Exhibit
|
A
director who is not an officer or employee of the company, is
not
in
a position to exercise control over other directors or
shareholders
and
who holds less than 10% of the voting stock of the
company.
|
|
·
|
The
essential terms of the plan simply provide for the transfer, without
other
consideration, of all oil and gas assets of Croff Enterprises to
the newly
created Utah corporation known as Croff Oil Company. The
shareholders of Croff Oil will be the current “B” preferred shareholders
of Croff Enterprises who will receive one restricted common share
in Croff
Oil in exchange for each preferred “B” share currently
held. The preferred “B” shares subsequently will be cancelled
of record. The transferred assets constitute approximately $1,500,000
of
the total approximate $1,800,000 book value of Croff and will constitute
the sole assets of the new private entity. Croff Enterprises
would essentially continue as a shell corporation with a book value
of
approximately $320,000 almost all of which would be in cash or
cash
equivalents. All preferred “B” shares would be cancelled of
record and all “B” shareholders would be issued one share of restricted
common stock in the private entity, Croff Oil Company, for each
preferred
“B” share previously held in
Croff.
|
|
·
|
The
common shares to be issued in the new entity, Croff Oil, would
be
restricted securities in a private company. That is, the shares
would not be registered under federal or state securities laws
or
regulations for distribution or trading; and, therefore, would
not be free
trading, but could only be resold upon the consent of counsel for
the
issuer. The exemption from registration claims are subsequently
discussed herein at page 39. Croff Oil Company intends to repurchase any shares
offered for sale, except for private sales between shareholders
at a price
to be subsequently determined based upon a projected value of the
company
at the time of purchase. It is believed this procedure prevents
a further distribution of the Croff Oil stock. As a result,
there will be some decrease in liquidity with reference to the
new
restricted common shares of Croff Oil versus the preferred “B” shares in
Croff Enterprises. However, it should be noted there is, at
present, no active trading market for the preferred “B”
shares. Croff is of the opinion, based upon the advice of its
counsel, that the restricted shares may be repurchased by the Company
without the company engaging in a registration or distribution
of shares,
since the only parties allowed to participate in the exchange would
be
those who are already restricted shareholders of record in the
Issuer. The potential reduction in liquidity, as discussed
above, along with other Risk Factors, are more fully treated at
page 48
of this proxy.
|
|
·
|
It
is intended that the board of directors of Croff Oil would be three
members of the existing board of directors of Croff, as identified
above,
will be submitted pursuant to this proxy for reelection in
Croff. Each shareholder should understand, however, that they
may propose on the common ballot form, as supplied with this proxy,
alternative nominees and cast their votes in favor of such alternative
nominees as part of the ballot process. Because majority
shareholders have indicated their intent to vote for the present
board
members, it is deemed that the present proposed board nominees
will be
elected as part of the
reorganization.
|
|
·
|
Croff Oil will continue managing the existing oil and gas assets, presently under management in Croff, and will attempt to build or expand those assets for the benefit of the shareholders. It is possible, though not warranted, that the board may consider future dividends to shareholders in Croff Oil Company. |
|
·
|
Croff
will continue as a publicly held company with the same common
shareholders
as presently exists prior to the proposal of corporate division
as set-out
in this proxy statement. It is anticipated that Croff will be,
for an interim period, essentially a shell corporation with approximately
$325,000 of capitalization and will continue to seek opportunities
including merger or acquisition possibilities with individuals
and/or
entities to advance its business purposes. The company intends
primarily, though not exclusively, to focus upon various oil
and gas
opportunities which may result in new assets being acquired which
are more
expandable and more readily fit into the model of a public
corporation. It should be understood that in these anticipated
endeavors, the public company will have limited financial resources
presently available and may not be able to fully implement a
plan of
acquisition and growth without further capitalization, either
from
subsequent equity or debt financing. Neither equity or debt
financing is anticipated at this time. This limited capitalization
is more
further explained under the Risk Factor Section of this
proxy.
|
|
·
|
Croff
will, as a condition of the plan of division and asset transfer
closing,
amend its Articles of Incorporation to cancel all preferred “B” shares
outstanding. All “B” preferred shares will be cancelled and
terminated of record. Croff will distribute common shares in
the new subsidiary, Croff Oil Company, with one common shares issued
to
each former “B” shareholder in Croff. Any subsequent presentation of “B”
preferred shares will entitle the holder to receive a common share
for
each “B” share for which the holder has not previously been delivered
common shares. Preferred “B” shareholders who cannot be located
under applicable notice provisions of the Utah Revised Business
Corporation Act (“URBC”), essentially being defined as those whose address
on the company records are designated as “undeliverable” after two
consecutive mailing efforts, may subsequently have any unclaimed
common
shares to which they would otherwise be entitled tendered to the
State of
Utah as unclaimed property. Typically, common shares
issued but which remain unclaimed, may be deemed lost or abandoned
and
tendered to the state of Utah if still unclaimed after a period
of five
years. Upon the closing of the plan of corporate division,
Croff will have outstanding and issued only common shares. The
state of Utah provides various notice and public listing procedures
to
owners of unclaimed property after delivery to the state before
the
property or proceeds of sale can be tendered (escheat) to the
state. These procedures and requirements are beyond the scope
of this disclosure, but are set out in Utah Code Annot. §67-4a-101
et.seq.
