PART I
 
Item 1. Business.
  
General
 
Daleco Resources Corporation (“DRC”) is a Nevada corporation (organized in Nevada in 2002). DRC’s Articles provide for, among other things, authorized capital stock of 150 million shares of common stock and 20 million shares of preferred stock. By vote of the shareholders at DRC’s annual meeting on June 20, 2013, DRC’s authorized shares of common stock were increased to 150 million shares from 100 million shares. The Company's (as that term is defined below) segments consist of two separate categories: oil and natural gas and non-metallic minerals. DRC is a holding company whose subsidiaries are engaged in: (i) the exploration, development and production of oil and gas; (ii) the exploration for naturally occurring minerals; (iii) the production of such minerals; and (iv) the marketing and sales of such minerals. DRC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include: Westlands Resources Corporation (“WRC”); Deven Resources, Inc. (“DRI”); DRI Operating Company, Inc. (“DRIOP”); Tri-Coastal Energy, Inc. (“TCEI”); Clean Age Minerals, Inc. (“CAMI”); CA Properties, Inc. (“CAPI”); International Aggregation and Trading Company, LLC (“IATC”); Sustainable Forest Industries, Inc. (“SFI”); and The Natural Resources Exchange, Inc. (“NREX”) (hereinafter, DRC, WRC, DRI, DRIOP, TCEI, CAMI, CAPI, IATC, SFI and NREC are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Company”). IATC, TCEI, SFI and NREX are inactive.
 
All of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located onshore within the continental United States of America. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, WRC, DRIOP and DRI, owns and operates oil and gas properties located in Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. The Company owns overriding royalty interests in (i) two wells in Pennsylvania and (ii) one well in Texas. The Company does not own working interests in the two wells located in Pennsylvania that it operates.
 
The Company does not refine any crude oil or market, at retail, any oil or petroleum products. The Company does not own any drilling rigs. All of its drilling activities are performed by independent drilling contractors.
 
DRI is the managing general partner of Deerlick Royalty Partners I, a Pennsylvania general partnership, which owns overriding royalty interests in seventy wells in the Deerlick Coalbed Methane Field located in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. DRI is also the sole shareholder of DRIOP which operates wells and has oil and gas interests in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned working interests in 28 wells in Texas and West Virginia. Throughout the twelve month period beginning October 1, 2012 and ending September 30, 2013 (“2013”), the Company has experienced an average increase of 3% in the unit of production weighted average sales price it received for its oil and natural gas products as compared to the twelve month period beginning October 1, 2011 and ending September 30, 2012 (“2012”).
 
CAMI, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CAPI (hereinafter CAMI and CAPI are sometimes collectively referred to as “CAM”), owns a fee title interest, leasehold interest and Federal Placer and Lode mining claims containing non-metallic and other minerals in Texas, New Mexico and Utah. CAM is presently engaged in the exploration for such minerals. CAM intends to mine the minerals through the use of contract miners and arrangements with its joint venture partner.
 
In February 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of sanitary wastewaters. Such patents utilize the Company’s zeolite. The license applies to the US and covers the use of the technology in water, wastewater and waste treatment in animal feed operations, agriculture, and aquaculture. In addition, the license applies to the treatment of sanitary wastewater on Federal facilities, military bases and lands administered by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs.
 
During 2013, the Company filed several provisional patents relating to the use of its CA Series engineered products in various novel systems and processes.  Specifically, the provisional patents relate to a system and method for applying a zeolitic material useful for converting a contaminated waste material that is environmentally unacceptable, to a relatively harmless substance which is environmentally acceptable, and, more particularly, applying a material with an effective amount of zeolite for treating waste water.  Additional processes include utilizing similar system designs in acid mine drainage, animal feed, agriculture, aquaculture, and other industrial purposes.

FEI/DTE Stock Purchase Agreement
 
On March 25, 2013, the Company finalized a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Far East Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company (“FEI”) and DTE Investment Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“DTE”) (hereinafter FEI and DTE are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Investors” and individually as an “Investor”). The Investors paid the Company $1.5 million for 15 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 (“Common Stock”) and warrants for the purchase of up to a total of 18 million shares of Common Stock to the Investors (“FEI/DTE Warrants”). The FEI/DTE Warrants have a term of five (5) years (“Term”) and may be exercised at a price of $0.20 per share (“Exercise Price”). In the third through fifth years of the Term, the Exercise Price may be satisfied by exchanging Common Stock at the current market price. The FEI/DTE Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Term. See Note 9.
 
Under the SPA for so long as the Investors retain 51% or more of the Common Stock issued under the SPA (7,650,000 shares), the Investors are entitled to request that the Company nominate for election, by the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, two persons suitable to serve as directors of the Company.
 
A provision of the Agreement requires that the Company shall not make any public announcement or statement concerning the Agreement other than that which the Company is required to disclose on Form 8-K and other required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See Exhibit 10.27. The Company, consistent with its obligations under the securities laws, is required to seek confidential treatment of the information set forth in the Annex and Exhibits to the SPA.
 
OIL AND NATURAL GAS
 
Beginning at page 110 of this report, a glossary of oil and natural gas terms used throughout this report is included. See Item 8 of Part II for additional information relating to the oil and natural gas activities of the Company.
 
Recent Significant Activity 
 
Texas Railroad Commission Enforcement Action
 
In September 2013, WRC received an enforcement action from the Texas Railroad Commission (“RRC”). Due to the enforcement action, the renewal of WRC’s operator's permit was suspended until such action is resolved.  Certain of WRC’s operated wells continue to pump and oil is stored oil in production tanks. Certain of WRC’s operated wells are not producing as the respective production tanks have reached their capacity limitations. WRC is not permitted to sell oil until its operator’s permit is renewed.  As such, the Company's consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2014 will be significantly lower than the first quarter of 2013. Depending on the timing of the resolution of the renewal of such permit, the Company's consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2014 may also be higher or lower than the second quarter of 2013.  Management of the company anticipates the renewal of the operator’s permit to be completed during the second quarter of 2014; however there can be no assurances as to when the renewal of WRC’s operator’s permit will be approved by the RRC and when the sales of oil from WRC’s operated properties will resume.
 
Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement
 
On October 6, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (“APA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its interest in certain oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights for certain properties located in Burleson County, Texas (“Properties”), for cash, subject to adjustment as to any title defect that is not cured within the timeframe permitted by such agreement. On November 5, 2013, the closing date was delayed from November 6, 2013, to December 6, 2013, in accordance with the APA to allow the Company to address title issues raised by the buyer on November 1, 2013. A First Amendment to the APA was entered into on December 5, 2013, extending the “Delayed Closing Date” until December 17, 2013. On December 17, 2013, the parties closed on the sale of 280 net acres attributable to the Company’s interest in the Properties covered by this portion of the transaction. The Company received $448,038 at the closing and will recognize gain in the amount of proceeds when received. The oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights that were sold were undeveloped, and as such not income-producing to the Company. On December 16, 2013, a Second Amendment to the APA was entered into by the Company and the Buyer to extend the Delayed Closing Date to January 16, 2014, as to certain Properties to allow the parties to continue to address the Buyer’s concerns about certain issues with the remaining Properties that did not close on December 17, 2013. On January 13, 2014, a Third Amendment to the APA was entered into by the Company and the Buyer to extend the Delayed Closing Date to February 17, 2014.

Property Acquisition and Disposition
 
During 2013, the Company did not acquire any oil and gas properties or drilling prospects. During 2012, the Company acquired certain working interests in its operated properties in Texas. During 2012, the Company sold certain oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights in Pennsylvania for cash of $898,335. The oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights that were sold were undeveloped, and as such not income-producing to the Company. Within the oil and gas sector, the Company faces competition from entities possessing substantially larger financial resources and staffs. The demand for domestically produced oil and natural gas should remain at the current levels in the foreseeable future especially in light of worldwide demand, the turmoil in the Middle East, decreased production from Central America and political instability in South America. Domestic and increasing world demands, especially in the Pacific Basin, for crude oil and natural gas will continue to increase.
 
The domestic oil industry is subject to the fluctuations inherent in the global energy industry. Natural gas and crude oil prices have fluctuated on the spot market and each is a commodity traded on the mercantile exchange. However, most of the Company’s products (natural gas and crude oil) are sold under contracts that provide the Company with competitive pricing within its operating areas. While the demand for domestic natural gas remains favorable, the ongoing development of shale gas resources plays has significantly increased the available domestic natural gas supplies. In response, the price received for natural gas has declined within the existing domestic markets. Alternative markets and uses for natural gas are being developed and such should have a favorable impact on the demand for and the stabilization of natural gas prices with the United States.
 
The Company continues to focus on: (i) identifying niche acquisition and developmental opportunities within the oil and gas sector that can be economically exploited, and (ii) identifying third parties who will, either individually or in conjunction with the Company, develop certain of the Company’s leasehold interests.
  
Marketing and Production of Oil and Gas, Delivery Commitment
 
The Company does not refine or engage in retail sales of any petroleum products. All of its production is sold, at the wellhead, to a variety of customers, which include pipelines, oil and natural gas gathering firms and other purchasers, pursuant to written agreements. Sales of oil and natural gas are customarily made at prevailing market prices or tied to a benchmark price under long-term contracts. Typically, oil purchase agreements are of short duration and provide for market sensitive pricing. Natural gas contracts are of a longer duration. The Company is a party to two long-term natural gas sales contracts which contain provisions concerning annual price adjustments and two contracts that renew annually. The Company is not obligated to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil and/or natural gas under existing contracts or agreements.
 
The availability of a market for oil and natural gas produced from the properties of the Company and prices received are dependent upon numerous factors, substantially all of which are beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include the level of domestic production, the availability of imported oil and gas, actions taken by foreign producing nations, the availability of distribution and transportation facilities and capacity thereon, the availability and price of fuels competitive with oil and gas, world and domestic demand for oil and gas and refined products, governmental regulations, environmental restrictions, drilling moratoriums and taxation. Such factors make it impracticable to predict with any degree of certainty future demand for or prices of the oil or gas produced by the Company.
 
Production of oil and gas is generally not considered to be of a seasonal nature, although severe weather conditions can temporarily curtail or preclude producing activities. Demand for natural gas is fairly constant over the entire year as a result of the increased demand for natural gas to fuel electric power generation and other commercial uses. Gas production from certain wells operated by the Company in West Virginia has been curtailed occasionally by the transporting pipeline. The Company has never experienced any other difficulties in selling any of its oil or gas.

The Company’s production of natural gas from its operated wells in the Giddings Field, Texas, is sold to ETC Texas Pipeline, Ltd. pursuant to a long standing contract expiring January 31, 2015, with an annual renewal provision which covers a number of the Company’s Texas leases. Subject to various conditions, ETC has agreed to buy all of the Company’s natural gas produced from the Giddings Field. The Company receives eighty percent (80%) of the weighted average monthly sales price for liquid products extracted from natural gas delivered to ETC and eighty percent (80%) of the resale prices for dry residual gas. Prices received by the Company are subject to deductions for taxes, compression and similar charges.
 
The Company does not believe that the loss of any one of these customers would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s revenues since there are numerous purchasers of oil and natural gas in the areas in which the Company operates.
 
Production
 
Substantially all the Company’s production of oil and natural gas in Texas is attributable to the Giddings Field located in the Austin Chalk Trend (see Item 2 – Properties) which represented 79% and 72% of total oil and gas production on an MCFE basis for 2013 and 2012, respectively. All the Company’s production of natural gas in West Virginia is attributable to the Oriskany formation of the Appalachian Basin’s Upper Devonian Section which represented 21% and 28% of total oil and natural gas production on an MCFE basis for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Drilling Activity
 
The Company did not participate in the drilling of any exploratory or development wells in 2013 or 2012. Such information should not be considered indicative of future performance or prospects of the Company. There is no necessary correlation between the number of producing wells, whether developmental or exploratory, completed during any period and the aggregate reserves or future net income generated.
 
Proved Reserves
 
The Company causes to be prepared an annual estimate of its proved oil and gas reserves. These estimates are prepared by an independent consultant in a manner consistent with generally accepted procedures for such estimates. Proved developed reserves are estimated utilizing available data including but not limited to, the wells’ geologic information, operating performance and the prevailing market conditions.
 
Proved reserve estimates for the Company’s properties as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 were taken from reserve reports dated December 31, 2013 and January 7, 2013, respectively, prepared by Hall Energy, Inc. of Magnetic Springs, Ohio, with the figures utilizing constant product prices in accordance with reporting requirements. Hall Energy, Inc. is an independent petroleum engineering concern with an emphasis in the Appalachian and Ohio Basins. All of the reserves are located on-shore within the United States.

Substantially all the Company’s proved reserves in Texas are attributable to the Giddings Field located in the Austin Chalk Trend (see Item 2 – Properties) which represented 68% and 52% of total net proved developed reserves on an MCFE basis at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All the Company’s proved reserves in West Virginia are attributable to the Oriskany formation of the Appalachian Basin’s Upper Devonian Section which represented 28% and 30% of total net proved developed reserves on an MCFE basis at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All the Company’s proved reserves in Alabama are attributable to the Deerlick Coalbed Methane Field located in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, which represented 4% and 18% of total net proved developed reserves on an MCFE basis at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
The Company has identified fifteen (15) potential development and redevelopment opportunities associated with its existing leasehold acreage in the Giddings Field located in the Austin Chalk Trend. The Company believes that the potential for the development of such locations will occur within the next few years as a result of renewed interest in the area of its properties. The prevailing oil price and the development of properties in “resource plays” in the area of the Company’s acreage are major factors contributing to such interest. At September 30, 2013, the Company has assigned probable and possible reserves to the fifteen (15) potential developmental locations.

The present value of estimated future net revenues set forth above is computed using the estimated future net revenues and a discount factor of ten percent (10%) over the projected life of each property.
 
Petroleum engineering is not an exact science. Information relating to the Company’s oil and gas reserves is based upon engineering estimates. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of the future net revenues therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the subject properties compared with production from other producing properties, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and assumptions concerning future oil and gas prices and future operating costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs, work-over and remedial costs, all of which may in fact vary from actual results. All such estimates are to some degree speculative, and classifications of reserves are only attempts to define the degree of speculation involved. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable reserves of oil and gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of the future net revenues expected therefrom, prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. The Company emphasizes that the actual production, revenues, severance and excise taxes, development expenditures and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will likely vary from such estimates, and such variances may be material. Persons should not assume that the estimates of the Company's future reserves are a guaranteed figure.
 
The present values shown above should not be construed as the current market value of the estimated oil and gas reserves attributable to the Company’s properties. In accordance with applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the estimated discounted future net revenues from proved reserves are based, generally, on prices and costs as of the date of the estimate, whereas actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower. Actual future net revenues also will be affected by factors such as actual production, supply and demand for oil and gas, curtailments or increases in consumption by gas purchasers, changes in governmental regulations or taxation, the impact of inflation on operating costs, general and administrative costs and interest expense. Estimated future production is priced at the average price received for 2013 for the amounts at September 30, 2013 and the average price received for 2012 for amounts at September 30, 2012. The method of calculating the estimated product prices is in accordance with the reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 932, Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas which the Company adopted on September 30, 2010. The timing of actual future net revenues from proved reserves, and thus their actual present value, will be affected by the timing of the incurrence of expenses in connection with development of oil and gas properties. In addition, the ten percent (10%) discount factor, which is required by the Commission to be used to calculate discounted future net revenues for reporting purposes, is not necessarily the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates in effect from time to time and risks associated with the oil and gas industry. Discounted future net revenues, no matter what discount rate is used, are materially affected by assumptions as to the timing of future production and future expenses which may and often do prove to be inaccurate.
 
Reserves Reported To Other Agencies
 
No estimates of total, proved net oil and gas reserves have been filed with or included in reports to any Federal authority or agency, other than estimates filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2013 and 2012.

NON-METALLIC MINERALS
 
Beginning at page 113 of this report, a glossary of minerals and mining terms used throughout this report is included. See Item 8 of Part II for additional information relating to the minerals activities of the Company.
 
Recent Significant Activity
 
During September 2013, the company produced saleable minerals from its zeolite mineral deposit in Texas (“Texas Zeolite”). The Company shipped 105 tons of zeolite from its Texas property to a processing and fulfillment facility in Pennsylvania. A portion of such material required additional processing and such processing was completed in October 2013. Backlog orders approximated $2,000 as of September 30, 2013. Sales of the processed and unprocessed product to identified customers commenced in October 2013. On December 16, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of extraction and crushing equipment of its contract operator of the property for $300,000. On January 16, 2014, the Company borrowed $250,000 from an unrelated party to fund the major portion of the purchase price and closed on the purchase of such equipment. The Company believes the capacity of such equipment is appropriate for anticipated extraction and crushing activities for the next three years. Depending on the level of sales activity, the Company may need to acquire or lease additional equipment. The Company has engaged a contract operator of such equipment and anticipates the commencement of larger-scale extraction activities to commence. The Company has also contracted certain micro-processing capabilities to prepare certain samples and test material.
  
General
 
The mining and marketing of non-metallic industrial minerals is highly competitive; however, the Company believes that the locations and quality of its mineral deposits will benefit its future development and sales efforts. By definition, the Company is in the Development Stage in respect to its Texas Zeolite and is in the Exploration Stage in respect to its Sierra Kaolin mineral holdings in New Mexico (“Sierra Kaolin”) and its zeolite mineral holdings in Utah (“Utah Zeolite”). During 2012 and 2013, sales of non-metallic minerals did not account for 15 percent or more of the consolidated revenue of the Company. The business of this segment has not been, and it is not anticipated that it will be, seasonal.
 
In 2005, the Company contracted Denali Enterprises to review available technical data associated with the quantification of the mineral deposits in connection with the Company’s exploration efforts. Such review reaffirmed the existence of sufficient mineral deposits to continue with such efforts. The Company’s ability to explore and develop its mineral deposits is dependent on its success in bringing in strategic partners with experience in or a demand for specific minerals and raising capital through third parties. In June 2007, the Company and Tecumseh Professional Associates, Inc. (“TPA”) entered into a Restated Development and Operating Agreement in respect to the Sierra Kaolin. Under the Restated Development and Operating Agreement the Company and TPA continued the evaluation of the Sierra Kaolin (See “Kaolin” below). The Company has continued its independent evaluation of its zeolite properties. The Company continues to sell raw zeolite to third parties as animal feed supplement and for other uses, and market its zeolite based products such as its ReNuGen™, a product utilized in wastewater treatment applications. At September 30, 2013, the Company was and continues to be involved in discussions with one or more potential joint venture partners for the development and testing of additional zeolite based products and to provide capital for market introduction.
 
Mineral Extraction
 
The Company has not established large-scale production of any of its mineral deposits at September 30, 2013. See the “Recent Significant Activity” discussed above. The Texas Zeolite extraction is conducted by an independent contractor engaged by CAM. The contemplated Sierra Kaolin extraction activities are the responsibility of TPA pursuant to the Restated Development and Operating Agreement between TPA and the Company. No extraction activities have occurred as regards the Utah Zeolite. The Company does not conduct any direct extraction activities of its own. As such, the Company is subject to costs of independent contractors for the extraction, crushing or preparation of its minerals. Any independent contractor is required to comply with all Federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances for the conduct of operations, environmental protection and safety of operations.

Pursuant to the Restated Development and Operating Agreement with TPA, (i) TPA shall earn 65 % of the net cash flow from the Sierra Kaolin operations in the event TPA develops the property, including the construction and funding of an appropriate processing facility and (ii) TPA shall be entitled to 50% of the sale proceeds in the event of a divestiture of the Sierra Kaolin property prior to its development by TPA.
 
Zeolite
 
Texas - Through September 30, 2013, the Company mined approximately 1,400 tons of material for the preparation of samples and test products and material for various environmental testing and waste purification projects; 105 tons have been sold or distributed as the Company’s trademarked ReNuGen™, a zeolite based, wastewater treatment product; and 200 tons were sold for use in certain agricultural oriented products.  The Company currently has approximately 115 tons available for product processing.
 
During fiscal 2006, the Company initiated a confirmation geologic field mapping project and commenced a resource definition program, as well as a core hole drilling and sampling program to delineate Mineralized Materials in sufficient quantities to support large scale mining operations. These efforts targeted 438 acres of the 5,200 acres held by the Company which are most likely to be subjected to initial development. During fiscal 2007, Krumrey Industrial Minerals, LLC, formerly known as KT Minerals, Inc. (“KIM”), completed the evaluation of the target area. KIM has identified 54.8 million tons of Mineralized Materials associated with the target area. At September 30, 2013, the Company is also exploring alternatives for the development and marketing of additional zeolite based products for introduction into the industrial and environmental markets. See “Recent Significant Activities” above.
 
Utah – As of September 30, 2013, the Company is not conducting any exploration activities on the Three Creek zeolite deposit.
 
Kaolin
 
The Company has 17 Federal Placer mining claims covering approximately 2,720 acres and 8 Lode claims covering approximately 160 acres covering a portion of its existing holdings. The Company has maintained all of its claims during fiscal 2013. Through September 30, 2013, the Company has not produced commercial quantities of its Sierra Kaolin. Sierra Kaolin was mined in previous years for testing by prospective customers.
 
Pursuant to the Restated Development and Operating Agreement with TPA, the pre-development evaluation program of the Company’s Sierra Kaolin claims was completed during fiscal 2010. This program focused on evaluating in detail approximately 173 acres (+/-7%) of the Company’s 2,720 acre mineral claim block which is most likely to be subjected to initial development. During fiscal 2008, KT Minerals, Inc. identified 38.0 million gross tons of Mineralized Materials based on a total of 53 verifiable drill holes representing 6,310 feet of subsurface material.

