DALECO RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

1. CONTINUED OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates that Daleco Resources Corporation and 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. The Company incurred a net loss of $308,980 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The ability of the Company to meet its total liabilities of $8,232,152 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 Company continues to seek out and entertain project specific funding commitments and other capital funding alternatives if and as they become available.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were in default of certain debt and other obligations. The holders of these instruments are working with the Company to achieve the ultimate extinguishment of the obligations.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Description of Business

The Company is a Nevada corporation and its Articles provide for authorized capital stock of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company is a natural resources 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 patented products utilizing the Company’s minerals.  The Company's assets consist of two separate categories: oil and gas and non-metallic minerals. The Company’s wholly-owned active subsidiaries include Westlands Resources Corporation, Deven Resources, Inc., DRI Operating Company, Inc., Clean Age Minerals, Inc. and CA Properties, Inc.

Clean Age Minerals, Inc., through its subsidiary, CA Properties, Inc. (collectively “CAMI”), owns fee interests, leasehold interests and federal mining claims containing non-metallic minerals (kaolin and zeolite) in the states of New Mexico, Texas and Utah. CAMI is presently engaged in the exploration for such minerals and intends to mine the minerals through the use of contract miners and arrangements with its joint venture partners. CAMI also owns the CA Series Patented Process which utilizes many of the minerals owned by or under lease to CAMI for the cleansing, decontamination and remediation of air, water and soils.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, Westland Resources Corporation, DRI Operating Company and Deven Resources, Inc., owns and operates oil and gas properties in Texas and West Virginia. The Company owns (a) working interests in wells in Texas and West Virginia and (b) overriding royalty interests in (i) seventy wells in the Deerlick Coalbed Methane Field in Alabama and (ii) two wells and undeveloped acreage in Pennsylvania and (iii) one well in Texas.

DALECO RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
 
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. For further information, these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K (“2009 Annual Report”).

Unless otherwise noted, references to “year” pertain to the Company’s fiscal year, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30; for example, 2010 refers to fiscal 2010, which is the period from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no changes to the Company’s Significant Accounting Policies from those disclosed in its 2009 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s only financial instruments are (a) cash, securities available for future sale, and short-term trade receivables, payables and debt, and (b) a long-term note payable to a bank. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, securities available for future sale, and short-term trade receivables, payables and debt approximate fair values because of the immediate nature of short-term maturities of these financial instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for long-term bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the carrying amount of long-term bank debt approximates fair value of $56,909 at December 31, 2009.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2009 through the date the financial statements were available to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). See Note 8 – Subsequent Events.

New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to add two new disclosures: (1) transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and (2) a gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 roll forward. The proposal also includes clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The proposed guidance would apply to all entities required to make disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The effective date of the ASU is the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years.   Early application is permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption will have on its financial statements.

DALECO RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued two ASU’s that (1) codify SEC Observer comments made at the June 2009 EITF meeting and (2) make technical corrections to several SEC sections of the FASB Codification. In general, the two ASU’s do not change existing practice.  ASU 2010-05, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation, codifies EITF Topic D-110, Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation, which provides the SEC staff's view on when an escrowed share arrangement involving shareholders is presumed to be compensatory and the factors to consider when analyzing whether that presumption has been overcome. The SEC Observer announced the views captured in EITF Topic D-110 at the June 2009 EITF meeting.   ASU 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics—Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs, primarily includes technical corrections to various topics containing SEC guidance as a result of recently-issued authoritative guidance and updates for Codification references.   These two ASU’s do not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-03, Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures. The FASB's objective in issuing the ASU was to align the oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements in ASC 932 with the requirements in the SEC final rule, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting.  The amendments to the Codification in this ASU are designed to improve the reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of Topic 932 by: (a) updating the reserve estimation requirements for recent changes in practice and technology; and (b) expanding the disclosure requirements for equity method investments.  ASU 2010-03 is effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. Entities should apply the adoption of the amendments as a change in accounting principle inseparable from a change in estimate. The amendments in ASU 2010-03 specify the required disclosures for the effect of adoption, and early adoption is not permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption will have on its financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - A Scope Clarification. This ASU clarifies that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and related guidance applies to (1) a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity; (2) a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture; and (3) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a noncontrolling interest in an entity (including an equity method investee or joint venture).  ASU 2010-02 also clarifies that the decrease in ownership guidance in Subtopic 810-10 does not apply to: (a) sales of in substance real estate; and (b) conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights, even if these transfers involve businesses.  The amendments in this ASU expand the disclosure requirements about deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets.   ASU 2010-02 is effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB 51 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). If an entity has previously adopted Statement 160, the amendments are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in ASU 2010-02 should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopts Statement 160.   This ASU does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

