Forward Looking Statements
The words "believes," "intends," "expects," "anticipates," "projects," "estimates," "predicts" and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. All forward looking statements contained in this section are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable. These forward looking statements include statements regarding:
We can give no assurance that our expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct. Reserve estimates of oil and gas properties are generally different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered or found. This is particularly true for estimates applied to exploratory prospects and new production. Additionally, any forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Such things may cause actual results, performance, achievements or expectations to differ materially from what we anticipated.

PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Glossary of Terms
We are engaged in the business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas. Oil and gas exploration is a specialized industry. Many of the terms used to describe our business are unique to the oil and gas industry. The following glossary clarifies certain of these terms that may be encountered while reading this report:
"Acquisition costs of properties" means the costs incurred to obtain rights to production of oil and gas. These costs include the costs of acquiring oil and gas leases and other interests. These costs include lease costs, finder's fees, brokerage fees, title costs, legal costs, recording costs, options to purchase or lease interests and any other costs associated with the acquisitions of an interest in current or possible production.
"Area of mutual interest" means, generally, an agreed upon area of land, varying in size, included and described in an oil and gas exploration agreement which participants agree will be subject to rights of first refusal as among themselves, such that any participant acquiring any minerals, royalty, overriding royalty, oil and gas leasehold estates or similar interests in the designated area, is obligated to offer the other participants the opportunity to purchase their agreed upon percentage share of the interest so acquired on the same basis and cost as purchased by the acquiring participant. If the other participants, after a specific time period, elect not to acquire their pro-rata share, the acquiring participant is typically then free to retain or sell such interests.
"Back-in interests" also referred to as a carried interest, involve the transfer of interest in a property with provision to the transferor to receive a reversionary interest in the property after the occurrence of certain events.
"Bbl" means barrel, 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in this annual report in reference to crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
"Bcf" means billion cubic feet, used in this annual report in reference to gaseous hydrocarbons.
"BcfE" means billions of cubic feet of gas equivalent, determined using the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil, condensate or gas liquids.
"Casing point" means the point in time at which an election is made by participants in a well whether to proceed with an attempt to complete the well as a producer or to plug and abandon the well as a non-commercial dry hole. The election is generally made after a well has been drilled to its objective depth and an evaluation has been made from drill cutting samples, well logs, cores, drill stem tests and other methods. If an affirmative election is made to complete the well for production, production casing is then generally cemented in the hole and completion operations are then commenced.
3 |
"Development costs" are costs incurred to drill, equip, or obtain access to proved reserves. They include costs of drilling and equipment necessary to get products to the point of sale and may entail on-site processing.
"Exploration costs" are costs incurred, either before or after the acquisition of a property, to identify areas that may have potential reserves, to examine specific areas considered to have potential reserves, to drill test wells, and drill exploratory wells. Exploratory wells are wells drilled in unproven areas. The identification of properties and examination of specific areas will typically include geological and geophysical costs, also referred to as G&G, which include topological studies, geographical and geophysical studies, and costs to obtain access to properties under study. Depreciation of support equipment, and the costs of carrying unproved acreage, delay rentals, ad valorem property taxes, title defense costs, and lease or land record maintenance are also classified as exploratory costs. "Farmout" involves an entity's assignment of all or a part of its interest in or lease of a property in exchange for consideration such as a royalty.
"Future net revenue, before income taxes" means an estimate of future net revenue from a property, based on the production of the proven reserves of oil and natural gas believed to be recoverable at a specified date, after deducting production and ad valorem taxes, future capital costs and operating expenses, before deducting income taxes. Future net revenue, before income taxes, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the property.
"Future net revenue, net of income taxes" means an estimate of future net revenue from a property, based on the proven reserves of oil and natural gas believed to be recoverable at a specified date, after deducting production and ad valorem taxes, future capital costs and operating expenses, net of income taxes. Future net revenues, net of income taxes, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the property.
"Gross" oil or gas well or "gross" acre is a well or acre in which we have a working interest.
"Mcf" means thousand cubic feet, used in this annual report to refer to gaseous hydrocarbons.
"McfE" means thousands of cubic feet of gas equivalent, determined using the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil, condensate or gas liquids.