In 1965, twenty core holes were drilled which produced 3,087 feet of core samples. In 1976, 17 core holes were drilled which produced 1,784 feet of core samples. During fiscal 2005, 16 core holes were drilled on a 32 acre area from which 1,442 feet of subsurface material was recovered. During fiscal year 2006, this subsurface material was broken down into over 600 samples which were subjected to detailed testing at three different laboratories. The testing phase of the project included roughly 20,000 tests which now comprise an extensive Sierra Kaolin data base. This data base was then utilized by the consulting firm of Pincock, Allen & Holt to develop detailed geologic models of the Sierra Kaolin deposit test area. Based on this work, it was determined that this 32 acre core tested area contained approximately 1.4 million tons of gross Mineralized Materials.
 
KIM conducted a re-evaluation of the potential Kaolin Mineralized Materials associated with the project. The KIM re-evaluation considered the geologic and compositional data available from prior studies and incorporated the results of the mineral processing study completed by Ginn Mineral Technology, Inc. (“GMT”). Based on the GMT study, a greater percentage of the project’s in situ minerals may be processed into marketable material as compared to prior indications. In addition, KIM evaluated and expanded the study area outside of the 32 acres encompassed by the TPA coring program to include acreage penetrated by an additional 53 historical core holes from which verifiable data could be obtained. As a result, KIM evaluated approximately 264 acres of the project and identified approximately 38.0 million tons of gross Mineralized Materials.
 
TPA has proceeded with the next phases of the project which included: (i) further work to quantify Mineralized Materials; (ii) product identification and development; (iii) preparation of detail process flow sheets; and (iv) the establishment of equipment specifications, as well as marketing and capital requirements. In December 2009, the Sierra Kaolin Open Pit Clay Mine project cleared the regulatory review and the project’s definitive USDA Forest Service Plan of Operations was approved. This will facilitate the project moving to the next phase. These activities will continue in fiscal 2014.
 
Marketing of Minerals and Marketing Agreements
 
In December 2004, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for development of Sierra Kaolin Deposit (“MOU”) with TPA for the management, development, exploration and marketing of the Company’s Sierra Kaolin claims, located in Sierra County, New Mexico (see Exhibit 10.9).
 
Under the Company’s March 11, 2005 and June 7, 2007 agreements with TPA (see Exhibits 10.12 and 10.17, respectively), TPA has assumed the duties to mine, test, exploit, and market the Company’s Sierra Kaolin deposit.
  
On July 3, 2012, CAMI entered into an operating agreement for ZeoSure LLC (“ZLLC”) as one of ZLLC’s two managing members. ZLLC was formed for the purpose of developing human consumption products including but not limited to detoxification and digestive supplements and human consumable products utilizing CAPI’S Clinoptilolite zeolite mineral focusing on markets throughout the world with a primary emphasis on markets in the United States and Asia. CAMI and SafeHatch LLC, an entity controlled by an individual previously affiliated with the Musser Group, are the managing members and each owns 47.5% of ZLLC. The remaining 5% of ZLLC is owned by the Musser Group.  The members of ZLLC intend to seek initial capital of $1 million from third parties and enter into product marketing and distribution agreements with participants active within the dietary supplements market. The operating agreement has not been ratified by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. ZLLC is seeking initial capital and attempting to identify viable product marketing and distribution partners. The Company has contracted certain micro-processing capabilities to prepare certain samples and clinical trial test material for ZLLC.
 
On March 25, 2013, in connection with the SPA with FEI and DTE, the Company entered into an Exclusive Sales Agency and Marketing Agreement with FEI (the “FEI Marketing Agreement”). The FEI Marketing Agreement grants to FEI the right to act as the Company’s exclusive marketing and sales agent for natural resources products produced, mined and/or sold by the Company, excluding certain human consumption products, in Asia excluding the nation of India. The Company is required to pay a monthly fee of $10,000 to an affiliate of FEI for 18 months. Through September 30, 2013, no sales have occurred relating to the FEI Marketing Agreement.
 
During April 2013, the Company hired a Vice President of Sales. Management of the Company directs the activities pertaining to the Company’s zeolite minerals and participates in the decisions regarding the agreement with TPA in respect to the marketing of the Sierra Kaolin.
 
In October 2013, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with an independent party in respect to such party’s distribution of the Company’s zeolite material for industrial absorption applications in the states of Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington.

Government Regulations
 
Oil and Natural Gas
 
There are statutory and/or regulatory provisions regulating the Company’s oil and natural gas operations. These statutes allow administrative agencies to promulgate regulations in connection with the development, production and sale of oil and natural gas, and to establish allowable rates of production.
 
The Company’s activities are subject to laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Although the cost of compliance with such legislation and regulations has not been material to date, such laws and regulations could substantially increase the cost of carrying on these activities and could prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. The Company believes that existing legislation and regulations have had no material adverse effect on its present method of operations. In the future, Federal, state and local environmental controls may require the Company to make significant expenditures, but neither the probability nor the magnitude of the expenditures, if any, can be predicted.
 
The discharge of oil, natural gas or the by-products of drilling, reworking and producing oil and natural gas into the air, soil or water may give rise to potential liabilities for the restoration of the environment and to third parties. A variety of Federal and state laws and regulations govern the environmental aspects of the production, transportation and processing of hydrocarbons and may, in addition to other laws and regulations, impose liability in the event of a discharge or seepage (whether or not accidental). Compliance with such laws and regulations could increase the cost of the exploration, production and development of oil and natural gas reserves. The Company does not currently anticipate that compliance will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to continue in the exploration, development or production of its existing reserves and the development and/or acquisition of new reserves.
 
The Company does not believe that its environmental risks are materially different from those of comparable companies in the oil and gas industry. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all existing rules and regulations. No assurance can be given, however, that environmental laws will not, in the future, result in more onerous regulations causing a marked increase in the cost of production, development and exploration or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s operations or financial ability to maintain its existing reserves. Although the Company maintains insurance coverage for certain liabilities, to include insurance to cover specific environmental risks, such as seepage or discharge, other environmental risks may not be fully insurable.
 
Mineral Interests
 
The Company’s activities are subject to Federal and state laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control, safety rules as prescribed by Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the provisions of the 1872 Mining Law and the 1976 Federal Land Policy Management Act. At present, the Company does not intend to engage in mining activities on its own. The Company intends to retain, and has to date retained, the services of outside contractors to carry out such activities. The Company believes that such practices may result in substantial savings in the future. The Company’s Sierra Kaolin and Utah Zeolite are on Federal lands. As such, the Company must also comply with the rules and regulations imposed for the development of Federal mining claims. The Texas Zeolite is on fee and leased acreage and is subject to Federal and state laws and regulations governing open pit extraction.
 
Transportation
 
Oil and Gas
 
All of the Company’s oil is shipped via the tank trucks of the respective purchasers. Currently the majority of the Company’s natural gas is sold to interstate carriers. The Company moves its gas to the interstate carriers over a gathering system owned by the Company or joint venture partners in the Company's wells. The Company has experienced no difficulty in moving or selling its gas. The Company is not a regulated interstate/intrastate carrier of natural gas and as such it is not a regulated pipeline under the National Gas Policy Act of 1983, the National Gas Act of 1938 or as a common carrier by applicable state agencies.
 
Mineral Interests
 
All of the Company’s mineral deposits are serviced by all-weather paved or unpaved roads. The Texas Zeolite property is adjacent to a railroad line that can be utilized to transport minerals to market. The Utah Zeolite and Sierra Kaolin deposits also have access to rail lines but will require over-land transport prior to rail transport.

Partnerships
 
DRI sponsored Deerlick Royalty Partners I (“DRP”) which was formed in April 1993. As the managing general partner, DRI is subject to full liability for the obligations of DRP although it is entitled to indemnification to the extent of the assets of DRP. As “partnership programs” constitute a “security” under the Securities Act of 1933, DRI is also subject to potential liability for failure to comply with applicable Federal and state securities laws and regulations. DRP owns overriding royalty interests covering 2,043 gross acres in the Deerlick Creek Coalbed Methane field located in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama.
 
Acquisitions/Mergers
 
Oil and Gas Segment
 
During the past two fiscal years, the Company has not participated in any mergers. During 2013, the Company did not incur any property acquisition, exploration or development costs. During 2012, the Company (1) incurred $47,078 of acquisition costs of proved developed producing properties and (2) did not incur any exploration or development costs.
 
Minerals Segment
 
During the past two fiscal years, the Company has not participated in any mergers. During 2013 and 2012, the Company did not incur any property acquisition, exploration or development costs.
 
Patent and License Agreement
 
Patent
 
As part of the acquisition of Clean Age Minerals, Inc., the Company also acquired U.S. Patent No. 5,387,738. This patent, owned by Clean Age Minerals, Inc. (previously owned by Matrix-Loc, Inc., which was acquired by Clean Age Minerals, Inc., as a result of Matrix-Loc’s merger with Clean Age Minerals, Inc., as of March 18, 2002), deals with a reagent and process for the remediation of water and contaminated soils. Such patent was based upon an engineered product which utilizes all naturally occurring non-hazardous minerals for the remediation of sites contaminated with hazardous and/or toxic materials. Such patent expired on February 7, 2012. Typically, the remediation of these sites is necessary in order to meet quality control regulation for air, land and water enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency and various other state and Federal environmental regulatory agencies. Such engineered products are marketed by CAMI as CA Series Engineered products. Each of these engineered environmental products is designed for specific project site requirements based on the nature of the on-site contaminant, the size of the project and specific treatment requirements.
 
The CA Series engineered products have been proven effective, through the use of a catalytically enhanced chemical exchange process, in permanently changing many hazardous metals to a non-hazardous state and, through molecular sieve and/or absorption processes, in removing many hazardous hydrocarbon and nitrate contaminants in connection with site remediation projects.
 
The processing of contaminated materials using the CA Series technology is designed as an on-site operation. Internal studies have shown that because the CA Series engineered products are designed to be used at the remediation project site, substantial cost savings can be generated as compared to other remediation methods requiring extraction, removal and incineration. The on-site use of CA Series engineered products can provide a complete and permanent environmental cleanup of the hazardous materials in that the treated materials are converted into non-hazardous permanently non-leachable substances that can remain in place. Through laboratory and field tests, the CA Series Engineered products have been proven to be effective in the remediation of contamination caused by hydrocarbons and petroleum products, chemicals and toxic metallic compounds in rendering the toxic and hazardous materials to a permanently non-toxic and non-hazardous stage.
 
During 2013, the Company filed several provisional patents relating to the use of their CA Series engineered products in various novel systems and processes. Specifically, the provisional patents relate to a system and method for applying a zeolitic material useful for converting a contaminated waste material that is environmentally unacceptable, to a relatively harmless substance which is environmentally acceptable, and, more particularly, applying a material with an effective amount of zeolite for treating waste water. Additional processes include utilizing similar system designs in acid mine drainage, animal feed, agriculture, aquaculture, and other industrial purposes.

License Agreement
 
In February 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of sanitary wastewaters. Such patents utilize the Company’s zeolite. The license applies to the US and covers the use of the patented technology in water, wastewater and waste treatment in animal feed operations, agriculture, and aquaculture. In addition, the license applies to the treatment of sanitary wastewater on Federal facilities, military bases and lands administered by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs. The initial period of the agreement was for three years; thereafter, the agreement shall automatically renew for additional consecutive terms of five years unless the Company gives the other parties not less than ninety (90) days written notice prior to the end of the existing term of its election not to renew the agreement for an additional term. The Company is required to pay a royalty to the licensor based on the license fees received from sub-licensees of the Company that employ the licensed process or processes. The Company has made the minimum annual payment of $12,000 to maintain the License Agreement.
 
Trademarks
 
The Company has a trademark for the Company’s “ReNuGen™”, a product used to enhance the efficacy of conventional waste water treatment plants. During 2013, the Company applied for a trademark for its two additional engineered, zeolite-based products, Cite-CleanTM and ZoilTechTM.   Cite-CleanTM is an all-natural mineral based non-hazardous absorbent. The Cite-CleanTM product has been tested and proven effective in various industrial, commercial and do-it-yourself residential settings for the absorption and retention of fluids.  ZoilTechTM is a natural mineral based environmentally friendly soil treatment. The ZoilTechTM product has been tested and shown to be effective in enhancing moisture retention, balancing nutrient levels and controlling odors in commercial and residential applications.
 
Employees and Contract Services
 
At September 30, 2013, the Company has four employees and engages the services of its Chief Accounting Officer pursuant to his employment agreement, as amended.
 
On February 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with the Musser Group, LLC (“Musser Group”) to perform consulting services for the Company and such agreement has been extended through February 2014. The Company engaged the Musser Group, an independent contractor, to provide advisory and consulting services to the Company. The Musser Group is engaged to provide (i) managed services; (ii) strategic business planning and implementation; and (iii) assistance in directing and executing the implementation of any strategies approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Musser Group’s primary focus is the analysis and validation of market opportunities for the commercialization of products within the Company’s mineral segment.
 
In March 2013, the Company engaged an investor relations firm to assist management in such activities for one year. The Company issued 600,000 shares (valued at $0.11 per share) of Common Stock to the IR Firm and such contract requires monthly payments of cash of $5,000 during the term of the agreement.
 
On April 1, 2013, pursuant to the SPA, the Company entered into an agreement with a law firm for an attorney to perform legal services for and representation of the Company for a flat fee of $5,000 per month. Such attorney represented FEI and DTE in connection with the SPA.

OIL AND NATURAL GAS INTERESTS
 
Texas
 
Substantially all of the Texas properties are located in the Austin Chalk Trend in Burleson, Brazos and Lee Counties, Texas. The Austin Chalk Trend consists of the Austin Chalk, Buda, Georgetown and Edwards formations, extends for approximately 300 miles in length and 50 miles across, and is encountered at depths of 5,500 to 18,000 feet. These reservoirs are generally of low permeability. Historically, these formations were considered to be economically marginal except in areas where the reservoir rocks are highly fractured. In later years, stimulation by mechanical fracturing of the rock resulted in increasing hydrocarbon recoveries and extensive development of the Trend. Ongoing technical developments using horizontal drilling techniques allow the well bore to intersect, if present, series of vertical fracture systems instead of a single one, thus resulting in higher rates of production and recoverable reserves, at the cost of a more expensive drilling effort. Whether an individual well will be economic, even if horizontally drilled, depends largely upon intersecting fractured portions of the formation, which cannot be predicted. Certain locales appear to contain more fracturing than others. It is not unusual for an individual well to produce as much as forty percent (40%) of the primary recoverable reserves during the first two years of production and the remainder over a period of ten to fifteen years. The Company is presently evaluating joint venturing with third parties to develop its Texas Properties. The Company operates twenty-five (25) wells and owns a working interest in a well that it does not operate in Texas.
 
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
 
The Company’s hydrocarbon production in West Virginia is in the producing zone of the Oriskany formation of the Appalachian Basin’s Upper Devonian Section. The Company has working interests in two wells in West Virginia for which it acts as operator. The Company operates two wells in which it owns no working interest and owns overriding royalty interests in two other wells which it does not operate that produce from the Balltown Formation in Pennsylvania.
 
Alabama
 
DRIOP acts as the managing general partner of DRP. DRP owns an overriding royalty interest in 70 wells located in the Deerlick Creek Coalbed Methane Field in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, in the Black Warrior Basin.
 
Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks
 
The Company’s oil and gas operations are subject to all of the risks normally incident to the exploration for and production of oil and gas, including mechanical failures, blow-outs, cratering, pollution and fires, each of which could result in damage to or destruction of oil and gas wells or production facilities or damage to persons and property. While the Company maintains $3,000,000 of all risks liability policies in amounts that it believes are adequate, the insurance may not cover all potential operational risks. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured against could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. In the coming year, the Company plans to seek participation in certain types of exploratory or developmental drilling prospects. In these instances, the Company has historically expanded its insurance coverage to cover the specific risk associated with those types of operations. The Company will continue to conduct its normal day-to-day activities as operator of its wells.

Title to Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company’s interests in producing and non-producing acreage are in the form of direct or indirect interests in leases. Each of its properties is subject to customary royalty interests in amounts prevailing in the area in which the oil and gas lease was taken, overriding royalty interests, liens incident to operating agreements, liens for current taxes and other burdens and mineral encumbrances and restrictions. The Company believes that none of these burdens materially interferes with the use of such properties, in the operation of the Company’s business or the profitability of the Company’s investment therein.
 
As is customary in the oil and gas industry, only a preliminary investigation of title may be made at the time of acquisition of undeveloped properties. Detailed investigations are generally made, including, in most cases, receiving a title opinion of local counsel, prior to the commencement of drilling operations. A thorough examination of title was performed with respect to substantially all of the Company’s producing properties. Also, prior to the acquisition of properties, the Company has received an opinion of title, satisfactory to counsel to the Company, on a majority (in value) of the assets acquired. The Company believes that it has defensible title to substantially all of its properties.
 
MINERAL INTERESTS
 
Minerals Holdings
 
CAPI owns fee title interest, leasehold interests and Federal mining claims containing non-metallic minerals in the States of Texas, New Mexico and Utah. Title to and rights in the properties are held by CAPI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAMI.
 
Texas
 
Marfa Zeolite
 
CAPI is the lessee under a 5,200 acre lease containing high grade zeolite, located 32 miles south of Marfa in Presidio County, Texas. The lease terms call for royalty payments of $3.00 per ton of zeolite removed from the property with a minimum royalty of $30,000 per year which is due annually through November 2014. The lease can be extended for eight successive periods of ten years each. CAPI has the option to terminate the annual royalty payments by paying a lump sum of $400,000. CAPI owns, in fee, approximately 188 acres of land encompassed by and contained within the bounds of the 5,200 acre zeolite leasehold. During each of 2013 and 2012, the Company paid the minimum royalty of $30,000.
  
Location
 
The Company's zeolite deposit is located 32 miles south of Marfa, Texas, on State Highway 169, then 2 miles west on an all-weather dirt road. A railroad is immediately adjacent to the Company's leasehold and fee mineral interests. The Company's leasehold and fee mineral holdings are on private property. For a map of the location of the Company’s zeolite deposit, see Exhibit 99.1.
 
Geologic Setting
 
The zeolite bearing formation is an altered tuffaceous material that is exposed in several road cuts in the area. The zeolite present is the mineral Clinoptilolite.
 
New Mexico
 
Sierra Kaolin
 
CAPI owns 17 placer mining claims on 2,720 acres and 8 Lode claims covering 160 acres, all located in Sierra County, New Mexico, encompassing its Sierra Kaolin deposit.  The Federal mining claims are burdened by a royalty interest of 7% of net proceeds derived from mining operations. TPA paid $20,160 to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) in 2013 and 2012 to maintain CAPI’s Federal mineral claims. Such payment by TPA was in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Development and Operating Agreement (See Exhibit 10.17) with the Company.
 
 
18

 
Location
 
The Sierra Kaolin claims are located on a paved road (State Highway 59) near Winston, NM, some 40 miles west of Truth or Consequences, NM. The claims are located on Federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. For a map of the location of the Company’s Kaolin claims, see Exhibit 99.1.
 
Geologic Setting
 
The Sierra Kaolin project lies near the eastern margin of the Datil-Mogollon volcanic field, a region dominated by Tertiary caldera-related volcanic rocks.
 
The Sierra Kaolin is considered to be a primary hydrothermal deposit that was formed in situ. The Sierra Kaolin is part of an advanced argillic alteration assemblage that includes kaolinite (AI4(Si4O10)(OH)8) and related mineral species, possibly including dickite and halloysite, alunite (KAI3(OH)8(SO4)2) and chalcedonic and/or opaline quartz (hydrous amorphous silica).
 
Utah
 
Beaver Zeolite
 
CAPI owns 11 placer mining claims (Three Creek) covering approximately 220 acres of zeolite located in Beaver County, Utah. The Company considers the zeolite in this deposit to be of a high grade.  During 2013 and 2012, the Company paid $6,160 to the Bureau of Land Management to maintain its federal mining claims.
  
Location
 
The Beaver zeolite claims are located on a paved road (State Highway 153) 18 miles east of Beaver, Utah. The claims are on Federal Lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. For a map of the location of the Company’s Utah zeolite claims, see Exhibit 99.1.
 
Geologic Setting
 
The deposit is geologically located in an altered tuffaceous formation associated with widespread volcanic activity of the area.
 
Mining
 
The Company has periodically extracted zeolite from its deposit in Texas through the use of contract miners. The mining of all of the Company’s mineral deposits is exclusively conducted through surface mining. The quantities of extracted volumes were commensurate with demands for the minerals and to comply with the Company's lease obligations. The Company, under its agreements with Tecumseh Professional Associates, Inc. (“TPA”) (see Exhibits 10.12 and 10.17) extracted sufficient quantities of Sierra Kaolin for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the mineral’s commercial properties. All of the extraction of the Company's current mineral holdings is expected to be done by surface mining. At each of the locations, the areas disturbed by extractive operations have been limited to initial ten acre permit sites in New Mexico and under 100 acres in Texas in accordance with applicable state regulations. 
 
The Company's Texas zeolite deposit will be mined on a periodic basis to meet existing obligations and to support development of new and emerging markets. Initial production of the Company’s Sierra Kaolin has been conducted by TPA for testing. Commercial development and marketing will be conducted in accordance with the Sierra Kaolin Restated Development and Operating Agreement (See Exhibit 10.17). In December 2009, the Sierra Kaolin Open Pit Clay Mine project cleared the regulatory review. The project’s definitive USDA Forest Service Plan of Operations has been approved.
 
At the present time, as a result of its limited activities on its mineral properties, the Company believes that its share of the reclamation costs currently associated with its activities is approximately $10,000.

Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks
 
The Company’s minerals operations are subject to all of the risks normally incident to the exploration for and production of non-metallic industrial minerals, including mechanical failures, pollution and fires, each of which could result in damage to or destruction of production facilities or damage to persons and property. While the Company maintains $3,000,000 of all risks liability policies in amounts that it believes are adequate, the insurance may not cover all potential operational risks. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured against could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company has historically expanded its insurance coverage to cover the specific risk associated with its operations.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
 
During October 2009, a working interest owner commenced an action against a subsidiary of the Company (“WRC”) in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, for an accounting of expenses and revenues for six wells. WRC, through its Texas counsel, had filed a general denial of the claim. In November 2009, WRC provided the plaintiff with a complete accounting for all wells in question. The plaintiff sought additional discovery and WRC provided additional information. During July 2012, WRC and certain owners of overriding royalty and working interests in oil and gas wells operated by WRC agreed to the general terms of a settlement agreement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement (effective September 1, 2012), WRC paid $120,000 in cash for (i) settlement of all amounts due from WRC to such certain owners and (ii) the acquisition of the working interest ownership position of the respective entities. The parties entered into mutual releases and the litigation was terminated with prejudice.
 
The Company is a party to certain pending legal proceedings in Burleson County, Texas, each seeking to terminate WRC’s leasehold interest for failure to further develop the respective leases, for an accounting and for failure to properly pay royalties. WRC has filed a denial of all claims. The royalties in question were held in suspense due to the death of the royalty owner and the failure of the heirs to give WRC timely notice of their inheritance. Additionally, under Texas law, since the leases were properly being held by production from commercial wells, WRC was not obligated to undertake additional drilling on the leases to develop other productive reservoirs. WRC, through its Texas litigation counsel, are seeking to amicably resolve these suits. Should these two suits be timely resolved, the leases affected by these suits will be part of the sale of the deep rights on February 17, 2014 (see Recent Significant Activity - Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement included in Item 1).
 
Management of the Company believes such proceedings to be ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business as discussed in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
 
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
 
None.

PART II
 
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
 
Description of Securities
 
Pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 150 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 20 million shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share. During June 2013, DRC’s authorized shares of common stock were increased to 150 million shares from 100 million shares. Below is a description of the Company’s outstanding securities, including common stock, preferred stock, options, warrants and convertible debt.
 
Common Stock
 
Each holder of the Company’s common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, conversion, or redemption rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive the Company’s net assets pro rata. Each holder of common stock is entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock and does not contemplate doing so in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that any earnings generated from operations will be used to finance its growth. As of September 30, 2013, there were 72,468,458 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
 
 
20

 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, with no voting power.  As of September 30, 2013, there were: no shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding; 135,000 shares of Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding.  The Series B Preferred Stock (stated value of $10.00 per share) was issued in the acquisition of Clean Age Minerals, Inc. in September 2000. The Series B Preferred Stock can be converted to common stock at 85% of the average closing price of the 5 days before the date of conversion with a minimum amount of $1.25 per share. Thus, at September 30, 2013, the 135,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were convertible into 1,080,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
Further, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (i) earn dividends at the rate of 8% per annum computed on the basis of a 365 day year, and (ii) have priority in liquidation to the extent of the stated value of $10.00 per share plus any unpaid dividends over any other preferred stock, common stock or any other stock issued after September 19, 2000. At September 30, 2013, the liquidation preference totals $3,392,239 (stated value of $1,350,000 plus arrearages in cumulative dividends of $2,042,239).

Common Equity
 
As of September 30, 2013, the current outstanding amount of shares of common stock was 72,468,458 with approximately 2,000 holders of record (inclusive of brokerage house "street accounts").
 
Preferred Equity
 
As of September 30, 2013, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and there were 16 holders of the 135,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
 
Dividends
 
Common Stock - The Company has never paid a dividend on its common stock. The Company has no plans to pay any dividends on its common stock in the near future. The Company intends to retain all earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future for use in its business operations.
 
Series A Preferred Stock - No shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued during 2013 and 2012. No shares were outstanding at September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
 
 
21

 
Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock - No shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value of $0.01 per share, were issued during 2013 and 2012. During 2012, 10,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 80,000 shares of Common Stock as discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, there were no cash dividend payments in respect to the Series B Preferred Stock.
 
The only dividends paid prior to fiscal 2012 on the Company's Series B Preferred Stock were in shares of Common Stock at the time of conversion of the respective shares of such Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
 
At September 30, 2011, dividends payable on shares of Series B Preferred Stock totaled $1,914,558. At September 30, 2010, dividends payable totaled $1,857,895 - Series A of $59,338 and Series B of $1,798,557. As of October 1, 2011, the beginning of 2012, the Company no longer accrues dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock due to the very low probability that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will elect to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock. Also, the Company is not required to pay dividends by issuing shares of its Common Stock. The Company intends to pay dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock when its financial condition makes any such payment appropriate.
 
During the third quarter of 2012, Carl Haessler, a Director at that time, accepted 73,854 shares of Common Stock as satisfaction for any and all dividends due him ($92,318 of which $88,319 were accrued) in respect to his direct holdings of 30,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock through the date of the conversion of 10,000 of such shares. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
At September 30, 2013, the arrearages in cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock totals $2,042,239, of which $1,826,239 has been accrued (see Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

FEI/DTE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
On March 25, 2013, the Company finalized a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Far East Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company (“FEI”) and DTE Investment Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“DTE”) (hereinafter FEI and DTE are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Investors” and individually as an “Investor”). The Investors paid the Company $1.5 million for 15 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 (“Common Stock”) and warrants for the purchase of up to a total of 18 million shares of Common Stock to the Investors (“FEI/DTE Warrants”). The FEI/DTE Warrants have a term of five (5) years (“Term”) and may be exercised at a price of $0.20 per share (“Exercise Price”). In the third through fifth years of the Term, the Exercise Price may be satisfied by exchanging Common Stock at the current market price. The FEI/DTE Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Term. See Note 9.
 
Under the SPA for so long as the Investors retain 51% or more of the Common Stock issued under the SPA (7,650,000 shares), the Investors are entitled to request that the Company nominate for election, by the shareholders of the Company at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, two persons suitable to serve as directors of the Company.
 
A provision of the Agreement requires that the Company shall not make any public announcement or statement concerning the Agreement other than that which the Company is required to disclose on Form 8-K and other required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company, consistent with its obligations under the securities laws, is required to seek confidential treatment of the information set forth in the Annex and Exhibits to the SPA.
 
OIL AND NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS
 
See Notes 3, 13 and 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Oil and Gas Sales
 
Oil and gas sales increased to $404,225 for 2013 from $373,443 for 2012. See the table above in respect to production, average prices and lease operating expenses and production and severance taxes per Mcfe. The average price per Mcfe of sales of oil and gas production increased 3% and oil and gas production (on a Mcfe basis) increased 5%. The increase in total production experienced during 2013 is primarily a result of wells being brought back “on-line” (certain wells had been “off-line” during 2012 and a portion of 2013 for repair) which offset the anticipated decline in production from the wells and the Company purchasing working interests in certain wells during the fourth quarter of 2012. At September 30, 2013, two wells in Texas were off-line awaiting repairs to certain mechanical items such as tubing, rods, down-hole pumps and/or pumping units. Generally, a well is off-line for less than two months; however, rig availability from third party contractors impacts the timing of the well work.
 
In September 2013, WRC received an enforcement action from the Texas Railroad Commission (“RRC”). Due to the enforcement action, the renewal of WRC’s operator's permit was suspended until such action is resolved.  Certain of WRC’s operated wells continue to pump and oil is stored oil in production tanks. Certain of WRC’s operated wells are not producing as the respective production tanks have reached their capacity limitations. WRC is not permitted to sell oil until its operator’s permit is renewed.  As such, the Company's consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2014 will be significantly lower than the first quarter of 2013. Depending on the timing of the resolution of the renewal of such permit, the Company's consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2014 may also be higher or lower than the second quarter of 2013.  Management of the company anticipates the renewal of the operator’s permit to be completed during the second quarter of 2014; however there can be no assurances as to when the renewal of WRC’s operator’s permit will be approved by the RRC and when the sales of oil from WRC’s operated properties will resume. WRC’s operated properties in Texas produced 362 net barrels of oil but WRC had no oil sales from such properties. During the first quarter of 2013, WRC’s operated properties in Texas produced 493 net barrels of oil, WRC sold 574 net barrels of oil from such properties and WRC recognized oil revenue of $53,094 from such properties.  
 
Gain on Sale of Oil and Gas Properties
 
On January 20, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell certain oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights for cash of $898,335, subject to adjustment as to any title defect that is not cured within the timeframe permitted by the purchase and sale agreement. The sale closed on March 28, 2012. The Company received $898,335 at the closing and recognized gain in the amount of proceeds received. The oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights that were sold were undeveloped, and as such not income-producing to the Company.
 
Well Management Revenue
 
Well management revenue decreased 9% to $262,813 for 2013 from $287,446 for 2012. The decrease is primarily the result of the Company purchasing working interests in certain wells during the fourth quarter of 2012. The amounts which may be charged by the Company for well management are set forth in the joint operating agreements governing the wells operated by the Company.
 
Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes
 
Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes for 2013 increased 28% from 2012. Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Tax totaled $259,683 for 2013 and $202,905 for 2012. Expenses incurred to restore production from certain wells as discussed above totaled $50,330 and $41,919 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The balance of the increase experienced during 2013 is primarily a result of the Company purchasing working interests in certain wells during the fourth quarter of 2012.
 
 
27

  
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization - Oil and Gas
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) – Oil and Gas totaled $48,000 for 2013 and $60,000 for 2012. This 20% decrease is primarily the result of the upward revision of proved developed reserves at the end of 2012 resulting primarily from the increase in estimated future production from certain wells being brought back “on-line” during 2012.
 
MINERALS OPERATIONS
 
See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
The Company is in the Development Stage in respect to its Texas Zeolite and is in the Exploration Stage in respect to its Sierra Kaolin mineral holdings in New Mexico and its zeolite mineral holdings in Utah.
 
Minerals Sales
 
Minerals sales (zeolite) increased 36% to $7,652 for 2013 from $5,626 for 2012. This increase in mineral sales primarily resulted from initial shipments of product generated by the increased sales efforts of the Company (see “COMMERCIALIZATION OF EXISTING ASSETS” below).
 
Minerals Exploration Expenses
 
The Company did not incur minerals exploration expenses during 2013 and 2012. Minerals exploration expenses are primarily for costs associated with the exploration of the mineral deposits and quantification of Mineralized Materials. These expenses are primarily for costs associated with the exploration and quantification of mineral resources and mineral reserves. Such expenses related to the Sierra Kaolin property were the responsibility of the operator of the property, Tecumseh Professional Associates, Inc.
 
Minerals Operating Expenses and Other Costs
 
Minerals operating expenses and other costs increased 57% to $30,083 for 2013 from $19,121 for 2012. The increase primarily resulted from research and development expenditures of $7,956 in 2013 as compared to no such expenditures in 2012. During each of 2013 and 2012, the Company paid $6,160 to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) to maintain its federal mining claims in Utah. Tecumseh Professional Associates, Inc. (“TPA”) paid $20,160 to the BLM in each of 2013 and 2012 to maintain CAPI’s Federal mineral claims in New Mexico. Such payment by TPA was in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Development and Operating Agreement with the Company.
 
DD&A - Minerals
 
DD&A - minerals totaled $4,556 for 2013 and $253,612 for 2012. Such amounts represent amortization of Patent Rights and Patent License Rights. The Company’s patent expired in February 2012.
 
Once the Company produces commercial quantities of any of its mineral deposits, the Company will use the unit-of-production method in calculating cost depletion.
 
Impairment of Prepaid Mineral Royalties
 
As part of our annual impairment test as of September 30, 2013, and in connection with the Company entering the production phase of its Texas Zeolite minerals in the fourth quarter of 2013, we assessed the estimated future benefit of the royalty advances paid.  This assessment was based on the expected production from the mineral properties.  Although we are optimistic about the future cash flow of our mineral properties, the future results from our sales efforts and market growth cannot be assured.  Based upon this information, we have determined that we are uncertain when we will be able to realize the prepaid mineral royalties and that these assets may not be recoverable through future operations; therefore, we recognized an impairment expense of $539,237 in 2013. 
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
These expenses increased 27% to $1,672,371 for 2013 as compared to $1,318,177 for 2012.
 
The Company incurred compensation expense of $284,500 and $87,500 during 2013 and 2012, respectively, in connection with the employment of a new CEO in May 2012. On April 22, 2013, the Company employed its Vice President of Sales. During 2013, the Company incurred expenses, including salary, of $76,270 in connection with its increased marketing activities relating to its zeolite.
 
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $148,109 and $97,326 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
In connection with the SPA, the Company entered into an Exclusive Sales Agency and Marketing Agreement with FEI (“FEI Marketing Agreement”). The FEI Marketing Agreement grants to FEI the right to act as the Company’s exclusive marketing and sales agent for natural resources products produced, mined and/or sold by the Company, excluding the Company’s ZeoSure products, in Asia excluding the nation of India. From April through September 2013, in connection with the FEI Marketing Agreement, the Company paid $60,000 to Far East Investments (USA) LLC, an affiliate of FEI. Through September 30, 2013, no sales transactions relating to the Marketing Agreement had occurred.
 
 
28

  
The Company recorded amortization expense of $151,237 and $366,575 in 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the consulting services agreement fees paid to individuals associated with the Musser Group in 2011. The Company recorded amortization expense of $35,441 and consulting fee expense of $30,000 in 2013 related to the investor relations firm consulting services agreement. The Company incurred additional legal expense of $30,000 in 2013 related to a legal services agreement with the Secretary of the Company. See “CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENTS” below.
 
Provision for Doubtful Accounts – Proceeds Receivable from Prior Sale of Oil and Gas Properties
 
As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, management of the Company believes that the collection of a portion of a $50,000 receivable relating to the sale of certain oil and gas properties during 2008 is in doubt. Accordingly, the Company recognized a provision for doubtful accounts of $25,000 during 2012.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE
 
Interest expense decreased 16% to $262,630 for 2013 as compared to $313,371 for 2012. The decrease of $50,741 is primarily attributable to (1) a decrease in amortization expense and (2) a decrease in interest expense as a result of payments of certain debt obligations in 2012 and 2013. During 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $6,648 and $31,605, respectively, as interest expense regarding the amortization of discounts on debt issuances.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVABLE AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE
 
As of September 30, 2013, management of the Company believes that the collection of the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to a certain note receivable is in doubt (see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). As of September 30, 2012, the Company changed to the recovery method in accounting for the certain notes receivable and interest thereon. Accordingly, the principal and interest will be recorded when, and if, collected. This change to the recovery method resulted in the recognition of $207,025 as an impairment of the interest receivable at September 30, 2012.
 
Gain on debt forgiveness
 
During 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized gain on debt forgiveness of $112,330 and $43,655, respectively, as discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENTS
 
Musser Group, LLC
 
On February 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with the Musser Group, LLC (“Musser Group”) to perform consulting services for the Company through February 2013. During February 2013, the agreement was extended through February 2014 at no cost to the Company. The Company has engaged the Musser Group, an independent contractor, to provide advisory and consulting services to the Company. The Musser Group is engaged to provide (i) managed services; (ii) strategic business planning and implementation; and (iii) assistance in directing and executing the implementation of any strategies approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Musser Group’s primary focus is the analysis and validation of market opportunities for the commercialization of products within the Company’s mineral segment. See “COMMERCIALIZATION OF EXISTING ASSETS” below.
 
The Company issued 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock to individuals associated with the Musser Group in connection with the initial Consulting Services Agreement with the Musser Group. Also, the Company issued to individuals associated with the Musser Group warrants for the purchase of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants may not be exercised unless and until the average bid and asking closing price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds $1.00 per share for a period of thirty consecutive trading days. The warrants are exercisable through February 24, 2016. The Company filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form S-8 for the shares of Common Stock issued to individuals associated with the Musser Group. The Company determined the fair value of the shares of Common Stock and the warrants issued to individuals associated with the Musser Group to be $735,153 and recorded such amount as prepaid consulting fees. The prepaid consulting fees were amortized over the life of the respective agreement.
 
 
29

  
Investor Relations Firm
 
In March 2013, the Company engaged an investor relations firm (“IR Firm”) to assist management in such activities for one year. The Company issued 600,000 shares (valued at $0.11 per share) of Common Stock to the IR Firm and such contract requires monthly payments of cash of $5,000 during the term of the agreement. The Company is amortizing the prepaid consulting fees of $66,000 over the term of the contract with the IR Firm and unamortized consulting fees total $30,559 at September 30, 2013.
 
Legal Services
 
On April 1, 2013, in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.1 of the SPA, the Company entered into an agreement with an attorney to perform corporate governance and securities law services for and representation of the Company for a flat fee of $5,000 per month. The attorney represented FEI and DTE in connection with the SPA. Such attorney became the Secretary of the Company on September 18, 2013.
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company’s cash flow used in operating activities was $1,126,060 for 2013. Such use of cash flow reflects the use of $335,000 in payments required by the Forbearance Agreements, Novinskie Agreement and Blackstone Agreement as discussed below in the FEI/DTE Stock Purchase Agreement section.
 
The Company’s net cash (unrestricted) at September 30, 2013 totaled $140,607. Restricted cash deposits – equity issuances are discussed below in the SPA Additional Provisions section.
 
To obtain capital in the past, the Company’s capital obtainment methods have included selling its interest in certain oil and gas properties, and borrowing funds from and issuing Common Stock to related and unrelated parties, as well as utilizing joint venture structures. If the Company is not successful in increasing its operating cash flows and the preceding financing methods are not available, the Company may not be able to sustain its operations and may need to seek alternative actions to preserve shareholder value.
 
Liquidity is a measure of a Company’s ability to access cash.  The Company has historically addressed its long-term liquidity requirements through the issuance of equity securities and borrowings or debt financing for certain activities. The Company estimates its capital needs to approximate $1 million for fiscal 2014 and approximate $4 million for fiscal 2015 to satisfy debt payments, pay current operating costs and expenses, and to fund the Company’s growth initiatives.
 
At present, the Company does not have in place a credit facility or other line of credit upon which it may draw. As operating activities increase, the Company will evaluate the need for such a credit facility.   For desired acquisitions or project enhancements, the Company must seek project specific financing. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding ZeoSure LLC. None of the Company’s properties are encumbered.
 
The prices the Company receives for its oil and gas and the level of production have a significant impact on the Company’s cash flows. The Company is unable to predict, with any degree of certainty the prices the Company will receive for its future oil and gas production and the success of the Company’s exploration, exploitation and production activities. Increases in the sales of the Company’s minerals, which to date have not been mined in substantial commercial quantities, will also affect cash flow.
 
In an effort to address the liquidity shortfall, the Company sold certain of its oil and gas properties in 2012, is selling certain oil and gas properties in 2014 and is evaluating the sale of certain additional oil and gas properties. It may take months and possibly longer to sell these properties at a suitable price. The market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell a property for the price or on terms acceptable to us or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of any property.

On January 20, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell certain oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights for cash of $898,335, subject to adjustment as to any title defect that is not cured within the timeframe permitted by the PSA. The sale closed on March 28, 2012. The Company received $898,335 at the closing and recognized gain in the amount of proceeds received. The oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights that were sold were undeveloped, and as such not income-producing to the Company. See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company used the proceeds for general working capital purposes.
 
During April 2012, the Company paid $50,000 in cash and issued of 158,290 shares of Common Stock in full satisfaction of a note due an affiliate of Carl A. Haessler, a Director at that time, as discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
During May 2012, Carl Haessler, a Director at that time, elected to convert 10,000 shares of Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock into 80,000 shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate of $1.25 per share of Common Stock. Also, Mr. Haessler accepted 73,854 shares of Common Stock as satisfaction for any and all dividends due him ($92,318 of which $88,319 were accrued) in respect to his direct holdings of 30,000 shares of Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock through the date of the conversion of 10,000 of such shares. See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
On August 23, 2012, the Company, entered into an agreement with Michael D. Parrish to become the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Board of Directors of the Company. The initial term of Mr. Parrish’s employment was effective as of May 18, 2012. In November 2012, the employment contract with Mr. Parrish was renewed. Such contract was orally amended in December 2012 to reflect a change in base salary. Effective March 25, 2013, the Company granted (i) 600,000 shares of common stock and (ii) and an option for the purchase of 1.2 million shares of common stock to Mr. Parrish (see Note 8). Pursuant to Section 4.8 of the SPA, Mr. Parrish’s employment has been extended through December 31, 2013.  Mr. Parrish and the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company are in discussions regarding the contract.
 
The Company shall use the proceeds from the transaction with FEI and DTE (discussed below) in an effort to establish additional profitable revenue generating activities. The Company is implementing its plan and creating sales, marketing, and distribution programs. The Company has employed a Vice President of Sales and intends to use internal and external resources to focus on mineral sales. In anticipation of increased sales, the Company’s plans include handling, storage and transportation modifications for the mineral properties. Also, the Company plans to continue its workover operations and other activities in certain of its Texas and West Virginia oil and gas properties to enhance its existing revenue stream and profitability.
 
SPA Additional Provisions
 
In connection with the SPA the Company entered into an Exclusive Sales Agency and Marketing Agreement with FEI (“FEI Marketing Agreement”). The FEI Marketing Agreement grants to FEI the right to act as the Company’s exclusive marketing and sales agent for natural resources products produced, mined and/or sold by the Company, excluding the Company’s ZeoSure products (see Note 4), in Asia excluding the nation of India. As of September 30, 2013, the Company and FEI are actively seeking to aggregate certain petroleum products and coal supplies owned by others for export to identified buyers in Asia. The completion of these identified transactions is contingent on the finalization of financial and supply arrangements.
 
As a condition precedent to entering into the FEI/DTE Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to enter into (i) forbearance agreements with certain of its major creditors and debtors (“Certain Creditors”) (“Forbearance Agreements”), (ii) the Second Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Blackstone, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer (“Blackstone Agreement”) and (iii) the First Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Novinskie, President and Chief Financial Officer (“Novinskie Agreement”). The Forbearance Agreements provide for the Certain Creditors to agree to forbear from making a demand on the Company for payment of their debt for a period of two years from the date of the SPA. The Certain Creditors, Blackstone and/or Novinskie are entitled to receive accelerated payment of their debt should the Company, among other things, (i) have net income, (ii) sell equity securities, (iii) sell assets in excess of stated amounts and/or (iv) if the Company permits an Event of Default (as defined in the respective agreements) (“Accelerated Payments”). See notes 1, 6, 7 and 11 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussions regarding the Forbearance Agreements, the Blackstone Agreement and the Novinskie Agreements. At September 30, 2013, the Company is not required to make Accelerated Payments to the Certain Creditors, Blackstone or Novinskie.

