Freestone Resources, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities, History and Organization:
Freestone Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “Freestone”) is an oil and gas technology development company that is actively developing and marketing technologies and solvents designed to benefit various sectors in the oil and gas industry. The Company has re-launched its Petrozene solvent after months of working with manufactures to develop a new and improved formula. Petrozene is predominantly used for paraffin buildup. Petrozene can be used for pipelines, oil storage tanks, oil sludge build up, de-emulsification, well treatment, as a corrosion inhibitor and as a catalyst in opening up formations thereby aiding in oil production.
On November 16, 2012 the Company entered into a Company Agreement of Aqueous Services, LLC (“Aqueous”), a Texas limited liability company, with International Aqueous Investments, LLC and Pajarito W&M, LP. Aqueous is a joint venture between the Company and the two aforementioned parties, whereas the Company owns a 33.33% interest in Aqueous. Aqueous is a full water management company with access to a fresh water well that has been permitted to up to one thousand five hundred acre-feet of water per annum. A facility has been constructed that is owned and operated by Aqueous for the purpose of providing water for oil and gas activities in the Eagle Ford. This site includes a designated location for the recycling frac water and produced water.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements:
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. It is presumed that users of this interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements and footnote disclosure for the preceding fiscal year contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2013 Form 10-K.
6 |
Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. It is also necessary for management to determine, measure and allocate resources and obligations within the financial process according to those principles. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Investments in subsidiaries, where the Company has a controlling interest, are reported using the equity method. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been made.
The Company consolidates its subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 810, “Business Combinations”, (formally SFAS 141R) and specifically ASC 810-10-15-8 which states, "The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, or over 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation."
These financial statements replace the financial statements originally issued for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and included in the Company’s quarterly 10Q report filed February 13, 2014. Subsequent to that filing our auditor of record, The Hall Group, was determine not to have a valid PCAOB license and that filing was disallowed by the SEC. These financial statements have been adjusted for subsequent events between February 13, 2014 and date of reissue requiring the impairment of certain assets.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
As of December 31, 2013 the Company elected the early adoption of changes to ASC 915 Development Stage Enterprises which eliminated certain reporting requirements including identification of the Company as a development stage enterprises in financial statement headings, discussion of development stage enterprises in Note 1 Summary of Accounting Policy and the presentation of cumulative data in the statements of income and cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in banks with original maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost which approximates market value, which in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.
7 |
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products in accordance with ASC 605-15 “Revenue Recognition”, (formerly Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 104"). Revenue will be recognized only when all of the following criteria have been met:
1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
2. Ownership and all risks of loss have been transferred to buyer, which is generally upon shipment;
3. The price is fixed and determinable; and
4. Collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue is recorded net any of sales taxes charged to customers.
Income Taxes:
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109), which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable.
Earnings per Share:
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effects of any outstanding options, warrants and other potentially dilutive securities. For the periods presented, as there was a net loss from operations, any potentially dilutive securities would be considered anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the fully diluted shares outstanding. Therefore, primary earnings per share equals fully diluted.
Fair Value Measurements:
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair value of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Corporation’s credit worthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts Receivable are carried at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and credit conditions, based on a history of write offs and collections. The Company’s policy is generally not to charge interest on trade receivables after the invoice becomes past due. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Write offs are recorded at a time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible. The Company had no bad debt accruals at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.
8 |
Oil and Gas Properties:
Freestone is actively purchasing marginal oil and gas properties and leasing properties that will be used in the further research and development of its oil enhancement technologies. This research focuses on the types of formations that will benefit the most from the use of the solvent, as well as the various applications from production and storage to end cycle refinement.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates, on a periodic basis, long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment in accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The evaluation is based on certain impairment indicators, such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If these impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, then an estimate of the discounted value of expected future operating cash flows is used to determine whether the asset is recoverable and the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using valuation techniques such as market prices for similar assets or discounted future operating cash flows.
Asset Retirement Obligation:
The Company records the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in the period in which an obligation is incurred and records a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. For Freestone Resources, asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the abandonment of oil and gas properties. The present value of the estimated asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of oil and gas properties. The settlement date fair value is discounted at Freestone Resource’s credit adjusted risk-free rate in determining the abandonment liability. The abandonment liability is accreted with the passage of time to its expected settlement fair value. Revisions to such estimates are recorded as adjustments to ARO and capitalized asset retirement costs and are charged to operations in the period in which they become known. At the time the abandonment cost is incurred, Freestone Resources is required to recognize a gain or loss if the actual costs do not equal the estimated costs included in ARO.
The amounts recognized for ARO are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future abandonment costs, future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future inflation rates, and the credit adjusted risk free interest rate.

