Such factors include, among others, the following: the volatility of oil and gas prices, the Company's drilling and acquisition results, the Company's ability to replace reserves, the availability of capital resources, the reliance upon estimates of proved reserve, operating hazards and uninsured risks, competition, government regulation, the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and other factors referenced in this Form 10-KSB.
ITEM 1- BUSINESS
General
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), was formed on March 11, 1980, to acquire and enhance mature oil and natural gas field production in the mid-continent and the Rocky Mountain regions. Since 1980, the Company had engaged in oil and gas operations and, in 1986, divested all oil and gas assets and operations. From December 1986, until its reverse acquisition on December 31, 1997, The Company had not engaged in oil and gas operations.
Reverse Acquisition - On December 22, 1997, The Company entered into an Agreement with Bass Petroleum, Inc., a Texas corporation ("BPI"), pursuant to which, on December 31, 1997, the Company acquired from the shareholders of BPI an aggregate of 8,655,625 shares of capital stock of BPI, in exchange for the issuance of 4,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction was treated, for accounting purposes, as an acquisition of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation by Bass Petroleum, Inc. On December 31,1997, the Company changed its name from Energy Production Company to FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation.
Business Strategy
The Company's business strategy is to continue to expand its reserve base and increase production and cash flow through the acquisition of producing oil and gas properties. Such acquisitions will be based on an analysis of the properties' current cash flow and the Company's ability to profit from the acquisition. The Company's ideal acquisition will include not only oil and gas production, but also leasehold and other working interest in exploration areas.
The Company will also seek to identify promising areas for the exploration of oil and gas through the use of outside consultants and the expertise of the Company. This identification will include collecting and analyzing geological and geophysical data for exploration areas. Once promising properties are identified, the Company will attempt to acquire the properties either for drilling oil and natural gas wells, using independent contractors for drilling operations, or for sale to third parties.
The Company recognizes that the ability to implement its business strategies is largely dependent on the ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund future acquisition, exploration, drilling and development activities. The Company's capital resources are discussed more thoroughly in Part II, Item 6, in Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Operations
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had varying ownership interest in 338 gross productive wells (89.77 net) located in 3 states. The Company operates 59 of the 338 wells; the other wells are operated by independent operators under contracts that are standard in the industry. It is a primary objective of the Company to operate most of the oil and gas properties in which it has an economic interest. The Company believes, with the responsibility and authority as operator, it is in a better position to control cost, safety, and timeliness of work as well as other critical factors affecting the economics of a well.
Market for Oil and Gas
The demand for oil and gas is dependent upon a number of factors, including the availability of other domestic production, crude oil imports, the proximity and size of oil and gas pipelines in general, other transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, and general fluctuations in the supply and demand for oil and gas. The Company intends to sell all of its production to traditional industry purchasers, such as pipeline and crude oil companies, who have facilities to transport the oil and gas from the wellsite.
Competition
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive in all aspects. The Company will be competing with major oil companies, numerous independent oil and gas producers, individual proprietors, and investment programs. Many of these competitors possess financial and personnel resources substantially in excess of those which are available to the Company and may, therefore, be able to pay greater amounts for desirable leases and define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of potential producing prospects that the Company's own resources permit. The Company's ability to generate resources will depend not only on its ability to develop existing properties but also on its ability to identify and acquire proven and unproven acreage and prospects for further exploration.
Environmental Matters and Government Regulations
The Company's operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Such matters have not had a material effect on operations of the Company to date, but the Company cannot predict whether such matters will have any material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position in the future.
The production and sale of crude oil and natural gas are currently subject to extensive regulations of both federal and state authorities. At the federal level, there are price regulations, windfall profits tax, and income tax laws. At the state level, there are severance taxes, proration of production, spacing of wells, prevention and clean-up of pollution and permits to drill and produce oil and gas. Although compliance with their laws and regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, the Company cannot predict whether its future operations will be adversely effected thereby.