2013 Private Placement
 
Commencing in January 2013, the Company offered a private placement under the provisions of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “2013 Private Placement”). The 2013 Private Placement consists of up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for the issuance of up to 5 million shares of Common Stock at $0.10 per share and warrants to purchase up to 2 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on January 16, 2018. The Company will utilize the proceeds of this private placement for general working capital purposes. At September 30, 2013, the Company had received cash totaling $411,000 for the sale of 4,110,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 1,644,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
Convertible Note Payable to Dov Amir
 
On May 3, 2013, the Company paid cash of $70,000 and issued 498,000 shares of Common Stock in full satisfaction of all amounts due Amir pursuant to the note. The Company determined the value of the cash and shares of Common Stock (at $0.17 per share) to be $154,660. The if-converted value of the Convertible Note Payable on such date was $183,051. Accordingly, the Company recognized $95,802 as gain on debt forgiveness as a result of such full satisfaction of the note.
 
Securities Exchange and Settlement Agreement
 
On August 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange and Settlement Agreement (the “SESA”) with Stephan V. Benediktson, a former officer of the Company. Pursuant to the SESA, the parties have agreed to settle all obligations between them. The Company (i) issued 2,169,400 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) released from escrow the 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were collateral for a note receivable from Mr. Benediktson. Such settlement resulted in reductions of $915,887 of accrued bonus expense due to Mr. Benediktson, $37,448 of accounts receivable due from Mr. Benediktson and the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to a certain note receivable from Mr. Benediktson ($444,559). The principal balance and interest thereon was impaired as discussed in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the settlement of all obligations between the parties.
 
A provision of the Agreement requires that the Company shall not make any public announcement or statement concerning the Agreement other than that which the Company is required to disclose on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Significant Activity
 
Oil and Gas Segment
 
On October 6, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (“APA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its interest in certain oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights for certain properties located in Burleson County, Texas (“Properties”), for cash, subject to adjustment as to any title defect that is not cured within the timeframe permitted by such agreement. On November 5, 2013, the closing date was delayed from November 6, 2013, to December 6, 2013, in accordance with the APA to allow the Company to address title issues raised by the buyer on November 1, 2013. A First Amendment to the APA was entered into on December 5, 2013, extending the “Delayed Closing Date” until December 17, 2013. On December 17, 2013, the parties closed on the sale of 280 net acres attributable to the Company’s interest in the Properties covered by this portion of the transaction. The Company received $448,038 at the closing and will recognize gain in the amount of proceeds received. The oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights that were sold were undeveloped, and as such not income-producing to the Company. The Company shall use the proceeds for general working capital purposes. On December 16, 2013, a Second Amendment to the APA was entered into by the Company and the Buyer to extend the Delayed Closing Date to January 16, 2014 as to certain Properties to allow the parties to continue to address the Buyer’s concerns about certain issues with the remaining Properties that did not close on December 17, 2013. On January 13, 2014, a Third Amendment to the APA was entered into by the Company and the Buyer to extend the Delayed Closing Date to February 17, 2014.
  
Texas Zeolite
 
During September 2013, the company produced saleable minerals from its zeolite mineral deposit in Texas (“Texas Zeolite”). The Company shipped 105 tons of zeolite from its Texas property to a processing and fulfillment facility in Pennsylvania. A portion of such material required additional processing and such processing was completed in October 2013. Backlog orders approximated $2,000 as of September 30, 2013. Sales of the processed and unprocessed product to identified customers commenced in October 2013. On December 16, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of the extraction and crushing equipment of its contract operator of the property for $300,000. On January 16, 2014, the Company borrowed $250,000 from an unrelated party to fund the major portion of the purchase price and closed on the purchase of such equipment. The Company believes the capacity of such equipment is appropriate for anticipated extraction and crushing activities for the next three years. Depending on the level of sales activity, the Company may need to acquire or lease additional equipment. The Company has engaged a contract operator of such equipment and anticipates the commencement of larger-scale extraction activities to commence in February 2014. The Company has also contracted certain micro-processing capabilities to prepare certain samples and test material, including digestive supplements and human consumable products for ZLLC.

Accelerated Payments
 
The Certain Creditors, Blackstone and/or Novinskie are entitled to receive accelerated payment of their debt as discussed above. The Company may be required to make Accelerated Payments as a result of the (i) issuances of shares of Common Stock and (ii) the sale of certain oil and gas leasehold rights since the dates of the Forbearance Agreements, Novinskie Agreement and Blackstone Agreement as such issuances and sale did not restrict the use of proceeds from such transactions. The Company anticipates making any required Accelerated Payments in a timely manner.
 
Commercialization of Existing Assets
 
The Company has identified fifteen (15) potential development and redevelopment opportunities associated with its existing leasehold acreage in Texas. The Company believes that the potential for the development of such locations will occur within the next few years as a result of renewed interest in the area of its properties. The prevailing oil price and the development of properties in “resource plays” in the area of the Company’s acreage are major factors contributing to such interest. At September 30, 2012 and 2013, the Company had assigned probable and possible reserves to the fifteen (15) potential developmental locations. The Company is actively seeking financing of approximately $2.5 million for its share of the estimated drilling and completion costs of such development opportunities. To obtain the capital necessary to develop these, the Company (1) continues to seek project specific funding commitments and other capital funding alternatives and (2) is evaluating the sale of certain oil and gas producing properties.
 
The Company continues to pursue plans to commercialize its kaolin and zeolite projects which are critical for the Company to achieve profitability and establish the Company as a market innovator in industrial minerals. Those plans have progressed from the data acquisition and analysis phase into ongoing mineral processing and facility design phase. The Company and its current partner and potential other partners are actively investigating various commercial applications for its mineral based products. The Company continues to focus on establishing business and or financial relationships that will provide the necessary capital to effectively exploit its kaolin and zeolite mineral resource holdings.
 
In connection with the SPA, the Company entered into an Exclusive Sales Agency and Marketing Agreement with FEI (“Marketing Agreement”). The Marketing Agreement grants to FEI the right to act as the Company’s exclusive marketing and sales agent for natural resources products produced, mined and/or sold by the Company, excluding the Company’s ZeoSure products (see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), in Asia excluding the nation of India.
 
Zeolite
 
In respect to sanitary wastewater treatment applications, the Company continues to supply material for use in a sequential batch reactor facility located in Pennsylvania and the Company has provided material for a confirmation test of the use of its ReNuGen(TM) product in an alternate design treatment plant. Certain small scale tests have progressed to the point where larger scalable pilot tests of commercial applications for zeolite are in progress in respect to soil additives, animal waste treatment and treatment of industrial wastewaters.
 
In October, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell zeolite to be used in certain agricultural applications limited to feed supplements in a ten state area in the south-central part of the US. The Company has made limited shipments since fiscal 2010. The Company made no shipments during fiscal 2012. The development of this market has been hampered as a result of economic and environmental factors affecting the purchaser. During August 2012, the Company gave notice to the purchaser to terminate the agreement in October 2012 pursuant to the notice provision provided in the agreement. The Company intends to seek alternatives for the sale of its zeolite to be used in agricultural applications.
 
In February 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of wastewaters. Such patents utilize the Company’s zeolite. The license applies to the US and covers the use of the technology in water, wastewater and waste treatment in animal feed operations, agriculture, and aquaculture. In addition, the license applies to the treatment of sanitary wastewater on Federal facilities, military bases and lands administered by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Company issued 140,000 shares of its Common Stock in consideration for the License Agreement. The Company recorded $40,907 as patents license rights based on an average price of $0.29 per share. Such patent license rights are fully amortized as of September 30, 2013.

On April 8, 2011, in connection with the efforts of the Musser Group, the Company entered into a Material Supply and Joint Venture Agreement between CAMI (wholly-owned subsidiary) and VitaminSpice, Inc. (“VSI”) pursuant to which CAMI agrees to supply Clinoptilolite (zeolite) to VSI in connection with the introduction by VSI of detoxification products into targeted geographic markets. VSI is obligated to utilize CAMI as its sole supplier of Clinoptilolite. The agreement does not specify any minimum quantity supply requirements of CAMI. In addition to an initial price per ton for Clinoptilolite to be sold to VSI, CAMI will share in the profits from the sales of such products by VSI. CAMI has provided material to VSI for use in product and market strategy development, as well as potential clinical studies. The Company made no shipments of product to VSI and the Company has not received any orders from VSI. VSI has not met certain performance standards as set forth in the agreement. On April 13, 2012, the Company gave notice to VSI and terminated the agreement pursuant to the provision in respect to termination for cause.
 
On July 3, 2012, CAMI entered into an operating agreement for ZeoSure LLC (“ZLLC”) as one of ZLLC’s two managing members. ZLLC was formed for the purpose of developing human consumption products including but not limited to detoxification and digestive supplements and human consumable products utilizing CAPI’S Clinoptilolite zeolite mineral focusing on markets throughout the world with a primary emphasis on markets in the United States and Asia. CAMI and SafeHatch LLC, an entity controlled by an individual previously affiliated with the Musser Group, are the managing members and each owns 47.5% of ZLLC. The remaining 5% of ZLLC is owned by the Musser Group. The members of ZLLC intend to seek initial capital of $1 million from third parties and enter into product marketing and distribution agreements with participants active within the dietary supplements market in the next few months. The operating agreement has not been ratified by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Other than seeking initial capital and attempting to identify viable product marketing and distribution partners, ZLLC had no activity through September 30, 2013 (see “Recent Significant Activity” above).
 
Since hiring its Vice President of Sales in April 2013, the Company has increased its efforts to develop and expand viable markets for zeolite based products. In general these potential markets are based on the results of prior testing efforts. As such, the Company has begun to introduce an absorbent product, Cite-Clean™ for use in minimizing unintended industrial discharges and a natural product additive for municipal compost producer to control odors and enhance the eventual nutrient uptake by plants in agricultural and horticultural applications.
 
Kaolin
 
The efforts of the Company and Tecumseh Professional Associates, Inc. (“TPA”) to evaluate the Sierra Kaolin deposit are ongoing. The venture’s efforts to commercialize the Sierra Kaolin deposit have focused on an initial target area encompassing approximately 32 acres out of the project’s 2,740 acres. The test minerals extracted from the target area have been processed into product formulations determined by independent consultants to be suitable (a) for coatings, fillers and pigments for use within the paint and paper manufacturing industries, and (b) as an additive in cement formulations. The analysis results of the processed minerals with respect to its physical properties including brightness, color, opacity, strength, and oil absorption have indicated that commercially viable products can be produced from the deposit’s extracted minerals.
 
In December 2009, the Sierra Kaolin Open Pit Clay Mine project cleared the regulatory review process and the project’s definitive USDA Forest Service Plan of Operations was approved. Mine site plans have been prepared to facilitate planned extraction operations. Since receiving project approval, the venture, with the assistance of its consultants, has made technical presentations of the product formulations to entities active (a) in the specialty cement applications and (b) on both the demand and supply sides of the coatings, fillers and pigments sectors of the paint and paper industries. While the feedback from these presentations has been encouraging, market conditions within the paper and housing industries have not been favorable; however, interest in the Sierra Kaolin deposit’s minerals for use in meta-kaolin applications has remained favorable. As such the project manager is focusing its commercialization efforts in this area.
 
During fiscal 2012, in addition to the meta-kaolin applications, because of its natural brightness, interest has been expressed relative to the use of the Sierra Kaolin material as a possible economic substitute and/or extender for titanium oxide within the filter and coating industries. TPA has also been in discussions with entities within the mining sector relative to other joint venture opportunities involving the mineral claims controlled by the Sierra Kaolin project. To date, the discussions have been exploratory in nature.
 
 
35

 
During 2013, third party interest in the Sierra Kaolin Project has increased. Management of the Company believes the market for fillers and coatings (the historical primary uses for Kaolin products) have begun to recover, while the interest in Meta-Kaolin products in the Southwestern United States has continued to increase. This later market is of particular interest to the Company because test data indicates that its Sierra Kaolin mineral has specific physical and chemical properties that support its use in the application. TPA as the project’s manager is aggressively pursuing these commercialization opportunities. Pursuant to the Restated Development and Operating Agreement with TPA, (i) TPA shall earn 65 % of the net cash flow from the Sierra Kaolin operations in the event TPA develops the property, including the construction and funding of an appropriate processing facility and (ii) TPA shall be entitled to 50% of the sale proceeds in the event of a divestiture of the Sierra Kaolin property prior to its development by TPA.
 
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements, CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
 
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “Variable Interest Entities,” that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures. However, the request for project financing for ZeoSure LLC is being presented to potential third parties and management of the Company will evaluate alternative financing structures as part of any negotiations with those potential sources of capital. Also, the company intends to request project financing for the (15) potential development and redevelopment opportunities associated with its existing leasehold acreage in Texas and management of the Company will evaluate alternative financing structures as part of any negotiations with those potential sources of capital.
 
We have various contractual obligations that are appropriately recorded as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Certain other items are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Examples of items not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements are commitments to purchase goods and services that have not yet been received or rendered, respectively, as of September 30, 2013, and future minimum lease payments for the use of property and equipment under operating lease agreements.
 
Certain contractual obligations classified as noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 include accrued bonus expense ($457,944) and Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends accrued ($1,826,239). See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the cumulative dividends in arrears of $2,042,239 at September 30, 2013, applicable to the Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
For details of applicable new accounting standards, please, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
General
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the recorded values of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues recognized and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions affect our recognition of deferred expenses, bad debts, income taxes, the carrying value of our long-lived assets and our provision for certain contingencies. We evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions continually based on a combination of historical information and other information that comes to our attention that may vary our outlook for the future. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.
 
We suggest that the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe the critical accounting policies that most impact our consolidated financial statements are described below.
 
Going Concern
 
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to liquidate its assets. For 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $2,132,509 and $884,759, respectively. The ability of the Company to meet its current liabilities of $5,459,700 and its total liabilities of $7,753,883 at September 30, 2013, and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding, achieving profitability within its mineral segment, and ongoing profitability within its oil and gas operations. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, there is uncertainty relative to full recoverability of its assets.
 
 
36

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments 
 
The Company’s only financial instruments are cash, short-term trade receivables, payables, and debt. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, short-term trade receivables, payables and debt approximate fair values because of the immediate nature of short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The Company has no long-term or short-term bank debt outstanding at September 30, 2013.
 
Receivables
 
In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers on a short-term basis. Our principal customers are major oil and natural gas exploration, development and production companies. Credit risks associated with these customers are considered minimal. Dealings with smaller, local companies, particularly with the current difficulties in equity and credit markets, pose the greatest risks. We routinely review our accounts receivable balances and make provisions for doubtful accounts as necessary. Accounts are reviewed on a case by case basis and losses are recognized in the period if we determine it is likely that receivables will not be fully collected. We may also provide a general provision for accounts receivables based on existing economic conditions.
 
Subscriptions Receivable and Interest Receivable
 
As of September 30, 2013, management of the Company believes that the collection of the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to a certain note receivable is in doubt (see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). As of September 30, 2012, the Company changed to the recovery method in accounting for the notes receivable and interest thereon. Accordingly, the principal and interest will be recorded when, and if, collected. This change to the recovery method resulted in the recognition of $207,025 as an impairment of the interest receivable at September 30, 2012. The principal balance of the notes receivable ($576,000) was previously reflected as subscriptions receivable. Additional paid-in capital was reduced by $576,000 as of September 30, 2012, to reflect the impairment of the notes receivable.
 
Oil and gas properties
 
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the costs of exploration and development activities. Costs of successful exploration wells, development wells, and direct acquisition costs of developed and undeveloped leases containing proved reserves are capitalized and amortized on a unit-of-production method over the life of the related reserves.  Costs of exploratory wells found to be dry are expensed. Support equipment and other property and equipment recorded at cost are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. 
 
Mineral properties
 
The Company recorded the acquisition of Clean Age Minerals, Inc., and associated minerals rights on September 19, 2000, at cost as based on the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued which was less than the appraised value of the entity acquired.  The Company has not produced large-scale quantities of any of its mineral deposits. The Company is in the production phase of its Texas Zeolite as saleable minerals have been extracted (produced) from such mineral deposit. Once the Company produces commercial quantities of any of its mineral deposits, the Company will use the unit-of-production method in calculating cost depletion.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. At September 30, 2013, we reviewed our long-lived assets and determined that the prepaid mineral royalties were impaired as discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2012, we reviewed our long-lived assets and determined no impairment was necessary.
 
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of 
 
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The oil and gas leasehold rights subject to a purchase and sale agreement dated October 6, 2013, have no carrying amount in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Environmental Remediation
 
The Company's policy is to accrue environmental and cleanup related costs of a noncapital nature when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company accrues for certain environmental remediation related activities for which commitments or cleanup plans have been developed or for which costs or minimum costs can be reasonably estimated. It is reasonably possible that, due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of contamination, application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in remediation technology, the ultimate cost of remediation could materially change in the future. Any liability established would not necessarily be the minimum or maximum liability, but based upon the Company's experience and the advice of its outside consultants; it would most accurately reflect the Company's liability based on the information currently available. As a general rule, the Company accrues remediation costs for continuing operations on a discounted basis and does not accrue for normal operating and maintenance costs for site monitoring and compliance requirements. It has not been necessary for the Company to record any environmental remediation costs for 2013 and 2012.
 
Asset Retirement Obligation
 
The Company may have an obligation to retire property, plant, and equipment at the end of their useful fives. The Company performs periodic reviews for any changes in facts and circumstances that might enable it to determine a reasonable estimate of any asset retirement obligation (“ARO”). When an ARO is necessary, the Company estimates the fair value, establishes a liability, and increases the carrying value of the assets by a corresponding amount.
 
An ARO associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is required to be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. Under this method, when liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related assets (mineral, oil and natural gas properties) is increased. The fair value of the ARO asset and liability is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset.  The estimated residual salvage values are taken into account in determining amortization and depreciation rates.
 
Generally, the salvage value of the Company’s producing wells or mining deposits is expected to exceed the cost of site restoration and abandonment.  To date, mining and exploration activities of the Company's mineral deposits have been conducted by contract mining companies. As mining activity increases, the Company may accrue site restoration costs as appropriate.
 
 
37

 
As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has accrued future abandonment costs of $10,000 of costs associated with the potential abandonment and restoration of a mining deposit that was abandoned prior to fiscal 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Daleco Resources Corporation
 
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Daleco Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the 2013 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Daleco Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2013 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered significant recurring net losses from operations and negative operating cash flow, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Daleco Resources Corporation
  
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Daleco Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Daleco Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant recurring net losses and negative operating cash flow, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that Daleco Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to liquidate its assets. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s current assets total $495,888. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 (“2013”) and 2012 (“2012”), the Company incurred net losses applicable to common shareholders of $2,132,509 and $884,759, respectively. The ability of the Company to meet its current liabilities of $5,459,700 and its total liabilities of $7,753,883 and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding, achieving profitability within its mineral segment and ongoing profitability within its oil and gas operations. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, there is uncertainty relative to full recoverability of its assets. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to these uncertainties.   
 
FEI/DTE Stock Purchase Agreement
 
On March 25, 2013, the Company finalized a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Far East Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company (“FEI”) and DTE Investment Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“DTE”) (hereinafter FEI and DTE are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Investors” and individually as an “Investor”).  The  Investors paid the Company $1.5 million for 15 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 (“Common Stock”) and the Company issued warrants for the purchase of up to 18 million shares of Common Stock to FEI and DTE (“FEI/DTE Warrants”).  The FEI/DTE Warrants have a term of five (5) years (“Term”) and may be exercised at a price of $0.20 per share (“Exercise Price”).  In the third through fifth years of the Term, the Exercise Price may be satisfied by exchanging Common Stock at the current market price.  The FEI/DTE Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Term.
 
Under the SPA for so long as the Investors retain 51% or more of the Common Stock issued under the SPA (7,650,000 shares), the Investors are entitled to request that the Registrant nominate for election, by the shareholders of the Registrant at the Registrant’s annual meeting of shareholders, two persons suitable to serve as directors of the Registrant.
 
A provision of the Agreement requires that the Company shall not make any public announcement or statement concerning the Agreement other than that which the Company is required to disclose on Form 8-K and other required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Consistent with its obligations under the securities laws, the Company is required to seek confidential treatment of the information set forth in the Annex and Exhibits to the SPA.
 
In connection with the SPA the Company entered into an Exclusive Sales Agency and Marketing Agreement with FEI (“FEI Marketing Agreement”).  The FEI Marketing Agreement grants to FEI the right to act as the Company’s exclusive marketing and sales agent for natural resources products produced, mined and/or sold by the Company, excluding the Company’s ZeoSure products (see Note 4), in Asia excluding the nation of India. As of September 30, 2013, the Company and FEI are actively seeking to aggregate certain petroleum products and coal supplies owned by others for export to identified buyers in Asia. The completion of these identified transactions is contingent on the finalization of financial and supply arrangements. 
 
As a condition precedent to entering into the FEI/DTE Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to enter into (i) forbearance agreements with certain of its major creditors and debtors (“Certain Creditors”) (“Forbearance Agreements”),  (ii) the Second Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Blackstone, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer (“Blackstone Agreement”) and (iii) the First Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Novinskie, President and Chief Financial Officer (“Novinskie Agreement”). The Forbearance Agreements provide for the Certain Creditors to agree to forbear from making a demand on the Company for payment of their debt for a period of two years from the date of the SPA.  The Certain Creditors, Blackstone and/or Novinskie are entitled to receive accelerated payment of their debt should the Company, among other things, (i) have net income, (ii) sell equity securities, (iii) sell assets in excess of stated amounts and/or (iv) if the Company permits an Event of Default (as defined in the respective agreements) (“Accelerated Payments”). See notes 6, 7 and 11 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussions regarding the Forbearance Agreements, the Blackstone Agreement and the Novinskie Agreements. At September 30, 2013, the Company is not required to make Accelerated Payments to the Certain Creditors, Blackstone or Novinskie.

