American Petro-Hunter Inc.
Notes to Condensed
Financial Statements
June 30, 2013
1. |
Nature and Continuance of Operations |
American Petro-Hunter Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 24, 1996 as Wolf Exploration Inc. On March 17, 1997, Wolf Exploration Inc. changed its name to Wolf Industries Inc.; on November 21, 2000, they changed its name to Travelport Systems Inc., and on August 17, 2001, changed its name to American Petro- Hunter Inc. | |
The Company is evaluating the acquisition of certain natural resource projects with the intent of developing such projects. The Company focus is currently in locating and assessing potential acquisition targets, including real property, oil and gas companies. | |
Basis of presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted from the following condensed financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position and results of operations. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current presentations. | |
It is suggested that the following financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company does not believe there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that would have a significant impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013. | |
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire fiscal year or for any other period. | |
Going Concern | |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has limited assets and requires additional funds to maintain its operations. Managements plan in this regard is to raise equity financing as required. There can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be obtained. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. | |
2. |
Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements. | |
Income taxes | |
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (ASC 740-10-5). Under ASC 740-10-25, 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. 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, 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. See footnote 8 for further details. |
8
Revenue Recognition
It is
our policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with ASC subtopic
605-10. Under ASC 605-10, product revenues are recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is
fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Use of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company
maintains cash balances in interest and non-interest bearing accounts. For the
purpose of these financial statements, all highly liquid cash and investments
with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Net loss per share
In
accordance with ASC subtopic 260-10, the basic loss per common share is computed
by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed
similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased
to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. For the three months and six months ended June 30,
2013 and 2012, the denominator in the diluted EPS computation is the same as the
denominator for basic EPS due to the anti-dilutive effect of the stock warrants
and convertible debt on the Companys net loss.
Financial instruments
The
Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is
managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, or
credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these
financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their
relatively short-term maturities. See Note 5 for further details.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The Company has financial instruments whereby the
fair value of the financial instruments could be different from that recorded on
a historical basis in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company's financial
instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes
payable. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate
their fair values as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, due to their
short-term nature. See Note 5 for further details.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial statements to
conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect
on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
Oil and Gas Properties
We
follow the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas exploration
and production activities. All costs for development wells, related plant and
equipment, proved mineral interests in oil and gas properties are capitalized.
Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether the
wells found proved reserves. Cost of wells that are assigned proved reserves
remain capitalized. All other exploratory wells and costs are expensed.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of all capitalized costs of proved oil and gas producing properties are expensed using the straight-line method over the estimated life of each well. Period valuation provisions for impairment of capitalized costs of unproved mineral interests are expensed. The costs of unproved properties are excluded from amortization until the properties are proved.
Unproved properties are assessed periodically individually when drilling and flow testing results indicate whether there is an economic resource or not. All capitalized costs associated with properties that have been determined to be a dry-hole or uneconomic are impaired when that determination is made. Proved properties are assessed periodically for impairment on an individual basis. Events that can trigger the test for possible impairment include significant decreases in the market value of a property, significant change in the extent or manner of use or change in property and the expectation that a property will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly sooner than the previously estimated useful life. The assessment is done by comparing each propertys carrying value to their associated estimated undiscounted future net cash flows. Impaired properties are written down to their estimated fair values. The resulting impairment would be expensed to operations as impairment expense in the period in which it was determined that the impairment was indicated and calculated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Management has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC and they do not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements | |
4. |
Investments in Mineral Properties |
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company invested $43,180 in one investment of mineral properties. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company invested a total of $355,242 in four mineral properties and exchanged a Poston Prospect well with a book value of $41,000 plus cash in the amount of $6,500 for partial payment on a well located in the Oklahoma prospect. Management reviewed the carrying amount of the Companys investments in its oil and gas properties as of the balance sheet date and recognized an impairment expense in the amount of $0 and $256,737 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of mineral properties totaled $1,590,328 and $1,582,324, net of accumulated amortization of $167,675 and $132,499, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has total capitalized costs of mineral properties (gross) of $1,758,003; $1,103,205 in proved properties and $654,798 in unproved properties. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has total capitalized costs of mineral properties (gross) of $1,714,822; $1,103,205 in proved properties and $611,617 in unproved properties. Capitalized costs of proved properties are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each well. Unproved properties are excluded from amortization. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $35,176 and $60,808, respectively. A summary of investments follows: | |
S&W Oil & Gas, LLC - Poston Prospect | |
On May 4, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement with S&W Oil & Gas, LLC (S&W) to participate in the drilling for oil in the Poston Prospect #1 Lutters in Southwest Trego County, Kansas (the Poston Prospect). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $64,500 in exchange for a 25% working interest in the 81.5% net revenue interest in the Poston Prospect. Subsequent to acquiring the working interest, the Company paid $138,615 in capitalized development costs necessary for completion of the initial well and the drilling and completion of a second well in the Poston Prospect. In 2011, the Company recognized an impairment of the investment in the amount of $93,879. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold its interest in the Poston Prospect for cash in the amount of $69,500, resulting in a gain of $2,621. This well contributed approximately 5% of the Companys 2012 revenue and 0% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013. | |
Oklahoma prospects | |
During 2010 and 2011, the Company acquired various working interest percentages ranging from 5% to 50%, from Bay Petroleum for mineral properties located in Oklahoma in exchange for cash totaling $1,992,330. During the year ended December 31, 2011, one well was determined to be a dry hole and its full $80,000 carrying value was impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company acquired additional working interests in the Oklahoma prospects for cash in the amount of $355,242 and property valued at $41,000. During the year ended December 31, 2012, two of the wells were determined to be uneconomic and $565,737 of impairment was taken to reduce the properties to their fair value. The Oklahoma prospects wells contributed approximately 95% of the Companys 2012 revenue and 100% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013. | |
5. |
Fair Value Measurements |
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10 at the beginning of 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Companys financial condition or results of operations. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below: |
10
Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
The following table presents a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of:

The maximum amount of Shares requested to be purchased pursuant to any single Draw Down Notice cannot exceed 300% of the average daily trading volume of the Companys common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Draw Down Notice.
Once presented with a Draw Down Notice, the Investor is required to purchase a pro rata portion of the applicable Draw Down Amount on each trading day during the applicable Pricing Period on which the daily volume weighted average price for the Companys common stock (the VWAP) equals or exceeds a floor price determined by the Company for such draw down (the Floor Price). If the VWAP falls below the applicable Floor Price on any trading day during the applicable Pricing Period, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor will not be required to purchase the pro rata portion of the applicable Draw Down Amount allocated to that trading day. The per share purchase price for the Shares subject to a Draw Down Notice shall be equal to 90.0% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest VWAPs that equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price during the applicable Pricing Period; provided, however, that if the VWAP does not equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price for at least three trading days during the applicable Pricing Period, then the per share purchase price shall be equal to 90.0% of the arithmetic average of all VWAPs that equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price during such Pricing Period. Each purchase pursuant to a draw down shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement.
The Company is prohibited from issuing a Draw Down Notice if (i) the amount requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount, (ii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investor to acquire or purchase an aggregate dollar value of Shares that would exceed the Total Commitment, or (iii) the sale of Shares pursuant to the Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase an aggregate number of shares of the Companys common stock which would result in beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 4.99% of the Companys common stock (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder). The Company cannot make more than one draw down in any Pricing Period and must allow 24 hours to elapse between the completion of the settlement of any one draw down and the commencement of a Pricing Period for any other draw down.