Operational Hazards and Insurance
The Company's operations are subject to the usual hazards incident to the drilling and production of oil and gas, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations.
The Company maintains insurance of various types to cover its operations. The Company's insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with the drilling and production of oil and gas. In particular, coverage is not obtainable for certain types of environmental hazards. The occurrence of a significant adverse event, the risks of which are not fully covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates it considers reasonable.
Administration
Office Facilities- The office space for the Company's executive offices at 1703 Edelweiss Drive, Cedar Park, Texas 78613, is currently provided by the majority shareholder at a cost of $2,000 per month as of December 31, 2003.
Employees- As of March 31, 2004, the Company had 4 employees, the Company considers its relationship with its employees satisfactory.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements, and respective notes thereto, included elsewhere herein. The information below should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of the management of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation.
Overview
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation derives its revenues from its operating activities including sales of oil and gas and operating oil and gas properties. The Company's capital for investment in producing oil and gas properties has been provided by cash flow from operating activities and from bank financing. The Company categorizes its operating expenses into the categories of production expenses and other expenses.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2003 to Year Ended December 31, 2002
Results of Operation
Revenues increased 1% or $27,075 to $2,429,375 for the year ended December 31, 2003, from the comparable 2002 period. Oil production volumes decreased by 28% at the same time the average price per barrel increased 31% during 2003 to $29.69 from the comparable 2002 period average price of $22.62 per barrel. Also in 2003, the gas production volume increased by 4% while the average price per Mcf was $3.13, an increase of 56% from the 2002 comparable period. The decreases in production volumes were primarily due to the sale of the Ona West oil and gas property in Oklahoma.

Production expenses decreased 16% or $207,113 to $1,103,496 for the year ended December 31, 2003, from the comparable 2002 period. The decrease was due to cost associated with Oklahoma field production, with increases in workover expense and remedial repairs incurred in 2002 as compared to 2003. The company incurred exploration expense of $86,948 as a result of drilling two dry holes during the 2003 period. Depletion and depreciation expense decreased 10% or $47,689 to $466,969 for the year ended December 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period. The decrease in depletion and depreciation was due to decreased production volume offset by oil and gas property cost. General and administrative overhead cost decreased 42% or $320,674 to $451,736 for the 2003 period verses the comparable 2002 period this was due primarily to a decrease in consulting fees, and bonuses.
Net other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003, was $50,049 compared to net other expenses of $18,344 for 2002. This increase was primarily due to gain on sale of properties in 2001 offset by decreases in interest expense and commodity derivative losses in 2003.
The Company's net income increased by $304,922 to $156,895 for the year ended December 31, 2003, from the comparable 2002 period. The increase in net income was primarily due to decreased operating and general and administrative expenses as previously discussed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operating activities was $418,137 for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $796,635 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to decreases in accrued expenses relating to payments on accounts payable in 2003.
Cash flow used by investing activities was $344,003 in the period ended December 31, 2003, compared to $224,216 in cash flow provided by investing activities for December 31, 2002. This is primarily due to the proceeds from sale of oil and gas properties in 2002, for which there was no comparable transaction in the current year. Cash flow provided by financing activities was $918,506 for the period ended December 31, 2003, compared to $969,668 in cash flow used by financing activities for the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to increases in advances of long-term debt, net of repayment.
Capital Requirements
Subsequent to year end, the Company purchased an approximate 87.5% working interest representing a 73.5% to 87.5% net revenue interest in oil and gas properties located in the Lusk Field in Lea County, New Mexico from PXP Gulf Coast, Inc. The acquisition was accomplished through an assignment of mineral leases covering the interests. The Company paid $850,000 cash consideration for the lease rights and related equipment. The funds for the acquisition were drawn from the Company's existing credit facility. Closing of the acquisition took place on March 11, 2004, with the effective date being April 1, 2004. The Company plans to hold the interests for production and further development.