2013 Private Placement
 
Commencing in January 2013, the Company offered a private placement under the provisions of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “2013 Private Placement”). The 2013 Private Placement consists of up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for the issuance of up to 5 million shares of Common Stock at $0.10 per share and warrants to purchase up to 2 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on January 16, 2018. The Company will utilize the proceeds of this private placement for general working capital purposes. At September 30, 2013, the Company had received cash totaling $411,000 for the sale of 4,110,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 1,644,000 shares of Common Stock.

Liquidity
 
To obtain capital in the past, the Company’s capital obtainment methods have included selling its interest in certain oil and gas properties, and borrowing funds from and issuing Common Stock to related and unrelated parties, as well as utilizing joint venture structures. If the Company is not successful in increasing its operating cash flows and the preceding financing methods are not available, the Company may not be able to sustain its operations and may need to seek alternative actions to preserve shareholder value.

Liquidity is a measure of a Company’s ability to access cash. The Company has historically addressed its long-term liquidity requirements through the issuance of equity securities and borrowings or debt financing for certain activities.
 
At present, the Company does not have in place a credit facility or other line of credit upon which it may draw. As operating activities increase, the Company will evaluate the need for such a credit facility. For desired acquisitions or project enhancements, the Company must seek project specific financing. None of the Company’s properties are encumbered. See Note 4 regarding ZeoSure LLC.
  
The prices the Company receives for its oil and gas and the level of production have a significant impact on the Company’s cash flows. The Company is unable to predict, with any degree of certainty the prices the Company will receive for its future oil and gas production and the success of the Company’s exploration, exploitation and production activities. Increases in the sales of the Company’s minerals, which to date have not been mined in substantial commercial quantities, will also affect cash flow.
 
In an effort to address the liquidity shortfall, the Company sold certain of its oil and gas properties in 2012,  is selling certain of its oil and gas properties in fiscal 2014 (see Note 15) and is evaluating the sale of certain additional oil and gas properties. It may take months and possibly longer to sell these properties at a suitable price. The market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell a property for the price or on terms acceptable to us or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of any property.
 
The Company has used and shall use the proceeds from the transaction with FEI and DTE in an effort to establish additional profitable revenue generating activities. The Company is implementing its plan and creating sales, marketing, and distribution programs. The Company has employed a Vice President of Sales and intends to use internal and external resources to focus on mineral sales. In anticipation of increased sales, the Company’s plans include handling, storage and transportation modifications for the mineral properties. Also, the Company plans to continue its workover operations and other activities in certain of its Texas and West Virginia oil and gas properties to enhance its existing revenue stream and profitability.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Description of Business
 
Daleco Resources Corporation (“DRC”) is a Nevada corporation (organized in Nevada during 2002). DRC’s Articles provide for, among other things, authorized capital stock of 150 million shares of common stock and 20 million shares of preferred stock. During June 2013, DRC’s authorized shares of common stock were increased to 150 million shares from 100 million shares. DRC and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to as the “Company”. The Company's segments consist of two separate categories: oil and natural gas and non-metallic minerals. DRC is a holding company whose subsidiaries are engaged in: (i) the exploration, development and production of oil and gas; (ii) the exploration for naturally occurring minerals; (iii) the marketing and sales of such minerals; and (iv) the marketing and sales of products utilizing such minerals. DRC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include Westlands Resources Corporation (“WRC”), Deven Resources, Inc. (“DRI”), DRI Operating Company, Inc. (“DRIOP”), Tri-Coastal Energy, Inc. (“TCEI”), Clean Age Minerals, Inc. (“CAMI”), CA Properties, Inc. (“CAPI”), International Aggregation and Trading Company, LLC (IATC”), Sustainable Forest Industries, Inc. (“SFI”) and The Natural Resources Exchange, Inc. (“NREX”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012
 
 
DRI is the managing general partner of Deerlick Royalty Partners I, a Pennsylvania general partnership, which owns overriding royalty interests in seventy wells in the Deerlick Coalbed Methane Field located in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. DRI is also the sole shareholder of DRIOP which operates wells and has oil and gas interests in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned working interests in 28 wells in Texas and West Virginia. Throughout 2013, the Company has experienced an average increase of 3% in the unit of production weighted average sales price it received for its oil and natural gas products as compared to 2012.
 
CAMI, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CAPI (collectively “CAM”), owns a fee title interest, leasehold interest and Federal Placer and Lode mining claims containing non-metallic and other minerals in Texas, New Mexico and Utah. CAM is presently engaged in the exploration for such minerals. CAM intends to mine the minerals through the use of contract miners and arrangements with its joint venture partner.
 
The Company is primarily engaged in oil and gas operations and non-metallic minerals activities.
 
We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standard Board, commonly referred to as “FASB”. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, sometimes referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC”. From time to time, the FASB may issue an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which may impact the consolidated financial statements and disclosures therein (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”).
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Significant estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements include, among other things, estimates of the proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes used in calculating depletion, depreciation and amortization expense (“DD&A”); the estimated future cash flows and fair value of properties used in determining the need for any impairment write-down; volumes and prices for revenues accrued; estimates of the fair value of equity-based compensation awards; deferred tax valuation and the timing and amount of future abandonment costs used in calculating asset retirement obligations. Future changes in the assumptions used could have a significant impact on reported results in future periods. The significant estimates are based on current assumptions that may be materially affected by changes to future economic conditions such as the market prices received for sales of volumes of oil and natural gas, interest rates and our ability to generate future income.
 
Basis of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of DRC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s investments in oil and gas leases are accounted for using proportionate consolidation whereby the Company’s pro rata share of each of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the investments are aggregated with those of the Company in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s investments in minerals are accounted for using purchase accounting methods.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Cash and Restricted Cash Deposits
 
Cash totals $140,607 and $190,738 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Restricted cash deposits - operations totaling $109,681 and $109,609 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are classified as other assets in the accompanying balance sheets as they support financial assurance requirements for the Company’s operations of its mineral properties and its oil and gas properties in certain states as follows:

Restricted cash deposits – equity issuances total $693,808 as of September 30, 2013 as discussed in Note 1.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Our trade accounts receivable, which are primarily from oil and natural gas sales and joint interest billings, are recorded at the invoiced amount and include production receivables. The production receivables are valued at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable also include joint interest billing receivables which represent billings to the non-operators associated with the drilling and operation of wells and are based on those owners’ working interests in the wells. We have assessed the financial strength of our customers and joint owners and determined that an allowance of $25,000 for estimated uncollectible amounts was necessary at September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Subscriptions Receivable and Interest Receivable
 
As of September 30, 2013, management of the Company believes that the collection of the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to a certain note receivable is in doubt (see Note 11). As of September 30, 2012, the Company changed to the recovery method in accounting for the notes receivable and interest thereon. Accordingly, the principal and interest will be recorded when, and if, collected. This change to the recovery method resulted in the recognition of $207,025 as an impairment of the interest receivable at September 30, 2012. The principal balance of the notes receivable ($576,000) was previously reflected as subscriptions receivable. Additional paid-in capital was reduced by $576,000 as of September 30, 2012, to reflect the impairment of the notes receivable.
 
Inventory
 
At September 30, 2013, we have $40,500 of inventory relating to our minerals activities. During September 2013, the company produced saleable minerals from its zeolite mineral deposit in Texas and shipped the material to a processing and fulfillment facility in Pennsylvania. Such inventory is recorded at the lower of average cost or market. Sales of the processed and unprocessed product to identified customers commenced in October 2013. We had no inventory at September 30, 2012, relating to our minerals activities.
 
We have no inventory at September 30, 2013 or 2012 relating to our oil and gas activities.
 
Prepaid Consulting Services Agreements Fees
 
Consulting Services Agreement
 
The Company issued 2,400,000 shares in connection with the Consulting Services Agreement with the Musser Group during 2011 which has been extended to February 2014. The shares of common stock issued to individuals associated with the Musser Group were valued at $360,000, the market price at time of issuance ($0.15 per share). Also, the Company issued to individuals associated with the Musser Group warrants for the purchase of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants may not be exercised unless and until the average bid and asking closing price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds $1.00 per share for a period of thirty consecutive trading days. The warrants are exercisable through February 24, 2016. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $375,153 using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the following assumptions: a contractual term of 5 years, risk free interest rate of 2.16%, dividend yields of 0%, and volatility of 163%. The Company filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form S-8 for the shares of Common Stock issued to individuals associated with the Musser Group. The total fair value of the shares of Common Stock and the warrants issued individuals associated with to the Musser Group amounted to $735,153 and such amount was recorded as prepaid consulting fees.
 
Investor Relations Firm Consulting Agreement
 
In March 2013, the Company engaged an investor relations firm (“IR Firm”) to assist management in such activities for one year. The Company issued 600,000 shares (valued at $0.11 per share) of Common Stock to the IR Firm and such contract requires monthly payments of cash of $5,000 during the term of the agreement. The Company is amortizing the prepaid consulting fees of $66,000, the value of the shares, over the term of the contract with the IR Firm and unamortized consulting fees total $30,559 at September 30, 2013.

The prepaid consulting fees are being amortized over the lives (initial terms) of the respective agreements. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, prepaid consulting services agreement fees totaled $30,559 and $151,237, respectively, and was classified as a current asset. Amortization of $186,678 and $366,575, respectively, is included in general and administrative expenses during 2013 and 2012.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Company follows FASB issued authoritative guidance for recording intangible assets, including prepaid mineral royalties, which discontinues the amortization of identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite lives. In accordance with FASB issued authoritative guidance, these identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite lives are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. Should we determine that such carrying amounts are greater than the estimated future benefit of the expected production from the mineral properties, we consider the asset to be impaired. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount that the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds the fair value of such asset group. 
  
Prepaid Mineral Royalties
 
The Company receives a credit in the nature of prepaid mineral royalties for advance royalties paid on the Texas zeolite lease located in Presidio County, Texas. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, recoupable mineral royalties were $539,237 and $509,254, respectively. At September 30, 2012, such amount of prepaid mineral royalties is classified as an Other Asset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. No portion was classified as a current asset as the Company’s agreements concerning sales of such mineral do not have any minimum supply requirements (as discussed in Note 8). As part of our annual impairment test as of September 30, 2013, and in connection with the Company entering the production phase of its Texas Zeolite minerals in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we assessed the estimated future benefit of the royalty advances paid.  This assessment was based on the expected production from the mineral properties.  Although we are optimistic about the future cash flow of our mineral properties, the future results from our sales efforts and market growth cannot be assured.  Based upon this information, we have determined that we are uncertain when we will be able to realize the prepaid mineral royalties at September 30, 2013, and that these assets may not be recoverable through future operations; therefore, we recognized an impairment expense of $539,237 in 2013. 
 
Patent Rights and Patent License Rights
 
At September 30, 2013, the intangible assets consisted of patent rights of $6,620. The patent rights will be amortized over the life of such patents commencing in fiscal 2014.
 
The patent license rights were amortized over the initial term of the agreement. Such initial term expired in 2013. See Note 5.
 
Mineral Properties and Reserves
 
The Company has not produced large-scale quantities of any of its mineral deposits. During September 2013, the company produced saleable minerals from its zeolite mineral deposit in Texas (“Texas Zeolite”). The Company is in the production phase of its Texas Zeolite as saleable minerals have been extracted (produced) from such mineral deposit. By definition, the Company is in the Development Stage in respect to its Texas Zeolite and is in the Exploration Stage in respect to its Sierra Kaolin mineral holdings in New Mexico (“Sierra Kaolin”) and its zeolite mineral holdings in Utah (“Utah Zeolite”). As such, no proved reserves are estimated. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, net mineral properties were $9,782,128. The Company previously amortized its mineral properties at a nominal amortization rate as the Company has not produced commercial quantities of any of its mineral deposits. Once the Company produces commercial quantities of any of its mineral deposits, we will use the unit-of-production method in calculating cost depletion.
 
We recorded the acquisition of Clean Age Minerals, Inc., and associated minerals rights on September 19, 2000, at cost as based on the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued which was less than the appraised value of the entity acquired.
 
Oil and Natural Gas Property - Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“DD&A”)
 
We account for natural gas and oil exploration and production activities under the successful efforts method of accounting. Proved developed natural gas and oil property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Unproved properties with individually significant acquisition costs are assessed periodically on a property-by- property basis, and any impairment in value is recognized. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the appropriate related costs are transferred to proved natural gas and oil properties. Natural gas and oil exploration costs, other than the costs of drilling exploratory wells, are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of drilling exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether they have discovered proved commercial reserves. If proved commercial reserves are not discovered, such drilling costs are expensed. Costs to develop proved reserves, including the costs of all development well and related equipment used in the production of natural gas and oil, are capitalized.
 
DD&A is calculated using the unit-of-production method on estimated proved oil and gas reserves at the field, lease, unit or well level. In arriving at rates under the unit-of-production method, the quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas are established based on estimates made by our independent engineers. We periodically review estimated proved reserve estimates and make changes as needed to DD&A expenses to account for new wells drilled, acquisitions, divestitures and other events which may have caused significant changes in our estimated proved developed producing reserves. The costs of unproved properties are withheld from the depletion base until such time as they are either developed or abandoned. When proved reserves are assigned, the cost of the property is added to costs subject to depletion calculations. Non-producing properties consist of undeveloped leasehold costs and costs associated with the purchase of certain proved undeveloped reserves. Undeveloped leasehold cost is allocated to the associated producing properties as the undeveloped acreage is developed. Individually significant non-producing properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value. Service properties, equipment and other assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to 30 years.

When circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, we compare expected undiscounted future cash flows at a producing field to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the future undiscounted cash flows, based on our estimate of future natural gas and oil prices, operating costs, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate. When evaluating our unproved oil and gas properties, we utilize active market prices for similar acreage to use as a comparison tool against the carrying value of our properties. If the active market prices for similar acreage do not support our carrying values we then utilize estimates of future value that will be created from the future development of these properties. If future estimated fair value of these properties is lower than the capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to the estimated future fair value.
 
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance to sustain production from the existing producing reservoirs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures to recomplete a current well in a different unproved reservoir are capitalized pending determination that economic reserves have been added. If the recompletion is not successful, the expenditures are charged to expense.
 
Significant tangible equipment added or replaced that extends the useful or productive life of the property is capitalized. Expenditures to construct facilities or increase the productive capacity from existing reservoirs are capitalized.
Upon the sale or retirement of a proved natural gas or oil property, or an entire interest in unproved leaseholds, the cost and related accumulated DD&A are removed from the property accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. For sales of a partial interest in unproved leaseholds for cash or cash equivalents, sales proceeds are first applied as a reduction of the original cost of the entire interest in the property and any remaining proceeds are recognized as a gain.
 
Natural Gas and Oil Reserve Quantities
 
Our estimate of proved reserves is based on the quantities of oil and natural gas that engineering and geological analyses demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable from established reservoirs in the future under current operating and economic parameters. For the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Hall Energy, Inc. (“HEI”) prepared a consolidated reserve and economic evaluation of our proved oil and gas reserves. The preparation of our proved reserve estimates are completed in accordance with our internal control procedures, which include the verification of input data used by HEI, as well as management review and approval. Reserves and their relation to estimated future net cash flows impact our depletion and impairment calculations. As a result, adjustments to depletion and impairment are made concurrently with changes to reserve estimates. Estimates of our crude oil and natural gas reserves, and the projected cash flows derived from these reserve estimates, are prepared by HEI in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC, including the rule revisions designed to modernize the oil and gas company reserves reporting requirements and which we adopted effective September 30, 2010. The independent reserve engineer estimates reserves annually on September 30. This annual estimate results in a new DD&A rate, which we use for the preceding fourth quarter after adjusting for fourth quarter production.
 
Office Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures
 
Office Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over a period of three to seven years.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, we assessed the recovery of our long-lived assets, including our minerals properties and we determined that the carrying amount of each of the asset groups of mineral properties did not exceed the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by each respective asset group.
  
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of
 
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The oil and gas leasehold rights subject to a purchase and sale agreement dated October 6, 2013 (see Note 15), have no carrying amount in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Environmental Remediation
 
The Company's policy is to accrue environmental and cleanup related costs of a noncapital nature when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company accrues for certain environmental remediation related activities for which commitments or cleanup plans have been developed or for which costs or minimum costs can be reasonably estimated. It is reasonably possible that, due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of contamination, application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in remediation technology, the ultimate cost of remediation could materially change in the future. Any liability established would not necessarily be the minimum or maximum liability, but based upon the Company's experience and the advice of its outside consultants; it would most accurately reflect the Company's liability based on the information currently available. As a general rule, the Company accrues remediation costs for continuing operations on a discounted basis and does not accrue for normal operating and maintenance costs for site monitoring and compliance requirements. It has not been necessary for the Company to record any environmental remediation costs for 2013 and 2012.

Capital Leases
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had no capital leases. As a lessee, we determine if a lease is a capital lease if it meets one of four of the following criteria:
 
 
The ownership of the leased property transfers to us by the end of the lease term, or shortly thereafter, in exchange for the payment of a nominal fee.
 
The lease contains a bargain purchase option.
 
The lease term is equal to 75% or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property.
 
The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executor costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90% of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.
  
Asset Retirement Obligation
 
The Company may have an obligation to retire property, plant, and equipment at the end of their useful fives. The Company performs periodic reviews for any changes in facts and circumstances that might enable it to determine a reasonable estimate of any asset retirement obligation (“ARO”). When an ARO is necessary, the Company estimates the fair value, establishes a liability, and increases the carrying value of the assets by a corresponding amount.
 
An ARO associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is required to be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. Under this method, when liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related assets (mineral, oil and natural gas properties) is increased. The fair value of the ARO asset and liability is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset.  The estimated residual salvage values are taken into account in determining amortization and depreciation rates.
 
Generally, the salvage value of the Company’s producing wells or mining deposits is expected to exceed the cost of site restoration and abandonment. To date, mining and exploration activities of the Company's mineral deposits have been conducted by contract mining companies. As mining activity increases, the Company may accrue site restoration costs as appropriate.
 
As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has accrued future abandonment costs of $10,000 of costs associated with the potential abandonment and restoration of a mining deposit that was abandoned prior to fiscal 2010.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company’s only financial instruments are cash, short-term trade receivables, payables and debt. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, short-term trade receivables, payables and debt approximate fair values because of the immediate nature of short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The Company has no long-term or short-term bank debt outstanding at September 30, 2013.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Oil and Gas Sales 
 
Oil and natural gas revenue is recognized when the oil or natural gas is delivered to or collected by the respective purchaser, a sales agreement exists, collection for amounts billed is reasonably assured and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Title to the produced quantities transfers to the purchaser at the time the purchaser collects or receives the products. In the case of oil sales, title is transferred to the purchaser when the oil leaves the stock tanks and enters the purchaser’s trucks. In the case of gas production, title is transferred when the gas passes through the meter of the purchaser. It is the measurement of the purchaser that determines the amount of oil or gas purchased (although there are provisions for challenging these measurements if the Company believes the measurements are incorrect). Prices for such production are defined in sales contracts and may be based on certain publicly available indices. The purchasers of such production have historically made payment for oil and natural gas purchases within 30-60 days of the end of each production month. The Company periodically reviews the difference between the date of production and the date the Company collects payment for such production to ensure that receivables from those purchasers are collectible. The point of sale for the oil and natural gas production is at its applicable measurement facility; generally, the Company does not incur transportation costs related to our sales of oil and natural gas production. The Company does not currently participate in any gas-balancing arrangements. The Company does not recognize revenue for oil production held in stock tanks before delivery to the purchaser.
 
To the extent actual quantities and values of oil and natural gas are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third parties, the expected sales volumes and price for those properties are estimated and recorded as Accounts Receivable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Well Management Revenue
 
The amounts which may be charged by the Company for well management are set forth in the joint operating agreements governing the wells operated by the Company. Such well management fees consist of monthly operating charges as well as fees related to certain maintenance and capital improvements charged by the Company as operator of the applicable properties. Revenue is recognized when such fees are earned pursuant to the terms of such underlying agreements and collection for amounts billed is reasonably assured.
 
Mineral Sales
 
Mineral sales revenue is recognized when the mineral is delivered to or collected by the respective purchaser, a sales agreement exists, collection for amounts billed is reasonably assured and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Title to the product transfers to the purchaser at the time the purchaser collects or receives the products.
 
Income Taxes
 
We provide for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We evaluate our tax positions in a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 10.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
We account for all stock-based compensation (options) in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Under ASC 718, the fair value of stock options and compensation costs are measured as of the grant date.  Under ASC 718, stock-based awards granted prior to its adoption will be expensed over the remaining portion of their vesting period. We amortize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period, which generally ranges from one to five years.
 
ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates.  Stock-based compensation expense has been recorded for 2013 and 2012 such that expense was recorded only for those stock-based awards that are expected to vest. Options granted to non-employees are recognized in these consolidated financial statements as compensation expense (See Note 9) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

During March 2012, management of the Company concluded that the securities available for future sale were permanently impaired and accordingly $5,699 was recognized as impairment of securities available for future sale in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and is reflected in net loss for 2012. See Note 5.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Net income (loss) per share is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be antidilutive.

At September 30, 2013 and 2012, options and warrants to purchase 26,144,000 and 5,250,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding. Such shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because such shares subject to options and warrants would have an antidilutive effect on net loss per share. The 321,429 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the 7.25% Convertible Debentures (see Note 6) at September 30, 2013 and 2012 have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share. The 1,071,937 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Note Payable as of September 30, 2012 (see Note 6) have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share and because the price at which such shares are convertible was in excess of the market price of the Common Stock at September 30, 2012. The 1,080,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 (see Note 9), have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the price ($1.25) at which such shares are convertible was in excess of the market price of the Common Stock at such date. No other adjustments were made for purposes of per share calculations.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
At times during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the cash balance exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s limit of $250,000. There were no losses incurred due to such concentrations.
 