NOTE 2 – FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

At December 31, 2013 the Company recorded an impairment expense of $12,575 to reduce its net investment in the Rogers lease to $14,470. See Note 11 for information regarding subsequent event regarding disposal of lease.
NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable (deferred tax liability) or benefit (deferred tax asset). Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
During the six months ended December 31, 2013 the Company had a net loss of $318,618 increasing the deferred tax asset approximately $102,210 at the statutory tax rate of 34%.

The realization of deferred tax benefits is contingent upon future earnings and is fully reserved at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.
NOTE 4 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
The Company’s asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) primarily represents the estimated present value of the amount Freestone Resources will incur to plug, abandon and remediate sits producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable state laws. Freestone Resources determines the ARO on its oil and gas properties by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. At December 31, 2013, the liability for ARO was $14,470, all of which is considered long term. The asset retirement obligations are recorded as current or non-current liabilities based on the estimated timing of the anticipated cash flows. During 2014, the Company sold the Carroll lease resulting in a reduction in the ARO obligation of $26,027.
10 |
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 9 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Freestone incurred operating losses, and negative cash flow from operations as of December 31, 2013. The above factors raise substantial doubt about Freestone's ability to continue as a going concern. Freestone's continued existence is dependent on its ability to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing to fund its operations. Freestone plans to raise additional financing and to increase sales volume. There is no assurance that Freestone will obtain additional financing or achieve profitable operations or cash inflows. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary as a result of this uncertainty.

On June 24, 2015 the Company entered into an agreement with Dynamis in order to form the joint venture FDEP, a Delaware limited liability company. Freestone determined to enter into a joint venture with Dynamis based on their track record and experience in the waste-to-energy industry, and their ability to provide the necessary funding to fully integrate the production, marketing and sale of Petrozene™ to current and future customers. The terms of the joint venture between the Company and Dynamis are as follows:
• | Freestone owns a 70% member interest in FDEP for licensing the rights to use Petrozene™ to FDEP; and |
• | Dynamis owns a 30% member interest FDEP in exchange providing funding up to $5,000,000 to operate the joint venture, and purchase a continuous-feed pyrolysis machine capable of producing a product that can be used to produce Petrozene™; and |
• | FDEP will be leasing employees from CTR, and said employees will operate the machine. FDEP will reimburse CTR for the leased employees; and |
• | FDEP has the right, but not the obligation to purchase CTR from Freestone through cash compensation to Freestone, the issuance of additional units in FDEP to Freestone or a combination of both cash and units in FDEP as mutually agreed upon by FDEP and Freestone; and |
• | FDEP will lease a building from CTR in order to operate the specialized pyrolysis technology for payment of either the ad valorem taxes associated with the rented property or $1,000 per month depending on which amount is the greater of the two; and |
• | Dynamis will receive 80% of the distributions from FDEP until they have reached a 25% initial rate of return on funds invested into the joint venture. Once the 25% initial rate of return threshold is meet all distributions from FDEP will be split according to the 70 / 30 member interest of FDEP owned by the Company and Dynamis. |
On June 24, 2015 FDEP simultaneously entered into a lease agreement with a company that has developed a continuous-feed pyrolysis technology that will be operated by FDEP at the Company’s facility in Ennis, Texas. FDEP and the company that developed the pyrolysis technology will split the revenues generated from the machine. FDEP will receive 70% of the revenues generated from the machine, and the company providing the continuous-feed pyrolysis technology will receive 30% of the revenues. This revenue split will remain in place so long as the machine is operating at the Company’s facility in Ennis, Texas. The agreement between the two companies allows FDEP the opportunity to ensure that the technology continues to operate properly under the strict conditions that are necessary to produce Petrozene™. If the leased pyrolysis machine operates within certain, predefined parameters then FDEP has the right to purchase additional machines.
On June 29, 2015 the Company also issued 100,000 shares valued at $.0661 per share based on the closing price on the date of issue to consultants as consideration for services rendered to the Company.

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.
General
On August 22, 2007, the Company changed its name to Freestone Resources, Inc. in anticipation of going into the oil and gas technology development business. Since that time Freestone has been actively engaged in the development of technologies that can enhance oil and gas production in an environmentally responsible way. The Company currently markets and sells Petrozene, which is a solvent derived from recycled hydrocarbons. Petrozene can cost effectively decrease paraffin buildup in oil and gas wells, and can be utilized to clean oil storage facilities. Furthermore, Petrozene has been shown to reduce bottom sediment and water in oil storage tanks and act as a de-emulsification agent.