Management believes the Company will be able to meet its current operating needs through internally generated cash from operations. Management believes that oil and gas property investing activities in 2004 can be financed through cash on hand, cash from operating activities, and bank borrowing. The Company anticipates continued investments in proven oil and gas properties in 2004. If bank credit is not available, the Company may not be able to continue to invest in strategic oil and gas properties. The Company cannot predict how oil and gas prices will fluctuate during 2004 and what effect they will ultimately have on the Company, but Management believes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to service its bank debt and provide for maintaining current production of its oil and gas properties. The Company had no significant commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 2003. The timing of most capital expenditures for new operations is relatively discretionary. Therefore, the Company can plan expenditures to coincide with available funds in order to minimize business risks.
Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7. We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Successful Efforts Method of Accounting
We account for our exploration and development activities utilizing the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties.
The application of the successful efforts method of accounting requires managerial judgment to determine the proper classification of wells designated as developmental or exploratory which will ultimately determine the proper accounting treatment of the costs incurred. The results from a drilling operation can take considerable time to analyze and the determination that commercial reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and industry experience. Wells may be completed that are assumed to be productive and actually deliver oil and gas in quantities insufficient to be economic, which may result in the abandonment of the wells at a later date. The evaluation of oil and gas leasehold acquisition costs requires managerial judgment to estimate the fair value of these costs with reference to drilling activity in a given area.
The successful efforts method of accounting can have a significant impact on the operational results reported when we enter a new exploratory area in hopes of finding an oil and gas field that will be the focus of future developmental drilling activity. The initial exploratory wells may be unsuccessful and will be expensed. Seismic costs can be substantial which will result in additional exploration expenses when incurred.
Reserve Estimates
Estimates of oil and gas reserves, by necessity, are projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies and assumptions governing future oil and gas prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and workover costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. The future drilling costs associated with reserves assigned to proved undeveloped locations may ultimately increase to an extent that these reserves may be later determined to be uneconomic. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of oil and gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected therefrom may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of our oil and gas properties and/or the rate of depletion of the oil and gas properties. Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.
Impairment of Developed Oil and Gas Properties
We review our oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value. We estimate the expected future cash flows of our oil and gas properties and compare such future cash flows to the carrying amount of our oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to their fair value. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, commodity pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures, and a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with realizing the expected cash flows projected. There were no impairments of developed oil and gas properties during 2002 and 2003.
Reporting Requirements
Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charges with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the SEC and the NASDAQ, have recently issued new requirements and regulations and are currently developing additional regulations and requirements in response to recent laws, enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002. As certain rules are not yet finalized, we do not know the level of resources we will have to commit in order to be in compliance. Our compliance with current and proposed rules, such as Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, is likely to require the commitment of significant managerial resources. We are currently reviewing our internal control systems, processes and procedures to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 404. While we expect that this review will show that we are in compliance, there can be no assurance that such a review will not result in the identification of significant control deficiencies or that our auditors will be able to attest as to the adequacy of our internal controls.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On August 15, 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations ("Statement 143"). Initiated in 1994 as a project to account for the costs of nuclear decommissioning, the FASB expanded the scope to include similar closure or removal-type costs in other industries that are incurred at any time during the life of an asset. That standard requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it was incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We adopted Statement 143 on January 1, 2003. Upon adoption of Statement 143, we recorded an increase to Property and Equipment and Asset Retirement Obligations of approximately $364,144 and $471,909, respectively, as a result of the company separately accounting for salvage values and recording the estimated fair value of its plugging and abandonment obligation on the balance sheet, a reduction of accumulated depletion due to the effect of utilizing well equipment salvage value in the calculation of $91,159 and a cumulative effect on change in accounting principle of $16,606.
In April 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, A mendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("Statement 149"). Statement 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . Statement 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position at December 31, 2003.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 , Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 , which was revised and superceded by FASB Interpretation No. 46R in December 2003 ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R requires the consolidation of certain variable interest entities, as defined. FIN 46R is effective immediately for special purpose entities and variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003, and must be applied to other variable interest entities no later than December 31, 2004. The Company believes it has no such variable interest entities and as a result FIN 46R will have no impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION
1.
Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesOrganization and Nature of Operations
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, operation and development of oil and gas properties, which are located in Oklahoma, South-Central Texas and Wyoming as of December 31, 2003.
Consolidation Policy
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bass Petroleum, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short term investments
Short term investments consist entirely of investments in two mutual funds purchased in 2003, and classified as trading. Dividend and interest income are recognized when a received, and are automatically reinvested in the fun.
Oil and Gas Producing Operations
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities. Costs incurred by the Company related to the acquisition of oil and gas properties and the cost of drilling successful wells are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment and lease and well operating costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses arising from sales of properties are included in income. Unproved properties are assessed periodically for possible impairment. The Company had no unproved properties as of December 31, 2003.
Capitalized amounts attributable to proved oil and gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and gas producing property and related equipment was $426,969 and $502,658 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Capitalized costs are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows.
Joint Interest Billings Receivable and Oil and Gas Revenue Payable
Joint interest billings receivable represent amounts receivable for lease operating expenses and other costs due from third party working interest owners in the wells that the Company operates. The receivable is recognized when the cost is incurred and the related payable and the Company's share of the cost is recorded.
Oil and gas revenues payable represents amounts due to third party revenue interest owners for their share of oil and gas revenue collected on their behalf by the Company. The payable is recorded when the Company recognizes oil and gas sales and records the related oil and gas sales receivable.
The Company has a $65,184 joint interest billing receivable from a company in receivership. The receiver has indicated he intends to settle the amount due by conveying oil and gas properties to the Company. This settlement has not yet been approved by the bankruptcy court. The Company anticipates that it will receive the properties, and that the value of the properties will be adequate to recover the amount due; however if the settlement is not approved, the Company may be unable to recover the receivable and further write-downs of the receivable balance may be necessary. Based on the above facts, the Company has classified the receivable as long-term.
Derivative Activity
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . Under SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the derivative's fair value are currently recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the hedge is effective. For qualifying fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is offset by related results of the hedged item in the income statement. Gains and losses on hedging instruments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to oil and natural gas sales revenue in the period that the related production is delivered. Derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as derivative assets and liabilities at market value in the consolidated balance sheet, and the associated unrealized gains and losses are recorded as current expense or income in the consolidated statement of operations. While such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, management believes these contracts can be utilized as an effective component of commodity price risk management activities.
There were no open positions at December 31, 2002 or 2003. For 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded realized losses on derivative transactions of $5,184 and $37,869, respectively.
Other Property
Other assets classified as property and equipment are primarily office furniture and equipment and vehicles, which are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five to seven years. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of assets is included in income in the period of disposition. Depreciation expense for other property and equipment was $40,000 and $12,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
On August 15, 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations ("Statement 143"). Initiated in 1994 as a project to account for the costs of nuclear decommissioning, the FASB expanded the scope to include similar closure or removal-type costs in other industries that are incurred at any time during the life of an asset. That standard requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it was incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We adopted Statement 143 on January 1, 2003. Upon adoption of Statement 143, we recorded an increase to Property and Equipment and Asset Retirement Obligations of approximately $364,144 and $471,909, respectively, as a result of the company separately accounting for salvage values and recording the estimated fair value of its plugging and abandonment obligation on the balance sheet, a reduction of accumulated depletion due to the effect of utilizing well equipment salvage value in the calculation of $91,159 and a cumulative effect on change in accounting principle of $16,606.