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to changes in commodity prices.
 
The Company also depends on a relatively small number of purchasers for a substantial portion of our revenue. At September 30, 2013, accounts receivable includes approximately $225,399 of joint interest billings and production receivables due primarily from four customers – ETC Texas Pipeline, Ltd., GulfMark Energy, Inc., Sheridan Production Company LLC and Volunteer Energy Services, Inc.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The ASU’s main provision: An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and early adoption is permitted. Entities are permitted to provide the new disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption may have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (topic 210), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities The ASU’s main provision: The amendments clarify that the scope of Update 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities are required to provide the new disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2013, WRC received an enforcement action from the Texas Railroad Commission (“RRC”). Due to the enforcement action, the renewal of WRC’s operator's permit was suspended until such action is resolved.  Certain of WRC’s operated wells continue to pump and oil is stored oil in production tanks. Certain of WRC’s operated wells are not producing as the respective production tanks have reached their capacity limitations. WRC is not permitted to sell oil until its operator’s permit is renewed.  As such, the Company's consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2014 will be significantly lower than the first quarter of 2013. Depending on the timing of the resolution of the renewal of such permit, the Company's consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2014 may also be higher or lower than the second quarter of 2013.  Management of the company anticipates the renewal of the operator’s permit to be completed during the second quarter of 2014; however there can be no assurances as to when the renewal of WRC’s operator’s permit will be approved by the RRC and when the sales of oil from WRC’s operated properties will resume. 
 
Sale of Oil and Gas Property Leasehold Deep Rights
 
On January 20, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell certain oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights in Pennsylvania for cash of $898,335, subject to adjustment as to any title defect that is not cured within the timeframe permitted by the PSA. The sale closed on March 28, 2012. The Company received $898,335 at the closing and recognized gain in the amount of proceeds received. The oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights that were sold were undeveloped, and as such not income-producing to the Company. There is no material relationship between the purchaser of the assets and the registrant or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the registrant, or any associate of any such director or officer. A provision of the Agreement requires that the Company shall not make any public announcement or statement concerning the Agreement other than that which the Company is required to disclose on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also see Note 15 for asset purchase and sale agreement entered into subsequent to September 30, 2013.

MINERAL PROPERTIES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Clean Age Minerals, Inc.
 
DRC acquired CAMI in September 2000. CAMI, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CA Properties, Inc., a Nevada corporation, owns or has under long-term lease: (a) approximately 5,200 acres in Marfa, Presidio County, Texas, containing high grade zeolite; (b) twenty-five mining claims located in Sierra County, New Mexico, covering approximately 2,720 acres of kaolin; and (c) eleven zeolite mining claims covering approximately 220 acres located in Beaver County, Utah. The Company has not produced large-scale quantities of any of its mineral deposits. During 2013 and 2012, the Company continued extraction of minor quantities of its zeolite for use in testing and field trial applications of ReNuGen™ and for testing in air purification and soil decontamination. During September 2013, the company produced saleable minerals from its Texas Zeolite. The Company is in the production phase of its Texas Zeolite as saleable minerals have been extracted (produced) from such mineral deposit. By definition, the Company is in the Development Stage in respect to its Texas Zeolite and is in the Exploration Stage in respect to its Sierra Kaolin and Utah Zeolite. The Company’s ability to develop these mineral deposits is dependent on its success in bringing in strategic partners with experience or a demand for specific minerals and raising capital through third parties.

Consistent with the provisions of the Note, the Company made monthly payments of principal of $1,250 plus interest. At September 30, 2011, the balance of the Note was $30,454. The loan was secured by certain personal assets of Dov Amir, a former Director of the Company. During April 2012, the Board and Audit Committee approved and the Company paid the entirety of the principal and interest due First Citizens Bank. Certain assets of Amir (“Amir Assets”) were pledged as collateral for the Company’s note payable to First Citizens Bank. Thus, the Company has fulfilled its obligation of a provision of the Convertible Note Payable to Amir regarding the Amir Assets (see below).
 
Convertible Note Payable and Amir Settlement Agreement
 
On July 12, 2011, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Dov Amir (“Amir”), a former director of the Company, whereby, among other provisions, (a) the Company issued 419,292 shares of Common Stock ($0.25 per share) in payment of a portion of amounts due to Amir on a note payable ($45,485) and Series A Preferred Stock Dividends ($59,338); (b) the option granted to Amir in December 2009 to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock became fully vested; (c) certain assets of Amir shall remain pledged as collateral for the Company’s note payable to First Citizens Bank; and (d) the Company entered into a note payable to Amir for the balance of all amounts due Amir ($391,154). The note matures on December 31, 2015 with interest at 4% per annum, compounded annually. The note does not require any interim principal and interest payments by the Company. Further, Amir was granted the right to convert any and all amounts due him under the note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share.
 
In connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock, the Company recognized $12,579 as interest expense in 2011. Such amount was determined based on the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock in comparison to the conversion price on the date of the issuance of the shares. As a result of the full vesting of the option granted to Amir in December 2009, the Company recognized $20,900 of stock-based compensation expense during 2011. As a result of granting the conversion rights relating to the note, the Company recognized $46,938 as a discount on the note resulting from the beneficial conversion feature and such discount is being amortized through the maturity date of the note. The discount was determined based on the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock in comparison to the conversion price on the date of the note.
 
During April 2012, the Board and the Audit Committee approved and the Company paid $70,000 in cash and issued 140,000 shares of Common Stock to Amir in payment of interest due of $11,471 and a $128,529 reduction in the principal balance of the note. See the above discussion regarding the Company’s note payable to First Citizens Bank. The total consideration (cash and common stock) of $93,800 was $46,200 less than the $140,000 of total principal reduction and interest paid; however, the total consideration paid of $93,800 was $1,400 less than the $95,200 if-converted value of the principal and interest. The if-converted value was determined based on the conversion price of $0.25 per share per the terms of the note and valuing the 560,000 if-converted shares at $0.17 per share. The Company did not recognize any gain on extinguishment of such portion of the indebtedness due to the existence of the conversion privilege.

A Director (Maxwell) owns all of the outstanding Debentures at September 30, 2013. The principal amount of the Debentures ($45,000) exceeds the if-converted value of the Debentures at September 30, 2013 by approximately $10,000.
 
The Company has defaulted on its obligation to pay principal and interest on the Debentures and the Debentures are classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
As a condition of the $1,500,000 capital stock purchase by FEI and DTE in March 2013 pursuant to the SPA, Mr. Maxwell entered into a Forbearance Agreement in respect to all principal and interest owed and owing to the Director in respect to the Debentures. The Company paid interest due on the Debentures of $9,487 to the Director as required by the forbearance agreement. Such Director has agreed to forbear from making a demand on the Company for payment of the Debentures for a period of two (2) years from the date of the SPA. Mr. Maxwell is entitled to receive Accelerated Payments as defined above.
 
As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, accrued but unpaid interest totaled $1,689 and $7,913, respectively.

DALECO RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012
 
 
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide for authorized capital stock of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. No Series A Preferred shares are outstanding at September 30, 2013 and no such shares were issued or outstanding during 2013 and 2012. The 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”) was issued in the acquisition of Clean Age Minerals, Inc. in September 2000. The Series B Preferred Stock can be converted to common stock at 85% of the average closing price of the 5 days before the date of conversion with a minimum amount of $1.25 per share. Thus, at September 30, 2013, the 135,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were convertible into 1,080,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
Further, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (i) earn dividends at the rate of 8% per annum computed on the basis of a 365 day year, and (ii) have priority in liquidation to the extent of the stated value of $10.00 per share plus any unpaid dividends over any other preferred stock, common stock or any other stock issued after September 19, 2000. At September 30, 2013, the liquidation preference totals $3,392,239 (stated value of $1,350,000 plus arrearages in cumulative dividends of $2,042,239).
 
During 2013 and 2012, there were no dividend payments (cash or otherwise) in respect to the Common Stock.
 
Series A Preferred Stock
 
No shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued during 2013 and 2012. No shares were outstanding at September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011. During fiscal 2011, the Company paid $59,338 of dividends on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock by issuing 237,352 shares of Common Stock (see Note 6).
 
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
 
No shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value of $0.01 per share, were issued during 2013 and 2012.
 
During 2012, 10,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 80,000 shares of Common Stock as discussed in Note 7. During 2013 and 2012, there were no cash dividend payments in respect to the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
The only dividends paid prior to fiscal 2012 on the Company's Series B Preferred Stock were in shares of Common Stock at the time of conversion of the respective shares of such Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
 
At September 30, 2011, dividends payable on Series B Preferred shares totaled $1,914,558. As of October 1, 2011, the beginning of fiscal 2012, the Company no longer accrues dividends on the Series B Preferred shares due to the very low probability that the holders of the Series B Preferred shares at September 30, 2011, will elect to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock. Also, the Company is not required to pay dividends by issuing shares of its Common Stock. The Company intends to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred shares when its financial condition makes any such payment appropriate. Accordingly, Preferred Stock Dividends Payable in respect to the Series B Preferred Stock of $1,826,239 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been classified as a long-term liability.
 
During the third quarter of 2012, Carl Haessler, a Director, accepted 73,854 shares of Common Stock as satisfaction for any and all dividends due him ($92,318 of which $88,319 were accrued) in respect to his direct holdings of 30,000 shares of Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock through the date of the conversion of 10,000 of such shares.
 
At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the arrearages in cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock totals $2,042,239 and $1,934,239, respectively, of which $1,826,239 was accrued at each respective date.
 
Subscriptions Receivable
 
At September 30, 2011, the notes receivable totaling $576,000 from Messrs. Benediktson and Trynin, as discussed in Note 11, are classified as Subscriptions Receivable. As of September 30, 2012, management of the Company believed that the collection of the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to such notes receivable is in doubt. As of September 30, 2012, the Company changed to the recovery method in accounting for the notes receivable and interest thereon and the principal and interest will be recorded when, and if, collected. Subscriptions receivable and additional paid-in capital were each reduced $576,000 as of September 30, 2012, to reflect the impairment of the notes receivable.
 
During 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Benediktson as discussed in Note 11; thus, at September 30, 2013, the note receivable from Mr. Trynin of $256,000 and accrued interest of $100,331 remain outstanding. As of September 30, 2013, management of the Company believes that the collection of the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to such note receivable is in doubt and are fully impaired and not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of the option was determined to be $11,656 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in June 2013, Mr. Grady was not re-elected to serve as a Director; accordingly, the option expired unexercised in accordance with its terms.
 
(4)
Effective March 25, 2013, the Company granted an option for the purchase of 1.2 million shares of Common Stock to Michael Parrish, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.14 per share.

In the third through fifth years of such term, the exercise price may be satisfied by exchanging Common Stock at the current market price. The FEI/DTE Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during such term. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $806,838 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
(7)
In connection with the 2013 Private Placement through September 30, 2013, the Company has issued warrants for the purchase of 1,644,000 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on January 16, 2018. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $120,983 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
In March 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved the Non-qualified Independent Director Stock Option Plan pursuant to which 800,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for grants for options. In June 2013, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Independent Directors Non-qualified Stock Option Plan of the Company from 800,000 shares to 1.6 million shares and to extend the period during which grants may be made. Each Director eligible for an award under the plan receives an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the average of the bid and asked closing prices for the Company’s Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the award. These option rights vest over a three-year period (but only while the recipient is a Director) - 100,000 shares on the first anniversary date and 50,000 shares on each of the second and third anniversary dates. The options expire five (5) years after issuance. In 2011, Charles T. Maxwell was awarded an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share. In 2007, David A. Grady was elected to the Board of Directors and was awarded an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.28 per share (such option expired unexercised in 2012). In 2010, Lord John Gilbert was awarded an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per share. As of September 30, 2013, two options to purchase a total of 400,000 shares of Common Stock have been awarded to Directors and remain unexercised at that date.
 
No options to purchase shares of Common Stock were granted during 2012. Options to purchase 1,450,000 shares of Common Stock were granted during 2013. Options to purchase 400,000 and 200,000 shares of Common Stock expired during 2012 and 2013, respectively. Options to purchase 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2013, are held by officers, directors and employees of the Company (“Insiders”). The exercise prices for the options held by Insiders at September 30, 2013, range from $0.14 per share to $0.22 per share (average exercise price of $0.18 per share).
 
In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for 2013 and 2012 of $148,109 and $97,326, respectively, relating to stock options granted to Insiders. Such expense is included in general and administrative expenses. No tax benefit has been recognized. Compensation costs are based on the fair value at the grant date. The fair value of the options has been estimated by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rates between 0.24% and 2.43%: expected life of two to five years; and expected volatility between 37% and 236%.
 
At September 30, 2012, there were 2,150,000 shares of Common Stock underlying options unexercised (weighted-average exercise price of $0.22 per share) of which 650,000 shares underlying options were not vested (weighted-average exercise price of $0.22 per share; weighted-average grant-date fair value of $0.21 per share).

INCOME TAXES
 
At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has current federal and state taxes payable of $192,427 and no deferred tax asset or liability. The income tax liabilities arose primarily from alternative minimum tax for fiscal 2004. The Company has accrued and unpaid interest of $77,331 and $92,531 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for interest related to the federal and state income taxes. Interest expense related to tax liabilities of $15,600 and $13,050 for 2013 and 2012, respectively, is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
During February 2012, the Company entered into an installment agreement with the Department of Treasury – Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in respect to income taxes and interest thereon relating to alternative minimum tax for fiscal 2004. The agreement requires monthly payments of not less than $2,150 commencing in February 2012 and continuing for 72 months or until the balance ($153,514 as of February 1, 2012) has been paid in full. The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien. The Company will request audit reconsideration and continue to submit information to the IRS which supports the Company’s position that it was not subject to alternative minimum tax related to fiscal 2004.
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at September 30, 2013, operating loss carryforwards of approximately $24 million, which may be applied against future taxable income and will expire in various years through 2028. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined at this time. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards; therefore, no net deferred tax asset has been recognized. No potential benefit of these losses has been recognized in the financial statements. The company may be subject to IRC code section 382 which could limit the amount of the net operating loss and tax credit carryovers that can be used in future years.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.
 
The income tax effects of timing differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS
 
Benediktson and Trynin
 
In August 2005, the Company entered into employment contracts with Stephan V. Benediktson as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Nathan Trynin as Executive Vice President. The employment contracts contain bonus provisions tied to the performance of the Company's stock. Mr. Benediktson and Mr. Trynin were given the right to acquire 1 million and 800,000 shares, respectively, of common stock of the Company at $0.37 per share - the average of the bid and ask closing price for the five trading days prior to the effective dates of their contracts. Each party exercised that right in September 2005. Mr. Benediktson and Mr. Trynin paid $90,000 in cash and entered into notes with the Company totaling $576,000 to cover their purchase of the stock offered by their employment agreements. The notes earn interest at the prime rate of interest charged from time to time by the PNC Bank, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The notes, as amended in fiscal 2010 (the “Amended Notes Receivable”), mature in August 2015. The Company holds respective shares of its common stock as collateral for the notes. The notes have recourse only to the collateral and the stock will not be released and until their notes are satisfied in full in accordance with their terms. Interest due pursuant to these notes totaled $207,025 at September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, management of the Company believed that the collection of the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to such notes receivable is in doubt. As of September 30, 2012, the Company changed to the recovery method in accounting for the notes receivable and interest thereon, and the principal and interest will be recorded when, and if, collected. This change to the recovery method resulted in the recognition of $207,025 as an impairment of the interest receivable at September 30, 2012. The principal balance of the notes receivable ($576,000) was previously reflected as subscriptions receivable. Subscriptions receivable and additional paid-in capital were each reduced $576,000 as of September 30, 2012, to reflect the impairment of the notes receivable. During 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Benediktson as discussed below; thus, at September 30, 2013, the note receivable from Mr. Trynin of $256,000 and accrued interest of $100,331 remain outstanding. As of September 30, 2013, management of the Company believes that the collection of the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to such note receivable is in doubt and are fully impaired and not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
In accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 12 of Mr. Benediktson’s and Mr. Trynin’s employment agreements, each was entitled to receive a bonus based on the increase, if any, of the value of the Company’s shares over the prior year. The bonus is computed using the formula set forth in Paragraph 12 (b) in their respective employment agreements. In August 2007, Messrs. Benediktson and Trynin resigned from their respective positions with the Company. On August 8, 2007 the Board of Directors approved bonuses aggregating $1,373,831. The Amended Notes Receivable included a provision by which such bonuses are payable in August 2015. As per the terms of the respective agreement, the Company is not obligated to pay interest on the unpaid bonus amounts. Mr. Trynin died in November 2011.
 
On August 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange and Settlement Agreement (the “SESA”) with Mr. Benediktson. Pursuant to the SESA, the parties have agreed to settle all obligations between them. The Company (i) issued 2,169,400 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) released from escrow the 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were collateral for a note receivable from Mr. Benediktson. Such settlement resulted in reductions of $915,887 of accrued bonus expense due to Mr. Benediktson, $37,448 of accounts receivable due from Mr. Benediktson and the principal balance of and interest due pursuant to a certain note receivable from Mr. Benediktson ($444,559). The principal balance and interest thereon was impaired as discussed above. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the settlement of all obligations between the parties.

Parrish
 
On August 23, 2012, the Company, entered into an agreement with Michael D. Parrish to become the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Board of Directors of the Company.

LITIGATION
 
During October 2009, a working interest owner commenced an action against a subsidiary of the Company (“WRC”) in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, for an accounting of expense and revenues for six wells. WRC, through its Texas counsel, had filed a general denial of the claim. In November 2009, WRC provided the plaintiff with a complete accounting for all wells in question. The plaintiff sought additional discovery and WRC has provided additional information. During July 2012, WRC and certain owners of overriding royalty and working interests in oil and gas wells operated by WRC agreed to the general terms of a settlement agreement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement (effective September 1, 2012), WRC paid $120,000 in cash for (i) settlement of all amounts due from WRC to such certain owners and (ii) the acquisition of the working interest ownership position of the respective entities. The parties entered into mutual releases and the litigation was terminated with prejudice.
 
During September 2010, a complaint was filed against WRC in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, seeking judgment in respect to $92,921 owed to a vendor of WRC. In November 2010, the vendor agreed to dismiss its complaint against WRC after a settlement agreement was reached whereby WRC made an initial payment of $30,000 in cash and delivered 357,677 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (consideration to the vendor of $42,921). The Company did not retire the remaining obligation by March 1, 2011, as required by the settlement agreement. The remaining obligation of $20,000 was satisfied by the Company during fiscal 2012.
 
In July 2012, certain owners of royalty interests in certain oil and gas wells operated by WRC commenced an action against WRC in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, for, among other things, an accounting of expense and revenues for certain wells. The plaintiff also alleged that WRC failed to fully develop the lease. The lease is held by production by inclusion in a production unit for certain wells and is fully developed. WRC, through its Texas counsel, has filed a general denial of the claim.
 
In August 2012, a surface owner in certain property on which a natural gas gathering system right-of-way is owned by a subsidiary of the Company (“DRIOP”) commenced an action against DRIOP in the Circuit Court of Randolph County, West Virginia, alleging interference with access by such surface owner to and from certain property. DRIOP, through its West Virginia counsel, has filed a general denial of the claim.
 
In October 2012, certain owners of royalty interests in certain oil and gas wells operated by WRC commenced an action against a subsidiary of the Company (“WRC”) in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, for, among other things, an accounting of expense and revenues for certain wells.  The plaintiff also alleged that WRC failed to fully develop the lease. The lease is held by production by inclusion in a production unit for certain wells and is fully developed. WRC, through its Texas counsel, has filed a general denial of the claim.

OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVE QUANTITIES (UNAUDITED)
 
All of the Company’s oil and gas activities are conducted in the continental United States of America. Proved reserves are the estimated quantities which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operation conditions. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. These reserve estimates were prepared by independent engineers and are based on current technology and economic conditions. The Company considers such estimates to be reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, estimates of underground reserves are imprecise and subject to change over time as additional information becomes available.
 
In September 2013, WRC received an enforcement action from the Texas Railroad Commission (“RRC”). Due to the enforcement action, the renewal of WRC’s operator's permit was suspended until such action is resolved.  Certain of WRC’s operated wells continue to pump and oil is stored oil in production tanks. Certain of WRC’s operated wells are not producing as the respective production tanks have reached their capacity limitations. WRC is not permitted to sell oil until its operator’s permit is renewed.  As such, the Company's consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2014 will be significantly lower than the first quarter of 2013. Depending on the timing of the resolution of the renewal of such permit, the Company's consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2014 may also be higher or lower than the second quarter of 2013.  Management of the company anticipates the renewal of the operator’s permit to be completed during the second quarter of 2014; however there can be no assurances as to when the renewal of WRC’s operator’s permit will be approved by the RRC and when the sales of oil from WRC’s operated properties will resume. During the first quarter of 2014, WRC’s operated properties in Texas produced 362 net barrels of oil but WRC had no oil sales from such properties. During the first quarter of 2013, WRC’s operated properties in Texas produced 493 net barrels of oil, WRC sold 574 net barrels of oil from such properties and WRC recognized oil revenue of $53,094 from such properties.
  
Hall Energy, Inc. (“Hall”), an independent petroleum engineering firm, evaluated all of the Company’s proved reserves on a consolidated basis as of September 30, 2013 and 2012. A copy of the summary reserve report is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The technical person responsible for preparing our proved reserves estimates meets the requirements with regards to qualifications, independence, objectivity and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Hall does not own an interest in any of our properties and is not employed by us on a contingent basis.
 
