Thanks to Sagem for starting the thread.
With the current Bullish outlook on all things energy, I have started to look for other companies that may offer long term good value. On the surface TXO seem to provide just that. The TA is very positive; RSI / MACD amd MA all indicate further strength.
The recent results are also very encouraging and at arriving at an approxmiate value of 30p, the CEO has used an Oil Price of just $30.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Turnover for the year was 359,438 (2003 286,989) and there was a reduced loss
of 209,964 (2003 380,530).
During the year under review we completed the acquisition of 11 new wells on the
B.C.Christian lease, which were subsequently reworked and are in production
yielding significantly higher volumes than expected.
These accounts, however, do not reflect the significant acquisition of further
wells in the East Texas Oilfield, details of which were contained in the
circular to shareholders dated 29 June 2004, or the recent sharp rise in the oil
price.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on 22 November 2004 and the Notice of
this meeting is sent out with these Accounts.
Our wells
At the beginning of the financial year we had an interest in 86 wells (31 wells
with a 100% working interest and 55 wells with a 50% working interest) with a
further 11 wells being added during the year taking us to a total of 97 wells
(31 wells with a 100% working interest and 66 wells with a 50% working
interest).
Following completion, post year end, of the acquisitions approved by
shareholders on 22 July 2004, the Company owns interests in a total of 201 wells
in the East Texas Oilfield. Of those the company has a 100% working interest in
96 wells and a 50% working interest in 105 wells.
M-C Production and Drilling, our operating partner, owns the remaining 50%
working interest in the 105 wells, and the Company now has an interest in all of
M-C Production and Drilling's operated wells.
Royalties payable are a consistent 20% across the board.
Our production and sales
The successful completion of the BC Christian wells during the year helped to
contribute to a 23% increase in production. Sales for the year to 31 March 2004
were 24,845 barrels, which compares with sales for the year to 31st March 2003
of 20,204 barrels. Of the 201 wells owned at 31 July 2004, 61 wells were in
production, of which 11 were 100% owned and 50 were 50% owned.
We commenced our workover programme in August 2004 to bring the new wells back
into production at a projected rate of 8 wells per month. The recent rise in the
oil price has been well documented and we will benefit from this in the current
financial year even more as our production levels rise. We continue to sell our
oil to Sunoco under the terms of a longstanding agreement and receive a premium
of U.S $2.60 per barrel over the posted prices.
Our reserves
Following completion of the recent acquisitions the independent reserve reports
prepared by Keith Long in June 2004 indicate that the total Proved Reserves
amounted to 8,232,993 barrels with a net present value of $39,813,973 (assuming
an oil price of $30 per barrel). This equates to approximately 30 pence per
share.
At 31 March 2003 the company owned a 50% interest in 55 wells on 15 leases and a
100% interest in 31 wells on 9 leases. At that time these leases were estimated
to contain 2,766,325 barrels of oil and 825,416 mcf of gas with an estimated
future value of $12,622,109.
During the year these wells produced a total of 44,991 barrels of oil (24,845
barrels net to TXO before royalties) and a 50% interest in a further 11 wells
were purchased and reworked.
At 31 March 2004 the company owned a 50% interest in 66 wells on 15 leases and a
100% interest in 31 wells on 9 leases. These leases have been estimated to
contain 3,480,841 barrels of oil and 537,829 mcf of gas with an estimated future
value of $19,042,277.
The reserves were valued by Keith A. Long an independent petroleum consultant in
June 2003 and June 2004.
The valuation in June 2003 used an oil price of $24.50 per barrel and a gas
price of $3.50 per mcf.
The valuation in June 2004 used an oil price of $30.00 per barrel and a gas
price of $5.00 per mcf.
Share capital
At 31st August 2004 our issued shares increased to 73,297,673 ordinary shares of
5 pence. Included in this were 11,420,000 shares issued during the financial
year upon the exercise of warrants (a take up of 98 %) and 14,100,000 new shares
issued in July which have been used for the acquisition of new wells and to
finance the workover programme.
Our workover programme
From the recent placing and ongoing cash flow we believe we have sufficient
funds to complete the workover programme which will bring all the wells in which
we now have an interest into production.
We are expanding our interests in the proven East Texas Oilfield and will
continue to do so as opportunities arise. Our close association with M-C
Production and Drilling ensures that all such opportunities are seen and
evaluated by us at an early stage. Today we are one of the major independent
operators in that field.
I hope this review indicates the strength of our current situation and the
confidence of your Board going forward into 2005.
Since the last Annual General Meeting there have been no changes in the members
of the Board and I thank my colleagues for their continuing support, advice and
wisdom.