The following tables describe on a pro forma basis our asset retirement liability and the effect on net income and earnings per share as if FAS 143 had been adopted on January 1, 2002.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due, if any, plus net deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets include recognition of operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes. Valuation allowances are recognized to limit recognition of deferred tax assets where appropriate. Such allowances may be reversed when circumstances provide evidence that the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, ("Statement 148"). Statement 148 provides alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting proscribed by FASB Statement No. 123, A ccounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("Statement 123"). Statement 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of Statement 123 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, Interim Financial Reporting , to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. Statement 148 does not require companies to account for employee stock options under the fair value method. We did not adopt the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation; however, we have adopted the disclosure provision of Statement 148. If the Company had followed the fair value model for expensing stock options, net income (loss) would have been adjusted as per the following pro forma amounts:

Use of Estimates and Certain Significant Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and gas reserves, which as described above may affect the amount at which oil and gas properties are recorded. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is a significant estimate and is based on management's estimates of uncollectible receivables. It is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term and the revisions could be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, A mendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("Statement 149"). Statement 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . Statement 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position at December 31, 2003.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 , Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 , which was revised and superceded by FASB Interpretation No. 46R in December 2003 ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R requires the consolidation of certain variable interest entities, as defined. FIN 46R is effective immediately for special purpose entities and variable interest entities created after December 31, 2003, and must be applied to other variable interest entities no later than December 31, 2004. The Company believes it has no such variable interest entities and as a result FIN 46R will have no impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
2. Acquisition and Disposition of Oil and Gas Properties
In October 2001, the Company acquired interest in certain producing properties in Oklahoma for consideration of $733,464. The Company produced the property and recorded depletion expense of $119,613 through June 2002. The acquisition was financed with an extension to the Company's existing borrowing facility. In June 2002, when the net book value of the property was $613,851, the Company sold this interest for cash consideration of $710,000, realizing a gain on the sale of $96,149.
3.
Related Party TransactionsThe Company leases office space from its majority stockholder. Rent expense for this lease was $24,000 and $18,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
4. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following:
2003 |

At December 31, 2003, the Company had available net operating loss ("NOL") and depletion carryforwards totaling approximately $509,000, which may be used to reduce future taxable income and expire from 2019 through 2022.
6. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share takes common stock equivalents (such as options and warrants) into consideration. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 1,445,916 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2002 (19,466 dilutive potential common shares) were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to the Company's net loss. Outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 1,225,916 shares have been excluded from the December 31, 2003 calculation of earnings per share as their effect would be
anti-dilutive.

Stockholders' EquityDuring 1999, the Company closed a private placement of its common stock and redeemable common stock purchase warrants. The Company sold 1,466,666 equity units for $0.75 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Class A common stock purchase warrant with an exercise price of $1.25. In 2001 and 2000, warrants representing 357,350 and 433,400 shares of common stock were exercised, netting proceeds of $424,905 and $514,706 after approximately $21,783 and $27,044 of commissions, respectively. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, warrants for the purchase of 0 and 675,916 common shares, respectively, remain outstanding. No warrants were exercised in 2002 or 2003.
In June 2000, the Company issued 160,000 shares of common stock to a consultant in lieu of cash for services. The shares were recorded at the quoted market value of the stock at the time of the transaction of $260,000. The amount was being amortized over the five-year life of the contract; however, in 2002 the contract was terminated, and thus the remaining $130,000 was charged to expense.
In November 2002, the Company purchased 50,000 shares of its stock for $17,500 in a privately negotiated transaction. The Company recorded the stock as treasury stock, but intends to ultimately retire the shares.
9.
Environmental IssuesThe Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental clean up of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and gas wells and the operation thereof. In the Company's acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated. Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental clean up or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any liability which the Company may have, as it relates to any environmental clean up, restoration or the violation of any rules or regulations relating thereto.
10. Commitments
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had a $10,000 open letter of credit in favor of the State of Wyoming as a plugging bond. The letter of credit is collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the same amount.
In 2001, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with its president and CEO. The agreement provides for his retention, if the Company should have a change in control, at set percentages of his then salary and bonus for a term of at least three years.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments are cash, accounts receivable and payable and long-term debt. Management believes the fair values of these instruments, with the exception of the long-term debt, approximate the carrying values, due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Management believes the fair value of long-term debt also reasonably approximates its carrying value, based on expected cash flows and interest rates.