"MMcf" means million cubic feet, used in this annual report to refer to gaseous hydrocarbons.
"MBbl" means thousand barrels, used in this annual report to refer to crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons."
"Net" oil and gas wells or "net" acres are determined by multiplying "gross" wells or acres by our percentage interest in such wells or acres.
4 |
"Oil and gas lease" or "Lease" means an agreement between a mineral owner, the lessor, and a lessee which conveys the right to the lessee to explore for and produce oil and gas from the leased lands. Oil and gas leases usually have a primary term during which the lessee must establish production of oil and or gas. If production is established within the primary term, the term of the lease generally continues in effect so long as production occurs on the lease. Leases generally provide for a royalty to be paid to the lessor from the gross proceeds from the sale of production.
"Overpressured reservoir" are reservoirs subject to abnormally high pressure as a result of certain types of subsurface conditions.
"Present value of future net revenue, before income taxes" means future net revenue, before income taxes, discounted at an annual rate of 10% to determine their "present value." The present value is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of the revenue stream and should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties.
"Present value of future net revenue, net of income taxes" means future net revenue, net of income taxes discounted at an annual rate of 10% to determine their "present value." The present value is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of the revenue stream and should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties. Also known as the "Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows" if SEC pricing assumptions are used.
"Production costs" means operating expenses and severance and ad valorem taxes on oil and gas production.
"Prospect" means a location where both geological and economical conditions favor drilling a well.
"Proved oil and gas reserves" are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic recovery by production is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any, and (B) the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can reasonably be judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
"Proved developed oil and gas reserves" are those proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas reserves expected to be obtained through the application of fluid injection or other improved secondary or tertiary recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery are included as "proved developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation of an installed recovery program has confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be achieved. "Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves" are those proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units are claimed only where it can be demonstrated with reasonable certainty that there is continuity of production from the
5 |
existing productive formation. Estimates for proved undeveloped reserves attributable to any acreage do not include production for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is required or contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same reservoir. "Reserve target" see "Prospect."
"Royalty interest" is a right to oil, gas, or other minerals that are not burdened by the costs to develop or operate the related property. "Seismic option" generally means an agreement in which the mineral owner grants the right to acquire seismic data on the subject lands and grants an option to acquire an oil and gas lease on the lands at a predetermined price. "Trend" means a geographical area along which a petroleum pay occurs (fairway).
"Working interest" is an interest in an oil and gas property that is burdened with the costs of development and operation of the property. Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Included in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-KSB which address activities, events or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
General
We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of natural gas and crude oil. We conduct our operations through subsidiary corporations. We are a Nevada corporation incorporated on September 2, 1999, as Palal Mining Corporation. In February 2002, we discontinued mining operations, changed our focus, and are currently focused on the exploration and development of oil and gas trends situated in Texas. We currently own interests in approximately 44 gross wells, in fields located in Waller, Victoria, DeWitt, Calhoun and Concho Counties, Texas region, with an average of a 70% net revenue interest in these wells. Additionally, we own interests in 4,871.7 net acres in Texas. The properties are titled in the name of Texas Brookshire Partners, Inc. and Texas Gohlke Partners, Inc. which are wholly owned subsidiary corporations.
In July 2002, we acquired Texas Brookshire Partners, Inc.("Brookshire") by issuing 15,376,103 shares of restricted common stock. Brookshire's key assets consist of a 77.75% working interest ownership in about 525 gross leasehold acres (95.73 net leasehold acres).
In September 2002, we acquired Texas Gohlke Partners, Inc. ("Gohlke"), by issuing 4,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. Gohlke's key assets consisted of a 100% working interest ownership in approximately 4,346.7 gross leasehold acres.
Further in November 2002, we purchased an additional 5% working interest in a field located in Waller County, Texas for $1.3 million which amount was paid and satisfied with an issuance of 1,250,000 shares of common stock. We also acquired a 1.95% working interest in and to the Brookshire Dome Field through the purchase of Yegua, Inc.
Effective in February 2003, we acquired BWC Minerals LLC for 1,735,431 shares of restricted common stock. The most significant asset of BWC is an 8.70% working interest in the Brookshire Dome Field.

