AMERICAS ENERGY COMPANY-AECo
(Previously known as Trend Technology Corporation)
(An exploration stage company)
Notes to the financial statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2009



 

1. Nature of Operations

Americas Energy Company-AECo (previously known as Trend Technology Corporation) (the “Company”) was formed on February 16, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company changed its name to Americas Energy Company-AECo in anticipation of the acquisition of Americas Energy Company, a Nevada corporation.  The acquisition became effective on January 21, 2010 (See Note 12 - Subsequent Events).

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions from Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all information and notes normally provided in the audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited interim balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows reflected all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, at December 31, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, and for the period from March 1, 2003 (Date of Commencement) to December 31, 2009.

3. Going Concern Matters

In view of certain conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue as a going concern. Management plans to continue to seek other sources of debt and equity financing on favorable terms and expects to keep its operating costs to a minimum until cash is available through financing or operating activities. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. The Company has not generated cash from operations yet and has an accumulated deficit of $259,979 at December 31, 2009. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncement recently adopted:

(i) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 740-10, “Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The adoption of the  ASC Topic 740-10 did not have an impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

(ii) Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies

On May 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 805 “Business Combination” which addresses application issues on initial and subsequent recognition and measurement arising from contingencies in a business combination.  The effect of the adoption of ASC Topic 805 on the Company’s financial statements is dependent on future business combinations.

(iii) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

On September 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05 which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value and confirmed practices that have evolved when measuring fair value such as the use of quoted prices for a liability when traded as an asset. While reaffirming the existing definition of fair value, the ASU reintroduces the concept of entry value into the determination of fair value. Entry value is the amount an entity would receive to enter into an identical liability. Under the new guidance, the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Continued

(iv) Fair value of financial instruments

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

· 
Level one – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

· 
Level two – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

· 
Level three – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

The adoption of ASC Topic 820 has no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and note payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company has no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the period ended December 31, 2009.

New Accounting Pronouncements

(i) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 810 on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

5. Earnings per share

Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the financial statements.  Diluted earnings or loss per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value, when applicable. There are no outstanding stock options or warrants at December 31, 2009.

6. Mineral Properties and Exploration

Having completed preliminary exploration on the Copper Prince and Dalvenie Properties without significantly encouraging results, the Company has let its claims lapse.

7. Loans payable

At March 31, 2009, the Company received operating loans of CAD$5,000 ($3,968) and CAD$10,000 ($7,935) from a shareholder and a third party company respectively.  Both loans bore annual interest at 5% and were due on demand. On May 11, 2009, both loans and the accrued interest due were forgiven for no consideration paid by the Company.  As a result, $12,194 has been recognized as “Other income” in these financial statements.

8. Long-term debt

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Explanatory Note: On January 21, 2010 we completed a Merger with Americas Energy Company, a Nevada corporation(“Americas Energy Company(Private)”); as the result of the Merger and the change in the business and operations, a discussion of the past financial results of Americas Energy Company-AECo (formerly Trend Technology, Inc.) is not pertinent as the financial results of Americas Energy Company (Private), the accounting acquirer, will be considered the financial results of the Company on a going-forward basis. We have incorporated by reference our Current Report on Form 8K filed January 27, 2010 which contain audited financial statements for Americas Energy Company (Private) to November 30, 2009and have included in this Quarterly Report on form 10Q updated proforma statements to December 31, 2009.

The following Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described below.  Americas Energy Company's (previously known as Trend Technology Corporation) (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto and the Plan of Operation included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Our unaudited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The reported financial results and disclosures were determined using the significant accounting policies, practices and estimates described below.

Coal Properties – Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire mineral properties are capitalized when incurred. Mine development costs are recorded at cost as incurred. The Company’s coal reserves are controlled either through direct ownership or through leasing arrangements, which generally last until the recoverable reserves are depleted. Depletion of reserves and amortization of mine development costs is computed using the units-of-production method over the estimated proven and probable recoverable tons.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying values are reduced to the estimated fair value.


 
12

 


Americas Energy Company – AECo


Oil and Gas Property – The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas property, which is located in Cumberland County, Kentucky. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. All capitalized costs, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects will not be amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. Potential impairment of unproved properties and other oil and gas property and equipment are assessed periodically.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues include sales to customers of Company-produced coal and oil.  The Company recognizes revenue when title or risk of loss passes to the common carrier or customer.

