ITEM 1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


            

        (a)    BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT


American Petro-Hunter Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated on January 24, 1996, pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Wolf Exploration, Inc. with a business plan to acquire properties for precious metal exploration in the western United States. However after considering several properties, the Company determined that the properties identified were not suitable to fully implement an exploration and development project in the United States. In August 1996 the Company changed management and developed a new business plan.


In October 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire two numbered companies that were combined with 714674 Alberta Ltd. continuing in operation. The business operated as Calgary Chemical, selling chemical products to the oil and gas industry.


In March 1997, the Company's name was changed to Wolf Industries Inc. to reflect these developments.


Effective June 30, 1998, the Company sold its subsidiary, 714674 Alberta Ltd. ("Calgary Chemical") to Gorda Technology Holdings Limited, a Turks and Caicos Islands corporation ("Gorda"). The terms of the sale were as follows:


        (a)    forgiveness of the inter-company debt owed by Calgary Chemical to the Company in the amount of $82,289 (Canadian);


        (b)    Payment by Gorda to the Company of fifteen percent of Calgary Chemical's after-tax profit (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 payable on or before March 31, 1999 and completion of an audit of the financial statements of Calgary Chemical for such period;


        (c)    Indemnification by Gorda to hold the Company harmless from any and all liability arising from the debt guarantees of Calgary Chemical;


        (d)    Agreement by Gorda to hire Mr. Blair Coady as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Calgary Chemical; and


        (e)    Receipt by the Company from Mr. Coady of his resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and Director of the Company and the surrender of Mr. Coady's options to acquire 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock.


This agreement is incorporated by reference from the Company's 10QSB filing for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.


The sale of Calgary Chemical was subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company, which was received at the Company's annual general meeting of July 24, 1998.



On April 8, 1998, the Company entered into a License agreement with Andrew Engineering Inc. ("Andrew") a British Columbia corporation, Andrew Rawicz Ph.D., and Ivan Melnyk, Ph.D., whereby the Company acquired a world-wide license to manufacture and market a patent pending device for the color matching of dentures to a dental patient's existing tooth color. Drs. Rawicz and Melnyk hold the patent pending for the color analyzer and Andrew developed and/or acquired the techniques and other proprietary information related to the device. The License agreement required the Company and Andrew to develop a business plan for manufacturing and marketing the device, including obtaining financing of $1,500,000 US. The license agreement required the issuance of 4.8 million shares of restricted stock to Andrew with registration rights on 600,000 of those shares, and also required that Mr. Patrick McGowan be appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. McGowan signed a management agreement with the Company, and at a meeting of the Company's Board of Directors held on April 16, 1998, Mr. McGowan and Mr. A. Schwabe were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors. They were also appointed interim President and CEO, and Secretary, Treasurer respectively, pending the approval of the shareholders of the Gorda transaction wherein Mr. Coady would resign from all positions. The agreement also provided for the Company to pay a royalty to Andrew in the amount of ten percent (10%) of gross profit on sales if the Company manufactures the product itself or a Royalty of seven percent (7%) of gross revenue if manufacturing is done by an independent third party.


This agreement is incorporated by reference from the Company's 10QSB filing for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.


Upon approval by the shareholders of the sale of Calgary Chemical at the 1998 annual general meeting, Mr. P. McGowan, Mr. A. Schwabe and Dr. David Gane were elected directors, and Messrs. McGowan and Schwabe were appointed President and CEO, and Secretary, Treasurer respectively.


In September 1998, 4.8 million shares of the Company's stock were issued to Andrew in accordance with that agreement.


As a result of settlement of the litigation with AEI Trucolor Inc. ("Trucolor"), the License Agreement was cancelled and the 4,800,000 shares were returned to the treasury in 1999.


This action was settled by the execution of two agreements, the effect of which was that the Company acquired a 40% interest in Trucolor, an arm's length company. As a result of the agreement, Trucolor became the owner of the rights to the device.