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of receivables. The receivables are primarily from companies in the oil and gas business or from individual oil and gas investors. These parties are primarily located in the Southwestern region of the United States. The Company does not ordinarily require collateral, but in the case of receivables for joint operations, the Company often has the ability to offset amounts due against the participant's share of production from the related property. The Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2003 and 2002 is adequate.
The Company had the following concentrations in volume of oil and gas sales revenue by customer as a percentage of total oil and gas revenue:

Additionally, the six customers above accounted for a total of 83% and 89% of accrued oil and gas sales as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
12.
Subsequent EventSubsequent to year end, the Company purchased an approximate 87.5% working interest representing a 73.5% to 87.5% net revenue interest in oil and gas properties located in the Lusk Field in Lea County, New Mexico from PXP Gulf Coast, Inc. The acquisition was accomplished through an assignment of mineral leases covering the interests. The Company paid $850,000 cash consideration for the lease rights and related equipment. The funds for the acquisition were drawn from the Company's existing credit facility. Closing of the acquisition took place on March 11, 2004, with the effective date being April 1, 2004. The Company plans to hold the interests for production and further development.

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, condensate and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. The above estimated net interests in proved reserves are based upon subjective engineering judgments and may be affected by the limitations inherent in such estimation. The process of estimating reserves is subject to continual revision as additional information becomes available as a result of drilling, testing, reservoir studies and production history. There can be no assurance that such estimates will not be materially revised in subsequent periods.
14.
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows (Unaudited)The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at December 31, 2003 and 2002, relating to proved oil and gas reserves is set forth below. The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and, as such, do not necessarily reflect the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves nor their present worth. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these estimates are the basis for the valuation process.

ITEM 8A.
a) |
Ray Reaves, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation established and is currently maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as such terms are defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") for the Company. The disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to him as soon as it is known by others within the Company. As of the end of the fiscal year, Mr. Reaves conducted an update and a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and the Company's internal control over fiscal reporting. It is Mr. Reaves' opinion based upon the evaluation completed by March 31, 2004, that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting currently being utilized by the Company are sufficiently effective to ensure that any material information relating to the Company would become known to him within a reasonable time. |
b) |
Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. During the most recently completed fiscal year, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. |

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors
a. Meetings of the Board of Directors
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, two meetings of the Board of Directors were held, including regularly scheduled and special meetings, each of which were attended by all of the Directors. Outside Directors receive $500 per meeting and were reimbursed their expenses associated with attendance at such meetings or otherwise incurred in connection with the discharge of their duties as a Director. Directors received a grant of options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at the date of their appointment and could receive an additional grant of options to purchase shares of common stock, as long as they continue to serve as directors.
b. Committees
The board appoints committees to help carry out its duties. In particular, board committee work on key issues in greater detail than would be possible at full board meetings. Each committee reviews the result of its meetings with the full board.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the board had a standing audit committee and a standing compensation committee, but did not have a standing nomination committee or any other standing committees. The Board of Directors as a whole served the functions of a nomination committee.
Audit Committee
The audit committee was composed of the following directors:
Roger Bryant, Chairman
Mel Slater
Bob Wonish
The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Slater, Wonish and Bryant are "independent" within the meaning of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s listing standards. For this purpose, an audit committee member is deemed to be independent if he does not possess any vested interests related to those of management and does not have any financial, family or other material personal ties to management.
The Board of Directors has determined that none of the members of the audit committee qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 401(e)(2) of Regulation SB. The audit committee lacks an audit committee financial expert due principally to its historical lack of funds necessary to compensate such a person. The Board of Directors intends to identify and appoint a person who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert during the current fiscal year.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 the audit committee had one meeting. The committee is responsible for accounting and internal control matters. The audit committee:
- |
reviews with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors policies and procedures with respect to internal controls; |
|
- |
reviews significant accounting matters; |
|
- |
approves any significant changes in accounting principles of financial reporting practices; |
|
- |
reviews independent auditor services; and |
|
- |
recommends to the board of directors the firm of independent auditors to audit our consolidated financial statements. |
In addition to its regular activities, the committee is available to meet with the independent accountants, controller or internal auditor whenever a special situation arises.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has adopted a written charter, which has been previously filed with the Commission.