 
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, which codifies FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). ASU 2009-17 represents a revision to former FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance.  ASU 2009-17 also requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements.  ASU 2009-17 is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010. Early application is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, which the provisions of ASU 2009-17 may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, which formally codifies FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets into the ASC. ASU 2009-16 represents a revision to the provisions of former FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. Among other things, ASU 2009-16 (1) eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity”, (2) changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and (3) enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010. Early application is not permitted. The provisions of ASU 2009-16 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. ASU 2009-15 includes amendments to ASC Topic 470, Debt, (Subtopic 470-20), and ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (Subtopic 260-10), to provide guidance on share-lending arrangements entered into on an entity's own shares in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing.  The provisions of ASU 2009-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those years. Retrospective application is required for such arrangements.   The provisions of ASU 2009-15 are effective for arrangements entered into on (not outstanding) or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. Certain transition disclosures are also required. Early application is not permitted.  The provisions of ASU 2009-15 are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB published ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) - Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements. ASU 2009-14 changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in ASC Subtopic 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance.   The provisions of ASU 2009-14 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The provisions of ASU 2009-14 are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB published ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. ASU 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.   The provisions of ASU 2009-13 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 or the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  The provisions of ASU 2009-14 are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB published ASU No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). ASU 2009-12 amends ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). It also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments, about the attributes includes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification.   The provisions of ASU 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted.  The provisions of ASU 2009-14 is effective for the Company and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On December 31, 2008, the SEC published final rules and interpretations updating its oil and gas reporting requirements. Many of the revisions are updates to definitions in the existing oil and gas rules to make them consistent with the Petroleum Resource Management System, which is a widely accepted standard for the management of petroleum resources that was developed by several industry organizations. Key revisions include the ability to include nontraditional resources in reserves, the use of new technology for determining reserves, permitting disclosure of probable and possible reserves, and changes to the pricing used to determine reserves based on a 12-month average price rather than a period end spot price. The average is to be calculated using the first-day-of-the-month price for each of the 12 months that make up the reporting period. The new rules are effective for annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. This statement is effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption will have on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company is an exploration stage company in respect to its mineral holdings.

During October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell zeolite to be used in certain agricultural applications including but not limited to feed supplements and soil additives in a ten state area in the south-central part of the US.

In December 2009, the proposed 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. This will facilitate the project moving to the next phases, including site preparation for extraction operations and the continued evaluation of potential product specific marketing arrangements with certain third parties.

4. PREMIUM FINANCE NOTE PAYABLE

During November 2009, the Company entered into a Premium Finance Note Payable for $23,696 to finance certain insurance premiums.  The maturity date of the note is October 1, 2010 and the interest rate is 11.2%. Consistent with the provisions of the note, the Company has been making monthly payments of principal and interest of $2,285. The balance of the Note at December 31, 2009 is $21,634.

5. 7.25% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

In June 2009, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $500,000 of 7.25% Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are convertible at a conversion price equal to the greater of either $0.14 per share or an amount equal to 80% of the average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Common Stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Debentures are five (5) year instruments maturing on July 30, 2014, bearing interest at 7.25 % per annum on the balance outstanding from time to time.  Interest commences to accrue immediately upon issuance of the Debentures and will be paid quarterly on each September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30 for which the Debentures are outstanding.  Payment of principal will commence on September 30 following the second anniversary of the closing date of the offering. The Company has extended the offering period for the Debentures until May 31, 2010, at the request of potential investors. The Company is utilizing the proceeds of this private placement for general working capital purposes.

 During the three months ended December 31, 2009, a Director purchased Debentures totaling $30,000.

Debentures totaling $30,000 are outstanding at December 31, 2009. The Company recorded a discount of $12,857 on the Debentures resulting from the beneficial conversion feature which will be amortized through the maturity date of the Debentures. Such discount was determined based on the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock in excess of the conversion price per share as of the commitment date to purchase the Debentures. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $47 of contractual coupon interest and $144 of amortization of the discount and such amounts are included in interest expense. The effective interest rate for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was 40%. The if-converted value of the Debentures at December 31, 2009 exceeds the principal amount of the Debentures by $12,000.

6. CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock

No shares of Common Stock were issued during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

No shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued or converted to Common Stock during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the three months ended December 31, 2009, options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock were granted. There are options to purchase 1,987,500 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2009, of which options to purchase 1,800,000 shares are held by current officers, Directors and employees of the Company (“Insiders”).  The exercise prices for the options held by Insiders range from $0.21 per share to $0.67 per share.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $9,419 and $22,464, 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 2.43% and 4.16%; expected life of three to seven years; and expected volatility between 37% and 106%.