17
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by, among and for the benefit of the parties. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual written consent of the parties. Unless earlier terminated, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 24-month anniversary of the date on which the initial registration statement is declared effective by the Commission or (ii) the date on which the Investor purchases the Total Commitment worth of common stock under the Purchase Agreement. Under certain circumstances set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investor each may terminate the Purchase Agreement on one trading days prior written notice to the other. | |
The Company paid to the Investor a commitment fee for entering into the Purchase Agreement equal to $150,000 (or 3.0% of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement) in the form of 1,764,706 restricted shares of the Companys common stock, calculated at a price equal to $0.085 per share, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on March 4, 2013. The Commitment shares were issued in March of 2013. | |
The Company also agreed to pay up to $15,000 of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Investor in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and related transaction documentation. Further, if the Company issues a Draw Down Notice and fails to deliver the shares to the Investor on the applicable settlement date, and such failure continues for 10 trading days, the Company agreed to pay the Investor, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, an amount in cash equal to 2.0% of the purchase price of such shares for each 30-day period the shares are not delivered, plus accrued interest. | |
The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of the Investor and its affiliates in the event that the Investor incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses related to a breach by the Company of any of its representations and warranties under the Purchase Agreement or the other related transaction documents or any action instituted against the Investor or its affiliates due to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents, subject to certain limitations. | |
Warrants | |
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 200,000 warrants in relation to a stock sale as described in above. The warrants have a $0.40 exercise price and a two-year life. The warrants expire on November 7, 2013. | |
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 3,003,104 warrants in connection with the ASYM Purchase Agreement discussed in Note 6. The warrants are exercisable for a term of five years and at a strike price of $0.01. These warrants expire in the third and fourth quarter of 2017. | |
As of December 31, 2012, there are 3,203,104 warrants outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.0344. | |
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued an additional 4,662 warrants in connection with the ASYM Purchase Agreement discussed in Note 6. The warrants are exercisable for a term of five years and at a strike price of $0.01. These warrants expire in the first quarter of 2018. | |
As of June 30, 2013, there are 3,207,766 warrants outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.0343. | |
8. |
Income Taxes |
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes) for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. |
18
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. | |
The Companys effective income tax rate is higher than would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income before tax, primarily because of expenses deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes. The Companys operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted in losses. Accordingly, no provisions for current income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. | |
As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, the Company has total net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,500,000 which may or may not be used to reduce future income taxes payable. Current federal tax law limits the amount of loss available to offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount of these losses available to offset future taxable income may be limited. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net benefit recorded in the financial statements related to this deferred asset to $0. The valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no provisions for deferred income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. | |

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Background
We are an oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) company with current projects in Payne and Lincoln Counties in Oklahoma. As of September 5, 2013, we have six producing wells in Oklahoma. We also have ownership of 1,410.7 net acres and rights for the exploration and production of oil and gas on an aggregate of approximately 4,733.8 gross acres in Oklahoma. This includes rights to explore on 1,847 gross acres in Oklahoma in the North Oklahoma Mississippi Project and in 2,886 gross acres in south-central Oklahoma (the South Oklahoma Project). In 2012, oil sales from our producing wells averaged 13.1 cumulative barrels per day.
Typically, our interest in a well arises from a contract with another entity pursuant to which we provide financial support for certain costs incurred in the exploration and development of a project, which may include land costs, seismic or other exploration, and test drilling. In exchange, we typically receive an interest in the proceeds from the projects production.
We were formed on January 24, 1996 pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Wolf Exploration, Inc. In August 2001, we changed our name to American Petro-Hunter Inc. and began focusing our business on the exploration and eventual exploitation of oil and gas. The Company operates from its offices at 250 N Rock Rd., Suite 365 Wichita, KS.
Producing Properties
North Oklahoma Project (North Oklahoma Woodford Yale and North Oklahoma Mississippi Lime Projects) - On April 21, 2010, we entered into an operating agreement with Bay Petroleum Corp. (Bay) to participate in the drilling for oil in northern Oklahoma (the Prospect). Pursuant to such operating agreement, we agreed to pay to Bay $52,125 for all costs in connection with the acquisition and operation of the Prospect, up to the drilling of an initial test well, in exchange for a 25% working interest and 80% net revenue interest in the Prospect. We are also responsible for 25% of all expenditures in connection with the development and operation of the Prospect for drilling.
