CROFF ENTERPRISES, INC.
ABOUT CROFF ENTERPRISES
Croff Enterprises, Inc. is
engaged in the business of oil and gas exploration and production, primarily
through ownership of perpetual mineral interests and acquisition of producing
oil and gas
leases. The Company's principal activity is oil and gas production from
non-operated properties. The Company also acquires, owns, and sells producing
and non-producing leases and perpetual mineral interests. Croff participates as
a working interest owner in approximately 50 wells or units of several wells.
Croff holds small royalty interests in approximately 200 wells.
Croff Enterprises, Inc. was
founded as Croff Mining Company in 1907. It changed its name to Croff Oil
Company in 1952, and in 1996 it changed its name to Croff Enterprises, Inc. The
Company, however, continues to operate its oil and natural gas properties as
Croff Oil Company. The Company offices are located in downtown Denver at 621
17th Street, Suite 830, Denver, Colorado
80293.
Croff
has been in business for nearly 100 years. Formed originally to hold placer
mining claims in Utah, its stock was traded on the Salt Lake Stock Exchange for
many years until that Stock Exchange was closed in the early 1980s. The Company
was one of the earliest companies to register with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, once the Securities and Exchange Commission was created in 1933, and
has been a fully reporting public company for seven decades. Croff may be the
smallest, profitable, fully reporting public Company in the U.S. We pride
ourselves on keeping the overhead of the Company low and utilizing cash flow to
grow. The present management and Board of Director's first year of managing the
Company was 1986. You can find out more about us in the Corporate Profile
section of this website.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Croff’s
business strategy is focused on targeting opportunities that are of lower risk
with the potential for stable cash flow and long asset life while seeking to
keep operating costs low. The Company over the last four years acquired
three wells in Michigan, one well in Montana, six wells in Oklahoma and eight
wells in Texas. The Company continues to actively explore oil and natural gas
properties that may fit into our overall business strategy. The Company’s plans
for ongoing development, acquisition and exploration expenditures, and possible
equity repurchases over and beyond the Company’s operating cash flows will
depend entirely on the Company’s ability to secure acceptable financing.
At December 31, 2003, the
Company had 1,036,039 thousand cubic feet equivalent
(Mcfe) of proved reserves having a pretax present value (PV10%) of $1,464,000
based on non-escalated prices and costs. The valuation reflected average
wellhead prices of $4.03 per Mcf and $30.14 per barrel at year-end. During
2003, the quantity of the Company’s reserves increased 19%. The growth was
attributable to acquisitions which increased reserves by 34,036 barrels of oil
and 91,496 Mcf of natural gas and increased the pretax present value (PV10%) by
approximately $450,000. In addition, the value of the Company’s proved reserves
increased as a result of higher prices at December 31, 2003 as compared to
December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2003, approximately 51% of the Company
reserves were natural gas. Oil and natural gas equivalents are based on 6 Mcf
of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil.
The Company has acquired
rights in certain oil and gas properties for a proposed drilling program to
develop oil and natural gas producing trends in the Wilcox, Edwards and
Georgetown in south Texas, titled the “2004 Yorktown Re-entry Program”. The
2004 Yorktown Re-entry Program currently contains eleven re-entry prospects on
1,100 leased acres. The 2004Yorktown Re-entry Program primarily targets gas
zones in the Wilcox bypassed in original wells drilled in the 1950’s and 1960’s
to the Wilcox and Edwards. Some of these wells were drilled to the Edwards
Limestone and were new field discoverie s.
Extensive evaluation of these wells using petrophysical logs, company records
and public data have revealed that many zones in the eleven previously drilled
wells either tested gas or calculated as productive. The wells were not
completed due to a number of reasons including, poor gas price, lack of
gathering and pipeline infrastructure, prohibitive cost of completion, and lack
of fracture stimulate technology. These factors resulted in either the
premature abandonment of uneconomic wells or the plugging of the well as a dry
hole. The Company is actively seeking financing for this program.
Today gas and oil prices
are at or near record levels and all indications are suggesting that prices will
remain high for some time. In today’s environment these by-passed opportunities
are once again economically attractive. Modern frac technology specialized to
specific reservoir situations is readily available and cost effective.
The Company is operated by
a five-member Board of Directors.
The Company's
financial results are reported each quarter and annually following an audit. The
Company is a fully reported public company and its results can be found on

INVESTOR RESOURCES
Croff has two classes of
shares currently issued. The Company is now establishing a Clearinghouse that
will be continuously available on this website. Croff Common Shares represent
the non-oil and gas assets of the Company. Croff's Preferred B Shares represent
Croff Oil Company or the oil and natural gas assets of the Company. Currently,
Croff is seeking to grow the Company outside of oil and natural gas production
by merging with a private company seeking access to the public market. The
Preferred B Shares are not registered, but were created by the Company to allow
existing shareholders to retain the perpetual mineral interests and other oil
and natural gas leases in the event of a merger of the parent company. In order
to allow shareholders to sell the Preferred B Shares, which are not registered,
and do not have a CUSIP number, the Company has been conducting a clearinghouse
each year to allow buyers and sellers to trade their shares. The Company
historically conducted this Clearinghouse by mail, at no cost to buyers or
sellers, in order to provide liquidity in the Preferred B Shares.
This
website enables any holder of Croff Common Stock or Preferred B Shares to buy or
sell their shares online through the Clearinghouse. The shareholder
Clearinghouse is available through the online trading section of the Croff
website. This is a fully disclosed site, which requires any buyer and/or seller
to fully disclose who they are. All transactions will close through the
Company's offices, so Croff will continue to act as the clearinghouse for the
shares. The Company acts as its own transfer agent for the Preferred B Shares,
and utilizes ComputerShare Investor Services, Inc. at 12039 West Alameda
Parkway, Suite Z-2, Lakewood, Colorado 80228, as its transfer agent for the
common shares. Common Shares may be traded over the counter, through a broker,
as well as on this site.