Business Strategy
The Company's goal is to maximize Share value through profitable operations and through growth in our oil and gas reserves. We believe this can be achieved through the exploration and development of our existing prospect inventory located in Texas. The Company intends to supplement its exploration and development program with a well work-over program targeting certain of its existing properties that have potential for increased production. The Company intends to implement an acquisition program targeting properties that enhance the Company's reserve and production positions. The Company plans for additional capital expenditures are subject to the Company being successful in raising additional capital
The Company has a base production level in place from the Brookshire and Gohlke properties that can provide cash flow to assist in funding our exploration efforts. Exploration and development activities have higher associated risks than those associated with acquisitions of producing properties. Two of the largest risks associated with exploration and development activities are:
By utilizing a "portfolio" approach in our exploration activities, we expect to minimize the overall effect of these risks. We intend to participate in a larger number of exploratory and development activities by diversifying our ownership positions. We utilize available advanced technology, such as 3-dimensional ("3-D") seismic modeling to further reduce risk and enhance our success rates. We believe that the availability of economical 3-D seismic surveys fundamentally changed the risk profile of oil and gas exploration. Recognizing this, we will aggressively seek to acquire significant acreage blocks in selected areas for targeted 3-D seismic surveys. Using the data generated by initial proprietary seismic surveys, covering over 8.3 square miles, we have identified 6 potential drill sites in the Gohlke lease areas.
Oil and Gas Estimates and Producing Activities
The following table sets forth information as to the Company's net proved and proved developed reserves as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the present value as of such dates (based on an annual discount rate of 10%) of the estimated future net revenues from the production and sales of those reserves.
The Company does not currently believe that the calculation of estimated future net revenues using the assumptions prescribed by the Commission guidelines and generally described below is representative of the true value of future net revenues from the Company's proved reserves. The future prices received by the Company for the sales of its production may be higher or lower than the prices used in calculating the estimates of future net revenues, and the operating costs and other costs relating to such production may also increase or decrease from existing levels.