Pursuant to an agreement dated June 14, 2000, the Company purchased a 100% interest in a private company owned by a former director of the Company called Travelport Media Inc. ("TPI"). TPI was a Nevada, USA incorporated private internet e-commerce technology and content development company specializing in the travel and hospitality industry. The agreement required the Company to issue 3,000,000 share purchase warrants in exchange for a 100% interest in TPI. The share purchase warrants allowed the holder to purchase 3,000,000 common shares of the Company for $0.27 per share. The warrants became vested and exercisable over a five-year period as follows:

The number of share purchase warrants would vest according to the above schedule provided that the holder of the warrants remained retained as a consultant by the Company. If the warrant holder was no longer retained as a consultant, any unvested warrants would immediately expire. Before the end of December 31, 2000, the Company's relationship with the consultant and former shareholder of TPI became strained, resulting in the consultant resigning as a director of the Company on September 11, 2000. The Company has recorded the 500,000 vested warrants at their intrinsic value on the June 14, 2000 grant date of $80,000 in the books of the Company as compensation expense. In addition, as they are no longer recoverable, the Company has written off all advances to TPI and expenses paid by the Company on TPI's behalf to the statement of loss and retained earnings (deficit) as of December 31, 2000.


In addition, the Company issued 300,000 share purchase warrants to companies controlled by a director as finder's fees for bringing the two parties in the above noted transaction together. The Warrants enabled the holder to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company at $0.27 each for a period of five years. The Company has recorded the warrants in its books at their June 14, 2000 intrinsic value of $48,000. As a result of the separation of the parties involved in the above transaction, the share purchase warrants were cancelled by the Company before exercise.


In November, 2000, the Company received shareholder and regulatory approval to change its name to "Travelport Systems Inc." in anticipation of its new business direction.


Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby the Company would give its interest in the shares of TPI back to the original owner on the condition that the original owner and former director of the Company would assume a liability of $86,000 which was incurred by the Company on behalf of TPI for the purchase of certain computer equipment. The $86,000 liability is included in accounts payable of the Company as at December 31, 2000. As the computer equipment was purchased on behalf of TPI, the Company has written off its interest in the equipment as part of the advances to Travelport Media, Inc.


In addition, subsequent to December 31, 2000 the Company cancelled 150,000 share purchase options exercisable at $0.15 per share until October 11, 2005, and the Company cancelled 200,000 share purchase options exercisable at $0.25 per share until October 19, 2005 issued to employees of TPI.


As a result of termination of the TPI agreement, the Company decided to change its business direction to oil and gas opportunities, and received shareholder and regulatory approval to change its name to "American Petro-Hunter Inc. in August, 2001.


        (b) BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER


DENTAL COLOR ANALYZER


During 1998, the Company sold Calgary Chemical and acquired the worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to a dental color analyzer ("the product"). This technology was developed to assist the dental industry in determining the shades and colors of dental materials used in replacement and/or restorative work, by precisely matching these shades to the original teeth of patients. The dental color analyzer discriminates between the minutest differences in tooth shading and determines the best shade match for partial or total restorative material. It does so by taking into account the differences in color of spectrally unmatched materials when illuminated with different light sources such as sunlight, incandescent lamps, and fluorescent lamps.


Since acquiring the rights in April 1998, the Company's efforts have been directed towards research, development and business plans for manufacturing and marketing the product. This has involved manufacturing a small quantity of the product for testing and demonstration purposes; engaging technical experts and firms to evaluate the product; attendance at dental conventions and shows to demonstrate the product; attendance at various dental firms and laboratories to demonstrate and evaluate the product; and work on both the product and related software to perfect its operation. The Company has also engaged the assistance of consultants to develop marketing plans for the product. This has resulted in the Company incurring substantial research and development expenditures in the year 1998.


The Company has also held discussions with companies involved in the distribution of dental products in Canada, the United States and Europe regarding marketing of the product.


