TOT ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Basis of Presentation

TOT Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Splinex Technology, Inc., was organized on February 6, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splinex, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and was the surviving entity pursuant to a merger with Ener1 Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ener1, Inc., a Florida corporation. The Company initially intended to develop advanced technologies in the three-dimensional or 3D computer graphics industry. Under an agreement effective April 1, 2004 (the “Contribution Agreement”), Splinex, LLC contributed substantially all of its assets, liabilities and operations to the Company. The Company began its development stage activity on October 28, 2003 (“Inception”), the date of formation of Splinex, LLC, and ended development stage activity on July 16, 2008 when we acquired a 75% interest in the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture and began operations in the oil and gas service industry.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements are not included herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2009. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any particular quarterly period or the year ending March 31, 2010. It is recommended that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended March 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Basis of Consolidation

The interim financial statements include the accounts of TOT Energy, Inc., the accounts of our 75% joint venture, TOT- SIBBNS, a limited liability company formed under the laws of Russia (also known as the Russian Federation) and the accounts of our 51% joint venture, Korlea-TOT, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Czech Republic. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in this consolidation.

Business Activity

TOT Energy, Inc. is working to acquire a portfolio of energy related assets. To this end, from time to time, the Company may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world.   Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.  Prior to 2008, the Company developed computer software products.

TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis. The Company has determined to unwind the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture (See Note 8 – Subsequent Events).

KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of electricity in the Czech Republic. Korlea-TOT was expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of expenses for the period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its U.S. Dollar-denominated cash in a bank deposit account, the balance of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Bank accounts in the United States are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to a limit of $250,000.  At December 31, 2009, we had $330,183 in one account at Bank of America and the rest of our balances did not exceed the $250,000 FDIC limit at December 31, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any balances in USA in excess of $250,000.

The Company also maintains bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic and at December 31, 2009, the balances were $17,179 and $105,972 respectively.  At March 31, 2009, bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic were $0 and $76,656, respectively.  The non-United States bank balances are not insured and there is risk of loss in the event such banks should fail.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company’s primary operations are conducted outside the United States and we use foreign currencies to operate our consolidated foreign subsidiaries. Quarterly income and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars using the average interbank rate for the three-month period. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the interbank rate as of the balance sheet date. Equity items are translated at their historical rate. The Company does not engage in any currency hedging activities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from its contract on the completed contract method due to uncertainty in counterparty performance and collections under its terms.  Under the completed contract method, revenues and costs are included in operations when the contract or contractually agreed upon milestone is completed.  Any losses expected are charged to operations in the period that such losses are probable.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares issuable upon exercise of common stock options or warrants. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The Company did not issue any new options for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, but recorded a compensation expense of $8,519 for options that vested during the period.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 6,713,215 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock in exchange for $134,264 pursuant to the terms of its Subscription Agreement with TGR Energy, LLC (see Notes 6 and 7).  In addition, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to an unrelated third party, pursuant to the terms of an agreement assigned to the Company by TGR Energy, in exchange for $300,000 (see Note 8 – Subsequent Events).

At December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding vested stock options to purchase 667,593 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 49,455,925 shares of common stock.  For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, these securities are excluded from the earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash deposits, short-term payables and related party payables. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of third-party financial instruments approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities and the related party payables are interest bearing and payable on demand.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Subsequent Events

For the purposes of determining whether a post-balance sheet event should be evaluated to determine whether it has an effect on the financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2009, subsequent events were evaluated by the Company as of February 15, 2010, the date on which the unaudited consolidated financial statements at and for the period ended December 31, 2009, were available to be issued.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had been in the development stage until the second quarter of 2008 and has had minimal revenues since Inception. Management recognizes that the Company must raise capital sufficient to fund business activities until such time as it can generate sufficient revenues and net cash flows in amounts necessary to enable it to continue in existence. These factors include our history of net losses and that minimal revenues have been earned to date.

The Company is dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi to fund its operations. On August 7, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”) with TGR, wherein TGR committed to invest up to $2,000,000 in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.02 per share. In addition, the Company granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in the Company’s operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investments in the Company on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.  TGR remains obligated to invest up to $21,763 remaining under the Subscription Agreement.  In January, the Company and TGR amended the Subscription Agreement to increase the Investment Amount to $4,000,000 (See Note 8 – Subsequent Events).