Future net cash flows were computed using year-end prices and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves. Future price changes are considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements. Estimated future development and production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Estimated future income tax expense is calculated by applying year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for permanent differences and tax credits) to estimated future pretax net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved.
These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and do not represent management's assessment of future profitability or future cash flows to Texen. Management's investments and operating decisions are based on reserves estimated that include proved reserves prescribed by the SEC as well as probable reserves, and on different price and cost assumptions from those used here.

Geological and Geophysical Techniques Geological interpretation is based upon data recovered
from existing oil and gas wells in an area and other sources. Such information
is either purchased from the entity that drilled the wells or that becomes
public knowledge information though filings required by state agencies. Through
analysis of rock types, fossils and the electrical and chemical characteristics
of rocks from existing wells, geologists engaged by the Company can construct a
picture of rock layers in the area and predict possible sites of hydrocarbon
accumulation. Well logs available to the Company facilitate the calculation of
an estimate of initial oil or gas volume in place while decline curves from
recorded production history facilitate the calculation of remaining proved
producing reserves. Market for Oil and Gas Production
The market for oil and gas production is regulated by both the state and federal governments. The overall market is mature and with the exception of gas, all producers in a producing region will receive the same price. Purchasers (or "Gatherers") will typically purchase all crude oil offered for sale at posted field prices which are adjusted for quality difference from the "Benchmark". Benchmark is the price of Saudi Arabian light crude oil employed as the standard on which OPEC price changes have been based. The Purchaser normally picks up the oil at the well site but in some instances there may be deductions for transportation from the well head to the sales point. The purchaser will usually handle all payment disbursements to both the working interest owners and the royalty interest owners. The Company is a working interest owner and is therefore responsible with other working interest owners if any, for the payment of its proportionate share of the operating expenses of the well. Royalty owners and over-riding royalty owners receive a percentage of gross oil and gas production revenue for a particular lease and are not responsible for the costs of operating the lease. Working interest owners, such as the Company, are typically responsible for all lease operating and production expenses.
Gas sales are by contract. Gas purchasers pay well operators 100% of the sale proceeds of gaseous hydrocarbons on or about the 25th of each month for the previous month's sales. The operator is responsible for all distributions to the working interest and royalty owners. There is no standard price for gas and prices will fluctuate with the seasons and the general market conditions.
Competition
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Our competitors and potential competitors include major oil companies and independent producers of varying sizes of which are engaged in the acquisition of producing properties and the exploration and development of prospects. Most of our competitors have greater financial, personnel and other resources than we do and therefore have a greater leverage to use in acquiring prospects, hiring personnel and marketing oil and gas. Accordingly, a high degree of competition in these areas is expected to continue.
Governmental Regulation
The production and sale of oil and gas is subject to regulation by state, federal and local authorities. In most areas there are statutory provisions regulating the production of oil and natural gas under which administrative agencies may set allowable rates of production and promulgate rules in connection with the
11 |
operation and production of such wells, ascertain and
determine the reasonable market demand of oil and gas, and adjust allowable
rates with respect thereto The sale of liquid hydrocarbons was subject
to federal regulation under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 which
amended various acts, including the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973.
These regulations and controls included mandatory restrictions upon the prices
at which most domestic crude oil and various petroleum products could be sold.
All price controls and restrictions on the sale of crude oil at the wellhead
have been withdrawn. It is possible, however, that such controls may be
reimposed in the future but when, if ever, such re-imposition might occur and
the effect thereof on us cannot be predicted. The sale of certain categories of natural
gas in interstate commerce is subject to regulation under the Natural Gas Act
and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 ("NGPA"). Under the NGPA, a comprehensive
set of statutory ceiling prices applies to all first sales of natural gas unless
the gas is specifically exempt from regulation (i.e., unless the gas is
"deregulated"). Administration and enforcement of the NGPA ceiling prices are
delegated to the FERC. In June 1986, the FERC issued Order No. 451, which, in
general, is designed to provide a higher NGPA ceiling price for certain vintages
of old gas. It is possible, though unlikely, that we may in the future acquire
significant amounts of natural gas subject to NGPA price regulations and/or FERC
Order No. 451. Our operations are subject to extensive and
continually changing regulation because legislation affecting the oil and
natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment and expansion. Many
departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to
issue and have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas
industry and its individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules
and regulations can result in large penalties. The regulatory burden on this
industry increases our cost of doing business and, therefore, affects our
profitability. However, we do not believe that we are affected in a
significantly different way by these regulations than our competitors are
affected. Transportation and Production
Transportation and Sale of Oil and Natural Gas. We can make sales of oil, natural gas and condensate at market prices which are not subject to price controls at this time. Condensates are liquid hydrocarbons recovered at the surface that result from condensation due to reduced pressure or temperature of petroleum hydrocarbons existing initially in a gaseous phase in the reservoir. The price that we receive from the sale of these products is affected by our ability to transport and the cost of transporting these products to market. Under applicable laws, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulates:
Our possible future sales of natural gas are affected by the availability, terms and cost of pipeline transportation. The price and terms for access to pipeline transportation remain subject to extensive federal and state regulation. Several major regulatory changes have been implemented by Congress and the FERC from 1985 to the present. These changes affect the economics of natural gas production, transportation and sales. In addition, the FERC is continually proposing and implementing new rules and regulations affecting these segments of the natural gas industry that remain subject to the FERC's jurisdiction. The most notable of these are natural gas transmission companies.
12 |
The FERC's more recent
proposals may affect the availability of interruptible transportation service on
interstate pipelines. These initiatives may also affect the intrastate
transportation of gas in some cases. The stated purpose of many of these
regulatory changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the
natural gas industry. These initiatives generally reflect more light-handed
regulation of the natural gas industry. The ultimate impact of the complex rules
and regulations issued by the FERC since 1985 cannot be predicted. In addition,
some aspects of these regulatory developments have not become final but are
still pending judicial and FERC final decisions. We cannot predict what further
action the FERC will take on these matters. However, we do not believe that any
action taken will affect us much differently than it would affect other natural
gas producers, gatherers and marketers with which we might compete against.
Effective as of January 1,
1995, the FERC implemented regulations establishing an indexing system for
transportation rates for oil. These regulations could increase the cost of
transporting oil to the purchaser. We do not believe that these regulations will
affect us any differently than other oil producers and marketers with which we
compete with.
Regulation of Drilling and Production. Our proposed drilling and production operations are subject to regulation under a wide range of state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Among other matters, these statutes and regulations govern:
the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment,
the discharge and disposition of waste materials,
the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites, and
the remediation of contaminated sites,
and require:
permits for drilling operations,
drilling bonds, and
reports concerning operations.
Texas law contains:
provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties,
the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, and
the regulation of the spacing, plugging and abandonment of wells.
Environmental Regulations
General. Our operations are affected by the various state, local and federal environmental laws and regulations, including the:
13 |
Clean Air
Act, Oil Pollution
Act of 1990, Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), Toxic
Substances Control Act, and Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"). these laws and regulations govern the
discharge of materials into the environment or the disposal of waste materials,
or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. In particular, the
following activities are subject to stringent environmental regulations:
Violations are subject to reporting
requirements, civil penalties and criminal sanctions. As with the industry
generally, compliance with existing regulations increases our overall cost of
business. The increased costs cannot be easily determined. Such areas affected
include: Environmental regulations historically have
been subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities. Therefore, we are
unable to predict the ongoing cost of compliance with these laws and regulations
or the future impact of such regulations on its operations. However, we do not
believe that changes to these regulations will have a significant negative
affect on our operations. A discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous
substances into the environment could subject us to substantial expense,
including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations pertaining to the
clean up of releases of hazardous substances into the environment and claims by
neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property
damage. We do not maintain insurance for protection against certain types of
environmental liabilities. The Clean Air Act requires or will require
most industrial operations in the United States to incur capital expenditures in
order to meet air emission control standards developed by the EPA and state
environmental agencies. Although no assurances can be given, we believe the
Clean Air Act requirements will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations.