|
|
·
|
Since
Croff is essentially dividing the assets of the Company between
its
preferred “B” and common shareholders, there is no change of value for the
“B” shareholders. For any dissenting preferred “B” or common
shareholders, the company has valued such shares for dissenting
shareholder rights purposes at $4.25 per each preferred “B” share and
$1.00 per common share, based upon the company’s analysis of a reasonable
value as discussed
subsequently.
|
|
·
|
The
company will amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase
the
authorized class of Preferred “A” shares, no par, from five million shares
to ten million shares to facilitate potential future funding
by
Croff. No preferred “A” shares are presently issued and no
distribution is contemplated.
|
|
·
|
Croff does not believe there are or will be any anti-takeover implications of increasing the authorized class of preferred "A" shares. In point of fact, the number of such shares authorized was directed by the board to actually enhance the capacity of the company to complete a merger or acquisition by having a more "reasonable" number of such shares available for these purposes. There are no special rights or terms attached to such shares which would discourage the issuance or holding of such shares by any party seeking to gain control of Croff. It should be noted that certain shares in security transactions by unrelated parties have at times been created and authorized in such a manner that their issuance would discourage potential take-overs by creating special cash payments or stock options to existing officers, directors an
d/or affiliates upon issuance (so called "golden parachutes") or which issuance may cause excessive dilution by triggering other stock rights or entitlement by the issuance of other shares or cash payments to existing management to discourage take-over offers (so called "poison pills"). No such right or devices exist as to the proposed increased authorized shares and the company's general orientation is to encourage acquisition opportunities upon a reasonable basis.
|
|
·
|
The
company will amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase
the
authorized Common shares, $0.10 par, from twenty million shares
to fifty
million shares to facilitate potential future funding by
Croff.
|
|
·
|
There are no anti-takeover rights or devices associated with the proposed increase in the common stock as discussed in the preceding section.
|
|
·
|
It
should be noted that the current principal shareholder, Mr.
Gerald L.
Jensen, and a co-director, Mr. Julian Jensen, hold and intend
to vote a
majority block of common shares in favor of the exchange
plan. Mr. Gerald L. Jensen, individually and through his
controlled entities, owns a majority of the preferred B shares
which he
also intends to vote in favor of the exchange
plan.
|
|

|
Item
1 – Approval of Plan of Corporate Division and Asset
Exchange. You will be asked to vote upon the plan of
corporate division which transfers the Croff oil and gas assets
and
liabilities into Croff Oil in exchange for common
shares. Details of the plan of corporate division are outlined
in the preceding section and are more fully discussed subsequently
in this
proxy statement with a complete copy of the plan of corporate division
attached hereto as Exhibit “A” as previously filed by the company as an exhibit to the 10-Q for the nine
months ending September 31, 2007. A copy may
also be viewed through the SEC online EDGAR filing system at
www.sec.gov. A copy may also be reviewed on the company
website www.croff.com. The board recommends the approval of the plan of
corporate division for essentially the following
reasons:
|
|
·
|
In
prior discussions and proposals with other potential merger or
acquisition
companies dating back to 2005, each of the entities discussing
some type
of merger or acquisition transaction with Croff indicated that
they had no
interest in the existing oil and gas assets of Croff and would
request
their elimination from the company, along with the class “B” preferred
shares, as part of the overall merger or acquisition
transaction. This position was also true in discussing
transactions with companies in related oil and gas development
or
marketing activities.
|
|
·
|
The
entire board has determined for some period of time that the present
oil
and gas assets of Croff, which consist of very small royalties
or
non-operated working interests scattered over a significant geographically
diverse number of states, is difficult to value or develop independently
as part of a public company structure. In
particular, even with additional funding, the company would have
little or
no control over expanding or creating additional oil and gas interest
relevant to these existing assets which are essentially small non-operated
interests in leases or wells. As a result, the board is
convinced the future growth potential of the company, whether it
be in
alternative oil and gas development activities or unrelated business
activities, would be enhanced by the sale and disposal of these
assets and
the elimination of the preferred “B” shares which were solely created to
represent the ownership interest in these oil and gas assets as
part of an
earlier restructuring
effort.
|
|
·
|
The
board of directors feels that the interest of shareholders is
significantly safeguarded under the plan, because the interest
of all
shareholders in the preferred “B” assets remains
unchanged. Further, any shareholder not wishing to be a
shareholder in a private company holding the preferred “B” assets will
have dissenting shareholder rights under a Utah law to accept a
cash
payment as outlined in this proxy for those shares; or, alternatively,
to
suggest an alternative evaluation requiring the company to agree
or seek a
judicial valuation of the
shares.
