Form 10-Q for MINHAS ENERGY CONSULTANTS, INC.


30-Jul-2008

Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Minhas Energy Consultants, Inc. (referred to as "Minhas", "us", "we" and "our") was incorporated on May 11, 2006, in the State of Nevada. Minhas's principal executive offices are located at Suite 110, 1915 - 27 Avenue NE Calgary Alberta T2E 7E4. Our telephone number is (403) 735-5009. We are a development stage company with no revenue and limited operations to date. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues in the future, or that we will be able to operate profitably in the future, if at all. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal year since inception of our operations. Since becoming incorporated, we have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor have we been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. Our company has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.

Subsequent to our incorporation, we focused our operations on providing professional engineering consulting services to the oil and gas industry, specifically on reservoir and petroleum engineering and engineering services related to the procurement and construction of infrastructure for the production and distribution of oil and gas. We have not been successful in obtaining any contracts and we now have minimal cash for our operations.

During the second quarter, our management has been analyzing the various alternatives available to our company to ensure our survival and to preserve our shareholder's investment in our common shares. This analysis has included sourcing additional forms of financing to continue our business as is, or mergers and/or acquisitions which would likely involve a change of business. At this stage in our operations, we believe either course is acceptable, as our operations have not been profitable and our future prospects for our business are not good without further significant financing.

We are focusing our preliminary merger/acquisition analysis on potential business opportunities within the oil and gas industry. These may be established business entities or assets such as petroleum leases for which we will have to explore for hydrocarbons. In certain instances, a target may wish to become a subsidiary of our company or may wish to contribute assets to our company or a joint venture rather than merge. We anticipate that any new acquisition or business opportunity acquired by our company will require additional financing. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue our plan of operation. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.

In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition or opportunity, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. Upon the consummation of a transaction, it is likely that our present management will no longer be in control of our company and our existing business will close down. In addition, it is likely that our officers and directors will, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by one or more new officers and directors.

We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and without certainty of success. Business opportunities may be available at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

We may seek a business opportunity with entities who have recently commenced operations, or entities who wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand business development activities. We may acquire assets and establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.

Mr. M. Minhas is undertaking the search for and analysis of new business opportunities, who is not a professional business analyst. In seeking or analyzing prospective business opportunities, Mr. Minhas may utilize the services of outside consultants or advisors.

At this stage, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to locate compatible business opportunities, what additional financing we will require to complete a combination or merger with another business opportunity, or whether the opportunity's operations will be profitable.

As of the date hereof, we have not been successful in raising the funding necessary to proceed with our business plan for our existing business. Historically, we have been able to raise a limited amount of capital through private placements of our equity stock, but we are uncertain about our continued ability to raise funds privately. Further, we believe that our company may have more difficulties raising capital for our existing business than for a new business opportunity. We have held preliminary negotiations with prospective business entities but have not entered into any formal written agreements for a business combination or opportunity. If any such agreement is reached, we intend to disclose such an agreement by filing a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue our business or alternatively, complete a merger or acquisition, our shareholders will lose some or all of their investment and our business will likely fail.

If we change our business, we will face the following risks, which are in addition to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10K for December 31, 2007, which is incorporated for reference to this quarterly report.

WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING. INADEQUATE FINANCING MAY IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN THE MARKETPLACE WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE DISSOLUTION OF OUR COMPANY.

We require additional financing to complete a suitable merger or combination with a business opportunity, or acquisition of assets such as exploration leases. Further, we anticipate that we will not have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations for the next twelve months. We would likely secure any additional financing necessary through a private placement of our common shares.

There can be no assurance that, if required, any such financing will be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon terms and conditions acceptable to us could have a materially adverse effect upon our company. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available or available on terms satisfactory to us. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing or future shareholders is likely to result. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of any business opportunity that we acquire. Inadequate funding could also impair our ability to compete in the marketplace, which may result in the dissolution of our company.

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND IF WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN CONTINUING TO GROW OUR BUSINESS, THEN WE MAY HAVE TO SCALE BACK OR EVEN CEASE OUR ONGOING BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies seeking to acquire or establish a new business opportunity. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to identify, secure and complete an acquisition of a suitable business opportunity.

We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, our operating results are dependent to a large degree upon factors outside of our control. There are no assurances that we will be successful in addressing these risks, and failure to do so may adversely affect our business.

It is unlikely that we will generate any or significant revenues while we seek a suitable business opportunity. Our short and long-term prospects depend upon our ability to select and secure a suitable business opportunity. In order for us to make a profit, we will need to successfully acquire a new business opportunity

in order to generate revenues in an amount sufficient to cover any and all future costs and expenses in connection with any such business opportunity. Even if we become profitable, we may not sustain or increase our profits on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

SCARCITY OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS, PLACE OUR COMPANY AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE IN IDENTIFYING POSSIBLE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING A BUSINESS COMBINATION.