The Company developed preliminary business plans to proceed with manufacture and sale of the units, but was delayed in proceeding pending completion of this research and development, and by the action brought against the Company by AEI Trucolor


As a result of settlement of the Trucolor action, Trucolor became the owner of the dental color analyzer. The manufacturing/distribution agreement was not consummated with a third party, as anticipated by the settlement agreement, and as a result the Company owns a 40% interest in Trucolor, and GPT owns a 60% interest.



ITEM 2.    DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY


Effective January, 2000, the Company relocated its office to Surrey, B.C., under a verbal agreement with R-G Management, a company owned by a director of the Company, to pay Canadian $200.00 per month for office rent, plus telephone charges and disbursements. The Company shares this office with other companies, and occupies approximately 150 square feet.



ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Canadian Western Bank


During 2002, The Company received a formal demand for payment from Canadian Western Bank ("CWB") whereby CWB, pursuant to a full liability guarantee provided by the Company in favor of 714674 Alberta Ltd. (operating as Calgary Chemical) is demanding payment of Cdn$102,000 (approx. US$79,000).


The Company divested itself of Calgary Chemical in 1998 under an agreement with the former president of the Company. The agreements covering the transaction included an indemnity guarantee from the purchaser whereby the purchaser would indemnify and save harmless the Company from any and all liability, loss, damage or expenses.


The Company intends to defend itself against the claim from CWB, believing that it has a valid indemnification from the purchaser of Calgary Chemical.


This contingent liability is not reflected in the accounts of the Company, and will be recorded as an expense only if and when the Company is required to pay any amount in settlement of the claim.

ITEM 6.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


The following should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.


Revenue and expense transactions in Canadian funds are converted to US dollars at the average rates in effect when the transactions occurred. Asset and liability accounts are converted at year-end closing rates, which were U.S. $0.7713 for one Canadian dollar at December 31, 2003 and $0.6339 at December 31, 2002.


Plan of Operations


The Company has had no revenues during the 2003 and 2002 fiscal years. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Having no sources of income, substantial doubt is raised about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


The Company's plan of operations for the remainder of the fiscal year is to seek out a privately held business with whom the Registrant can reorganize so as to take advantage of the Company's status as a publicly held corporation. As of the date of this report, Management has evaluated several potential reorganizations. However as of the date of this report, there has been no decision to proceed on any reorganization nor has any agreement been reached on even principal terms of such reorganization. The Company also intends to investigate the acquisition and development of natural resource projects without necessarily reorganizing with another party.

 

During the 2003 fiscal year, the Company investigated potential acquisitions, but did not proceed with them, as they were deemed unsuitable for acquisition by the Company.

 

        (a)    Results of Operations


The Company has had no revenues since June 30, 1998.


Administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, were $32,214, compared to $12,601 in 2002. The Company's administration costs were minimal in 2003, as it limited its activities to investigating potential acquisitions. During 2001, the Company incurred costs in finalizing and canceling its agreement with Travelport Media Inc ("TPI"), and also incurred substantial consulting fees required to investigate and evaluate proposed resource property acquisitions. As a result of the decision to give up its interest in TPI, the Company wrote off advances to TPI of $14,412 in 2001.

            

         (b)    Capital Resources


The Company had a working capital deficiency of $229,033 at December 31, 2003. The Company has been meeting its obligations through funds loaned by a shareholder, and has issued capital stock for certain services rendered to the Company in accordance with S-8 registration filings.


As at April, 2004, the balance of funds loaned by the shareholder amounted to US$33,004.


The Company is now investigating new business opportunities, and intends to develop future plans, which will include issuing shares through private placements in order to provide funds for working capital and investment in such opportunities.

 

The Company has made no commitments for capital expenditures.


         (c)    Liquidity


The Company is illiquid at the present time and has been dependent upon a shareholder to provide funds to maintain its activities, as indicated previously. Once a suitable acquisition is identified, the Company expects to be able to raise funds through the issuance of shares.