|
|
·
|
The
board of directors determined that the cost of obtaining a formal
independent appraisal of these types of oil and gas assets would
not be
cost effective for the company or to its shareholders since it
would only
be relevant to the dissenting shareholder nor would it likely produce
a
highly reliable evaluation based upon the diverse nature of the
oil and
gas assets involved and their relatively limited aggregate
value.
|
|
·
|
The
board also determined that because the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section
404
would apply to the company beginning in 2008, that the company’s net
income is estimated to drastically decline as a result of the increased
costs of compliance, based on the diverse small assets of the company
and
its small size and small total revenues. The only source of
paying these new expenses would be the income from the preferred
“B”
assets, thus substantially lowering the value of the preferred
“B” shares
if the company is not
divided.
|
|
Board
of Directors’ Position on Item 1. The board urges your vote
in favor of the plan of corporate division and asset
exchange. The board believes, but cannot warrant, that the
approval of the plan may subsequently enhance shareholder value
and result
in enhanced capacity of the company to complete a subsequent merger
or
acquisition. The potential reduction in liquidity and other
“Risk Factors” are discussed beginning at page 46 of this proxy
statement.
|
|
2.
|
Item
2 – Increase of Authorized Common Shares. It will be
proposed as part of this proxy solicitation and as part of the
plan of
corporate division and asset exchange, that the company’s common stock be
increased from the existing 20,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares
at $0.10 par value to provide increased possibility for future
funding and
potential reorganization activities by Croff. The board of directors
believes that this change is appropriate and in the best interest
of Croff
going forward to have potential capitalization that may be necessary
to
complete proposed merger or other reorganization
possibilities. Each shareholders should understand in this
regard that the mere increase in the authorized capital will not
in any
way affect the issued and outstanding shares which will remain
the same
immediately after the completion of the plan of corporate division
and
asset exchange and that the board has an ongoing responsibility
to ensure
no shares are issued other than for a fair and adequate consideration
in
the opinion of the Croff board of
directors.There are no anti-takeover provisions associated with this proposal as previously discussed.
|
|
Board
of Directors’ Position on Item 2. The board urges your vote
in favor of this proposal, because it is believed beneficial to
future
potential funding or reorganization efforts. There is no
present intent to issue additional common
shares.
|
|
3.
|
Item
3 – Increase in the Number of Authorized Preferred “A”
Shares. It will be proposed that the current class of
non-voting preferred “A” shares, no par, be increased from 5 million to 10
million shares. The board believes it may enhance future
funding or reorganization efforts to have a larger potential class
of
preferred “A” shares. No “A” shares have been issued or are
presently contemplated to be
issued.There are no anti-takeover provisions associated with this proposal as previously discussed.
|
|
Board
of Directors’ Position on Item 3. The board is recommending
your approval of Item 3 to provide a broader number of preferred
“A”
shares for future financing or reorganization purposes consistent
with the
proposed increase in authorized common shares. There is no
present intent to issue any preferred “A”
shares.
|
|
4.
|
Item
4 – Election of Board. The present board believes that it
would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to solicit and
adequately
retain and pay independent management, for Croff following the
assignment
of the preferred “B” assets. As a result, the four present
board of directors of Croff Enterprises have agreed to submit
their
nomination for reelection as directors of Croff Enterprises for
shareholder vote as part of this proxy solicitation. Three
members of the current board have agreed to serve on the new
board of
Croff Oil Company, Gerald L. Jensen, Richard Mandel and Julian
Jensen. Present management believes it is in the best interest
of the company for shareholders to vote in favor of three members
of the
existing board of Croff Enterprises to also act as the board
of directors
of Croff Oil for the reasons that the existing board has experience
and
knowledge of the assets and business operations being transferred
to the
private company, as well as a willingness to serve for the same
minimal
compensation presently received for their services to Croff
Enterprise. It is also anticipated that the new Croff Oil board
would most likely appoint, on an interim basis, the same executive
officers to operate Croff Oil as are presently serving
Croff.
|
|
The
present nominees and currently serving board members for Croff
Enterprises
are as follows with their biographical and other information as
set-out
subsequently in this proxy
material:

Board
of Directors’ Position on Item 4. The current board serving
Croff has nominated itself for reelection and as a result, we would
urge
your vote in support of those nominees. You should also
understand that voting for those nominees that you would essentially
be
voting for appointment of the same persons to serve as the initial
board
of directors of Croff Oil which the board believes advisable for
the
reasons set-out above. The proxy ballot will provide each
voting shareholder the right to nominate and vote for alternative
members
for board positions.
|
|
5.
|
Item
5 – Ratification of Independent Auditor. As part of the
general meeting provisions, the board of directors has appointed
Mr.