We are, and will continue to be, an insignificant participant amongst numerous other companies seeking a suitable business opportunity or business combination. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are actively seeking suitable business opportunities or business combinations, which may also be desirable target candidates for us. Virtually all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do. We are, consequently, at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination or acquisition. We will also compete with numerous other small public companies seeking suitable business opportunities or business combinations.

THE SUCCESS OF A POTENTIAL MERGER OR COMBINATION WILL DEPEND TO A GREAT EXTENT ON THE OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT OF ANY IDENTIFIED BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

The ultimate success of our business will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of any identified business opportunity. In the event that we complete a business combination or otherwise acquire a business opportunity, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm, together with a number of other factors beyond our control.

We have no arrangement, agreement, or understanding with respect to acquiring a business opportunity or engaging in a business combination with any private entity. Accordingly, we may enter into a business combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.

Although we have entered into preliminary negotiations with prospective business entities, we have not entered into any formal written agreements for a business combination or opportunity. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or conclude a business combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate the acquisition of a business opportunity or a business combination on terms favorable to us. We have not established a specific length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require a target business opportunity to have achieved, and without which we would not consider a business combination in any form with such business opportunity. Accordingly, we may enter into a business combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.

PROBABLE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT MAY REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE PARTICIPATION OF OUR PRESENT OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS IN THE FUTURE AFFAIRS OF OUR COMPANY.

A business combination or acquisition of a business opportunity involving the issuance of our common shares may result in new or incoming shareholders obtaining a controlling interest in our company. Any such business combination or acquisition of a business opportunity may require management of our company to sell or transfer all or a portion of the common shares in the capital of our company that they hold or resign as members of our Board of Directors. The resulting change in our control could result in removal of one or more of our present officers and directors, and a corresponding reduction in, or elimination of, their participation in the future affairs of our company.

A FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY COULD HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.

Our ability to achieve any growth upon the acquisition of a suitable business opportunity or business combination will be dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, our ability to hire, train and assimilate management and other employees and the adequacy of our financial resources. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to manage successfully any business opportunity or business combination. Failure to manage anticipated growth effectively and efficiently could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion of the plan of operation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in financial position of our Company should be read in conjunction with our most recent financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q; and our 10KSB for December 31, 2007.

Our immediate priority is to either secure suitable financing to continue with our existing business or change our business and conclude a merger, acquisition or combination with a business prospect. This is critical to to ensure our survival and to preserve our shareholder's investment in our common shares. At this stage in our operations, we believe either course is acceptable, as our operations have not been profitable and our company will fail without further significant financing. We currently have only $5,624 in working capital. We believe we require a minimum of $20,000 to meet our statutory obligations and $50-75,000 to continue with our existing business. Our director has indicated that he is willing to lend our company minimum funds to enable us meet our statutory corporate and reporting obligations for the next 12 months through unsecured, no interest loans.

Concurrent with our search for additional financing for our existing business, we are also actively seeking business opportunities with established business entities for the merger of a target business with our company. In certain instances, a target business may wish to become a subsidiary of our company or may wish to contribute assets to our company rather than merge. We anticipate that any new acquisition or business opportunities by our company will require additional financing and that we will close our existing business. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue this new plan. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.

At this stage, we cannot quantify what additional financing we will require to complete a combination or merger with another business opportunity, or whether the opportunity's operations will be profitable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our company posted losses of $4,410 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $31,775 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the six month period we posted losses of $27,332 compared to $38,377 for the comparable period. From inception to June 30, 2008 we have incurred losses of $99,465. The principal components of our losses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included general and administrative costs of $4,207 and amortization of our website of $203. This compares to general and administrative costs of $13,564, marketing expenses of $18,010 and amortization of $201 in 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH RESOURCES

At June 30, 2008, we had working capital of $5,624, compared to $32,550 at December 31, 2007. At June 30, 2008, our total assets consisted of cash of $6,824 and property and equipment of $1,161, compared to cash of $35,550 and property and equipment of $1,567 at December 31, 2007.

Because we only have $5,624 in working capital remaining, we have suspended our existing planned consulting operations and will operate in a corporate maintenance mode until we either obtain additional financing and/or identify a suitable business opportunity. Our future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the support of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we

will be successful, which would in turn significantly affect our ability to roll out our business plan. If not, we will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. Any further shortfall will affect our ability to expand or even continue our operations. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