ITEM 7.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA


The financial statements of the Company are filed under this Item, and are included herein by reference.



ITEM 8.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

    None.

In 1996 and 1997, a total of 960,000 options to purchase shares were granted under this plan. As a result of the sale of Calgary Chemical, and change of management, the 960,000 options were cancelled in 1998. By resolution of the directors of the Company dated May 28, 1998, the Company reserved an additional one million shares of common stock of the Company for the Plan bringing the total shares reserved to 2,000,000 and renamed the Plan "The Wolf Industries Inc. 1998 Directors and Officers Stock Option Plan" ("the Revised Plan") with all other terms and conditions of the Plan remaining in full force and effect.


In September 1998, the Company by resolution of the directors, established the "1998 Key Personnel Compensation Plan" ("Key Plan") whereby 1,000,000 shares of the Company's stock was reserved for issuance. By resolution of the directors dated November, 1998, a further 1,000,000 shares of common stock was authorized to be reserved for issuance, bringing the total issuable under the Key Plan to 2,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

During 1998, under the terms of the Revised Plan, a total of 1,050,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company were granted to three officers and directors of the Company at $0.25 per share for a five-year period.


During 1998, under the terms of the Key Plan, options to purchase 75,000 shares of the common stock of the Company was granted to an employee at $0.25 per share, for a five-year period. Also under the terms of the Key Plan, 1,973,026 shares of common stock of the Company were issued at a deemed price of $0.25 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a deemed price of $0.20 per share for services rendered by key personnel to the Company. In 1999, under the terms of the Key plan, 350,000 shares were issued at a deemed price of $0.18, and 100,000 shares were issued at a deemed price of $0.15.


During 2000, 30,000 options were granted at $0.30, and 300,000 at $0.25, for five-year periods, under the terms of the two plans.


In October, 2000, the Company by resolution of the directors, established the 2000 Stock Option Plan ("2000 Plan"), whereby 5,000,000 of the company's stock was reserved for issuance. During 2000, under the terms of the 2000 Plan, 50,000 options to purchase shares were granted at $0.30, 200,000 were granted at $0.15, and 200,000 were granted at $0.25, all for five year periods.


In September, 2001, the Company by resolution of the directors, established the 2001 Stock Option Plan ("2001 Plan"), whereby 1,500,000 of the company's stock was reserved for issuance. During 2001, under the terms of the 2001 Plan, 1,000,000 options to purchase shares were granted at $0.15 for five-year periods.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of American Petro-Hunter Inc.


We have audited the balance sheets of American Petro-Hunter Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the statements of loss and retained earnings (deficit); stockholders' equity and cash flows for the each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States and Canada. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Petro-Hunter Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2003 in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.


Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that the Company has incurred a net loss of $57,652 for the year ended December 31, 2003, has a stockholders' deficiency of $229,032, and as at that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $229,033. In addition, the Company has an unresolved contingency as described in Note 8. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

 

1.    OPERATIONS


American Petro-Hunter Inc. was incorporated under corporate charter of the State of Nevada on January 4, 1996 as Wolf Exploration Inc. Active operations commenced on July 10, 1996. On March 17, 1997, Wolf Exploration Inc. changed its name to Wolf Industries Inc.; on November 21, 2000, changed its name to Travelport Systems Inc., and on August 17, 2001, changed its name to American Petro-Hunter Inc. The Corporation's business offices are located in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.


2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


         (a)    Foreign Currency Translation


The Company's functional currency is the Canadian Dollar and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the rate in effect on the dates of the related transactions. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates approximating exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Gains or losses arising on conversion of foreign currency transactions are included in income or expense in the period they occur.


         (b)    Income Taxes


The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109. The only significant tax assets the Company has are the accumulated non-capital losses, which are available to offset future taxable income. The Company's operations have no income subject to income taxes and cannot be determined that such tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, the Company would eliminate the effect of the recognition of any of these tax assets by the recording of a valuation allowance equal to the value of the tax assets.