Ronald C. Chadwick, P.C. of 2851 South Park Rd., Suite 720, Aurora,
CO 80014 as the independent Certified Public Accountant for the
company for the calendar year ending December 31st,
2008
subject to shareholder ratification. Mr. Chadwick has served
the company for the past year after an interim appointment for
the
calendar year 2007. The board as well as the audit committee
have been pleased with the cooperation and services provided by
Mr.
Chadwick and would recommend ratification of this
appointment. If the shareholders fail to ratify Mr. Chadwick,
then the board will seek appointment of an alternative impendent
auditor
for the company based upon recommendations and nominations of the
independent audit committee of the board. The present audit
committee supports the nomination of Mr. Chadwick for the reasons
set-out
by this paragraph.
|
|
Board
of Directors’ Position on Item 5. The board of directions,
including the audit committee of the board, recommends the reappointment
of Mr. Chadwick as the independent auditor for the company based
upon his
past performance, fees and services and urges your vote in favor
of this
ratification.

Objectives
of Croff Compensation Program. Historically, and currently,
Croff has only had one compensated principal officer, its president,
CEO
and chairman of the board, Mr. Gerald L. Jensen. Mr. Jensen
serves the company utilizing a substantial amount of his time,
but
also is an officer in various private companies, and thus is
essentially a
part-time officer. As a result, an independent majority of the
board on an annual basis have reviewed the compensation to Mr.
Jensen. Independent members of the board have determined since
2003 that $54,000 as an annual compensation salary for the services
rendered by Mr. Jensen were a reasonable and adequate salary
based upon
the size and nature of the company, the size of its revenues
and income,
and the part-time nature of the position. Within these
considerations, it was also determined that there should be no
collateral
benefits or indirect compensation extended to the president or
the board
members, except that the board did agree to make an annual IRA
(Individual
Retirement Account) contribution in the amount of $1,620 per
year for the
periods subsequent to 2003, to the president. There have been
no stock options to directors since they were last exercised
or expired in
2002. Croff currently does not have a Chief Financial Officer
(CFO), but employs a chief accounting officer. This employee is
paid on a part-time basis through a third party contract
arrangement.
|
|
·
|
Services
to be Rewarded. Historically, the Croff board had
determined that the chief executive officer should be given a salary
to
reward him for the day-to-day management and operation of the oil
and gas
business of the company and completing other administrative duties
and
governmental filings. As subsequently noted, the chief
executive officer in the existing management structure also had
the
responsibilities to do initial reviews and screening of any merger
or
other acquisition proposals and to determine what, if any, of those
proposal would be suitable for further board review and due
diligence. As also noted previously, an independent
majority of the board, excluding Mr. Gerald L. Jensen, determined
and set
the salary for the president and believes that the compensation
is
reasonable for the size and the nature of the company and the services
performed. The board also determined, acting as a committee of
the whole, that no annual compensation would be paid to board members
as
such; but that they would be reimbursed for meeting attendance
as
previously described. Further, there has been no stock
rights, warrants or other options granted as part of compensation
for
management in any capacity or for other purposes, since the last
exercised
options in 2002.
|
|
·
|
Elements
of Compensation. As noted above, as to historical
management there were no stock options, rights, benefits, or other
collateral benefits paid to the single compensated officer of the
corporation or to any director since 2002. In addition to the
base salary, the company did pay a small annual IRA contribution
as
outlined above to the president. The board of directors are
compensated only for meeting on a stipend basis. This
compensation pattern and the absence of any collateral or indirect
compensation is fully set-out in the summary compensation
below.

Compensation
After Corporate Division. Mr. Gerald L. Jensen has agreed
to serve both Croff and Croff Oil as their respective president
with all
compensation being paid by Croff
Oil.

Historically,
the Board has adopted a policy that as to any proposal or transaction
which involves any interest of a director or officer, such proposal
or
transaction must be independently reviewed and adopted, with or
without
modification, or rejected by a majority of independent board
members. After presentation, such review is conducted and a
determination made outside the presence of the interested
party. This same procedure has been followed in considering
management compensation. The board is not aware of any incidence
where shareholder ratification was believed required or sought
relative to
this procedure.
|
|
·
|
During
2005, pursuant to a tender offer and required public filings, Mr.