The Company’s independent auditors’ report on its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that its current operating strategy, as described herein, provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s sole reportable business segment is the oil and gas service sector. The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

NOTE 4. CONTRACT ACCOUNTING

The Company accounts for its long-term contracts using the completed contract method of revenue recognition due to increasing uncertainties relating to its sole customer’s ability to continue to finance the existing contract to completion.  The completed contract method recognizes income only when the contract, or milestone in the contract, is substantially complete.  Project costs and related revenues are accumulated and are reflected in operations only when an estimated loss is probable.  The contract will be deemed complete when our customer agrees that each milestone contained in the contract has been met.

Billed contract receivables consist of amounts due under our second contract.  Our initial contract has been suspended due to lack of financing by our customer.   We have fully reserved for uncollected billings and for costs in excess of billings for this contract in the amount of $427,783.   There are no revenues or costs charged to operations for the periods ended December 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008 under the completed contract method relating to our initial contract.

Our second drilling contract is a two-phase contract for an aggregate consideration of approximately $419,000. Phase one of the contract was completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and contributed $116,424 to revenues during the quarter.  Our contractual and actual gross margin on this project is 15% and we recognized $98,960 in cost of sales for the first phase of this contract.  We incurred additional costs for the second contract of $182,512, which have been capitalized as Project Costs on our balance sheet.  We expect to bill approximately $302,576 and achieve a gross margin of 15%.  The second phase should be completed by March 31, 2010.  However, in the event that the unwind of the joint venture with TOT-SIBBNS occurs prior to the completion of this contract, revenues and costs associated with this contract will be allocated through the date of unwind.

For more information, see Note 1 –  “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” above.

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held. The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be divided into series with the designations, powers, preferences, and relative rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions as determined by the Company’s board of directors.

Under an Exchange Agreement dated December 18, 2007, the Company agreed to issue 113,500,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company to TGR Energy, LLC, of which 8,500,000 shares were issued to Bzinfin, S.A., a British Virgin Islands limited corporation that is indirectly owned by an affiliate of the Ener1 Group, and 2,125,000 shares were issued to Alexander Malovik, a principal of Splinex, LLC, in exchange for the Bzinfin and Ener1 Group notes totaling $3,688,132.  TGR Energy, LLC owned 98,157,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 17, 2007, and after the completion of the Exchange Agreement transactions owned an aggregate of 201,032,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 18, 2007. The Company had a total of 100,757,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 17, 2007 and 214,507,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 18, 2007.

On August 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “ Subscription Agreement”) with TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”), wherein TGR committed to invest up to $2,000,000 in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.02 per share. In addition, the Company granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended.  The Subscription Agreement was amended on January 12, 2010 (See Note 8 – Subsequent Events) to increase the Investment Amount by an additional $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 in exchange for up to an additional 100,000,000 common shares and 50,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock for $0.05 per share for a period of 5 years from date of issuance.

For the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense of $0.10 per share or $8,519 and  $25,464, respectively for options of Mr. New issued on August 13, 2008 that vested during the quarter and the nine month period ended December 31, 2009.

Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives.  On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to $91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009.  A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $10,000 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.

Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009.  The Company recorded a compensation charge of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation expense of $1,042 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation.  Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities.  The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services.  Given the unstable equity markets last year, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties going forward.  There were no charges for this agreement for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement.  These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable.  A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.  This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.

A compensation charge of $2,077,306 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, TGR was issued 6,713,215 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $134,264 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,376,284 was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.  In addition, TGR and the Company executed an amendment to the Subscription Agreement that increases the Investment Amount from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 with a corresponding increase in stock and warrants to be provided (See Note 8 – Subsequent Events).  All other terms of the Subscription Agreement remain the same.

The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company receives certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company.  This arrangement is valued at $50,000, which amount was recorded as an advertising expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock outstanding under its stock option plan, of which options to purchase 667,593 shares of common stock are vested, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and with a remaining weighted average contractual term of 5.16 years.