On June 1, 2010, we announced that the No. 1 well had been put into production. The well produced 1,638 barrels in 2012 at an average of 4.4 barrels per day. The current daily rate is 5 barrels per day.
On June 29, 2011, we announced that NOS122, a re-entry project where the well bore and casing was opened and cleaned, had begun commercial production. Inaugural loads of oil began shipping in July of 2011. The well produced 888 barrels in 2012 at a rate of 2.43 barrels per day. On October 1, 2012 we announced the commencement of drilling of the NOS222 oil and gas well in Payne County, Oklahoma. The well is an offset to the NOS122. On October 15, 2012 we announced that the completion program was underway. It was determined, after the program was completed that the Skinner sand portion, the primary objective of the well, was the only viable commercial producer. Currently, the NOS 122 and 222 wells are co-mingled to one tank battery and produce a combined 4-6 barrels per day, and sell one 160 barrel load of oil every other month.
On March 25, 2011, we announced that we had acquired a varied working interest in an additional 2,000 acres located in Payne County in northern Oklahoma, near the Companys Yale Prospect. The project has been named North Oklahoma Mississippi Lime Project. On May 16, 2011, we announced that drilling operations had commenced at the Companys first horizontal well, NOM1H. The Company owns a 25% Working Interest in the lease. On June 29, 2011, we announced that NOM1H had begun commercial production. The well produced 5,199 barrels in 2012 at a rate of 14.2 barrels per day. Daily gas production is in the 50 Mcf/day range.
21
On July 27, 2011 we announced the NOW2H, an 80 acre offset to NOM1H. On November 7, 2011, the well commenced commercial oil and gas production. On March 26, 2012, we announced that after undergoing a second frack and the installation of a submersible pump, the well was producing at a daily rate of 30 barrels per day. Since that time the well has drastically declined and produced a total of 888 barrels in 2012, and 5,837 Mcf of gas. The well is currently no longer economically viable, has had no sales since June of 2012, and would require re-drilling of the lateral and re-completion to return to commercial viability. There are no plans at this time to implement this program.
On January 9, 2012, we announced plans to drill a third horizontal well at the North Oklahoma Project, NOM3H, on the same section of land as our two previously completed wells, NOM1H and NOW2H. On February 6, 2012, we announced that we had drilled a total of 1,988 feet in the horizontal well segment penetrating into the 100 plus foot thick Mississippi pay zone. The NOM3H began commercial oil and gas production on March 7, 2012. The average daily rate of production during 2013 has been 20 barrels of oil per day. Daily gas production is in the 85Mcf/day range.
On July 18, 2011, we announced drilling plans for a total of eleven horizontal wells at the North Oklahoma Project. As of September 5, 2013, there are at least eight locations left to drill on the acreage in each of the Woodford Shale and Mississippi Lime that would be horizontal wells spaced on 180 acres. We previously announced a drilling schedule that involved drilling one horizontal well approximately every 90 days. However, based on estimated engineering expenses of $3,200,000 for drilling and completion, we were unable to implement that drilling schedule. Our revised drilling schedule for 2013 is between one to three wells, depending upon available capital.
The next well planned is a direct offset to the NOM1H and is expected to cost $800,000 for our working interest share of the drilling and completion costs. The well is a Woodford Shale horizontal well and we plan to announce a drilling schedule once it is determined by the operator in April 2013.
South Oklahoma Project - On July 20, 2011, we announced the acquisition of a forty percent (40%) working interest in the South Oklahoma Project on 3,000 acres of land in south-central Oklahoma. Our engineers have identified five key areas which, if developed on 160 acre spacing, could allow future development of 18 additional locations for horizontal Mississippi lime and Woodford Shale oil and gas wells.