Gerald
L. Jensen and related entities (principal shareholders) acquired
in a
tender offer to all preferred “B” shareholders approximately 110,344
additional “B” shares or an additional 20.4% of the preferred “B” shares
at $3.00 per share bringing their total holdings to 67.2 % or 363,535
shares. There was no independent fairness opinion obtained and
Croff’s Board of Directors (absent Mr. Gerald Jensen) acting as an
independent committee referred such terms and conditions to the
shareholders without recommendation. It should be understood
that no independent determination of fairness by a fully independent
individual or group was employed due to cost considerations and
the
board’s independent determination of the unreliability of such estimates
for the type of assets held by
Croff.
|
|
·
|
As
to the aspects of the present transfer agreement dealing with the
proposed
corporate division and transfer of assets, there has been no independent
fairness opinion or review. The company’s board believes that
such terms are reasonable based upon the fact that each present
‘B”
shareholder will receive the same relative interest in the current
Croff
oil and gas assets in the new company but with voting
rights. From the basis of its annual reserve report and current
prices of oil and gas, the company believes a price of $4.25/share
for
each preferred “B” share is fair for those dissenting shareholders seeking
a cash settlement. The common redemption price at $1.00/share
is more subjectively projected as the maximum perceived value of
Croff as
a public shell, and approximates the current limited trading
range. However, each shareholder exercising dissenter’s rights
should consider the lack of such independent fairness opinion or
review as
an essential risk factor as it pertains to this or any related
party
transaction.
|
|
·
|
Mr.
Gerald Jensen’s compensation has been determined and set by the other
board members voting
independently.
|
|
·
|
Historically,
Croff has employed a policy and procedure that all non-operated
oil and
gas production opportunities known to any member of the board will
be
first made available for consideration by the Croff board before
being
privately pursued for
development.
|
|
·
|
Historically,
Croff has reported other related party transactions as part of
its current
10-K/A filing which is incorporated by this reference; but does
not
believe such disclosures relevant to its ongoing activities following
the
plan of division.

|
|
1. Consider
transferring the oil and gas assets out of the existing public
entity to a
private entity in such a way as to preserve the equivalent interest
in
such private entity of the present “B” shareholders (to which the oil and
gas assets were pledged) and to provide voting rights to all shareholders
by having a common class of
stock.
|
|
2. Continue
to attempt to find suitable merger, acquisition or other types
of
reorganization possibilities for Croff Enterprises, Inc. subsequent
to
filing a proxy statement obtaining shareholder approval of the
transfer of
the assets to a private
entity.
|
|
3. As
part of the overall plan of reorganization to convert each issued
and
outstanding “B” share to one common share in the new private oil and gas
entity, Croff Oil. To provide notice through the proxy process
to shareholders of this conversion upon majority approval and to
provide
an ongoing mechanism whereby the preferred “B” shares would be cancelled
of record and prior holders of preferred “B” shares would receive one
common share of Croff Oil for each former preferred “B”
share.
|
|
4. To
charge the president to actively engage in seeking out and discussing
merger or acquisition
possibilities.
|
|
5. To
consider the future acquisition of personal liability insurance
for
members of the board of
directors.
|
|
6. To
simplify the corporate structure and assets to allow implementation
of
financial review procedures and accounting practices at a reasonable
cost,
in conforming with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley or to consider
the
ramifications of becoming a “pink sheet”
company.
|
|
7. To
increase the common shares for future financing or reorganization
purposes
from 20 million shares at $.10 par value to 50 million shares at
$.10 par
value and to increase the authorized but un-issued class “A” shares from 5
million shares common no par to 10 million shares, no
par.
|
|
8. To
review and include within this proxy solicitation required dissenting
shareholder rights provisions to all shareholders and to determine
a
suggested valuation of the preferred “B” shares for dissenting shareholder
rights purposes at $4.25 per share and for the common shares at
$1.00 per
share.
|
|
·
|
Summary
of Transfer. As previously set-out, in the
event of the successful majority common and class “B” shareholder approval
of the asset transfer, all of the oil and gas assets of Croff will
be
transferred to Croff Oil, a Utah corporation wholly owned
by Croff. Each existing preferred “B” shareholder in Croff will
be issued one common share in the new Croff Oil such that their
relative
rights in the oil and gas assets should remain the same as their
current
percentage of ownership of preferred “B” shares. Mr. Gerald L.
Jensen, with associated business entities, will continue to hold
and
control approximately 67.2% of the voting stock and ownership of
the new
corporation and the other preferred “B” shareholders will own the
remaining 32.8%, but will have an ongoing voting rights as common
shareholders in the new corporation. There will be no change in
the common shareholders. The percentage shareholders actually
holding shares in the new entity may decrease in accordance with
the
number of preferred “B” shareholders who elect to exercise dissenting
shareholder rights in lieu of receiving common shares in Croff
Oil. No anticipation or projection of what percentage of
shareholders may exercise dissenting shareholder rights can be
made by the
company, but it is anticipated that the numbers should relatively
insignificant.
