, 2004:

 

Asset retirement obligation, April 1, 2003

 

$

74,376

 

Liabilities incurred during the period

 

 

Liabilities settled during the period

 

 

Accretion of discount

 

7,821

 

Asset retirement obligation, March 31, 2004

 

$

82,197

 

 

Because we acquired the oil and gas properties related to the asset retirement obligations in April 2002, there would have been no asset retirement obligation at April 1, 2002, if we had adopted SFAS No. 143 as of that date. The estimated pro forma effect of adoption on 2004 and 2003 net income and earnings per share is not material.

 

5.             COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

Occasionally, we are involved in various lawsuits and certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management and legal counsel do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters, will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations, although an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the operations of a given interim period or year.

 

Other

 

To date, our expenditures to comply with environmental or safety regulations have not been significant and are not expected to be significant in the future. However, new regulations, enforcement policies, claims for damages or other events could result in significant future costs.

 

6.             S UPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

 

All of our operations are directly related to oil and gas producing activities located in the Oklahoma.

 

Proved Reserves

 

Our proved oil and gas reserves have been estimated by independent petroleum engineers. Proved reserves are the estimated quantities that geologic and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the timing of production of these reserves may be substantially different from the original estimate. Revisions result primarily from new information obtained from development

drilling and production history and from changes in economic factors. The reserve information is as follows:

)

 

 

71,300

 

 

Standardized Measure

 

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (“standardized measure”) and changes in such cash flows are prepared using assumptions required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Such assumptions include the use of year-end prices for oil and gas and year-end costs for estimated future development and production expenditures to produce year-end estimated proved reserves. Year-end prices are not adjusted for the effect of hedge derivatives. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using a 10% rate.

 

As of March 31, 2004, estimated well abandonment costs, net of salvage, are deducted from the standardized measure using year-end costs. Such abandonment costs are recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet, using estimated values of the projected abandonment date and discounted using a risk-adjusted rate at the time the well is drilled or acquired.

 

The standardized measure does not represent management’s estimate of our future cash flows or the value of proved oil and gas reserves. Probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. Furthermore, year-end prices used to determine the standardized measure of discounted cash flows, are influenced by seasonal demand and other factors and may not be the most representative in estimating future revenues or reserve data.

 

Price and cost revisions are primarily the net result of changes in year-end prices, based on beginning of year reserve estimates. Quantity estimate revisions are primarily the result of the extended economic life of proved reserves and proved undeveloped reserve additions attributable to increased development activity.

 

The average realized oil prices for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $30.23 and $26.07, respectively. The standardized measure of discounted estimated future net cash flows related to proved oil reserves at March 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

Pro Forma Supplementary Financial Information for Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited)

 

The following tables present certain unaudited pro forma information concerning Cano’s proved oil reserves at March 31, 2004,

giving effect to the merger with Davenport as if it had occurred on April 1, 2003. There are numerous uncertainties inherent

in estimating the quantities of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures.

The following reserve data represent estimates only and should not be construed as being exact.  The proved oil reserve

information is as of March 31, 2004 and reflects prices and costs as of that date.