On April 2, 2012, we announced the spud of the first well on the South Oklahoma Project, designated SOM-1H. On July 10, 2012, the well began commercial production. As of March 1, 2013, the well had cumulatively produced 5,696 barrels of oil, with 4,618 barrels for the 2012 calendar year, and sales beginning in July 2012 at an average daily rate of 25.4 barrels per day. Current production has cumulatively produced 8,383 barrels of oil through July 31, 2013, at a daily rate of 12 barrels per day. Daily gas production is in the 32 Mcf/day range.
Osage Kansas Project - On August 7, 2013 we announced that the Company has executed a term sheet for the acquisition of a 15,000 acre land package located in the Mississippian Osage of central Kansas. The agreement is for an 80% working interest (W.I.) and carries an 81.25% net revenue interest (N.R.I.). This will add 12,000 net acres to the Companys land ownership. The Company will be acting as the operator of the project and will be able to dictate the timeline for the lease development. Currently, we are finalizing purchase and sale agreements and a joint operating agreement, as well as undertaking land and engineering due diligence.
Customers
Our crude oil production is sold to Sunoco in Oklahoma. We receive Oklahoma spot prices for our oil and sell our oil in minimum allotments of 160 barrels.
We have commercial sales of natural gas at our Oklahoma Project through our connection to nearby pipeline infrastructure. We sell natural gas through such pipeline to DCP Midstream, LP of Tulsa, Oklahoma and receive a premium to the NYMEX spot natural gas prices due to the higher BTU content of the gas produced.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management of our Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe certain critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. A description of our critical accounting policies is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of, and for the three months ended June 30, 2013, there have been no material changes or updates to our critical accounting policies.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and changes in our financial position should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
The financial statements mentioned above have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and are stated in United States dollars.
Comparison of six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we incurred a comprehensive loss of $690,446 and $937,235, respectively. The decrease was largely attributed to a decrease in cost of goods sold of $55,663 and a decrease in executive compensation of $259,000.
General and administration expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $286,023 compared to $257,096 in the same period of 2012. Executive compensation for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $102,000 compared to $361,000, in the same period of 2012.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, we used net cash of $158,888 in operations. Net cash used in operating activities increased from $94,925 in the six month period ended June 30, 2012.
We had no gain or loss on forgiveness of debt during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to a gain of $322,731 during the six month period ended June 30, 2012.
Comparison of three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we incurred a comprehensive loss of $394,409 and $41,048, respectively. The increase was largely attributed to a decrease in revenues of $42,184 and a decrease in gain on forgiveness of debt of $235,985.
General and administration expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $163,773 compared to $151,305 in the same period of 2012. Executive compensation for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 was $51,000 compared to $76,000, in the same period of 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2013, we had cash of $148 and working capital deficiency of $1,003,414. During the three month period ended June 30, 2013, we funded our operations from revenue received, and proceeds of private sales of equity and notes. During the three month period ended June 30, 2013, we raised $45,000 from proceeds from a note payable. We are currently seeking further financing and we believe that will provide sufficient working capital to fund our operations for at least the next six months. Changes in our operating plans, increased expenses, acquisitions, or other events, may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we used net cash of $11,415 in operations.
23
On June 24, 2013, we announced that we had entered into a common stock purchase agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the Purchase Agreement) with Hanover Holdings I, LLC, a New York limited liability company (Hanover). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein including volume based share and price limitations, Hanover is committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 (the Total Commitment) worth of our common stock, $0.001 par value (the Shares), over the 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement, beginning on the trading day following the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Shares by Hanover is declared effective. The per share purchase price for the shares shall be equal to 90.0% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices for our common stock during the applicable pricing period that equal or exceed an applicable floor price equal to the product of (i) 0.70 and (ii) the volume weighted average price for the Companys common stock over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date the draw down notice is delivered. We previously paid to Hanover, in March 2013, a commitment fee for entering into the Purchase Agreement equal to $150,000 (or 3.0% of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement) in the form of 1,764,706 restricted shares of our common stock, calculated at a price equal to $0.085 per share, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on March 4, 2013. In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file an initial registration statement with the Commission to register an agreed upon number of Shares, which shall not exceed 1/3 of the number of shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates of the Company, which registration statement was filed on July 31, 2013 and declared effective as of September 4, 2013.