|
|
·
|
No
Oil and Gas Assets. In the event of majority
shareholder approval of the asset transfer and corporate division
as
described earlier in this proxy, Croff will have essentially no
oil and
gas assets and should have cash or cash equivalents left of approximately
of $300,000. As previously indicated, Croff would then attempt
to actively go forward to seek some form of merger or acquisition
transaction which hopefully will increase shareholder value, provide
working assets and create an active trading company upon completion
of
such transaction. The board realistically anticipates that any
acquisition or merger will result in the present shareholders of
Croff
holding a very small minority position most likely in the range
of 5-10%
in the event of the completed acquisition or merger. Except for
the completion of a future merger or acquisition, Croff would have
no
active business purpose or assets and will be required to employ
and
expand its limited cash reserves and assets primarily for compliance
work
as a ongoing public company, as well as ordinary overhead expenses
as
detailed in its 10-K/A
report.
|
|
·
|
Share
Ownership after Closing. Subsequent to the
closing of the corporate split and asset transfer, Croff would
essentially
have the same existing ownership as presently extant in the
company. That is, Mr. Gerald L. Jensen and affiliated entities
would own approximately 47% of the issued and outstanding common
stock and
all other shareholders would own approximately 53%. If shares
held by the board of directors are separated from the other shareholders
not affiliated with Mr. Gerald L. Jensen, this remaining group
of public
shareholders would constitutes approximately 46% and the board,
collectively, excluding Mr. Gerald L. Jensen, would hold approximately
8%. The ownership in Croff Oil has been earlier set-out and
described in the preceding
sections.
|
|
·
|
Principal Management. Immediately following the approval of the corporate division, three of the existing board of Croff would also constitute the interim board and is anticipated to appoint management of Croff Oil. It is anticipated that after an interim period of approximately 6 months to a year, there will be a shareholder election and changes proposed to the board of Croff Oil and anticipated subsequent appointment of management. It is anticipated, though not warranted, that during this interim period Croff Enterprises most likely will be able to complete a merger or acquisition, which would, in turn, almost certainly result in a totally unrelated proposal to substitute and elect new directors having no prior affiliation with the existing Croff board and management. |
|
·
|
Shell
Company. In the event of and subsequent to the
shareholder approval of the stock split and asset transfer, Croff
will
become what is essentially known as “shell” public
corporation. That is a corporation which continues to report as
a publicly owned and held entity under the Securities and Exchange
Act of
1934 (’34 Act), but without any active business assets or purpose pending
a subsequent merger or acquisition. The status of Croff as a
shell company may impose certain limitations and other reporting
requirements on Croff that may be adverse to shareholder
interest. While not intended as an exhaustive listing of events
related to becoming a shell company, the following are believed
to be some
of the more significant reporting requirements and
limitations:
|
|
§
|
Croff
will have to report on the first page of its 10-Q and 10-K filings
that it
is a shell company.
|
|
§
|
In
the event of any merger or acquisition, shell companies are required
to
report any merger or acquisition proforma financials
concurrently with the filing of the notice of the definitive agreement
of
the merger or acquisition and do not have the time allowed to non-shell
companies to provide subsequent proforma financial
information.
|
|
§
|
Broker/dealers
trading shares in shell companies are required to provide particular
high
risk notices related to such companies to various persons purchasing
stock
in a shell company from a broker/dealer and to qualify those who
may
invest.
|
|
§
|
In
any public disclosure document, the company will most likely
have to list
and described various risk factors inherent in acquiring of and
owning
stock in a shell
company.
|
|
·
|
No
Dividends. At present, there is no commitment
or undertaking of Croff, after the anticipated corporate division
closing,
to commence the payment of dividends from anticipated earnings
and no one
should continue to hold or acquire stock in Croff Oil upon any
assurance
or expectation of dividends as it is most likely that the company
will
continue to retain any earnings for growth or development purposes
for the
foreseeable future. Further, it is anticipated Croff will not
pay any dividends for the foreseeable
future.
|
|
·
|
No
Warranty of Future Earnings. Croff cannot, as
it becomes a shell company, make or proffer any warranty or assurance
that
there will be future earnings or future trading value in its stock
and its
entire future will be dependent upon the success of the present
board in
seeking out and finding a suitable acquisition or merger
candidate.
|
|
·
|
Conversion
of Preferred “B” to Common. As a result of
the transactions outlined above, the company will have no preferred
B
shares or assets. All preferred “B” shares will be cancelled
prior to the closing and one new common share in Croff Oil will
have been
issued for each preferred “B” share. The company may treat any
undeliverable new common shares as lost or abandoned property after
the
appropriate time period under applicable laws for lost or abandoned
property in the state of Utah and after giving the minimum required
notice
of exchange through this Proxy or as subsequently determined appropriate
by the company under Utah law as previously
described.