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 anti-dilutive.

Options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock were outstanding during the periods but 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 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the 7.25% Convertible Debentures (see Note 5) 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. No other adjustments were made for purposes of per share calculations.

Payment of Accrued Dividends

There were no cash dividend payments in respect to either series of Preferred Stock during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

7. PENDING LITIGATION

During October 2009, a working interest owner commenced an action against a subsidiary of the Company in the District Court of Burleson County, Texas, for an accounting of expense and revenues for six wells.  The subsidiary, through its Texas counsel, has filed a general denial of the claim.  In November 2009, such subsidiary provided the plaintiff with a complete accounting for all wells in question. The plaintiff has not responded to the documents and information provided to it.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During January 2010, the Company issued Debentures totaling $25,000. A purchaser of $10,000 of the Debentures elected to immediately convert such holding into Common Stock at an average conversion price of $0.14 per share; accordingly, the Company issued 71,429 shares of Common Stock.

In January 2010, the Company borrowed $40,000 from a Director which the Company used to satisfy certain delinquent payables.

On February 4, 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of wastewaters.  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.

Management performed an evaluation of Company activity through February 12, 2009, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued, and concluded that there are no other significant subsequent events requiring disclosure.

OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

Oil and Gas Sales

Oil and Gas Sales decreased to $79,252 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $126,326 for three months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in oil and gas production experienced during the three months ended December 31, 2009 is primarily a result of wells being “off-line” for repair and declines in the producing gas-oil ratio from certain producing wells operated by the Company in Texas.

Well Management Revenue

 Well Management Revenue increased to $66,148 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $65,700 for three months ended December 31, 2008.

Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes

Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes decreased to $46,223 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $47,726 for three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in Lease Operating Expenses and Production and Severance Taxes per Mcfe is primarily the result of the decrease in production of oil and gas.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization: Oil and Gas

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) totaled $32,850 and $46,492 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Such decrease is primarily the result of the decrease in production of oil and gas.

MINERALS OPERATIONS

The Company is an Exploration Stage company in respect to its mineral holdings.  In December 2009, the proposed 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. This will facilitate the project moving to the next phases, including site preparation for extraction operations and the continued evaluation of potential product specific marketing arrangements with certain third parties.

Minerals Sales

Minerals sales totaled $3,506 and $2,417 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell zeolite to be used in certain agricultural applications including but not limited to feed supplements and soil additives in a ten state area in the south-central part of the US. The Company made initial shipments during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Minerals Exploration Expenses

The Company did not incur minerals exploration expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These expenses are primarily for costs associated with the exploration and quantification of mineral resources and mineral reserves. Such expenses related to the kaolin reserves were the responsibility of the Company’s partner.

Minerals Operating Expenses and Other Costs

Minerals operating expenses and other costs totaled $2,249 and $19,259 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company incurring no expenses related to its calcium carbonate minerals in the three months ended December 31, 2009. During the fiscal 2009, the Company determined that additional efforts to develop its calcium carbonate minerals in New Mexico were no longer warranted.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization: Minerals

Depreciation, depletion and amortization totaled $145,030 and $144,564 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Such amounts include amortization of Technology and Patent Rights of $144,363 and $144,363 in the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses totaled $182,963 and $180,465 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $9,419 and $22,464 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense totaled $53,824 and $51,915 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $47 of contractual coupon interest and $144 of amortization of the discount relating to the 7.25% Convertible Debentures as discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash flow used in operating activities was $94,019 and $452,501 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Funds have been and are being deployed in efforts to enhance the commercial viability of the Company’s existing resource assets, to identify potential expansion opportunities and to retire obligations associated with the Company’s assets. The Company’s net cash at December 31, 2009 was $52,201.

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.

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 has instituted cost containment procedures including staff decreases, sold certain of its oil and gas properties, 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.

In March 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interests in certain operated gas wells and related gas gathering system in West Virginia with cash consideration to the Company of $150,000 of which $100,000 was received in April 2008. In May 2008, the Company sold its interests in certain oil and gas properties (primarily undeveloped acreage) in Pennsylvania for $250,000.

During June 2009, the Company offered a Private Placement under the provisions of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “2009 Private Placement”). Private Placement consists of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of 7.25% Convertible Debentures (“Debentures” or “Debenture”).  The Debentures offered by the Company, are five (5) year instruments maturing on July 30, 2014, bearing interest at seven and one quarter percent (7.25 %) per annum on the balance outstanding from time to time.  Interest will commence to accrue immediately upon issuance of the Debentures and will be paid quarterly on each September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, which the Debentures are outstanding.  Payment of principal will commence on September 30 following the second anniversary of the Closing Date of this Offering.  The Company extended the offering period for the Debentures until May 31, 2010 at the request of potential investors.