Auditor Compensation
The following table details aggregate fees billed for fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 by Hein + Associates LLP for:
* |

Neither the Board of Directors nor the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of the services covered by the caption "Financial Information System Design and Implementation" or "Other" in the above table is compatible with Hein & Associates LLP's independence.
Compensation Advisory Committee
The compensation advisory committee is currently composed of the following directors:
Roger Bryant
Robert Manogue
Mel Slater
The compensation advisory committee did not meet during fiscal 2003. The compensation advisory committee:
- |
recommends to the board of directors the compensation and cash bonus opportunities based on the achievement of objectives set by the compensation advisory committee with respect to our chairman of the board and president, our chief executive officer and the other executive officers; |
|
- |
administers our compensation plans for the same executives; |
|
- |
determines equity compensation for all employees; |
|
- |
reviews and approves the cash compensation and bonus objectives for the executive officers; and |
|
- |
reviews various matters relating to employee compensation and benefits. |
Nomination Process
The Board of Directors has not appointed a standing nomination committee and does not intend to do so during the current year. The process of determining director nominees has been addressed by the board as a whole, which consists of four members. The board has not adopted a charter to govern the director nomination process.
Of the currently serving four directors, Messrs. Bryant, Slater and Wonish would each be deemed to be independent within the meaning of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s listing standards. For this purpose, a director is deemed to be independent if he does not possess any vested interests related to those of management and does not have any financial, family or other material personal ties to management.
The board of directors has not adopted a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders, since to date the board has not received from any security holder a director nominee recommendation. The board of directors will consider candidates recommended by security holders in the future. Security holders wishing to recommended a director nominee for consideration should contact Mr. Ray Reaves, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, at the Company's principal executive offices located in Cedar Park, Texas and provide to Mr. Reaves, in writing, the recommended director nominee's professional resume covering all activities during the past five years, the information required by Item 401 of Regulation SB, and a statement of the reasons why the security holder is making the recommendation. Such recommendation must be received by the Company before December 31, 2004.
The board of directors believes that any director nominee must possess significant experience in business and/or financial matters as well as a particular interest in the Company's activities.
All director nominees identified in this proxy statement were recommended by our President and Chief Financial Officer and unanimously approved by the board of directors.
Shareholder Communications
Any shareholder of the Company wishing to communicate to the board of directors may do so by sending written communication to the board of directors to the attention of Mr. Ray Reaves, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, at the principal executive offices of the Company. The board of directors will consider any such written communication at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
Any transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders, or other affiliates have been and will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties on an arms-length basis and will be approved by a majority of the Company's independent, outside disinterested directors.
Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all of our directors, officers and employees during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics can be found at our website address: http://www.fppcorp.com. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Such request should be made in writing and addressed to Investor Relations, FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation, 1703 Edelweiss Drive, Cedar Park, Texas 78613. Further, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is being filed herewith as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of the Common Stock (collectively, "Reporting Persons") to file initial reports of ownership and changes of ownership of the Common Stock with the SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market. Reporting Persons are required to furnish the Company with copies of all forms that they file under Section 16(a). Based solely upon information provided to the Company from Reporting Persons, during the two years ended December 31, 2003, Mr. Manogue failed to file reports covering multiple transactions in a timely fashion. Other than the foregoing, the Company is not aware of any failure on the part of any Reporting Persons to timely file reports required pursuant to Section 16(a).
ITEM 10 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following tables and discussion set forth information with respect to all plan and non-plan compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and the Company's four (4) most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO, for all services rendered in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries for each of the Company's last three (3) completed fiscal years; provided, however, that no disclosure has been made for any executive officer, other than the CEO, whose total annual salary and bonus does not exceed $100,000.
