SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In
addition to historical information, this Annual Report contains statements
that
plan for or anticipate the future, including without limitation statements
under
the captions “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.” These forward-looking statements
include statements about our future business plans and strategies, future
actions, future performance, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of
contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, objectives
of management, and other such matters, as well as certain projections and
business trends, and most other statements that are not historical in nature,
that are “forward-looking”.
Because
we are a “penny stock”, you cannot rely on the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking information may be included in this Annual
Report or may be incorporated by reference from other documents we have filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You can identify these
forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “could,”
“should,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “estimate,”
“forecast,” “potential,” “intend,” “continue” and variations of these words or
comparable words. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future
performance, and because forward-looking statements involve future risks and
uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied. These risks and uncertainties
include, without limitation, those described under “RISK FACTORS” in Item 1 of
this Annual Report and those detailed from time to time in our filings with
the
SEC.
We
have
based the forward-looking statements relating to our operations on management’s
current expectations, estimates, and projections about us and the industry
in
which we operate. These statements are not guarantees of future performance
and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In
particular, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on
assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Because
forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated by these forward-looking statements. For example, a few of the
uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements
include:
|
·
|
Changes
in general economic and business conditions affecting
us;
|
|
·
|
Changes
in the assumptions used in making forward-looking
statements;
|
|
·
|
Legal
or policy developments that diminish our
appeal;
|
|
·
|
Changes
in our business strategies;
|
|
·
|
Our
limited operating history;
|
|
·
|
The
degree and nature of our
competition;
|
|
·
|
Our
ability to employ and retain qualified employees;
and
|
|
·
|
The
other factors referenced in this Annual Report, including without
limitation, under the captions “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation.”
|
These
risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Annual Report include
additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial
performance. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and changing environment.
New
risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management
to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on
our
business or to the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, we caution
you
not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of
actual results. All forward-looking statements are made only as of the date
of
this Annual Report. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material
information as required by federal securities laws, we do not intend to update
you concerning any future revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report. We
undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information or future
events.
PART

Item
1. Description
of Business
The
business of Knight Energy Corp. (“Knight”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “its”), is to
acquire, develop, own, operate and otherwise be involved and invest in
energy-related businesses, assets and investments, including, without
limitation, the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and
crude oil, the acquisition and operation of drilling rigs and/or gathering
systems and/or pipelines for natural gas and/or crude oil, and other related
businesses, assets and investments. The Company’s website is
www.knightenergycorp.com.
History
of Company Development
We
were
originally formed as a Nevada corporation on May 8, 1998 with the name "The
Living Card Corporation." On June 14, 2000, we changed our name to Integrated
Technology Group, which we refer to herein as ITG. From formation and until
approximately July 2000, we engaged in the creation, development and marketing
of unique, educational and low-cost greeting cards.
During
2000, ITG's management decided to exit the greeting card business. Subsequently,
in July 2000 ITG acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Safe
Tire
Disposal Corp., a Delaware corporation whose subsidiaries were engaged in the
tire recycling business in Texas and Oklahoma. We engaged in this business
between July 2000 and early 2003, when we halted operations. In August 2003,
we
filed a Form 15 with the SEC suspending our reporting obligations, and we were
inactive between August 2003 and February 2006.
On
March
2, 2006, Knight Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Knight Delaware") was
formed. Knight Delaware's business plan is to acquire, develop, own, operate
and
otherwise be involved and invest in energy-related businesses, assets and
investments, including, without limitation, the acquisition, exploration and
development of natural gas and crude oil, the acquisition and operation of
drilling rigs and/or gathering systems and/or pipelines for natural gas and/or
crude oil, and other related businesses, assets and investments.
In
June
2006, Knight Delaware and ITG consummated a stock exchange pursuant to which
ITG
issued shares of its common stock for al of the outstanding shares of Knight
Delaware, and Knight Delaware became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITG. After
the
stock exchange agreement was signed in June 2006, ITG changed its name to
Knight
Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Knight Nevada"), and when this transaction
closed, Knight Delaware became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Knight
Nevada.
In
April
2007, the Knight Nevada Board of Directors and a majority of the stockholders
approved an amendment to the Knight Nevada Articles of Incorporation increasing
the Company's authorized capital to a total of 550,000,000 shares of stock,
consisting of 50,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock, $0.0001 par value
per share, and 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per
share.
