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.

ITEM 1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Continued)

 


(a)

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT (Continued)


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.

(b)

BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER (Continued)


DENTAL COLOR ANALYZER (Continued)


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$85,000).


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.


The amount of the guarantee provided by the Company was accrued in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

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.$0.8598 for one Canadian dollar at December 31, 2005 and $0.8319 at December 31, 2004.


Plan of Operations


The Company has had no revenues during the 2005 and 2004 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 2005 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, 2005 were $42,329, compared to $23,382 in 2004. Executive compensation was $26,268 and rent was $2,114 compared to $23,889 and $1,929 respectively in 2004. Administration expenses in 2005 include an additional $16,466 of additional audit fees. During 2005, the Company received requests from the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information and changes to its filings. The primary change was to add a column of expenses incurred since inception to date ("cumulative since inception") to the statements of operations and cash flows, for the December 31, 2004 year-end 10KSB, and the March, June, and September, 2005 10QSB's,  in addition to certain other changes.  In order for our auditors to express the required opinion on the cumulative since inception numbers it was necessary for them to audit this information from the inception of the Company. It was also a requirement that our auditors review the amended 10QSB's for the first three quarters of the year. In addition, the higher amounts in 2005 are also due to the increased value of the Canadian dollar in US funds. The Company's administration costs were otherwise essentially comparable to 2004 as the Company was relatively inactive, other than investigating potential acquisitions. Also, in 2004 the amount of the loan guarantee to Canadian Western Bank of $84,858 was accrued in the financial statements for the year.


(b)

Capital Resources


The Company had a working capital deficiency of $295,280 at December 31, 2005. During 2005, the Company closed a private placement of 1,500,000 units at $0.05, consisting of one common share and one warrant to purchase shares of common stock at $0.10 for a three-year period, for proceeds of $75,000, and settled advances from a director of $11,969 by the issuance of 239,380 units at $0.05, consisting of one common share and one warrant to purchase shares of common stock at $0.10 for a three year period. The Company expects to meet its future obligations by issuance of shares for private placements, exercise of options and warrants, and if and when required, by funds loaned by a shareholder, and advances from directors. The Company has also issued capital stock for certain services rendered to the Company in accordance with S-8 registration filings.  


As at December 31, 2005, the balance of funds loaned by the shareholder amounted to US$33,004 and advances from directors amounted to $nil.

 

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 issuances of shares as well as shareholders and directors to provide funds to maintain its activities, as indicated previously. Once a suitable acquisition is identified, the Company expects to be able to raise further 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

 


On August 22, 2005, the Company filed an 8-K/A stating the following:

 

   (a) Previous independent accountants


(i)Effective March 24, 2005, American Petro-Hunter Inc. ("Registrant"), confirmed with its auditors, Morgan & Company ("Morgan") that the firm would no longer be representing the Registrant as its accountants. As of that date, Registrant was informed that Morgan was voluntarily resigning as the Registrant's accounting firm.


(ii)Morgan last reported on Registrant's financial statements as of April 29, 2004. Registrant's financial statements for the past two years, as audited by Morgan, included an independent auditor's report containing an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

     (iii) The change of independent accountants was ratified by the Board of Directors of Registrant on March 24, 2005.


     (iv) During Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2005, there were no disagreements with Morgan on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Morgan's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.  However, Morgan's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


     (v) During the two most recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2005, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

 

            (a) During the previous two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2005, Morgan did not advise Registrant that the internal controls necessary for the registrant to develop reliable financial statements do not exist.

 



9





            (b)  During the previous two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2005, Morgan did not advise Registrant that any information had come to their attention which had led them to no longer be able to rely on management's representation, or that had made Morgan unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management.

 

            (c)  During the previous two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2005, Morgan did not advise Registrant that the scope of any audit needed to be expanded significantly or that more investigation was necessary.

 

            (d)  During the previous two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2005, Morgan did not advise Registrant that there was any information which the accountants concluded would materially impact the fairness and reliability of either (i) a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or (ii) the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report (including information that, unless resolved to the accountant's satisfaction, would prevent it from rendering an unqualified audit report on those financial statements.

 

     (vi) The Registrant requested that Morgan furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated March 24, 2005, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K.

 

     (b) New independent accountants


     The Registrant engaged Moore Stephens Ellis Foster, Chartered Accountants ("Moore") as its new independent accountants on March 24, 2005. Prior to March 24, 2005 the Registrant had not consulted with Moore regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Registrant by Moore concluding there was an important factor to be considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

 

On September 13, 2005, the Company filed a Form 8-K stating the following:

 

a)        Summary of Change in Accountants

 

American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (the "Company") engaged Ernst & Young LLP (Canada) ("Ernst & Young") to replace Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. ("Ellis Foster"), Chartered Accountants, as the Company's public certifying accountant effective on September 6, 2005 (the "Engagement Date").  Ellis Foster advised the Company that Ellis Foster and Ernst & Young entered a transaction under which certain assets of Ellis Foster were sold to Ernst & Young and the professional staff and partners of Ellis Foster joined Ernst & Young either as employees or partners of Ernst & Young and carried on their practice as members of Ernst & Young.  Ernst & Young will conduct SAS No. 100 reviews of the Company's quarterly financial statements and audit the Company's annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2005.

 

(b)        Resignation of Ellis Foster

 

Ellis Foster audited the Company's financial statements for the Company's most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2004.  Morgan & Company audited the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.  The Company engaged Ernst & Young to act as its principal auditing firm following the resignation of Ellis Foster.  The Company's board or directors approved the change in certifying accountant.

 



10





The change in certifying accountant was not related to any matter concerning the Company, including the Company's selection or application of accounting policies or judgments, the scope of audit, internal controls or integrity of management.

