WEST TEXAS RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016


 

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and business

 

West Texas Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010 under the name Texas Resources Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation. On June 30, 2011, the Company changed its name to West Texas Resources, Inc. The Company intends to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in North America. From its inception, the Company has devoted its activities to developing a business plan, raising capital and acquiring operating assets. On August 5, 2016, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary in the State of Texas, WTXR Operating (Texas) Inc., to operate oil and gas wells in Texas. This subsidiary was incorporated to operate oil and gas wells in which West Texas Resources, Inc. owns interests. The subsidiary began the operation of several leases in South Texas and a lease in East Texas, with operations beginning in December 3016.

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) that contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not earned any significant revenues since inception. During the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $139,951 and $106,993, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulative deficit of $2,744,671 and $2,604,720, as of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company will require up to $1 million of additional capital in order to fund its proposed operations over the next 12 months. Management plans to continue to seek sources of financing on favorable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Management expects to monitor and control the Company’s operating costs until cash is available through financing or operating activities. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these plans. The Company anticipates that losses will continue until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues to support its operations.

 

Oil and gas properties

 

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.

 

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.

 

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Asset retirement obligations

 

ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations , clarifies that a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. ASC 410-20 requires a liability to be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

WEST TEXAS RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016


 

In general, our future asset retirement obligations relate to future costs associated with plugging and abandoning our oil and natural gas wells, removing equipment and facilities from leased acreage, and returning land to its original condition. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using our credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Revisions to estimated retirement obligations will result in an adjustment to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability. If the liability for an oil or natural gas well is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, the difference is recorded to current period earnings, unless significant.

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and other cash flow statement supplemental information

 

Cash is commonly considered to consist of currency and demand deposits. The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration of risk exposure. Management believes this risk is not significant due to the financial strength of the financial institutions utilized by the Company.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates.  

 

Income taxes

 

The Company reports certain expenses differently for financial and tax reporting purposes and, accordingly, provides for the related deferred taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

 

Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from 2013 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

The Company has not filed its income tax return for fiscal year 2016. The Company plans to file this tax return in the third quarter 2017. The Company believes that it should not have a material impact on the financials because the Company did not have any tax liabilities due to the net loss incurred in fiscal year 2016.

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. For the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-based payments

 

Compensation costs for all share-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value and are recognized over the vesting period. Expense related to awards with performance conditions is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance conditions will be met, at which time the grant date fair value will be amortized over any requisite service period, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures. Excess tax benefits will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital.

 

Revenue recognition

 

In accordance with the requirements ASC topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”, revenues are recognized at such time as (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

 

The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

· Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  · Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

· Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We adopted this ASU in 2016 and the implementation did not have a material impact on our financial position or statement of operations.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplified certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new stock compensation standard on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “ Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern” , Subtopic 205-40, “ Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.”  The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities and require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term  substantial doubt,  (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We adopted this ASU in 2016 and the implementation did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers ” (Topic 606). This ASU was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2016-10 and 2016-12. As amended, Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,  “Revenue Recognition”  including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments create a new Subtopic 340-40,  “Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers”.  In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a public entity, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial position and statement of operations.

2. Oil and Gas Properties

 

Eastland County Field

 

In September 2011, we acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an explanatory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas. After explanatory work was performed, we determined that, as of the three months ended June 30, 2013, our investment in the Eastland County prospect was impaired due to an unsuccessful fracture stimulation. The value of this property, subsequent the impairment, was $20,449. The operator has undertaken no further activity on the Eastland County prospect as of the date of this report.

 

Sunshine Prospect, Landry Parish, Louisiana

 

On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Restech Resources, LLC to purchase a 15% (14.25% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas prospect located in Landry Parish, Louisiana. The working interest concerns 248 gross acres and net acres in the Sunshine Prospect. Our purchase price for the working interest was $76,500.

 

Birnie Field, Motley County, Texas

 

On September 17, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Escopeta Oil and Gas Corporation to purchase a 10% working interest (7.5% net revenue interest) in a natural gas prospect located in the Birnie field in Motley County, Texas. The working interest concerns 5,760 leased acres in the Palo Duro Basin prospect. Our purchase price for the working interest was $70,000. In 2014, the operator drilled an initial well on the prospect, however the drilling was unsuccessful and resulted in a dry hole. The operator agreed to provide us, for no additional consideration, a 1% working interest in the Stansell field prospect described below.