The President of the Company works closely with Hall to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of the data used to calculate the Company’s proved reserves. The President meets with Hall to discuss the assumptions and methods used in the estimation process. The Company provides historical information to Hall for the properties such as ownership, oil and gas production, well test data, commodity prices and operating and development costs. The preparation of the proved reserve estimates are completed in accordance with our internal control procedures which include verification of input data used by Hall, as well as extensive management review and approval.
 
All of the reserve estimates are reviewed and approved by the President of the Company. The President of the Company holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering with more than 37 years of experience in preparing reserve reports under the guidelines of the SEC with both major and independent oil and gas entities.
 
The Company has identified fifteen (15) potential development and redevelopment opportunities associated with its existing leasehold acreage in Texas. The economic viability and development timing of these opportunities has been evaluated in terms of the prevailing market conditions as part of the annual reserve estimates. The development timing is impacted by producing wells as certain acreage is not available to be included in a developmental unit until production from certain currently producing wells becomes uneconomic. Such reserves remain classified as to probable reserves as no progress was made during 2013 and 2012 to convert such reserves to proved developed reserves. The Company believes that the potential for the development of such locations will occur within the next few years as a result of renewed interest in the area of its properties. The prevailing oil price and the development of properties in “resource plays” in the area of the Company’s acreage are major factors contributing to such interest. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has assigned probable and possible reserves to the fifteen (15) potential developmental locations.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows from Estimated Production OF Proved Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited)
 
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves after income taxes is presented in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 932, "Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas" (“ASC 932”). In computing this data, assumptions other than those mandated by ASC 932 could produce substantially different results. The Company cautions against viewing this information as a forecast of future economic conditions or revenues. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is determined by using estimated quantities of proved reserves and taking into account the future periods in which they have been projected to be developed and produced. Estimated future production is priced at the average price received for 2013 and 2012 for the amounts at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The resulting estimated future cash inflows are reduced by estimated future costs to develop and produce the proved reserves. The future pretax net cash flows are then reduced further by deducting future income tax expenses as applicable. The resultant net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying the ASC 932 mandated 10% discount factor.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Litigation
 
At the request of the plaintiffs, the parties have agreed to a continuance to March 2014 regarding the litigation involving DRIOP (see Note 12).
 
Premium Finance Agreement
 
During November 2013, the Company entered into a Commercial Premium Finance Agreement for $21,821 to finance certain insurance premiums. The maturity date of the agreement is September 1, 2014, and the interest rate is 7.95%. Consistent with the provisions of the agreement, the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal and interest of $2,262.
 
Grants of Options to Purchase Common Stock
 
On November 21, 2013, three Directors (Carter, Porfido and Sobieski) of the Company were each granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share under the Company’s Non-qualified Independent Director Stock Option Plan. The options are exercisable through November 2018. The options vest 50% in November 2014 and 25% in each of November 2015 and 2016. The fair value of the options was determined to be $52,449 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. On February 10, 2014, Mr. Porfido resigned from the Board and, accordingly, the option granted to him expired effective with his resignation.
 
Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement – Certain Oil and Gas Assets
 
On October 6, 2013 but effective as of September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (“APA”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its interest in certain oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights for certain properties located in Burleson County, Texas (“Properties”), for cash, subject to adjustment as to any title defect that is not cured within the timeframe permitted by such agreement. On November 5, 2013, the closing date was delayed from November 6, 2013, to December 6, 2013, in accordance with the APA to allow the Company to address title issues raised by the buyer on November 1, 2013. A First Amendment to the APA was entered into on December 5, 2013, extending the “Delayed Closing Date” until December 17, 2013. On December 17, 2013, the parties closed on the sale of 280 net acres attributable to the Company’s interest in the Properties covered by this portion of the transaction. The Company received $448,038 at the closing and will recognize gain in the amount of proceeds received. The oil and natural gas leasehold deep rights that were sold were undeveloped, and as such not income-producing to the Company. On December 16, 2013, a Second Amendment to the APA was entered into by the Company and the Buyer to extend the Delayed Closing Date to January 16, 2014 as to certain Properties to allow the parties to continue to address the Buyer’s concerns about certain issues with the remaining Properties that did not close on December 17, 2013.

The fair values of the warrants and the extension of the previously issued warrants was determined to be $58,924 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The effective interest rate of the loan is 24%.
  
Management Evaluation - Management performed an evaluation of Company activity through the date the audited consolidated financial statements were prepared for issuance, and concluded that there are no other significant subsequent events requiring disclosure.

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
None.
 
Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.
 
(a)           Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management must apply its judgment in evaluating the cost–benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
As required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on the foregoing and as more fully described below,  Management has identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Therefore, based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2013.
 
(b)           Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
                1.             Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
                2.             Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
 
                3.             Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of an unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled  Internal Control – Integrated Framework  published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the most recent year.
 
 
79

 
Management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013 as a result of a material weakness in the internal communication and disclosure of a certain regulatory report received by one of the Company’s subsidiaries from the State of Texas, causing a delay in the timely filing of this Form 10-K.  A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  To remedy this material weakness, the Company has retained legal counsel in Texas to assist in resolving any current and future issues with the State of Texas.  Additionally, the Company has implemented certain metrics which are reviewed monthly by management and the Board of Directors to timely identify potential items requiring disclosure and assist in the timely filing of required SEC reports.  The Company also will increase its oversight of its subsidiaries to include periodic reviews by a responsible party of the websites of the various states in which it operates, for regulatory reports that could impact the financial reporting and disclosures, and report directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report by our registered independent public accounting firm regarding our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, as SEC rules do not require such an attestation report.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Except as otherwise discussed herein, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
Director Nominee Procedures
 
There have been no changes in the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors after the Company last provided disclosure of such procedures.
 
Nominating and Governance Committee
 
The Board has established a nominating and governance committee (the “Nominating and Governance Committee”) that, at September 30, 2013, consisted of Messrs. Carter, Maxwell and Porfido, with Mr. Maxwell serving as Chairman. Mr. Portfido resigned on February 10, 2014. It has been determined by the Board that each member of the Nominating and Governance Committee met NASDAQ independence requirements. The Nominating and Governance Committee members were appointed at a September 2013 meeting of the Board, but are generally appointed annually by the Board at its annual meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Committee operates pursuant to a charter that was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2008. A copy of the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter can be found on the Company’s website (www.dalecorsources.com) and is attached as Exhibit 3.5.  The duties of the Nominating and Governance Committee include identification and nominations to the Board of candidates for election as Directors of the Company and the development and review of the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles. As part of its assigned duties, the Nominating and Governance Committee will review the Corporate Governance Policy principles and report to the Board as to their acceptability in scope and application, as well as recommend any future amendments thereto. The Nominating and Governance Committee held four meetings during fiscal 2013.
 
The Nominating and Governance Committee uses different sources to identify Board candidates, including the Company’s executive officers and current members of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee also considers the nomination of candidates for Director recommended by Stockholders in conformance with the appropriate tests and standards. The Nominating and Governance Committee uses the same manner and process for evaluating every candidate for Board membership, regardless of the original source of the candidate’s nomination. Recommendations to the Nominating and Governance Committee from Stockholders regarding candidates must be delivered to the Company’s Corporate Secretary no later than the close of the Company’s fiscal year, September 30, prior to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which the nominating shareholder proposes that the recommended candidate stand for election.
 
Article III of the Company’s By-laws authorizes Director nominations to be made by Stockholders if the conditions specified therein are met, including the giving of advance notice and the furnishing of certain personal background information and a written statement from the proposed candidate agreeing to be identified in the proxy statement as a nominee and, if elected, to serve as a Director. The Nominating and Governance Committee currently has not set specific, minimum qualifications or criteria for nominees that it proposes for Board membership, but evaluates the entirety of each candidate’s credentials. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes, however, that the Company will be best served if its Directors bring to the Board a variety of experience and backgrounds and, among other things, demonstrated integrity, executive leadership and financial, marketing or business knowledge and experience.

Audit Committee
 
The Board has established an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) in accordance with Section 3(a) (58) (A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that, at September 30, 2013, consisted of Messrs. Maxwell, Porfido and Sobieski, with Mr. Sobieski serving as Chairman. Mr. Porfido resigned on February 10, 2014. It has been determined by the Board that each member of the Audit Committee meets the applicable NASDAQ independence requirements and that Mr. Sobieski is an Audit Committee “financial expert,” as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, due to his business experience and background described above. The Audit Committee members were appointed at a September 2013 meeting of the Board, but are generally appointed annually by the Board at its annual meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter that was adopted by the Board in December 2005. A copy of the Audit Committee charter can be found on the Company’s website (www.dalecoresources.com) and is attached as Exhibit 3.2. The duties of the Audit Committee include the responsibility of reviewing financial information (both external and internal) about the Company and its subsidiaries so as to assure (i) that the overall audit coverage of the Company and its subsidiaries is satisfactory and appropriate to protect the stockholders from undue risks and (ii) that an adequate system of internal financial control has been designed and implemented throughout the Company and is being effectively maintained. Additionally, the Audit Committee has sole authority and direct responsibility with respect to the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, or independent auditor. Also, as part of its duties, the Audit Committee has adopted procedures for receiving and acting on complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing issues. Such complaints should be sent to the attention of the Corporate Secretary’s Office, Daleco Resources Corporation, 17 Wilmont Mews, 5th Floor, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19382. The Audit Committee held six meetings during fiscal 2013.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
 
The following report has been submitted by the Audit Committee:
 
The Audit Committee is comprised solely of Independent Directors, under the requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and SEC rules. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Sobieski is a “financial expert” as defined by Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee held six meetings during fiscal 2013. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which is available on the corporate governance page of the Company’s web site at www.dalecoresources.com and is attached as Exhibit 3.2.
 
Under the charter, the Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:
 
Appointment and oversight of the independent auditor;
Approval of the fees and other compensation to be paid to the Company’s independent auditor;
Pre-approval of all auditing services and permitted non-audit services by the Company’s independent auditor;
Review of the Company’s annual financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K;
Oversight of the review and response to complaints made to the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters; and,
Review and approval of related party transactions.
 
Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and a report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C. (“MHM”), is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, and issuing a report thereon. In the event that the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates on March 31 of a fiscal year (i.e., end of the second fiscal quarter) exceeds $75 million, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will be responsible in the subsequent fiscal year for auditing management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and also auditing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and issuing a report thereon. Such audits are performed in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the conduct of these activities and appointing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In performing its oversight function, the Audit Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.
 
 
84

 
In conducting its oversight function, the Audit Committee discusses with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee also reviews the Company’s programs and key initiatives to design, implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. The Audit Committee has sole discretion, in its areas of responsibility and at the Company’s expense, to engage independent advisors as it deems appropriate and to approve the fees and retention terms of such advisors.
 
The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examinations, the evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and MHM the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting with management. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with MHM its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 that such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and Vasquez & Company LLP (“Vasquez”) the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with Vasquez its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012, that such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The Audit Committee reviewed with MHM and Vasquez the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (The Auditor’s Communication With Those Charged With Governance). In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with MHM and Vasquez their independence from management, and the Audit Committee has received from MHM and Vasquez the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees).
 
Based on its review of the audited consolidated financial statements and discussions with management, MHM and Vasquez referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors the inclusion of the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the SEC.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation.
 
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
In this section, we discuss the principles underlying our executive compensation policies and decisions and the most important factors relevant to an analysis of these policies and decisions. We provide qualitative information regarding the manner and context in which compensation is awarded to, and earned by, our executive officers to give perspective to the data we present in the compensation tables, as well as the narratives that follow the tables.
 
Compensation Committee
 
The Board has established a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) that, at September 30, 2013, consisted of Messrs. Maxwell, Porfido and Sobieski, and Mr. Porfido served as Chairman through February 10, 2014, the date of his resignation. On February 12, 2014, the Mr. Carter was appointed to such committee and became Chairman. It has been determined by the Company’s Board of Directors that each member of the Compensation Committee meets NASDAQ independence requirements. The Compensation Committee members at September 30, 2013, were appointed at a September 2013 meeting of the Board, but are generally appointed annually by the Board at its annual meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Committee operates pursuant to a charter that was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2008. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter can be found on the Company’s website (www.dalecoresources.com) and is attached as Exhibit 3.6. The duties of the Compensation Committee include annual determination of the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and review and approval of goals and objectives relevant to his activities, review and approval of the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations as to the compensation to be paid other officers of the Company, establishing that all compensation for executive officers and other officers is in compliance with securities law provisions, and review and approval of the Company’s equity-based incentive programs. The By-laws do not provide the Compensation Committee with any delegation authority regarding its duties. See the discussion below under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Compensation of Directors” for more information about the Compensation Committee’s processes and procedures. The Compensation Committee held six meetings during fiscal 2013.

Executive Compensation Program Philosophy and Objectives
 
We reward our named executive officers (identified in our Summary Compensation Table below) for their efforts in helping us achieve market or above-market results and in helping us take important steps to meet our long-term strategic goals. As a result, our basic executive compensation philosophy remains to “pay for performance.”
 
For us, a “pay for performance” philosophy means providing market compensation packages when performance meets our expectations, but also realizing that results below our expectations may result in below-market compensation packages. To further this philosophy, we have designed our executive compensation program to achieve the following objectives:
 
attract, motivate and retain key executive talent;
incentivize our named executive officer to help us achieve superior financial and operational performance; and
continue to align our named executive officer’s compensation interests with our goal of creating long-term shareholder value.
 
We believe that our executive compensation program should not be overly influenced by the short-term performance of our stock, but should instead promote long-term shareholder value. Our executive officers are already individually focused on promoting long-term shareholder value because they are each significantly invested in our common stock. Our experience, however, has been that utilizing salary, annual cash incentive awards, and long-term equity-based awards as the primary elements of our executive compensation program are the best way to continue to align our executives’ compensation interests with our goal of promoting long-term shareholder value.
 
We also understand that our executive compensation program provides a starting point or baseline of comparison, for the compensation that we pay to our other employees. For this reason, we believe our executive compensation program should strike an appropriate balance among rewards, incentives and expectations.
 
While these broad concepts generally govern our executive compensation program, we also take into account specific factors particular to each executive officer when making individual compensation decisions, which we describe in detail below. These factors consist of the executive’s range of responsibilities and related performance measures, amounts paid to executive officers with similar responsibilities in similarly situated companies and other individual factors affecting each executive’s performance.
 
Compensation Administration
 
The Compensation Committee reviews and determines the compensation for our named executives. The compensation that we paid our named executive officers in fiscal years 2013 and 2012 is disclosed in detail in the tables and narratives below under the heading “Executive Compensation.” Our Compensation Committee is also responsible for, among other things, structuring and administering the compensation programs and plans in which our named executive officers participate.
 
Compensation Processes, Procedures and Benchmarking
 
Generally, our Compensation Committee establishes salaries for the current fiscal year and annual cash incentive award payouts for the prior fiscal year at its regularly scheduled April meeting. Historically, at this meeting, our Compensation Committee first reviews the elements of each named executive officers’ total compensation during the previous fiscal year. Our Chief Executive Officer then makes compensation recommendations to our Compensation Committee with respect to the executive officer who reports to him, but that officer is not present in the meeting during compensation deliberations. The chairman of the Compensation Committee then makes compensation recommendations in executive session to our Compensation Committee with respect to our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officer, who are absent from the meeting at that time.
 
 
86

 
Our Compensation Committee may accept or make adjustments to the recommendations it receives in establishing the final compensation for each of the named executive officers. In general, when setting each component of compensation for our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee considers the following performance factors:
 
our previous year’s operating results and whether we achieved our performance objectives;
the relative value of the executive’s unique skills, competencies and institutional knowledge;
the executive’s performance of management and officer responsibilities; and
the executive’s contribution toward our long-term strategic objectives and our goal of creating long-term shareholder value.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation is also approved by the full Board of Directors.
 
Our Compensation Committee granted equity incentive awards in fiscal 2013 and 2012.
  
We believe the total cash compensation paid (the combination of salary and incentives) to our named executive officers for fiscal 2013 was comparable to the compensation paid for executives holding similar positions in our peer group.
 
We believe the total cash compensation paid (the combination of salary and incentives) to our Chief Executive Officer for fiscal 2013 was competitive for executives holding similar positions in our peer group, but above the compensation historically paid by the Company. We believe the total cash compensation paid (the combination of salary and incentives) to our President/Chief Financial Officer for fiscal 2013 was below the compensation paid for executives holding similar positions in our peer group
 
Primary Elements of Compensation
    
Generally, we have established executive compensation objectives that are primarily focused on helping us create long-term shareholder value. We believe that we can best achieve our executive compensation program objectives by offering competitive short-term compensation combined with appropriate long-term equity-based compensation tied to our operating results and our achievement of incremental shareholder value. To this end, the primary elements of our executive compensation program are salary, short-term incentive awards, and long-term equity-based incentive awards, which are each described in detail below. Generally, we look at our named executive officers’ complete compensation arrangements when establishing salaries, annual cash awards, and short-term and long-term equity incentive awards.
 
Salaries
 
We provide our named executive with annual salaries both to attract and retain the executives and to provide them with a steady source of annual cash-based income. For each named executive officer, salary represents a non-“at risk” cash component of compensation. We establish our salaries at levels designed to reward our named executive officers for their overall level of expertise, responsibilities, experience and other factors unique to each individual officer, as determined by our Compensation Committee.
 
For fiscal year 2013, the amount of each named executive’s salary did not change substantially from such executive’s base fiscal year 2012 salary. Salaries earned by our named executive officers for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 appear below in the “Salary” column of our 2013 Summary Compensation Table.
 
The employment agreement (effective May 18, 2012) between the Company and Mr. Parrish is attached as Exhibit 10.26.  In November 2012, the Employment Contract with Mr. Parrish was renewed. Such contract was orally amended in December 2012 which resulted in a change in his annual base salary to $150,000. Effective March 25, 2013, pursuant to Section 6.1 of the 2013 SPA, Mr. Parrish’s employment was extended through December 31, 2013. Mr. Parrish and the Compensation Committee are in discussions regarding the contract.
 
The Company was in default in respect to payments required in 2013 and prior fiscal years pursuant to its agreement with Mr. Novinskie. See Exhibits 10.5 and 10.28 for the employment agreement with Mr. Novinskie.
 
See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding employment contracts of the Company.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards
 
Although the Company has never done so in the past, it is its desire to provide our named executive officers with annual cash incentive awards designed to motivate them to help us achieve our annual financial goals. The Board retains discretionary authority for any such awards recommended by the Compensation Committee. An annual cash incentive payment, if awarded, is made in the fiscal year following the year in which it is earned. No annual cash incentive payments were awarded for fiscal 2012 nor have any been awarded for fiscal 2013.
 
Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards
 
Historically, we have used stock options as the primary vehicle for providing long-term incentives to and rewarding our named executive officers for their efforts in helping to create long-term shareholder value. We have also considered stock options as a retention tool for executive talent. Both of these factors have helped our Compensation Committee determine in past years the type of award and the number of underlying shares that it granted in connection with an equity incentive award. We had historically believed that granting stock options was the best method for motivating named executive officers to manage our company in a manner consistent with the long-term interests of our shareholders because of the direct relationship between the value of a stock option and the market price of our common stock. The following factors, however, have caused us to reevaluate this approach, and we are considering using other forms of equity incentives in the future:
 
               the evolution of regulatory, tax and accounting treatment of equity incentive programs, and
               developments in our strategic objectives.
 
We have historically granted stock awards to our named executive officers in conjunction with our Compensation Committee’s regular meeting. See the Summary Compensation Table for information regarding options awarded to the named executive officers during fiscal 2013 and 2012.
 
We anticipate granting further equity awards to our named executive. We also anticipate refining the details of our equity award program, including revisiting our policies and practices regarding the timing of awards and Compensation Committee approval, when, and if, we grant equity awards to named executive officers.
 
Other Benefits
 
Our named executive officers are also eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans available to all salaried employees, including our group life, health, hospitalization and/or medical reimbursement plans. These plans do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation, in favor of executive officers or Directors and are available generally to all salaried employees. During fiscal 2013, we instituted a 401(k) savings plan which does not provide, at this time, for any contribution by the Company. We do not have a deferred compensation program. We do not make post-termination payments and benefits available to our named executive officers. The value of these benefits are reviewed annually by our Compensation Committee, but are not generally considered as part of the overall compensation program for purposes of allocating among cash, equity and other compensation.
 
Perquisites
 
We do not believe that providing perquisites to our named executive officers helps us achieve any of our compensation program objectives, including the promotion of long-term shareholder value. We limit the perquisites made available to our named executive officers that are not otherwise available to all salaried employees, and believe that this arrangement is consistent with our “pay for performance” philosophy. During fiscal 2013 and 2012, we offered our named executive officer no perquisites.
 
Health and Welfare Benefits
 
We provide healthcare, life and disability insurance and other employee benefits programs to our employees, including our named officers. We believe that these benefits are competitive within our peer group and, while not separate incentives by themselves because they do not help us achieve any of our compensation program objectives, are essential and expected parts of any compensation program. Our President is responsible for overseeing the administration of these programs. Our employee benefits programs are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to all salaried employees. These benefits include vacation and personal time; paid holidays; medical and long and short-term disability insurance programs.
 
 
88

 
Pension Benefits
 
We do not provide defined benefit pension arrangements or post-retirement health coverage for our named officers, as we do not believe that providing these types of benefits to our named officers helps us achieve any of our compensation program objectives, including the promotion of long-term shareholder value.
 
Retirement and Employee Stock Ownership Plans
 
During fiscal 2013, we instituted a 401(k) savings plan which does not provide, at this time, for any contribution by the Company. We do not provide any other form of a tax-qualified retirement plan, or any employee stock ownership plan.
 
Employment and Severance Agreements
 
We do maintain employment agreements with our named executive officers. Such agreements generally include specific cash payments in the event the named officer’s employment is terminated other than for cause or terminated by the named officer for good reason as set forth in such agreement. The agreements do not require the officer to mitigate the amount of benefits paid by seeking other employment, and the benefits payable under the agreement are not subject to reduction for other compensation earned by the officer after termination. The agreements do have expiration dates. We believe that these agreements were necessary for us to attract and retain these officers. See further disclosure below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for more information.
 