The purchase price is required to be paid on or before April 1, 2010. Dune paid $300,000 on November 23, 2009. In order to ensure compliance with obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the issuance of shares to Dune by TGR, TGR assigned this Purchase Agreement to the Company. Accordingly, the Company received $300,000 pursuant to this agreement and issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Dune on January 12, 2010.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward -looking statements. These statements relate to our expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding future events or future financial performance.  Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regarding: our future business plans; future sales of our products and services; introduction of new products and services; expected hiring levels; marketing plans; increases of selling, general and administrative costs; financing requirements and capital raising plans; successful integration and development of acquired businesses; regulatory and economic factors affecting the oil and gas business and other factors that may impact our acquisition and development strategy, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict.  These statements are only predictions and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. The following important factors, in addition to those discussed in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) from time to time, and other unforeseen events or circumstances, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements: general economic conditions; competition; weather; our ability to raise capital; our ability to control costs; changes within our industries; new and upgraded products and services by us or our competitors; employee retention; sovereign risk; legal and regulatory issues; changes in accounting policies or practices; currency translation and exchange risks; and the market price of oil.

All forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date of this filing, and we assume no obligation to update such statements, although we will continue to comply with our obligations under the securities laws.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 filed with the Commission and the consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included in this Report.

General

We are working to build a diversified portfolio of energy assets.   To this end, from time to time, we may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Our policy is not to disclose discussions or potential transactions until definitive agreements have been executed. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

On July 16, 2008, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Evgeny Bogorad (“Bogorad”), owner of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia, an oil service company (“SIBBNS”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Bogorad has contributed certain of SIBBNS assets and personnel to a joint venture company named TOT-SIBBNS, Ltd., a Russian corporation (“TOT-SIBBNS”). An independent appraisal company has appraised the contributed assets at $6,221,881.

At the closing on July 16, 2008, we issued to Bogorad 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS. We are obligated to issue to Bogorad 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock upon TOT-SIBBNS obtaining $10,000,000 in gross revenue during the three-year period following the closing. If TOT-SIBBNS achieves this gross revenue target and Bogorad continues to hold the shares issued pursuant to the JV Agreement on the third anniversary of the closing and the stock price is less than $1.00 per share, then we, in our sole discretion, must either make an additional payment in cash or additional shares of stock to Bogorad in an amount equal to the difference in the value per share and $1.00 multiplied by the total number of shares held by Bogorad, or, if we decline to make such payment, Bogorad may require us to return our interest in TOT-SIBBNS in exchange for a payment to us of the fair market value of any assets acquired directly by TOT-SIBBNS (other than the assets initially contributed to the Joint Venture by Bogorad pursuant to the JV Agreement) and 75% of the retained earnings, accounts receivable and cash of TOT-SIBBNS. Bogorad will act as the manager of TOT-SIBBNS. We have the ability to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of TOT-SIBBNS.

TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that have generated the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.

On or about January 27, 2010, the Company determined to unwind the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture.  The Company and TOT-SIBBNS are currently discussing the terms of an unwind agreement whereby the Company will exchange its 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS for the 3,000,000 shares given to Evgeny Borograd.  We expect to finalize the unwind agreement by March 31, 2010. For more information relating to the unwind of the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture including pro forma presentation as if the unwind occurred on December 31, 2009, see Note 8 – Subsequent Events of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Our second contract for drilling services was entered into in November 2009 for an aggregate of approximately $419,000 in billings over the two phases of the contract. The first phase was completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and we received payments in December and January aggregating $116,424.  Our contractual and actual gross margin on this project is 15% and we recognized $98,960 in cost of sales for the first phase of this contract.  Costs incurred for the second phase was  $182,512, and these costs are capitalized as project costs on our balance sheet.  These costs represent activities and associated costs for the final phase of the second contract for which we expect to bill approximately $302,576 and achieve a gross margin of 15%.  The second phase should be completed by March 31, 2010.  However, in the event that the unwind of the joint venture with TOT-SIBBNS occurs prior to the completion of this contract, revenues and costs associated with this contract will be allocated through the date of unwind.

KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of energy assets in the Czech Republic. The new joint venture, Korlea-TOT, established as of July 17, 2008, is expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts.  There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.

Short term financing is provided by TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”) as we require additional working capital, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”). TGR has agreed to provide up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in our operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investment on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.  On January 12, 2010, TGR agreed to increase its funding commitment from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 in exchange for up to an additional 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share for a period of five years from date of issuance.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement.  These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable.  A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.  This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, TGR was issued 5,395,600 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,697,800 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $107,912 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, TGR was issued 6,713,215 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $134,264 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,376,284 was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.

The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company would receive certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company.  This arrangement is valued at $50,000, which amount was recorded as an advertising expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives.  On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to 91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009.  A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $10,000 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.

Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009.  The Company recorded a compensation expense of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation expense of $1,042 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation.  Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities.  The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services.  Given the unstable equity markets over the last year, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties.  There were no charges relating to this agreement for subsequent quarters.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 23, 2009, TGR agreed to sell to Dune Capital Group ("Dune") an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of TOT Energy, Inc. held by TGR for a purchase price of $0.10 per share or an aggregate of $500,000. The purchase price is required to be paid on or before April 1, 2010. Dune paid $300,000 on November 23, 2009. In order to ensure compliance with obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the issuance of shares to Dune by TGR, TGR assigned this Purchase Agreement to the Company. Accordingly, the Company received $300,000 pursuant to this agreement and issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Dune on January 12, 2010.

Several factors raise significant doubt as to our ability to continue operating as a going concern. These factors include our history of net losses and that we have recently commenced operations and, until the second quarter of 2008, have earned minimal revenues, as well as the termination of TOT-SIBBNS first contract and the decision to unwind the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture. We are dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi to fund our operations. Our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern.   The Company is currently developing a downstream solar business that will provide complete  solar solutions (design, installation, maintenance and finance) to commercial customers.  This will be accomplished through acquisitions and hiring of key personnel.  We expect to utilize existing commercial real estate industry relationships of our management to generate opportunities for solar installation proposals in the United States.   Management believes that our current operating plans to develop a downstream solar business, provides the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.

Results of Operations for the Three-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

We reported a net loss of  $1,751,452 or $(0.01) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $6,328,588 or $(0.03) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding were 312,156,555 and 223,758,378 for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 was negatively impacted by the non-cash compensation expense of $1,376,284 related to shares and warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement with TGR, which was substantially less that the non-cash compensation expense of $5,683,956 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. 

TOT-SIBBNS accounts for projects using the completed contract method where all costs are capitalized on the balance sheet as project costs.  Contract billings are recorded as a reduction to project costs and revenue will only be recognized once amounts collected exceed costs incurred.  We reported $116,424 in revenue from the first phase of our second drilling contract, obtained in November 2009, during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and we had no revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Additionally, pursuant to the completed contract method, costs incurred for our second oil drilling contract were $98,960 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  In addition, project costs for the second phase of the contract were $182,512.  Project costs for our first contract were $124 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and this amount was reserved for as uncollectible.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $1,814,741 of which $200,662 was attributable to TOT-SIBBNS and $1,614,079 was attributable to TOT Energy (primarily relating to non-cash compensation expense).  All general and administrative expenses relating to domestic operations were lower than reported in the comparable three month period ended December 31, 2008.  Travel, rent and investor relations expenses were all lower in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 versus December 31, 2008 as the Company worked to reduce operating expenses.  Salaries and benefits are also lower due to lower headcount and salary reductions.  Professional fees were also lower due to reduced accounting and legal fees.

TOT -SIBBNS general and administrative expenses were lower than the comparable quarter one year ago as a result of less activity relating to contract performance during the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The following table details the major expense items by category for the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008:

During the three months ended December 31, 2009, we obtained funding of an aggregate of $134,264 under the Subscription Agreement with TGR and recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $1,376,284. This charge is the result of an intrinsic value calculation that measures the difference between fair value on date of issuance of the shares and the purchase price per share under the Subscription Agreement, which amounted to a compensation expense of $872,718. Additionally, the warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock issued in connection with these fundings resulted in a corresponding compensation expense of $503,566 based on a Black-Scholes valuation model.

The non-controlling interest relating to the TOT-SIBBNS and Korlea-TOT joint ventures were $45,800 and $25, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with $61,076 and $0, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The joint venture non-controlling interest reflects the joint venture partner’s ownership of each joint venture.

Results of Operations for the Nine-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

We reported a net loss of $6,151,225 or $(0.02) per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $8,792,136 or $(0.04) per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding were 306,108,759 and 218,501,521 for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we obtained funding of an aggregate of $323,730 under the Subscription Agreement with TGR and recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $4,717,677. This charge is the result of an intrinsic value calculation that measures the difference between fair value on date of issuance of the shares and the purchase price per share under the Subscription Agreement, which amounted to a compensation expense of $3,037,158. Additionally, the warrants to purchase 8,093,757 shares of common stock issued in connection with these fundings resulted in a corresponding compensation expense of $1,680,519 based on a Black-Scholes valuation model.