 

During the Company's most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and the subsequent interim period through the Engagement Date, there were no disagreements with Ellis Foster on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ellis Foster would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of their disagreement in their report.

 

During the Company's most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and the subsequent interim period through the Engagement Date, there were no reportable events as such term is defined by paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The report of Ellis Foster accompanying the audit for the Company's most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer or opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

The Company provided Ellis Foster with a copy of the above disclosures, and Ellis Foster has furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter was attached as an Exhibit to the Form 8-K.

 

(c)        Appointment of Ernst & Young

 

On September 6, 2005, the Company's board or directors engaged Ernst & Young as the company's public certifying accountant. As to the Company's two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, the Company did not consult Ernst & Young regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, nor did Ernst & Young provide advice to the Company, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.  Further, during the Company's two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, the Company did not consult Ernst & Young on any matter that was the subject of disagreement or a reportable event.

 

On November 30, 2005, the Company filed a Form 8-K stating the following:

 

  (a) Previous independent accountants


     (i) Effective November 16, 2005, Registrant confirmed with its auditors, Ernst & Young ("Ernst") that the firm would no longer be representing the Registrant as its accountants. As of that date, Registrant informed that Ernst that Registrant would be selecting a new auditor.

   (ii) Ernst has never reported on Registrant's financial statements. Registrant's financial statements for the past two years, as audited by Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. (which was later sold to Ernst) and Morgan & Company, included independent auditor's reports containing an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

     (iii) The change of independent accountants was ratified by the Board of Directors of Registrant on November 16, 2005.

 

     (b) New independent accountants


     The Registrant engaged Morgan & Company ("Morgan") as its new independent accountants on November 16, 2005. Prior to November 16, 2005 (except during the period during which Morgan was the Registrant's auditor), the Registrant had not consulted with Morgan regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified



11





transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Registrant by Moore concluding there was an important factor to be considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Stockholders and Directors of

American Petro-Hunter Inc.

(A Company in the Exploratory Stage)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Petro-Hunter Inc. (a company in the exploratory stage) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and for the period from inception, January 24, 1996 to December 31, 2005.  These 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the period from inception, January 24, 1996 to December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,316,305 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities.  These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMERICAN PETRO-HUNTER INC.

(A Company in the Exploratory Stage)

Notes to Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004



1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS and CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

American Petro-Hunter Inc. was incorporated under corporate charter of the State of Nevada on January 24, 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.

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated losses of $3,316,305 and requires additional funds to maintain its operations. Management's plans in this regard are to raise equity financing as required.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

The Company is investigating the acquisition of natural resource projects with the intent of developing such projects.  During the 2005 fiscal year, the Company investigated a number of potential acquisitions but did not proceed with an acquisition as all were deemed unsuitable for acquisition by the Company.


2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)        Principles of Accounting

 

These financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

(b)        Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.  As at December 31, 2005 and 2004, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash only.

 

(c)         Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation" using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at rates approximating exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions.  Certain translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.

 

(d)        Income Taxes

 

The Company adopted the SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes.".  Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the periods in which those differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  

 

Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in the financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(e)

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(f)         Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is measured as the excess of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. SFAS No.123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company has elected to remain on its current method of accounting as described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.

 

The Company did not grant any stock options during the fiscal years 2005 and 2004.

 

(g)        Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

 

The carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".  For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

 

(h)        Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in financial statements.

 

(i)        Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them 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.

 

The Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.  The adoption of this pronouncement does not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

(j)        Loss Per Share

 

 

 

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the income statement.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities only basic loss per share is presented in the accompanying financial statements.

 

 (k)        Financial Instruments

 

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

 

The Company operates outside of the United States of America and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the United States Dollars.

 

 (l)        Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset.

 

SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement.

2.            SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

            (m)        New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 154, "Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3".  SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle.  It also applies to change required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions.  SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects of the cumulative effect of the change.  The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of error made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect of the Company's results of operations or financial position.

 

In March 2005, SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123R.  The Company will consider SAB 107 during implementation of SFAS No. 123R

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment". SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS 123R, only certain pro-forma disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS 123R shall be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchange of Non-monetary Assets". This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement does have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, as the Company does not have any exchanges of non-monetary assets.

 

In November 2004 FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4", which is the result of the FASB's project to reduce differences between U.S. and international accounting standards. SFAS No. 151 requires idle facility costs, abnormal freight, handling costs, and amounts of wasted materials (spoilage) be treated as current-period costs. Under this concept, if the costs associated with the actual level of spoilage or production defects are greater than the costs associated with the range of normal spoilage or defects, the difference would be charged to current-period expense, not included in inventory costs. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  The adoption of SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

5.         LOSS FROM LOAN GUARANTEE

 

The Company received a demand for payment from Canadian Western Bank ("CWB") pursuant to a guarantee provided by the Company in favor of 714674 Alberta Ltd. (operating as Calgary Chemical) of Cdn$102,000 (US$ 84,858).

 

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 of Calgary Chemical, 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 amount of the guarantee provided by the Company was accrued in the financial statements at December 31, 2004.

As at December 31, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $2,975,000 (2004 - $2,908,000), which expire between 2017 to 2025.

 

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

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% (2004 – 34%) to net loss for the year.  The sources and tax effect of the differences are as follows:

9.        RESTATEMENT

 

The accompanying financial statements have been restated to correct the presentation of other comprehensive income which was included in net loss of prior periods.  The effect of the restatement was to reduce Net Income for 2004 by $9,773 (no effect on per share amounts) and to increase Other Comprehensive Loss by the same amount.  Deficit and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at the beginning of 2004 have been adjusted by for the cumulative effects of the restatements of prior years.