 Through December 31, 2009, this private placement raised $158,500 (net of fees and expenses) for the Company. Through September 30, 2009, all of the purchasers of the Debentures elected to immediately convert such holdings into shares of Common Stock at an average conversion price of $0.14 per share and, accordingly, the Company has issued 1,019,465 shares of Common Stock.

During January 2010, the Company issued Debentures totaling $25,000. The Company is utilizing the proceeds of this private placement for general working capital purposes.

In January 2010, the Company borrowed $40,000 from a Director which the Company used to satisfy certain delinquent payables.

COMMERCIALIZATION OF MINERAL ASSETS

During fiscal 2009, the Company determined that additional efforts to develop its calcium carbonate minerals in New Mexico were no longer warranted. The Company is continuing to pursue plans to commercialize its kaolin and zeolite deposits which are critical for the Company to achieve profitability and establishing 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.  With respect to the Company’s zeolite deposit, certain initial small scale tests have progressed to the point where larger scalable pilot tests of commercial applications are to be initiated.

Zeolite

During October, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell zeolite to be used in certain agricultural applications including but not limited to feed supplements and soil additives in a ten state area in the south-central part of the US. The Company made initial shipments during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

On February 4, 2010, the Company entered into a License Agreement concerning two US method patents for the treatment of wastewaters.  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.

Kaolin

The efforts of the Company and Tecumseh Professional Associates LLC to evaluate the Sierra Kaolin deposit are progressing. 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 for coatings, fillers and pigments for use within the paint and paper manufacturing industries. The analysis results of the processed minerals with respect to its physical properties such as but not limited to, brightness, color, opacity, oil absorption have indicated that commercially viable products can be produced from the deposit’s extracted minerals.

The venture, with the assistance of its consultants, has begun technical presentations of the product formulations to entities active on both the demand and supply sides of the coatings, fillers and pigments sectors of the paint and paper industries. Preliminary feedback from these initial presentations has been encouraging and has led to follow-up discussions and submission of product samples for prospective application testing. The final results of these inquiries and testing are expected over the next several months. Tecumseh, as the project’s manager, is proceeding with its efforts to prepare the mineral deposit site for production. In December 2009, the proposed 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. This extraction permit will facilitate the project moving to the next phases, including site preparation for extraction operations and the continued evaluation of potential product specific marketing arrangements with certain third parties.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no “off-balance sheet arrangements” and does not expect to enter into any such arrangements in the foreseeable future.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For details of applicable new accounting standards, please, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

None.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the 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 Commission’s rules and forms.
     
On December 31, 2009, the Company had two employees and engaged the Chief Accounting Officer on a consulting basis.  All day-to-day financial matters are overseen by the Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer with oversight by the Board of Directors.  All contracting by the Company, for other than everyday items, is done with the approval of the entire Board of Directors.

In light of the size of the Company, its limited cash flow and the transparency of its actions, the Company has instituted a limited number of formal controls and procedures in addition to those required under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 related to the composition of its Board of Directors and the establishment of various Board Committees. These policies include an Employee Manual outlining procedures relating but not limited to employee dispute resolution and issues related to “controlled substances” and policies in handling the recordation and transfer of funds. Any problem which cannot be resolved internally or which an employee does not desire to discuss with a superior may be discussed with counsel or an independent member of the Board of Directors.
 
The Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, established, consistent with the provisions of Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) of the '34 Act, a procedure and check list for the filing of all information and reports required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX"). Since the Company employs only two people, as of the filing date, the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer/President/Chief Financial Officer is responsible for reporting and filing reports. In addition to the mandatory filing requirements established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, OTC:BB (the exchange on which the Registrant's stock is traded) and SOX, the Registrant has taken the position that any transaction that could impact the value of the Company or the Company's stock by five percent or greater requires disclosure. All press releases are published by the Company only after submittal to the Board of Directors and counsel for review, comment and approval.

The Company's internal controls over financial reporting and record maintenance have been developed by the Company as approved by the Board of Directors.  These procedures are for the detailed and accurate recordation of all transactions in which the Company is involved and the disposition of assets. They provide reasonable assurance that the transactions recorded permit the accurate preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals and that receipt and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management.  The controls provide reasonable assurances regarding the prevention and timely detection of unauthorized use of Company assets and acquisition or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics (see Exhibit 14.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007) for all of the Company's employees, officers and Directors.  Each officer and Director of the Company annually affirms that he has read the Company’s Code of Ethics and agrees to be bound thereby.