        (c)    Use of Estimates


            

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, required management to make estimates and assumptions that reflect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


        (d)    Loss Per Share

            

Basic net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year and dilutive common equivalent shares from options and warrants outstanding during the year. No common equivalent shares are included for loss periods as they would be anti-dilutive.


         (e)    Investment in AEI Trucolor Inc.


The Company carries its interest in AEI Trucolor Inc., a British Columbia private corporation, at cost. The Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee.

 


3.    COMMON STOCK


        a)    Authorized:    200,000,000 common shares, par value $0.001 each.

b)    At December 31, 2003, options providing for the issue of additional common shares are outstanding as follows:

 

Number Price Expiration Date
     
3,000 $3.00 March 20, 2005
5,000 $3.00 June 20, 2005
800,000 $0.15 October 31, 2006



 

(c)    The Company accounts for options granted using the intrinsic value method and in accordance with the accounting prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No 25 ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. An alternative method is the fair value accounting provided for under FASB statement No. 123 ("SFAS No 123"), which required the use of option valuation models. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its options granted under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions; risk free rate of 5.25%; no dividends, volatility factor of the expected life of the Company's common stock of 180%; and a weighted average expected life of the options granted in each year of four to five years. The pro forma effect of SFAS No 123 is as follows:

 

  Pro Forma
December 31, 2003  
   
Net loss for the year $   57,652 
Loss per share $       0.01
   
  Pro Forma
December 31, 2002  
   
Net loss for the year $      29,664
Loss per share $          0.01

 

4.    RELATED PARTIES

 

(i) During the year, the Company paid or accrued $23,758 (2002 - $15,516) for management fees to a director.


(ii) A total of $7,710 (2002 - $13,802) was paid or accrued to a company owned by a director of the Company for accounting fees, office services and rent.


(iii) Accounts payable includes $36,714 (2002 - $23,255) payable to a director and a company owned by a director.

 

5.    AEI TRUCOLOR INC.

 

The Company holds a 40% interest in AEI Trucolor Inc, a private British Columbia Corporation and has previously written down its carrying value to a nominal amount to reflect its impaired value.

 

 

6.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the company is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values.

 

7.    INCOME TAXES

 

Future tax assets (liabilities) of the Company are as follows:

 

 

2003

2002

 

 

 

 

 

Operating and capital losses

$

1,040,000

$

1,020,000

1,020,000

         

Future tax asset (liability) recognized

$

As at December 31, 2003, the Company has incurred income tax losses totaling approximately $3,060,000 (2002 -$3,000,000).

 

A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net benefit recorded in the financial statements related to these future tax assets. The valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of these tax assets.

 

8.    CONTINGENCY

 

The Company received a demand for payment from Canadian Western Bank ("CWB") whereby CWB, pursuant to a guarantee provided by the Company in favor of 714674 Alberta Ltd. (operating as Calgary Chemical) of Cdn$102,000 (approx. US$79,000).


The Company divested itself of Calgary Chemical in 1998 under an agreement with the former president of the Company. The agreements covering the transaction included an indemnity guarantee from the purchaser whereby the purchaser would indemnify and save harmless the Company from any and all liability, loss, damage or expenses.


The Company intends to defend itself against the claim from CWB. The Company believes it has a valid indemnification from the purchaser of Calgary Chemical.


The ultimate loss to the Company, if any, is uncertain and depends upon a successful defence and the extent of any impairment if an indemnification claim is made against the purchaser. The outcome of this contingency cannot be determined at this time.


 

9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT


Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company issued a total of 475,000 shares at a deemed value of $57,000 to two directors and a consultant for services rendered to the Company.

 

10.    COMPARATIVE FIGURES

 

Certain comparative figures have been re-classified to conform with the current year's presentation.