On July 9, 2012, we announced that we entered into a three-year credit facility with ASYM Energy Partners LLC and its affiliates (ASYM), a private investment firm focused on the energy industry (the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets. As of June 30, 2013 $515,000 has been advanced under the ASYM Credit Facility. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, in July 2013, the Company received an additional $60,766 was advanced under the ASYM Credit Facility. Additionally, on September 5, 2013, ASYM granted an extension of the waiver of covenants for all periods prior to September 10, 2013 in return for a $25,000 waiver fee in the form of an additional tranche loan under the agreement and warrant stock associated with the tranche. We do not expect to receive additional funds from the ASYM Credit Facility at this time as we do not qualify under the agreement covenants.
The Company and ASYM agreed to modify the terms of the agreement with ASYM whereby eliminating the variable exercise price of each warrant grant due pursuant to the agreement to a fixed exercise price of $0.01 applicable to both past and future warrant grants.
On April 25, 2013, in exchange for the cancellation of existing indebtedness, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $71,000 to Magna Group, LLC (“Magna”) and promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $51,500 to Hanover Holdings I, LLC (“Hanover”), respectively (collectively, the “Exchange Notes”). Each of the Exchange Notes is convertible into common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.008 per share. Additionally, on June 7, 2013, the Company issued to Hanover a convertible note in the principal amount of $5,000, convertible at a fixed conversion price of $0.008 per share (the “June 2013 Note”). Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, on August 27, 2013, Magna loaned an additional $25,000 to the Company.
Effective June 1, 2013, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $15,000 to an investor. The note bears interest at 10% and matures one year from date of loan. The loan balance is convertible at the lesser of $0.01 or 25% discount to the average closing trading price during the five trading days prior to conversion.
On June 27, 2013, the Company borrowed $25,000 pursuant to the convertible promissory note issued March 27, 2013 to JMJ Financial. The note bears no interest if repaid within ninety days and bears interest of 12% if not repaid within ninety dates. The maturity date is one year from the date of the draw. The loan balance is convertible at the lesser of $0.075 or 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we raised we raised $171,500 from proceeds of notes payable. We also earned $75,009 in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2013 from our producing wells.
On August 7, 2013 we announced that the Company has executed a term sheet for the acquisition of a 15,000 acre land package located in the Mississippian “Osage” of central Kansas. The total purchase price is $5,400,000. We currently have insufficient capital to make the total purchase price payment. We will need to secure additional debt or equity financing to pay such obligation, and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the required capital on terms favorable to the Company, or that such capital will be available on any terms.
Our current cash requirements are significant due to planned exploration and development of current projects. We anticipate drilling one well in Oklahoma in 2013 which is estimated to cost $800,000. Additionally, we have an aggregate of $144,200 in outstanding short term borrowings. We will need to secure additional debt or equity financing to pay such obligations as they become due. Accordingly, we expect to continue to use debt and equity financing to fund operations for the next twelve months, as we look to expand our asset base and fund exploration and development of our properties.
24
Our management believes that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue or raise sufficient amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings, as may be required to meet our short-term and long-term obligations. In order to execute on our business strategy, we will require additional working capital, commensurate with the operational needs of our planned drilling projects and obligations. Such working capital will most likely be obtained through equity or debt financings until such time as acquired operations are integrated and producing revenue in excess of operating expenses. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management with the participation and under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) of the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon their evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of June 30, 2013 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In performing the above-referenced assessment, our management identified the following material weaknesses:
i) |
We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions. | |
ii) |
We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. | |
iii) |
We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness. | |
iv) |
We did not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is the managements view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over our financial statements. |
25
We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes as our financial situation allows, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources and personnel to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.
Our present management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