TOT-SIBBNS general and administrative expenses were $864,134 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with $347,202 reported for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. We formed the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture on July 16, 2008 and therefore the 2008 period presented includes 165 days of expenses while the 2009 period has the full fiscal year (270 days) beginning April 1, 2009.  In addition, costs for the second quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $222,713 higher than the comparable quarter ended September 30, 2008 due to increased business activities and 15 less business days of expenses, which negatively impacted the year to date general and administrative expenses for the period ended December 31, 2009.

The following table summarizes general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Compensation expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was favorable as compared to the same period last year primarily due to the funding differences under the Subscription Agreement.  At December 31, 2009, funding under the Subscription Agreement totaled $323,730 as compared with $1,440,562 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008.

Investor relations expense increased year on year due to a non-cash charge of $64,285 relating to services expected from Olympus Securities.

Salaries and benefits were decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2008 due to headcount reductions and reductions in salaries of remaining staff.  This decrease was substantially offset by a non-cash charge of $75,889 relating to compensation expense in lieu of salary.  This amount represents the value of stock provided to employees to partially offset salary reductions.

Travel expenses decreased during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with December 31, 2008.  Travel has been reduced and Mike Zoi has not been charging the Company for some of his travel expenses.

Rent expense is decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2008.  This decrease is due to moving to less expensive office space.

Professional fees also decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2008.  Professional fees in 2008 included transaction costs for the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture that did not recur in 2009.  In addition, our accounting and legal fees have been reduced as we manage such costs more efficiently.

Liquidity and capital resources

At December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $22,887,627 and cash of $453,334. We are dependent upon receiving funds from our controlling stockholder, TGR Energy, LLC, which is controlled by our president, Mike Zoi. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR is obligated to invest up to $2,000,000 to fund short term working capital requirements in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.05. The shares and warrants will be issued quarterly and we will record an appropriate compensation expense as necessary based on the fair value of the securities on the last day of each fiscal quarter (the date of issuance). At December 31, 2009, the remaining investment obligation was $21,763.  On January 12, 2010, TGR agreed to increase its funding commitment under the Subscription Agreement from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 in exchange for up to an additional 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share for a period of five years from date of issuance.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, TGR was issued 16,186,515 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 8,093,757 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $323,730 provided during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $4,717,677 was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.

 Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 23, 2009, TGR agreed to sell to Dune Capital Group ("Dune") an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of TOT Energy, Inc. held by TGR for a purchase price of $0.10 per share or an aggregate of $500,000. The purchase price is required to be paid on or before April 1, 2010. Dune paid $300,000 on November 23, 2009. In order to ensure compliance with obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the issuance of shares to Dune by TGR, TGR assigned this Purchase Agreement to the Company. Accordingly, the Company received $300,000 pursuant to this agreement and issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Dune on January 12, 2010.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

At December 31, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” SFAS No. 168 sets forth the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. The Codification became effective on July 1, 2009 and is the official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), EITF, and related literature. After the Codification became effective on July 1, 2009, only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP exists, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and was first adopted by the Company for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, “Subsequent Events” (formerly SFAS No. 165), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption of this Statement did not result in a change in current practice.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (formerly SFAS 157) effective April 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (see “NOTE 10 — Fair Value Measurement”). The adoption of this statement on April 1, 2008, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure . In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of December 31, 2009, we continue to develop our core activities and focus our resources on the acquisition of assets in the energy sector. Our disclosure controls and procedures are currently inadequate because there are a limited number of personnel employed and we cannot have an adequate segregation of duties. Management works to mitigate this risk by being personally involved in all substantive transactions. We are in the process of reviewing and, where necessary, modifying controls and procedures throughout the Company as resources permit. We expect this process to continue through the fiscal year 2011.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings

We are not currently a party to any such proceedings the outcome of which would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, TGR was issued 6,713,215 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $134,264 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 23, 2009, TGR agreed to sell to Dune Capital Group ("Dune") an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of TOT Energy, Inc. held by TGR for a purchase price of $0.10 per share or an aggregate of $500,000. The purchase price is required to be paid on or before April 1, 2010. Dune paid $300,000 on November 23, 2009. In order to ensure compliance with obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the issuance of shares to Dune by TGR, TGR assigned this Purchase Agreement to the Company. Accordingly, the Company received $300,000 pursuant to this agreement and issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Dune on January 12, 2010.

We believe that each of the foregoing securities transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