 

Stansell Field, Floyd County, Texas

 

We hold a 1% working interest in an oil prospect located in Floyd County, Texas. The working interest comprises 15,000 leased acres in the southern section of the Palo Duro basin. The initial project will be the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well, an existing wellbore that was drilled in 2006. The original drilling encountered oil shows in three separate reservoirs and the operator intends to re-enter and recomplete the Stansell #1-A using current fracture stimulation technology. We have a carried 1% working interest in the Stansell #1-A well through the tanks. In April 2015, the operator has started the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well.

 

Hale County Field, Hale County, Texas

 

In June and July 2014, the Company acquired non-operating leases covering approximately 1,070 gross mineral acre leases in a property located in Hale County, Texas. The leases were acquired for cash payments of $45,484. The leases have a primary term of five years with the Company option to extend the term for another five years. The leased properties constitute the surface acreage comprising a natural gas prospect, for which we hold 50% of the working interest and 40% net revenue interest. The leased properties are subject to a 20% royalty interest held by the owners and a third party. The Company is currently evaluating the Company options for the exploitation of the leased properties, including the Company sale of the leases or the Company farm-out of the leases to a natural gas operator.

 

Leased Properties from Kiowa Oil Company

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Kiowa Oil Company to lease 100% of interests, for a period of five years, of properties in North Dakota, Florida, Illinois, and Kentucky. The total price for the subject interests under this lease agreement is $5,000 and a 15% royalty interest in all the subject interests leased.

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016


 

On April 16, 2015, the Company granted options to Mr. Paul Brogan, the Company’s director, to purchase a total of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The options have an exercise price of $0.50 per share, expire on April 16, 2020, and 66,667 shares vest immediately with the rest vesting equally on April 16, 2016 and 2017. The fair value of these options was determined to be $99,712, of which $16,504 was amortized and included in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the unrecognized compensation expense related the non-vested stock options was $1,498 to be amortized over the vesting period.


The following assumptions were used in the fair value method calculation:

 

· Volatility: 266%

 

· Risk free rate of return: 1.375%

 

· Expected term: 5 years

 

On October 19, 2016, the Company granted options to Mr. William Sawyer, the Company’s new CEO, to purchase a total of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The options have an exercise price of $0.50 per share, and expire on October 18, 2021.  The stock options vest in 375,000 increments based on the CEO’s ability to raise additional capital ($1M and $10M), get company’s share price to above $2.00 with 10,000 shares daily trading volume for 30 consecutive days, or increase daily production to 500 boepd.  The fair value of the options was determined to be $448,500, but the Company does not consider it probable that the performance conditions will be met. Therefore no compensation expense has been recognized. 

 

The following assumptions were used in the fair value method calculation:

 

· Volatility: 266%

 

· Risk free rate of return: 1.375%

 

· Expected term: 5 years

 

The following is a rollforward of the options outstanding and exercisable for the six months ended March 31, 2017:

 

    Options     Weighted Average Exercise Price     Average Remaining Life  
Outstanding and exercisable – September 30, 2016     563,889     $ 0.57       2.73  
Vested     33,105                  
Expired                      
Outstanding and exercisable – March 31, 2017     596,994     $ 0.57       1.98  

 

5. Income Taxes

 

Based on the available information and other factors, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2016 and 2015 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2016 and 2015. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $2,605,000 and $2,380,000, respectively, expiring beginning in 2032.

 

Deferred tax assets consist of the following components:

 

    September 30, 2016     September 30, 2015  
Net loss carryforward   $ 920,000     $ 840,000  
Valuation allowance     (920,000 )     (840,000 )
Total deferred tax assets   $     $

6. New CEO’s employment and stock options agreement highlights.

 

On October 19, 2016, the Company hired a new CEO and entered into an employment agreement providing for the following compensation:

 

Base Salary: The base salary is $90,000 per year ($7,500 per month), with $2,000 guaranteed and paid on a monthly basis, and the remaining $5,500 accruing each month until certain benchmarks are reached. Accrual reduction happens at the one year mark, at which point $4,000 is guaranteed and paid on a monthly basis, with the remaining $3,500 accruing each month until certain benchmarks are reached. At the two year mark, accrual ends and any unpaid balance is paid out on a monthly basis at $500, with the final lump sum paid at the three year mark.