Asset Retirement Obligations –The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and similar state statutes require mine properties to be restored in accordance with specified standards. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410-20, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS No. 143”) requires recognition of an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) for eventual reclamation of disturbed acreage remaining after mining has been completed. The Company records its reclamation obligations on a permit-by-permit basis using requirements as determined by the Office of Surface Mining of the U.S. Department of the Interior (“OSM”). The liability is calculated based upon the reclamation activities remaining after coal removal ceases, assuming that reclamation activities have been contemporaneous within state and federal guidelines during mining. A liability is recorded for the estimated future cost that a third party would incur to perform the required reclamation and mine closure discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free rate. A corresponding increase in the asset carrying value of mineral rights is also recorded. The ARO asset is amortized on the units-of-production method over the proven and probable reserves associated with that permit. These expenses are included in depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion in the operating expenses section of the statement of operations.

Long-Lived Assets – The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10, Formerly SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  ASC Topic 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not deem any of its long-term assets to be impaired.

Share-Based Compensation – The Company measures and records compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to consultants, employees and directors based on estimated fair values.  Additionally, compensation costs for share-based awards are recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value.

Financial Instruments – Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and advances payable. Recorded values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short maturities of such instruments.  Recorded values for notes payable and related liabilities approximate fair values, since their stated or imputed interest rates are commensurate with prevailing market rates for similar obligations.

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 at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates of coal, oil and gas reserves, asset retirement obligations, and impairment on unproved properties are inherently imprecise and may change materially in the near term.

On January 22, 2010, the Company accepted the resignation of Leonard MacMillian as President, Chairman and CEO and appointed Chris Headrick as President, Chairman and CEO. Mr. Headrick was the President and CEO of Americas Energy Company, a Nevada Corporation “Americas Energy Company (Private)”

Financing Activities
On July 2, 2009 and August 25, 2009 respectively, the Company signed two promissory notes at $200,000 US and $400,000 US.  The notes are at 5% interest per annum and are due on July 2, 2012 and August 25, 2012 respectively although both may be repaid at anytime without penalty.

On October 6, 2009, an additional loan of $250,000 was received from the same third party as the Company’s previous loans. The loan is secured by all of the assets of the company, bears interest at 5% per annum and is due in full with all accrued interest on October 6, 2012.

On November 13, 2009, an additional loan of $500,000 was received from the same third party as the Company’s previous loans. The loan is secured by all of the assets of the company, bears interest at 5% per annum and is due in full with all accrued interest on August 25, 2012.

Americas Energy Company – AECo


On February 6, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Evans Coal Corp., a Kentucky corporation "Evans." The purchase price is $400,000 [which had already been advanced by Americas Energy Company (Private) prior to January 21, 2010]; $2,600,000 paid upon execution of the agreement; $4,000,000 due at the closing on the 5th day of March 2010 and $25,000,000 to be paid at the rate of $5.00 per short ton of coal mined, sold and shipped from the leaseholds of Evans. Minimum payments of at least $500,000 per quarter shall be made commencing March 31, 2011. The $25,000,000 is to be secured by a promissory note and the note Matures on March 5, 2025. The note contains two contingencies related to future permits to mine on two defined leaseholds. If permits are not obtained on the “Artemus” project by December 31, 2010 then the principal of the note shall be reduced by $10,000,000.

As of the date of this report we have paid a total of $3,000,000 of the purchase price and intend to pay the agreed $4,000,000 upon securing additional financing by the closing date of March 5, 2010.
 
 
Critical components of our operating plan impacting our continued existence are the net revenue to be generated from the production and sale of coal and oil and the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing. Over the next twelve months we believe that our existing capital, funds from the merger with funds from the production and sale of coal and oil will be sufficient to sustain operations.

 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

(a)           Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, being December 31, 2009, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company's disclosure controls and procedures.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and chief executive officer.  Based upon that evaluation, our president and chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009 because we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.  There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Despite the fact that all financial transactions are personally reviewed by our C.F.O., there were not enough independent employees or members of management to provide third party oversight and review of our C.F.O.’s activities.  Subsequent to the end of the period covered by this report we completed the pending merger management anticipated would result in the number of financial transactions on a monthly and annual basis increasing significantly.  The number of individuals available to provide management oversight and reviews has also increased accordingly. As expected improvements in our internal control over financial reporting began immediately upon completion of the merger.  The completion of the merger was January 21, 2010.

Our company currently maintains a board of directors consisting of only one member.  This small board of directors is inadequate for providing independent oversight of our management team.  We are presently evaluating prospects for additional members to join the Board of Directors. This is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

(b)           Changes in Internal Controls

As discussed, we have completed a merger which has resulted in increased operational and financial activity. As a result we have additional cash resources providing staff and access to professional services. We have engaged additional professional services and are in the process of reviewing our current internal controls.

 There were no other changes in the Company’s internal controls or other factors that could affect the Company’s internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