|
|
·
|
Current
Majority Control. It should be noted that two
directors of the company, Mr. Gerald. L. Jensen and Mr. Julian
D. Jensen,
intend to vote a majority of the common shares held between them
in favor
of the transactions described by this proxy and for the election
of the
new directors; thereby assuring its passage, subject only to dissenting
shareholder rights as previously and subsequently explained in
this
proxy. Mr. Gerald L. Jensen, individually or through
controlled entities, also holds a majority of the preferred B shares
and
has committed to vote those shares in favor of the
transaction. As a result, while the company is interested and
does solicit your vote in favor of the propositions, it should
be
understood that the exchange plan will be approved based upon the
committed votes to date and that if any shareholder is dissatisfied
with
the terms of this transaction, the sole practical remedy of any
such
dissenting shareholder will be the exercise of the dissenting shareholder
rights as provided under Utah law and as more fully described in
this
Proxy material. Further, election of directors cannot be
completed under Utah law by majority shareholder consent, but requires
an
actual vote of all
shareholders.
|
|
·
|
The
consideration that the company may be able to increase shareholder
value
by obtaining an alternative business or asset which might have greater
growth potential.
|
|
·
|
The
increasing cost and complexity of maintaining the company as a
small
public company, which became more onerous after passage of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
|
|
·
|
The
understanding that the small, fractional and widely disbursed assets
of
Croff were difficult to scale into a larger more liquid
company.
|
|
·
|
The
realization that it was costly and difficult to value and dispose
of the
oil and gas assets, because of their very fractionalized and dispersed
nature.
|
|
·
|
The
consideration that the company did not presently have any additional
capital to materially increase its existing preferred “B” oil and gas
assets.
|
|
·
|
The
fact that recent merger or acquisition discussions, including the
recently
terminated share exchange with TRBT, have required the company
selling or
somehow spinning out existing oil and gas
assets.
|
|
·
|
The
advancing age of present management of the company and their desire
to
step-down from active management of a public company in the near
future.
|
|
·
|
The
company entered into acquisition discussions with a group from
Calgary,
Canada during 1996 and 1997 known as Agra Fiber Industries, Inc.
Agra
Fiber Industries had presented their business plan to Croff and
it had
been reviewed by the president and later by the Board of Directors.
Agra
Fiber essentially created fiber board utilizing straw and fescue
grass
fibers, rather than the standard wood chips. After some discussions
by
telephone, the president of Croff went to Calgary, Canada, and
met with
the initial management and some of the board of directors of Agra
Fiber.
Agra Fiber was seeking funding to build plants which would cost
approximately 30 million dollars, and was seeking initial private
funding
followed by a secondary offering which might be facilitated by
a merger
with a public company. After several meetings and a review by the
board of
directors of Croff, Agra Fiber was able to secure a commitment
for debt
financing. Croff’s president and the president of Agra Fiber
met with the Principal Group, an investment banking firm, in Houston,
Texas, with respect to this financing. Croff provided only its
public
information, and received the Agra Fiber financials and business
plan. In
mid-1997, negotiations ceased when Agra Fiber reported that it
was
obtaining equity funding from a private Canadian investor which
was not
interested in a public merger. No formal agreement or letter of
intent was entered.
|
|
·
|
In
1997 and 1998 the Board reviewed two proposals from a Mr. William
Becker,
a Canadian owner of cable television, real-estate, and oil and
gas
interests. Mr. Becker was developing several high tech companies
and was
interested in a possible reverse-merger with Croff. The first company,
which was discussed with Mr. Becker, was Sky Connect, Inc. Sky
Connect was
an existing company in the development stage which provided telephone
service from aircraft prior to the widespread use of cell phones.
Croff
management received and evaluated an appraisal of this development
stage
company from the Madison Group, an investment company in Chicago,
Illinois. After a number of management meetings with Sky Connect,
no
agreement was reached on an acquisition by Croff, and the Board
was not
presented with any proposal. Croff management then entered into
discussions on another company founded by Mr. Becker, known as
Telehub
Communications Corporation. Telehub Communications Corporation
was an
early stage internet phone company using digital information packets
over
fiberoptic lines which was at an early stage of development in
1998. This
company was headquartered
north of Chicago, Illinois. Telehub was obtaining bond
financing as part of its capital raising program and would then
propose a
reverse-merger with Croff to become a public corporation. The President
met with representatives and advisors of Telehub at their headquarters
near Chicago, and later in San Francisco. Following the last meeting
with
Coopers and Lybrand, Telehub’s public accounting firm in San Francisco, it
was determined that Telehub would incur material adverse tax consequences
if the reverse-merger into Croff took place. Therefore, the negotiations
were dropped by Telehub. Again, there was no definitive
agreement or letter of
intent.
|
|
·
|
Croff
had a number of other discussions from 1999 - 2002 with potential
acquisition targets, but none of these potential
acquisitions progressed past the early discussion stage. In 2004,
the
president met with Trinity Capital Corporation in Toronto, Canada,
with
respect to raising capital for Croff which could be used in the
company’s
oil and gas reentry program in Dewitt County, Texas, and for other
expansion purposes. The president flew to Toronto and met with
the
principals of Trinity Capital and arranged for a discussion with
the other
members of the board of directors by conference call. After a period
of
negotiations, it was agreed that Trinity Capital would attempt
to raise
equity money for Croff. These efforts were terminated even before
any
formal offering memorandum was prepared. Instead, Croff
entered into a joint development agreement on the Dewitt
County, Texas Properties with Tempest Energy Resources, LP, which
was duly
reported in the Company’s filings on Form 10-K and
10-Q.