 

Option Compensation: The CEO was granted 1,500,000 stock options. The stock options vest in 375,000 increments based on the CEO’s ability to raise additional capital ($1M and $10M), get company’s share price to above $2.00 with 10,000 shares daily trading volume for 30 consecutive days, or increase daily production to 500 boepd. All benchmarks must be reached within two years of the Oct. 18, 2016 grant date. If there is a change in control, then all options vest and become immediately exercisable. As of March 31, 2017 the Company concluded that the vesting conditions were not probable, and therefore no compensation expense has been recorded related to these options.

 

Annual Bonus: The annual bonus is not guaranteed, however we will track the performance criteria throughout the year.

 

Other Perks: Among the various perks, the CEO gets two weeks paid vacation each calendar year.

 

7. Debt Forgiveness

 

During the 6 months ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s legal counsel forgave $26,292 in legal fees payable. The company recognized a gain as a result of this forgiveness within other income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

8. Subsequent Event

 

Events subsequent to March 31, 2017 have been evaluated through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued to determine whether they should be disclosed to keep the consolidated financial statements from being misleading. Management noted the following subsequent event that should be disclosed:

 

· The Company entered into subscription agreements to sell, during January and March, 2017, 37,000 units at $0.30 per unit. One unit equals one share at $0.30 per share plus 1 warrant at $0.50 per share for the amount of $11,100.

General

 

We were formed on December 9, 2010 under the laws of Nevada for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and development in North America. We commenced revenue producing oil and gas operations effective as of April 1, 2013.

 

Eastland County Field

 

In September 2011, we acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an explanatory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas. After explanatory work was performed, we determined that, as of the three months ended June 30, 2013, our investment in the Eastland County prospect was impaired due to an unsuccessful fracture stimulation. The value of this property, subsequent the impairment, was $20,449. The operator has undertaken no further activity on the Eastland County prospect as of the date of this report.

 

Sunshine Prospect

 

We hold a 15% working interest (14.25% net revenue interest) in a non-operating oil and gas prospect located in Landry Parish, Louisiana. The working interest concerns 248 gross acres and net acres in the Sunshine Prospect.

 

Stansell Field

 

We hold a 1% working interest in an oil prospect located in Floyd County, Texas. The working interest comprises 15,000 leased acres in the southern section of the Palo Duro basin. The initial project will be the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well, an existing well bore that was drilled in 2006. The original drilling encountered oil shows in three separate reservoirs and the operator intends to re-enter and recomplete the Stansell #1-A using current fracture stimulation technology. We have a carried 1% working interest in the Stansell #1-A well through to the tanks. The operator commenced the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well in January 2015 and is currently evaluating the drilling results.

 

Hale County Field

 

In June and July 2014, we acquired non-operating leases covering approximately 1,070 gross mineral acre leases in the Wolfcamp field located in Hale County, Texas. The leases have a primary term of five years with our option to extend the term for another five years. The leased properties constitute the surface acreage comprising a natural gas prospect, for which we hold 50% of the working interest and 40% net revenue interest. The leased properties are subject to a 20% royalty interest held by the owners and a third party. We are currently evaluating our options for the exploitation of the leased properties, including our sale of the leases or our farm-out of the leases to a natural gas operator.

 

 

 

  13  
 

 

Kiowa Properties

 

On September 30, 2015, we leased 100% of interests, for a period of five years, of properties in North Dakota, Florida, Illinois, and Kentucky. The total price for the subject interests under this lease agreement is $5,000 and a 15% royalty interest in all the subject interests leased. The $5,000 purchase price was paid by us in our common shares at the per share price of $0.50, or 10,000 common shares.

 

T.W. Lee Lease

 

On March 3, 2016, we acquired a 25% working interest (18.75% net revenue interest) in an East Texas oil and gas property. The property is known as the T.W. Lee lease. We acquired the property from an unaffiliated party in consideration of issuance of 100,000 shares of our common stock.

 

T.A. Greer Lease

 

On May 10, 2016, we acquired a 25% working interest (19.5% net revenue interest) in an East Texas oil and gas property. The property is known as the T.A. Greer lease and includes two tracts of land totaling approximately 407 acres in Panola County, Texas. The property is held by production by two operating wells that the operator plans to re-work commencing in the third calendar quarter of 2016. We acquired the property from an unaffiliated party in consideration of our payment of $10,000 and issuance of 60,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 for a total consideration of $25,000.