On
April
11, 2007 and April 12, 2007, respectively, the Board of Directors and the
stockholders approved the reincorporation of the Company as a Maryland
corporation ("Knight Maryland"), which was effective on April 30,
2007.
Our
Strategy
Management
believes that:
|
·
|
Natural
gas is an environmentally friendly fuel that will be increasingly
valued
in the United States;
|
|
·
|
There
are a number of natural gas and/or oil and development projects that
we
are pursuing which will require significant capitalization to complete,
explore and develop;
|
|
·
|
We
have the ability to assemble the technical and commercial and resources
needed to pursue these potential projects; and
|
|
·
|
Our
successful development of one or more large potential natural gas
or oil
projects will create substantial shareholder value.
|
The
principal elements of our strategy to maximize shareholder value are:
Generate
growth through drilling.
We
expect to generate long-term reserve and production growth predominantly through
our drilling activities. We anticipate the substantial majority of our future
capital expenditures will be directed toward the drilling of wells, although
we
expect to continue to acquire additional leasehold interests. Initially, we
anticipate reserve growth will be our primary focus with a more balanced reserve
and production growth profile as we continue to execute our growth strategy.
Manage
costs by maximizing operational control.
We seek
to exert control over our exploration, exploitation and development activities.
As the operator of our projects, we have greater control over the amount and
timing of the expenditures associated with those activities. As we manage our
growth, we are focused on reducing lease operating expenses and general and
administrative costs, and finding and development costs on a per mcfe basis.
As
of December 31, 2007, we operated 100% of our wells, although we may not be
able to be operator of all our future projects.
Pursue
complementary leasehold interests and property acquisitions.
We
intend to attempt to supplement our drilling strategy with complementary
leasehold interests and property acquisitions.
Current
Natural Gas and Oil Projects
We
are in
the process of building our portfolio of exploration and exploitation projects
targeting both oil and natural gas. We believe that there is potential for
commercial development in areas where historical drilling attempts resulted
in
indications of oil and gas but ultimate development was not pursued, and we
intend to continue to focus our activities in areas having this profile. We
believe that the application of advanced drilling, completion and stimulation
technologies combined with a strong commodity pricing environment could make
development of our project areas economically viable.
Through
Charles Hill Drilling, Inc. (“CHD”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, we control oil
and gas leases on approximately 2,200 acres located in Stephens County and
Eastland County, Texas. Additionally, we have a right of first refusal on oil
and gas leases for approximately 2,600 acres in the same counties. On these
leases, we have a total of sixty-six (66) wells with twenty (20) of them
producing. As of March 15, 2008, we were receiving an aggregate of approximately
35 barrels of oil and 500,000 mcf of natural gas per day from these 20 producing
wells.
In
November 2006, we acquired an oil and gas lease covering approximately 1,000
undeveloped acres in the Salt Creek Prospect area of Oklahoma. We intend to
conduct a satellite imaging program to further evaluate this acreage. We also
intend to pursue acquisitions and/or investment in other energy-related
businesses, assets, and/or investments, as opportunities, time and available
capital will permit.

Proved
reserves are those quantities of gas that, by analysis of geological
and
engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be
commercially recoverable from known reservoirs and under current
economic
conditions, operating methods and government regulations.
|
| (b) |
PDP
are developed reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing
wells. PDBP are proved developed behind pipe and PDNP are proved
non-producing reserves which are proved reserves that are expected
to be
recovered from existing wells. PUD are provided undeveloped reserves,
which are expected to be recovered: (i) from new wells on undrilled
acreage; (ii) from deepening existing wells to a different reservoir;
or
(iii) where a relatively large expenditure is required to re-complete
an existing well or install production or transportation facilities
for
primary or improved recovery
projects.
|
| (c) |
PV-10
represents the present value, discounted at 10% per annum, of estimated
future net revenue before income tax of our estimated proved reserves.
The
estimated future net revenues were determined by using reserve quantities
of proved reserves and the periods in which they are expected to
be
developed and produced based on economic conditions prevailing at
December
31, 2007 and 2006. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure because
it
excludes income tax effects. Management believes that the presentation
of
the non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10 provides useful information
to
investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and
sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and natural gas companies.
PV-10
is not a measure of financial or operating performance under GAAP.
PV-10
should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure
as
defined under GAAP. We have included a reconciliation of PV-10 to
the most
directly comparable GAAP measure — standardized measure of discounted
future net cash flow — in the following