RCRA is the principal federal statute governing the treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes. RCRA imposes stringent operating requirements, and liability for failure to meet such requirements, on a person who is either:
At present, RCRA includes a statutory exemption that allows oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes to be classified as non-hazardous waste. As a result, we will not be subject to many of RCRA's requirements because its operations will probably generate minimal quantities of hazardous wastes.
CERCLA, also known as "Superfund," imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original act, on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include:
the "owner" or "operator" of the site where hazardous substances have been released, and
companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site.
CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. In the course of our ordinary operations, we could generate waste that may fall within CERCLA's definition of a "hazardous substance." As a result, we may be liable under CERCLA or under analogous state laws for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which such wastes have been disposed.
Under such law we could be required to:
We could also be subject to other damage claims by governmental authorities or third parties related to such contamination.
The foregoing regulations do not and will not have any material adverse affect upon us.

Employees
We currently have six full time employees other than our officers and directors.
Risks Factors
1. We have a limited operating history and in our auditor's opinion, we may not be able to stay in business. In our auditor's opinion, there is doubt about our ability to continue in business as a going concern. Because we have a limited operating history we cannot reliably forecast our future operations. As a result we may not be able to stay in business. 2. Our actual drilling results are likely to differ from our estimates of proved reserves. We may experience production that is less than estimated in our reserve reports and drilling costs that are greater than estimated in our reserve reports. Such differences may be material. Estimates of our natural gas and oil reserves and the costs associated with developing these reserves may not be accurate. Development of our reserves may not occur as scheduled and the actual results may not be as estimated. Drilling activity may result in downward adjustments in reserves or higher than estimated costs. Our estimates of our proved natural gas and oil reserves and the estimated future net revenues from such reserves are based upon various assumptions, including engineering data furnished by petroleum engineers, including assumptions required by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to natural gas and oil prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. This process requires significant decisions and assumptions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. Therefore, these estimates are inherently imprecise and the quality and reliability of this data can vary. Our properties may also be susceptible to hydrocarbon drainage from production by other operators on adjacent properties. In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of development, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Actual production, revenues, taxes, development expenditures and operating expenses with respect to our reserves will likely vary from the estimates used. These variances may be material. 3. If we are not able to generate sufficient funds from our operations and other financing sources, we will not be able to finance our development activity or future acquisitions. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs to finance our acquisition and development program. Low commodity prices, production problems, disappointing drilling results and other factors beyond our control could reduce our funds from operations. We will also require future financing transactions to support our future operations. Additional financing may not be available to us in the future on acceptable terms or at all. In the event additional capital resources are unavailable, we may curtail our acquisition, drilling, development and other activities or be forced to sell some of our assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis. 4. Natural gas and oil prices are volatile, and low prices have had in the past and could have in the future a material adverse impact on our business. Our revenues, profitability and future growth and the carrying value of our properties depend substantially on the prices we realize for our natural gas and oil production. Our realized prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow and raise additional capital. Natural gas and oil are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for natural gas and oil have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Among the factors that can cause this volatility are: worldwide or regional demand for energy, which is affected by economic conditions; the domestic and foreign supply of natural gas and oil;
16 |
weather conditions; domestic and foreign governmental regulations; political conditions in natural gas or oil producing regions; the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree upon and maintain oil prices and production levels; and the price and availability of alternative fuels. It is impossible to predict natural gas and oil price movements with certainty. Lower natural gas and oil prices may not only decrease our revenues on a per unit basis but also may reduce the amount of natural gas and oil that we can produce economically. A substantial or extended decline in natural gas and oil prices may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and ability to finance planned capital expenditures. Further, oil prices and natural gas prices do not necessarily move together.
5. Because we have incurred significant losses from operations in recent years, our future operating results are difficult to forecast. Our failure to achieve or sustain profitability in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our failure to achieve or sustain profitability in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In considering whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider the historical financial and operating information available on which to base your evaluation of our performance. 6. We may incur substantial impairment write-downs. If management's estimates of natural gas and oil prices decline or if the recoverable reserves on a property are revised downward, we may be required to record additional impairment write-downs in the future, which would result in a negative impact to our financial position. We review our proved oil and gas properties for impairment on a depletable unit basis when circumstances suggest there is a need for such a review. A depletable unit is equal to the cost of the natural resource divided by estimated units of resource. For each property determined to be impaired, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the property on a depletable unit basis. Fair value is estimated to be the present value of expected future net cash flows computed by applying estimated future oil and gas prices, as determined by management, to the estimated future production of oil and gas reserves over the economic life of a property. Future cash flows are based upon our independent engineer's estimate of proved reserves. In addition, other factors such as probable and possible reserves are taken into consideration when justified by economic conditions and actual or planned drilling.7. The natural gas and oil business involves many uncertainties and operating risks that can prevent us from realizing profits and can cause substantial losses. Our development activities may be unsuccessful for many reasons, including weather, cost overruns, equipment shortages and mechanical difficulties. Moreover, the successful drilling of a natural gas or oil well does not ensure a profit on investment. A variety of factors, both geological and market-related, can cause a well to become uneconomical or only marginally economic. In addition to their cost, unsuccessful wells can hurt our efforts to replace reserves. The natural gas and oil business involves a variety of operating risks, including: fires; explosions; blow-outs and surface cratering; uncontrollable flows of natural gas, oil and formation water; natural disasters, such as tornados and other adverse weather conditions; casing collapses; embedded oil field drilling and service tools; abnormally pressured formations; and environmental hazards, such as natural gas leaks, oil spills, pipeline ruptures and discharges of toxic gases. If we experience any of these problems, it could affect well bores and gathering systems, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations. We could also incur substantial losses as a result of: injury or loss of life; severe damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment; pollution and other environmental damage; clean-up responsibilities; regulatory investigation and penalties; suspension of our operations; and repairs to resume operations. These conditions can cause substantial damage to facilities and interrupt production. As a result, we could incur substantial liabilities that could reduce or eliminate the funds available for development or leasehold acquisitions, or result in loss of equipment and properties.

13. Operating and environmental hazards could impair revenues. Hazards incident to the operation of oil and gas properties, such as accidental leakage of petroleum liquids and other unforeseen conditions, may be encountered by us if we participate in developing a well and, on occasion, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred. We could be subject to liability for pollution and other damages or may lose substantial portions of prospects or producing properties due to hazards which cannot be insured against or which have not been insured against due to prohibitive premium costs or for other reasons. We currently do not maintain any insurance for environmental damages. Governmental regulations relating to environmental matters could also increase the cost of doing business or require alteration or cessation of operations in certain areas. 14. Because our common stock is a "penny stock," investors may not be able to resell their shares and will have access to limited information about us. Our common stock is defined as a "penny stock," under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because our common stock is a "penny stock," investors may be unable to resell their shares. This is because the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the penny stock rules impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than accredited investors. As a result, fewer broker/dealers are willing to make a market in our common stock and investors may not be able to resell their shares. Further, news coverage regarding penny stock is extremely limited, if non-existent. As a result, investors only information will be from reports filed the with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
Our principal properties consist of developed and undeveloped oil and gas leases and the reserves associated with these leases which are described in Item 1 of this report. Generally, developed oil and gas leases remain in force so long as production is maintained. Undeveloped oil and gas leaseholds are generally for a primary term of three to five years. In most cases, the term of our undeveloped leases can be extended by paying delay rentals or by producing reserves that are discovered under our leases.
We lease our office space at 2401 Fountain View Drive, Suite 1008, Houston, Texas 77057 pursuant to a written lease agreement with Insite Realty. The lease is paid monthly at a rate of $1606.50. Management believes that additional office space will be required as our business grows.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not subject to any legal proceedings.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders in the fiscal year ending June 2004.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our common shares are traded on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol "TXEO." Our shares began trading on April 11, 2001. The following table sets forth the closing high and low bid prices of the common stock for each quarter within the last two years. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices and do not represent retail mark-ups, markdowns, commissions, and may not reflect actual transactions.

