MIDLAND, Texas, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Heritage Corporation (NASDAQ:UHCP) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2007.
On September 26, 2007, Blackwood Ventures LLC (BVL), a limited liability company organized in the State of Delaware with Blackwood Capital Limited as its Managing Member, acquired the largest stake in United Heritage Corporation. BVL intends to actively manage its investment in United Heritage and its four leases covering 10,500 acres in the Wardlaw Field located in Edwards County, Texas. Since the change in management that occurred in September 2007, there has been limited oil production on the field, which we believe can be improved, and the Company expects to commence a pilot project on this acreage during first quarter of the 2008 calendar year.
Andrew Taylor-Kimmins, a principal at Blackwood Capital said, "We at Blackwood have spent the last two months working with United Heritage to design a pilot project and to establish a management team that we believe will be able to maximize the opportunities available to United Heritage. We are hopeful that future results of the Company's operations will reflect the positive changes that we believe we've made." Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased over 99%, to $455, as compared to $347,626 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Revenues for the six month period also decreased over 99% over the same period in the 2006 fiscal year, from $656,091 for the six months ended September 30, 2006 to $4,315. The decrease in revenue was due to the sale of the Company's New Mexico property which, prior to the sale, accounted for a significant portion of its production and sale of oil and all of its production and sale of natural gas.
Due to the sale of the New Mexico property, the Company had net income of $1,140,367 for the three months and $1,258,233 for the six months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to a net loss of $685,565 for the three months and a net loss of $1,383,264 for the six months ended September 30, 2006.
Due to the sale of the New Mexico property, income per share was $0.18 for the three months and $0.20 for the six months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with a net loss per share of $0.11 and $0.22 for the same periods during the 2006 fiscal year.
Total operating costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased approximately 65%, from $930,673 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $325,758. Total operating costs and expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2007 decreased approximately 59%, from $1,888,748 in 2006 to $769,402. The significant decrease in operating expenses reported for the six months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 resulted primarily from a decrease in production and operating costs which resulted from the sale of the Company's New Mexico property, a decrease in depreciation and depletion expense which also resulted from the sale of the New Mexico property, and a reduction in general and administrative expenses. Production and operating expenses decreased by $438,001, or approximately 94% from $468,478 to $30,477 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 and by $571,145, or approximately 90%, from $634,184 to $63,039 for the six months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2006. Depreciation and depletion decreased by $174,960, or approximately 99% from $175,298 in the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $338 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Depreciation and depletion decreased by $345,996, or approximately 99% from $346,672 in the six months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $676 for the six months ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses decreased by $122,738, or approximately 43%, from $286,897 in the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $164,159 in the three months ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses decreased by $546,557, or approximately 60%, from $907,892 in the six months ended September 30, 2006 to $361,335 in the six months ended September 30, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of decreases in professional fees, insurance and stock compensation expense.
The Company ended the period with cash of $5,463 as compared to cash of $1,671,672 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company's operations used $1,484,739 of cash in the six months ended September 30, 2007. Cash was used primarily for accounts payable and accrued expenses, which totaled $1,433,461 offset, in part, by accounts receivable of $432,808. The Company used $2,699 in investing activities during the period. The Company's total liabilities at September 30, 2007 were $3,704,399 as compared to $9,179,582 at March 31, 2007, the end of the prior fiscal year. The significant decrease in the Company's total liabilities related primarily to decreases in accounts and notes payable. The primary component of the Company's current liabilities is comprised of $2,866,642 in accrued put option liability.
The Company's Texas property does not produce significant levels of oil and the Company currently has no source of cash for operations. The Company intends to seek financing to develop its Texas property, however there is no guarantee that it will be successful.
The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial losses from its operations and it has a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. For the six month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company had operating revenues of $4,315 and $656,091 and operating costs and expenses of $769,402 and $1,888,748, respectively. The Company has a working capital deficit of $3,529,361 at September 30, 2007. Unless the Company is able to obtain the financing it needs to develop its properties, it will not be able to continue as a going concern.