 

Origin Acquisition

 

On November 10, 2016, the Company acquired from Origin Production Co. Inc. equipment and interests in various producing and non-producing leases; primarily in Gonzales, Caldwell, and Wilson County, Texas. We acquired the property from an unaffiliated party in for the purchase of 500,000 units of the Company’s securities for a purchase price of $0.30 per unit for a total of $150,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one common stock warrant that entitles its holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share over a three year period ending November 1, 2019.

 

On October 19, 2016, the Company appointed William A. Sawyer to serve as president and chief executive officer of West Texas Resources, Inc.

 

During the six months ended March, 2017, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors to sell 379,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.30 per share. The total amount of $113,700 was received and all of the shares were issued.

 

Subject to our receipt of additional capital, we intend to pursue the acquisition of additional equity interests in other oil and gas properties in North America. However, as of the date of this report, we have no understandings or agreements in place concerning our acquisition of an interest in any other properties.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we had $3,083 and $430 of revenue, respectively. The increase in revenue is driven by oil and gas sales generated by the Origin fields, which began operations in December 2016. Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2017 totaled $3,299, compared to $430 for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in revenue is driven by oil and gas sales generated by the Origin fields.

 

Cost of oil and gas produced increased from $0 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 to $5,461 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017. This is primarily comprised of lease operating expenses of $2,683 and depreciation expense of $1,130. The increase is driven by the operation of the wells in the Origin fields, which commenced operations in December 2016.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had general and administrative expenses of $98,114 compared to general and administrative expenses of $40,539 during the prior year period. The increase in general and administrative expenses is driven by increased professional fees and compensation due to the new CEO who was hired in October 2016. During the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, general and administrative expenses totaled $158,584 and $106,469, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is driven by increased professional fees and compensation due to the new CEO who was hired in October 2016. 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had other expenses of $2,233 compared to other expenses of $443 during the prior year period. The increase is driven by increased interest expense. Other expenses totaled $5,497 and $954 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

 

 

  14  
 

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, we had other income of $26,292 compared to other income of nil during the prior year period.  The increase is driven by the debt forgiveness of legal expenses owed to a law firm. 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred a net loss of $(76,433) and $(40,552), respectively. The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled $(139,951) and $(106,993), respectively. The increase in net loss for both periods is driven by increased general and administrative expenses, offset by an increase in revenue and other income.

 

Subject to our receipt of additional capital, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of additional equity interests in oil and gas properties to be thereafter exploited by us in conjunction with other oil and gas producers. As of the date of this report, we have no understandings or agreements in place concerning our acquisition of an interest in any other properties.

 

At the present time, we have two employees, our chief executive officer, William A. Sawyer, and our chief financial officer, John D. Kerr. Subject to our receipt of significant additional capital, we intend to hire additional senior management and staff with experience in oil and gas exploration. We intend to pursue an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects with a preference to serving as the operator for the prospect; however, we will also participate as a non-operator from time to time. Based on that strategy, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of oil and natural gas interests in partnership with other companies with exploration, development and production expertise. We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing. Pursuant to this strategy, we intend to engage and rely on third party geologists and geophysicists, among others, to review the available data concerning each potential acquisition. In each case, we or the operator of the prospect will assemble the appropriate data and conduct the appropriate studies and that our consultants will conduct an independent review of the data and studies for purposes of advising us of the merits of each potential acquisition.

 

The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital. Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to acquire the additional capital required to finance the acquisition of such properties and our share of the development costs. As explained under “Financial Condition” below, we will seek additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.

 

Financial Condition

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had total assets of $500,783 and negative working capital of $(296,500). We believe that our ability to achieve commercial success and our continued growth will be dependent on our ability to access capital either through the additional sale of our equity or debt securities, bank lines of credit, project financing or cash generated from oil and gas operations.  Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to acquire the additional capital required to finance the acquisition of such properties and our share of the development costs.  We will seek additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital on a timely basis in order to complete our acquisition of additional oil and gas interests.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 states that due to our losses from operations and lack of working capital there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures .

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that as of March 31, 2017 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to existing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.

 

In connection with our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016, and included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 10, 2017, we determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff, including:

 

  · Due to our small size, we do not maintain effective internal controls to assure segregation of duties as we have only two employees who are responsible for initiating and approving of transactions, thereby creating the segregation of duties weakness;
  · Our board of directors does not have an audit committee or a financial expert to maintain effective oversight of our financial reporting process; and
  · Lack of formal policies or procedures to provide assurance that relevant information is identified, captured, processed, and reported in an appropriate and timely fashion.

 

(b)   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