As of June 30, 2004 there were approximately 164 shareholders of record of our common shares. This does not reflect persons or entities that hold stock through various brokerage firms or depositories.
The market price of our common shares may to be the object of significant fluctuations related to a number of events and reasons, such as variations in our operating results, publication of technological developments or new products or services by us or our competitors, recommendations of securities analysts on us or our competitors, the operating and stock performance of other companies that the market may view as related to our business, and news reports relating to trends in our activities. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many high technology companies that may have often been not related or inconsistent to the operating performance of those companies. These fluctuations, as well as general political, economic and market conditions and other factors, may adversely affect the market price for our common stock.

Dividend Policy
We have never paid any cash dividends on our common shares and at present we do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our plan is to retain earnings, if any, to fund our future growth.
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our company's shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealers "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
The 2003 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 stock options for services rendered to the Company. As of June 30, 2004, 1,500,000 have been granted and 1,250,000 have been exercised and 3,500,000 options are available for issuance.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred revenue. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations are discussed below.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. We have not generated enough revenues from operations to drill, complete and rework wells on our leases accordingly we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of oil or gas found on our property. The Company expects to raise capital through the sale of securities or the arrangement of loans. As of the date hereof, we have not made sales of additional securities and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital through the sale of securities in the future. Further, we have not initiated any negotiations for loans to us and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital in the future through loans. In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

INCOME STATEMENT
Oil and Gas Revenues
For the year ending June 30, 2004, oil and gas revenues decreased from $619M to $424M due to a 54% decrease in volumes. This is partially offset by a 7% increase in oil and gas prices.
22 |
Drilling Income
For the year ending June 30, 2004, drilling income decreased from $95M to a loss of $18M, a 119% decrease. This is a result of non-utilization of drilling assets.
Executive Compensation
For the year ending June 30, 2004, executive compensation was increased by 13% due to the engagement of consultants pursuant to the development of the business strategy of the Company.
Lease Operating Expense
For the year ending June 30, 2004, lease operating expense decreased by 21%. This is primarily a result of decreased workovers and decreased production.
Dry Hole Costs
For the year ending June 30, 2004, dry hole costs of $262M was recorded as a result of unsuccessful drilling operations on the Mitchell #3 Well in Waller County, Texas.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
For the year ending June 30, 2004, a 64% increase of depreciation, depletion and amortization was recorded resulting from higher per unit expenses.
Interest and Finance Expenses
For the year ending June 30, 2004, interest and finance expenses decreased by 33% resulting from funds being advanced by a related party at reduced expense to the company.
BALANCE SHEET
Accounts Payable Related Party
For the year ending June 30, 2004, accounts payable of affiliates increased from $196M to $1,295M as a result of year end accruals and amount owed to company management.
Workovers
The company did not undertake any substantial workovers during 2004. As of the date of this filing, no substantial workovers have been undertaken pending receipt of additional capital.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company continues to incur operating expenses in excess of net revenue and will require capital infusions to sustain the company until operating results improve. The Company may not be able to obtain such infusions in a timely manner and as a result may incur liquidity imbalances.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with other discussions included in this document and with prior year's financial statements. Some of the statements are "Forward Looking Statements" and are thus prospective. As discussed, these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results to differ materially for the results expressed or implied by such statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this statement.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company as the Company has not issued any derivative instruments or engaged in any hedging activities as of June 30, 2003.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of the statement are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company currently reports stock issued to employees under the rules of SFAS 123. Accordingly, there is no change in disclosure requirements due to SFAS 148 as adopted by the Company during the year ended June 30, 2003.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 was issued in June 2002 and is effective December 31, 2002 with early application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS during the year ended June 30, 2002 and there has been no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations from adopting SFAS 146.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TexEn Oil & Gas, Inc. as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TexEn Oil & Gas, Inc. as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company's operating losses and significant impairment of oil and gas properties raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
TexEn Oil & Gas, Inc. (formerly Palal Mining Corporation) (hereinafter "TexEn" or "the Company") filed for incorporation on September 2, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada primarily for the purpose of acquiring, exploring, and developing mineral properties. The Company changed its name from Palal Mining Corporation to TexEn Oil & Gas, Inc. on May 15, 2002 upon obtaining approval from its shareholders and filing an amendment to its articles of incorporation. The Company shall be referred to as "TexEn" or "TexEn Oil & Gas, Inc." even though the events described may have occurred while the Company's name was Palal Mining Corporation. The Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
On July 1, 2002, TexEn developed a plan for acquisition, development, production, exploration for, and the sale of, oil, gas and natural gas liquids and accordingly ended its exploration stage as a mineral properties exploration company. The Company sells its oil and gas products primarily to domestic pipelines and refineries. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Prior to this, TexEn conducted its business as an exploration stage company, meaning that it intended to acquire, explore and develop mineral properties.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries consist of Texas Brookshire Partners, Inc. ("Brookshire"), Texas Gohlke Partners, Inc, ("Gohlke"), Brookshire Drilling Services, Inc. ("Drilling"), Yegua, Inc. ("Yegua") and BWC Minerals, LLC ("BWC").
Texas Brookshire Partners, Inc.
On July 15, 2002, the Company issued 15,376,103 shares of its
common stock in exchange for all the common stock of Texas Brookshire Partners,
Inc. ("Brookshire"). Common stock issued and outstanding was not affected
because of a major shareholder rescinding shares of stock equal in number to the
shares of stock issued for this acquisition. This transaction was considered to
be with a related party as Brookshire's president is also a shareholder of TexEn.
The Company recognized an increase of $8,107,131 in unproved properties due to
the value of Texen stock given to non-affiliated shareholders exceeding the
carryover basis by that amount. The market value of Texen Oil and Gas, Inc.
common stock was $1.40 on July 15, 2002. Non-affiliates represented 77% of these
shareholders while affiliates and promoters represented 23% of the shareholders.