Stock Ownership Guidelines
 
As discussed above and as disclosed below in the beneficial ownership tables, our named executive officers have a substantial equity incentive and/ or equity interest in the Company. As a result, we do not have a formal policy requiring that our named executive officers own any predetermined amount of our stock. However, as indicated above, a primary objective of our “pay for performance” philosophy is to align our named executive officers’ compensation interests with our goal of creating long-term shareholder value. We therefore encourage our current named executive officers to continue to maintain an equity ownership in the company, which ownership further aligns their compensation interests with the interests of our shareholders.
 
Recoupment of Incentive Payments
 
We do not have a formal policy regarding adjusting or recovering annual cash incentive payments or long-term equity-based incentive awards if the relevant performance metrics upon which such awards or payments are based are later restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that reduces the actual size of the award or payment. Instead, we will consider making adjustments or recoveries on a case-by-case basis if those situations arise.
 
Accounting and Tax Considerations
 
Regulations issued under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provide that compensation in excess of $1 million paid to our named executive officers will not be deductible unless it meets specified criteria required for it to be “performance based.” In general, our Compensation Committee considers the potential impact of Section 162(m) in its review and establishment of compensation programs and payments. However, our Compensation Committee also reserves the right to provide compensation that does not meet the exemption criteria if, in its sole discretion, it determines that doing so advances our business objectives. Currently, we have no individuals with non-performance based compensation paid in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) tax deduction limit.
 
Compensation-Related Risk Assessment
 
In 2013, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed the structure of our compensation program from the point of view of assessing whether any aspect of the program could potentially be expected to provide an incentive to our executive officers or other employees to take any unnecessary or inappropriate risks that could threaten our operating results, financial condition or impact long-term shareholder value. The Compensation Committee conducted an assessment of our incentive-based compensation plans (including the annual and long-term incentive programs) and our compensation practices. Further, the Compensation Committee discussed the structure of the compensation program with the independent Directors.
Based on our internal controls, policies and risk-mitigating components in our incentive arrangements currently in place, discussions with the independent Directors, as well as the Compensation Committee's formal review and discussion, the Compensation Committee believes our compensation programs represent an appropriate balance of short-term and long-term compensation and do not encourage executive officers or other employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The dollar amount reported in the Option Awards column represents the grant date fair value of each award calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts were included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective March 25, 2013, the Company granted an option for the purchase of 1.2 million shares of common stock to Mr. Parrish. The option is exercisable through May 2015 at an exercise price of $0.14 per share.  The options granted to Mr. Parrish vested 50% in May 2013 and vest 50% in May 2014.

On August 23, 2012, the Company, entered into an agreement with Michael D. Parrish to become the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Board of Directors of the Company. The initial term of Mr. Parrish’s employment (effective May 18, 2012) expired on November 20, 2012 per its terms. The agreement’s performance targets include the obtainment of at least $1 million of capital from a third party and cash-on-hand on an unrestricted basis in an amount of at least $650,000 by November 1, 2012. The agreement provides for base salary of $100,000 for the six months of the initial term and escalations thereof upon the attainment of certain performance targets as well as renewal provisions. In November 2012, the Employment Contract with Mr. Parrish was renewed. Such contract was orally amended in December 2012 which resulted in a change in his annual base salary to $150,000. Effective March 25, 2013, the Company granted 600,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to Section 6.1 of the 2013 SPA, Mr. Parrish’s employment was extended through December 31, 2013. Mr. Parrish and the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company are in discussions regarding the contract. As of September 30, 2013, the 600,000 shares of Common Stock granted to Mr. Parrish in March 2013 have not been issued; however, such shares are treated as issued and outstanding in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the Company has recorded $147,000 as compensation expense related to the grant of such shares. Such compensation expense includes $47,000 as an estimate of the gross-up for taxes related to such grant.

As part of the forbearance requirements of the 2013 SPA and as a condition precedent thereto, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Novinskie (“Novinskie Agreement”). The Novinskie Agreement provides for a lump sum payment of $42,500 towards the outstanding balance owed Mr. Novinskie under his Employment Agreement and Mr. Novinskie agrees to forbear from making a demand on the Company for payment of the remaining balance due him for a period of two years from the date of the SPA.  Mr. Novinskie is entitled to receive Accelerated Payments as defined in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company included $20,000 in compensation expense in 2013 as an estimate of the gross-up for taxes related to the aforementioned lump sum payment.

Parrish and Novinskie may terminate employment with the Company under a number of different scenarios, including retirement, voluntary termination for good reason, voluntary termination without good reason, involuntary termination without cause, involuntary termination for cause, and termination in connection with a change in control, death and disability. Except as discussed below, the Company generally limits the payments or other forms of compensation that the Company will provide its named executive officers when their employment with the Company is terminated to compensation elements that the Company provides all its employees upon termination, namely payment of any earned but unpaid salary and accrued but unpaid vacation benefits.
 
At September 30, 2013, the Company was a party to an Employment Agreement with Mr. Novinskie (see Exhibits 10.5 and 10.28). Such agreement provides for the officer to receive certain cash payments and other benefits if his employment with the Company is terminated other than for cause. Cause generally means the employee’s willful engaging in malfeasance or felonious conduct that in any material respect impairs the reputation, goodwill or business position of the Company or involves misappropriation of the Company’s funds or other assets. Good reason generally means termination triggered by certain reductions in compensation, duties and responsibility and authority or certain changes in place of employment.

Mr. Martin serves as Chairperson of the Non-qualified Independent Director Stock Option Plan Committee. Generally, the Non-qualified Independent Director Stock Option Plan Committee members are appointed annually by the Board of Directors at its annual meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Plan provides for award of incentive options to outside directors of the Company. The options granted by this Plan vest over time in the ordinary course and upon certain conditions, one of which would be the merger with or acquisition of the Company. A copy of the Plan is included as Exhibit 10.31. The Non-qualified Independent Director Stock Option Plan Committee held two meetings during fiscal 2013.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
 
Director Independence
 
The Board has reviewed and evaluated transactions and relationships with Board members to determine the independence of each of the members. The Board does not believe that any of its non-employee members, other than Mr. Lin, have relationships with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a Director. The Board has determined that, at September 30, 2013, a majority of the Board’s members were “independent directors,” as that term is defined in the applicable listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). The Board has identified and determined that Messrs. Carter, Li, Maxwell and Sobieski are independent directors and Mr. Porfido was an independent director. In determining a director’s independence, the Board considered that ownership of shares of Common Stock would not disqualify an individual from being “independent” under the guidelines established by NASDAQ.
 
Transactions With Related Persons
 
Martin Obligations

The Company paid interest due on the Debentures of $9,487 to the Director as required by the forbearance agreement. Such Director has agreed to forbear from making a demand on the Company for payment of the Debentures for a period of two (2) years from the date of the SPA.  Mr. Maxwell is entitled to receive Accelerated Payments as defined in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Purchase of Common Stock and Warrant – On June 15, 2013, Mr. Maxwell purchased 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock for $125,000. Such purchase was made pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Private Placement (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The warrant has an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrant expires on January 16, 2018. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant to be $36,795 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
Marketing Agreement
 
In connection with the SPA, the Company entered into an Exclusive Sales Agency and Marketing Agreement with FEI (“Marketing Agreement”) with a term of 18 months and requires a monthly payment of $10,000.  Mr. Lin, a Director of the Company, is the principal of FEI. The Marketing Agreement grants to FEI the right to act as the Company’s exclusive marketing and sales agent for natural resources products produced, mined and/or sold by the Company, excluding the Company’s ZeoSure products (see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), in Asia excluding the nation of India. From April 2013 to September 2013, in connection with the Marketing Agreement, the Company paid $60,000 to Far East Investments (USA) LLC, an affiliate of FEI. Through September 30, 2013, no sales transactions relating to the Marketing Agreement had occurred.

Certain Personal Loans
 
During March 2012, the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees of the Board of Directors (“Board”) (collectively, “AC&N Committees”) became aware of personal loans entered into in September 2005 totaling in excess of $400,000 from Amir, a former director/officer of the Company, to four individuals. It is the understanding of the AC&N Committees (based on oral representations of Mr. Amir) that (i) the proceeds of such loans were used to fund the exercise in September 2005 of options (granted to such individuals in September 2000) to purchase shares of Common Stock (at $0.25 per share); (ii) two of such individuals are current employees of the Company (one of which is the President/CFO and a Director); (iii) one of such individuals is a former employee of the Company; (iv) one of such individuals, a shareholder, is serving as counsel (EV&T) to the Company (see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements); (v) the sole collateral for each of the loans is the Common Stock acquired by each individual upon the exercise of each option; and (vi) there is no agreement between Amir and such individuals regarding their voting rights related to the Common Stock owned by such individuals and Amir. On May 3, 2013, the Company paid cash of $70,000 and issued 498,000 shares of Common Stock in full satisfaction of all amounts due Amir pursuant to the Company’s note with Amir.
 
Notes Receivable from Former Executive Officers
 
In August 2005, the Company entered into employment contracts with Stephan V. Benediktson as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Nathan Trynin as Executive Vice President. In August 2007, Messrs. Benediktson and Trynin resigned from their respective positions with the Company. Each of Mr. Benediktson and Mr. Trynin were given the right to acquire common stock of the Company at the average of the bid and ask closing price for the five trading days prior to the effective dates of their contracts. Each party exercised that right. Mr. Benediktson and Mr. Trynin entered into notes with the Company totaling $576,000 to cover the majority of such purchase of the common stock offered by their employment agreements. See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Review, Approval Or Ratification Of Transactions With Related Persons
 
The Company’s Audit Committee reviews and approves or ratifies any transaction between the Company and a “related person” (as that term is defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K) that is required to be disclosed under the SEC’s related person transaction rules. In general, the Audit Committee charter provides that, when reviewing related person transactions, the Audit Committee will consider the following:
 
 
the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction;
 
the material terms of the transaction;
 
the significance of the transaction to the related person;
 
the significance of the transaction to the Company;
 
whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company; and
 
any other matters the Audit Committee deems appropriate.
 
In the event of any conflict between this related persons transaction policy and any similar policies contained in the Company’s Code of Business Ethics, Standards of Conduct or other corporate governance documents, the terms of the related persons’ transaction policy will control. This related persons transaction policy is contained in the Audit Committee charter and is posted on the corporate governance page of the Company’s web site at www.dalecoresources.com.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Compensation Committee consisted of Messrs. Maxwell, Porfido and Sobieski.  None of the members of the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2013 had any related person transaction with the Company required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Currently, no executive officer of the Company is serving as a member of the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors of any other entity that had an executive officer serving as a member of the Company’s Board or Compensation Committee such that the service would constitute an interlock under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

ANTI-TAKEOVER
 
The Board of Directors has not adopted any anti-takeover amendments, but reserves the right to do so.  As of September 30, 2013, there are issued and outstanding 135,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, with a stated value of $10.00 per share, and 72,468,458 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01. This leaves 19,865,000 shares of preferred stock, authorized but unissued, and 77,531,542 shares of Common Stock, authorized but unissued, available as an anti-takeover device, without giving effect to: (i) the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants held by Management (including members of the Board of Directors) (see "Security Ownership of Management"), (ii) a maximum of 1,080,000 shares of Common Stock into which the remaining 135,000 shares Series B Preferred Shares may be converted, and (iii) a maximum of 321,429 shares of Common Stock into which the $45,000 of 7.25% Convertible Debentures may be converted.  There are options and warrants for the purchase of a total of 26,144,000 shares of Common Stock, including those held by management, outstanding as of September 30, 2013.  For additional information in respect to outstanding warrants and options, see Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  While the issuance of these potentially available shares are all possible mechanisms which might be considered by the Board of Directors to frustrate a hostile takeover of the Company, the Board of Directors has not considered taking such actions, and no anti-takeover action has been put into effect.
 
At the Company's Annual Meeting in March 2004, the Shareholders approved the Company's Non-qualified Independent Director’s Stock Option Plan and at the Company's Annual Meeting in June 2013, the Shareholders approved the Company's amended and restated Non-qualified Independent Director’s Stock Option Plan for award of incentive options for the purchase of shares of Common Stock to outside directors of the Company (“Plan”). The options granted by this Plan vest over time in the ordinary course and upon certain conditions, one of which would be the merger with or acquisition of the Company with another entity. While the vesting provisions may be deemed by some to be an anti-takeover device, the Plan has not been proposed or viewed by management in that context. An option the purchase of 200,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.21 per share, was awarded to Lord Gilbert during fiscal 2010 and such option remains unexercised as of September 30, 2013 and such option expired unexercised in December 2013. An option for the purchase of 200,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.22, was awarded to Mr. Maxwell during fiscal 2011 and such options remain unexercised as of September 30, 2013. An option for the purchase of 200,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.06, was awarded to Mr. Grady on December 27, 2012. The option is exercisable through December 2017. The option vests 50% in December 2013 and 25% in each of December 2014 and 2015. At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in June 2013, Mr. Grady was not re-elected to serve as a Director; accordingly, the option expired unexercised in accordance with its terms. On November 13, 2013, Michael Carter, Stanley Porfido and Raymond Sobieski, Directors of the Company as of August 21, 2013, were each granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share under the Plan. The options are exercisable through November 2018. The options vest 50% in November 2014 and 25% in each of November 2015 and 2016. On February 10, 2014, Mr. Porfido resigned from the Board and, accordingly, the option granted to him expired effective with his resignation.
 
Item 14.  Principal Accounting Fees and Services.
 
During 2013, the Audit Committee appointed Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C. (“MHM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 and 2014.  The Company’s stockholders approved the appointment of MHM for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2013 and 2014 at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Even though the shareholders approved the appointment of MHM, the Audit Committee in its discretion may appoint a different independent public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and those of stockholders. MHM leases substantially all of its personnel, who work under the control of MHM shareholders, from wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBIZ, Inc., in an alternative practice structure.
 
Vasquez & Company LLP (“Vasquez”), an independent registered public accounting firm, previously served as the Company’s independent auditors and audited the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.
 
AUDIT AND RELATED FEES

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding review and pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services expected to be performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. When considering requests for non-audit services, the Audit Committee evaluates whether the proposed engagement risks compromise the independent registered public accounting firm's independence by specifically considering the volume of the proposed non-audit services and whether those non-audit services are likely to cause the independent registered public accounting firm to function in a management role, to be put in the position of auditing its own work, or to serve in an advocacy role for the Company. Absent strong countervailing considerations, the Audit Committee will generally not approve non-audit services if the aggregate fees for non-audit services for the year will exceed the aggregate fees for audit services, audit-related services and tax compliance services for the year. The policy also prohibits the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from providing certain services described in the policy as prohibited services.
 
Generally, requests for non-audit services are submitted in writing to the Audit Committee by the Company’s officer or employee requesting such services, along with specific supporting information described in the policy. Typically, the Audit Committee will approve non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm that are closely related to the audit services, audit-related services and tax compliance services already being provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence services, subject to the fee policy described above. Between Audit Committee meetings, any two Audit Committee members may review and approve requests for non-audit services in accordance with the policy that are budgeted for $5,000 or less, provided that the pre-approval is reported not later than the next meeting of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee's pre-approval policies and procedures for non-audit services are described in the Audit Committee Charter. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, all of the services described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS
 
The following is a description of the meanings of some of the oil and gas industry terms used in this report:
 
Basin. A large natural depression on the earth’s surface in which sediments accumulate.
 
Bbl. One stock tank barrel, of 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, of crude oil.
 
Bcf.  Billion cubic feet, determined using the ratio of six Mcf of gas to one Bbl of crude oil, condensate or gas liquids.
 
Bop. Barrels of oil per day.
 
Btu or British Thermal Unit.  The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
 
Completion.  The installation of permanent equipment for the production of oil or gas.
 
Developed acreage.  Acres spaced or assignable to productive wells.
 
Development or Developmental well.  A well drilled within the proved boundaries of an oil or gas reservoir with the intention of completing the stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
 
Dry well (hole).  An exploratory or a development well found to be incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil or gas well.
 
Exploitation. A drilling or other project which may target proved or unproved reserves (such as probable or possible reserves), but generally is expected to have lower risk.
 
Exploration or Exploratory well.  A well drilled to find and produce oil or gas reserves not classified as proved, to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir or to extend a known reservoir.
 
Field.  An area consisting of either a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs, all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition.
 
Gross well or acre.  A well or acre in which a working interest is owned.
 
Horizontal drilling.  A drilling operation in which a portion of the well is drilled horizontally within a productive or potentially productive formation. This operation usually yields a well which has the ability to produce higher volumes than a vertical well drilled in the same formation.
 
Injection well or Injection.  A well which is used to place liquids or gases into the producing zone during secondary/tertiary recovery operations to assist in maintaining reservoir pressure and enhancing recoveries from the field.
 
Lease operating expenses.  The expenses of lifting oil or gas from a producing formation to the surface, and the transportation and marketing thereof, constituting part of the current operating expenses of a working interest, and also including labor, superintendence, supplies, repairs, short-lived assets, maintenance, allocated overhead costs, ad valorem taxes and other expenses incidental to production, but excluding lease acquisition or drilling or completion expenses.
 
MBbls.  One thousand barrels of crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
 
MBOE. One thousand barrels of oil equivalent.
 
Mcf.  One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.
 
Mcfd. One thousand cubic feet of natural gas per day.
 
MMBbls.  One million barrels of oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
 
MMBOE. One million barrels of oil equivalent.
 
MMBtu.  One million British thermal units.
 
MMcf.  One million cubic feet of gas.
 
 
107

 
MMcfe.  One million cubic feet equivalent, determined using the ratio of six Mcf of gas to one Bbl of oil, condensate or gas liquids.
 
Net well or acre.  Deemed to exist when the sum of the fractional ownership working interests owned in gross wells or acres equals one.
 
NYMEX.  New York Mercantile Exchange.
 
PV-10 or present value of estimated future cash flows.  An estimate of the present value of the estimated future cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves at a date indicated after deducting estimated production and ad valorem taxes, future capital costs and operating expenses, but before deducting any estimates of federal income taxes. The estimated future cash flows are discounted at an annual rate of 10%, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s practice, to determine their “present value.” The present value is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of the revenue stream and should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties. Estimates of future cash flows are made using oil and gas prices and operating costs at the date indicated and held constant for the life of the reserves.
 
Primary recovery. The period of production in which oil and natural gas is produced from its reservoir through the wellbore without enhanced recovery technologies, such as water floods or ASP floods.
 
Productive well.  Producing wells and wells capable of production including an exploratory or development well that is not a dry well.
 
Prospect.  A specific geographic area which, based on supporting geological, geophysical or other data and also preliminary economic analysis using reasonably anticipated prices and costs, is deemed to have potential for the discovery of commercial hydrocarbons.
 
Proved developed non-producing reserves or PDNP.  Proved developed reserves expected to be recovered from zones behind casing in existing wells.
 
Proved developed producing reserves or PDP.  Proved developed reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals currently open in existing wells and capable of production to market.
 
Proved developed reserves.  Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate
 
Proved reserves.  Those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
 
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: (i) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (ii) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geosciences and engineering data.
 
In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless geosciences, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geosciences, engineering or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.
 
Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when: (i) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (ii) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
 
 
108

 
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
 
Proved undeveloped reserves or PUD.  Reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
 
Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.
 
Recompletion. The addition of production from another interval or formation in an existing wellbore.
 
Reserve life index.  An index calculated by dividing year-end proved reserves by the average production during the past year to estimate the number of years of remaining production.
 
Reservoir.  A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.
 
Secondary recovery.  An artificial method or process used to restore or increase production from a reservoir after the primary production by the natural producing mechanism and reservoir pressure has experienced partial depletion. Gas injection and waterflooding are examples of this technique.
 
Tertiary recovery. The third stage of hydrocarbon production during which sophisticated techniques that alter the original properties of the oil are used. Chemical flooding (including ASP flooding), miscible displacement and thermal flooding are examples of this technique.
 
Undeveloped acreage.  Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil or gas, regardless of whether or not such acreage contains proved reserves.
 
Waterflooding.  A secondary recovery operation in which water is injected into the producing formation in order to maintain reservoir pressure and force oil toward and into the producing wells.
 
Working interest.  The operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and receive a share of production.
 
Workover. Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.
 
109

 
MINERALS AND MINING TERMS
 
The following is a description of the meanings of some of the minerals and mining industry terms used in this report:
 
“Cu Yd” and “Cu M” mean units of volume in terms of Cubic Yards and Cubic Meters, respectively.
 
“Competent Person” is a person who is a member of a professional society for earth scientists or mineral engineers, or has other appropriate qualifications.
 
“Development Stage” means a party engaged in the preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit (reserves) for its extraction which is not in the production stage.
 
“Exploration Stage” means a party engaged in the search for mineral deposits (reserves) which is not in either the Development or Production Stage.
 
“Gross” means, as it applies to acreage or mining claims, the numbers of acres or mining claims in which the Company has a direct operating interest.
 
“Mineralized Material” is that part of a mineral deposit for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable or high level of confidence. It is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings, and drill holes. The locations are spaced closely enough (i) to confirm geological continuity and/or grade continuity or (ii) for continuity to be assumed.
 
“Mining Claims” are regulatory and/or legal descriptions of mineral property rights as defined by State and Federal Mineral Codes.
 
"Net", as it applies to acreage mining claims, refers to the sum of the fractional ownership interests owned by the Company in gross acres or mining claims.
 
“Production Stage” means a party engaged in the exploitation of a mineral deposit (reserve).
 
"Probable (Indicated) Reserves" are reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) minerals, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
 
"Proven (Measured) Reserves" are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established.
 
“Reserve" is that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.
 
"Ton" means a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds (lbs.) or 906 kilograms.