|
|
·
|
In
August of 2005, Several of the principals of Trinity Capital, who
had met
with the Croff, after consulting with the Trinity board, informed
management that they had formed an oil and gas company, Canary
Resources,
Inc. and would be interested in a reverse merger with
Croff. Canary was primarily involved in coal methane gas
development. Canary’s management proposed utilizing the Dewitt
County properties and possible Michigan properties of Croff, with
the
remaining assets pledged to the preferred “B” properties to be purchased
by the Croff principal shareholders who had just finished the tender
offer
for the Preferred “B” shares. Croff’s president then engaged in
negotiations with Bill Chandler, the President of Canary Resources.
These
negotiations continued during the fourth quarter of 2005 and first
quarter
2006. The Canary assets were essentially coal-bed methane leases
in
eastern Kansas and Western Missouri. Canary was a development stage
company in which there was no current production from any of the
wells.
Canary’s business plan was to acquire a large acreage position and develop
funding to begin the actual drilling program. Canary had successfully
completed a seven million dollar private investment of its convertible
preferred shares. The Board of Directors of Croff, on November
4, 2005,
authorized a non-exclusive letter of intent with Canary, agreeing
all
information would be kept confidential. Croff provided Canary its
public
filings and its oil and gas reserve report. Canary provided a reserve
report and business plan information to Croff. After due diligence
on the
financial situation of Canary and examination of a lawsuit in which
Canary
was involved with respect to these assets, the president of Croff
after
discussion with the Croff board sent a letter on December 13, 2005,
revoking the letter of intent with Canary. Management continued
to have
negotiations with Canary during the year 2006, at the same time
it was
discussing the potential acquisition of TRBT. In September of 2006,
the
Board made a final review of the Canary financial statements
and determined not to proceed any further with negotiations with
Canary,
but to proceed with the proposal from
TRBT.

In
December 2005, Croff was approached by Mr. Ed Wong, an agent for
a number
of Chinese companies which were seeking access to the US public
markets.
He stated that he represented himself and Mr. Sam Liu, who together
would
be interested in arranging the acquisition of a Chinese company
by Croff.
Sam Liu and Ed Wong, hereafter “agents,” stated that they were interested
in a debt free, active, fully reporting public company, and that
Croff had
been referred to them. They also stated that there was no interest
in its
oil and gas assets or
operations.
|
The
president then visited China in April, 2006, meeting in Beijing
China with
an independent law firm to review aspects of Chinese law in this
type of
transaction and then traveling to Taiyuan, China, to meet with
the
officers and directors of TRBT and to inspect each of the shopping
malls. While in Taiyuan, Mr. Jensen also met with the staff and
accountants for TRBT. Following this trip, the President reported
to the
Croff board on April 25, 2006, that he was satisfied that the
companies in China were conducting a well run real-estate business,
that
the shopping malls had a high occupancy rate and the staff seemed
professional and competent. During October and November, 2006,
it was determined that in order to eliminate the remaining “B” shares, the
Articles of Incorporation of Croff would be amended to convert
each
preferred “B” share to two shares of common stock and to cancel all
authorized preferred “B” shares. The cash consideration, except
for a dividend to common shareholders of Croff and a retirement
bonus to
resigning directors, would remain in the company. Julian
Jensen, legal counsel, informed the board in detail about the Utah
Dissenting Shareholder Rights Statute, and the rights of any dissenting
Preferred “B” shareholders to obtain a cash settlement, rather than two
common shares. In November 2006, the board received preliminary
September 30, 2006, financial statements and Croff completed its
September
30, 2006, 10-Q. The board then met on December 5, 2006 and approved
the
Acquisition Agreement. This approval required that certain
editing and refining changes be made in the Agreement prior to
its signing
and announcement. The Exchange Agreement was signed on December
14, 2006 and 8-K filed with the SEC on December 14, 2006. There
were no
other documents exchanged. The Stock Exchange plans, including
all
exhibits, are included in their entirety as an attachment to the
earlier
filed 8-K.
|
|
By
early 2007, it had become apparent to the Croff board that TRBT
was having
problems in timely providing adequate audited financial information
meeting GAAP requirements and disclosure under SEC Regulation
and other
SEC rules governing financial disclosures in financial
statements.
|
|
After
various late negotiations and attempts to complete the transaction,
the
Croff board in June, 2007 finally gave formal notice to TRBT of
the
termination of the proposed share exchange for the reasons outlined
above. The board subsequently has entered into negotiations
with another oil and gas company, but no agreement has been reached,
and
no announcement made.