the affiliated shareholders represented $739,064 at their basis. Liabilities
assumed, including accounts payable and payable to related party, totaled
$153,988 as of July 15, 2002. Brookshire's major assets consist of a 77.75%
working interest ownership in approximately 1,440 gross leasehold acres and 550
net leasehold acres located in the Brookshire Dome Field of Waller County,
Texas. This working interest ownership position consists of various interests in
26 wells drilled to date and one water injection well. Brookshire plans
additional development before expiration of the leasehold.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly,
upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of its statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accrued oil and gas runs,
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and loans and notes payable approximate
their fair value.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Compensated Absences
The Company's policy is to recognize the cost of compensated absences when
earned by employees. If the amount were estimatible, it would not be currently
recognized as the amount would be deemed immaterial.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of
shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting
them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per
share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the
earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Outstanding
options were not included in the computation of net loss per share because they
would be antidilutive.
Property and Equipment
Wells and related equipment and facilities, support equipment and facilities and
other property and equipment are carried at cost. Oil and gas assets are subject
to depreciation, depletion and amortization utilizing a unit of production
method. Depreciation for drilling equipment and other assets are subject to the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
which range from five to ten years.
Future Development and Abandonment Costs
Future development costs include costs incurred to obtain access to proved
reserves such as drilling costs and the installation of production equipment.
Future abandonment costs include costs to dismantle and relocate or dispose of
our production platforms, gathering systems and related structures and
restoration costs of land. In reviewing the assets in Brookshire and Gohlke, we
have determined that the costs to plug and abandon these wells are approximately
equal to the salvage value of associated production facilities. We will continue
to review these estimates and the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No 143 requirements on an annual basis.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No.
133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derivative Instruments (Continued)
These standards establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Successful Efforts Accounting
The company accounts for its oil and gas exploration and development activities
utilizing the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, cost
of productive exploratory wells, developmental dry hole and productive wells and
undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and gas acquisition costs are also
capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological
and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged
to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized,
but such costs are charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to
have found reserves in commercial quantities.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the units-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization of this partial unit are eliminated from the property account and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Successful Efforts Accounting (Continued)
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property, gain or loss on the
sale is recorded, with recognition given to the amount of any recorded
impairment if the property has been assessed individually. If a partial interest
in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction
of the cost of the interest retained.
Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest on expenditures for significant exploration and
development projects while activities are in progress to bring the assets to
their intended use. No amounts of interest were capitalized in the years ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to
reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
year end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if
management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not"
standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset. See Note
13.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit during exploration stage in the amount of $27,378,655 for the period of September 2, 1999 (inception) to June 30, 2004 and a net loss in the amount of $3,563,988 during the year ended June 30, 2004. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future successful explorations for and profitable operations from the development of oil and gas properties.
Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement at market value and public offering of its common stock as well as obtaining additional financing in the form of loans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Environmental Remediation and Compliance
Expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations that relate
to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures
resulting from the remediation of existing conditions caused by past operations
that do not contribute to future revenue generations are expensed. Liabilities
are recognized when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts
are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

Environmental Remediation and Compliance (Continued)
Estimates of such liabilities are based upon currently available facts, existing
technology and presently enacted laws and regulations taking into consideration
the likely effects of inflation and other societal and economic factors, and
include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also reflect other
companies' clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) or other organizations. Such estimates are by their nature
imprecise and can be expected to be revised over time because of changes in
government regulations, operations, technology and inflation. At June 30, 2004,
the Company accrued $10,750 for compliance with environmental regulations.
Recoveries are evaluated separately from the liability and, when recovery is assured, the Company records and reports an asset separately from the associated liability.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include those of TexEn Oil & Gas, Inc., Texas
Brookshire Partners, Inc., Texas Gohlke Partners, Inc., Brookshire Drilling
Services, Inc., Yegua, Inc., and BWC Minerals, L.L.C. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter "SFAS
No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in
statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were
classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company
has determined that there is no impact upon the adoption of this statement.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2004 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company as the Company has not issued any derivative instruments or engaged in any hedging activities as of June 30, 2004 or 2003.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
- Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement amends the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosure in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The provisions of the statement are effective for financial statements
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company currently reports
stock issued to employees under the rules of SFAS 123. Accordingly, there is no
change in disclosure requirements due to SFAS 148 as adopted by the Company
during the year ended June 30, 2004.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 was issued in June 2002 and is effective December 31, 2002 with early application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS during the year ended June 30, 2002 and there has been no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations from adopting SFAS 146.
Revenue Recognition
Oil and gas revenues are recorded using the accrual method. Under this method,
the Company recognizes revenues based on actual volumes of oil and gas produced.
Accounts Receivable
The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost. On a periodic basis, the
Company evaluates its accounts receivable and writes off receivables that are
considered non-collectible.
The Company's policy is to accrue interest on trade receivables 30 days after invoice date. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received by the Company within 90 days of invoicing. At that time, the Company will discontinue accruing interest and pursue collection. If a payment is made after pursuing collection, the Company will apply the payment to the outstanding principal first and resume accruing interest. Accounts are written off as non-collectible if no payments are received within 90 days after initiating collection efforts.

The Company accounted for this transaction by using the par value of the Company's common stock. During the year ended June 30, 2003, Sanka, L.L.C. acquired Chief Operating Company ("Chief") and Tiger Operating Company ("Tiger") as wholly owned subsidiaries. Chief and Tiger are the operators of the oil and gas properties held by the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
NOTE 8 - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The Company's oil and gas producing activities are subject to laws and regulations controlling not only their exploration and development, but also the effect of such activities on the environment. Compliance with such laws and regulations may necessitate additional capital outlays, affect the economics of a project, and cause changes or delays in the Company's activities. The Company's oil and gas properties are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Brookshire Dome Field
During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company acquired a 77.75% working

NOTE 11 - IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Corporation recorded an impairment loss on its oil and gas proved and unproved properties and its leasehold costs of oil and gas producing properties. The engineering reports on the oil and gas properties indicated that the undiscounted future cash flows from these properties would be less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets. The engineer reports also indicated that net leasehold acreage did not support the value carried by the Company. Accordingly, on June 30, 2003, the Company recognized an asset impairment loss of $20,407,559 ($0.46 per share). This loss is the difference between the carrying value of the oil and gas properties and the fair value of these properties based on discounted estimated future cash flows.
No additional impairment was deemed necessary by the Company for the year ended June 30, 2004.
NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $1,620,000 and $842,000, calculated at projected income tax rates of 34%. The deferred tax assets are principally derived from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been recorded at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The significant components of the deferred tax assets at June 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

Mr. Sims has been involved with Texen Oil and Gas most recently as Vice President of the Company from November 11, 2003 to July 21, 2004 and was involved as a consultant to the company prior to that. During the last 5 years Mr. Sims has been self-employed as an advisor for oil and gas exploration companies.Tatiana Golovina was our Secretary and Director from October 8, 2003 to November 11 2003 and our President, Principal Executive, Treasurer and Principal Financial Officer from November 11, 2003 to July 21,2004.

On June 26, 2003, John F. Templeton resigned as a member of the board of directors and was removed as president.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") requires officers and directors of a company with securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act, and persons who own more than 10% of the registered class of such company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Ms. Golovina is delinquent in filing her Form 3 and multiple Form 4s. Mr. Beckham did not file a Form 3 which was due upon his appointment as an officer and director on October 15, 2003. Mr. Beckman has since resigned as an officer and director.
Audit Committee and Charter
We have an audit committee and audit committee charter. Our audit committee is comprised of all of our officers and directors. None of the directors are deemed independent. All directors also hold positions as our officers. A copy of our audit committee charter is filed as an exhibit to this report. Our audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee. A copy of our audit committee charter is filed as an exhibit to this report.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We have no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our limited operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

Future Compensation of Our Officers
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, we intend to pay Michael Sims, our president, chief executive officer, secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer a base salary of $120,000. We have not determined if options will be granted to him in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year, whether such performance is measured by reference to our financial performance, our stock price, or any other measure other than our 2003 Incentive/or Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.
Compensation of Directors
We do not have any plans to compensate our directors in the immediate future. We do intend to grant our directors options for serving on our Board of Directors. For fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, we have not determined the compensation that we may grant our directors.
Indemnification
Pursuant to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 which may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore unenforceable.
