ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview
 
EFL Overseas, Inc. is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2008. We are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in the United States and Canada. We were originally organized to recruit amateur instructors to teach English in Japan and Brazil. We were unable, however, to identify a sufficient number of instructors to fulfill our business plan.

Prior to March 2011, we were relatively inactive. During March 2011, we initiated oil and gas operations by entry into a Farmout and Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dyami Energy LLC and Eagleford Energy Inc. (jointly the “Farmor”). The Agreement provided for our acquisition of a net working interest, ranging from 21.25% to 42.5%, in a 2,629 acre oil and gas lease known as the Matthews Lease, insofar as that lease covers from the surface to the base of the San Miguel formation (the “San Miguel Lease”). The San Miguel Lease is located in Zavala County, Texas, and has no current production.
 
 
2

 

We are also engaged in the pursuit of an acquisition of working interests in the Kotaneelee Gas Project (the “KGP”).
 
As of November 20, 2011, we did not have any proven reserves, and had not generated any revenue.
 
On April 20, 2010, a former officer and director sold 4,835,000 shares of common stock (on a pre-forward split basis) to us for $100. The shares were cancelled following their purchase.
 
On April 28, 2010, shareholders owning a majority of our outstanding shares approved a 20 for 1 forward split of our common stock. The stock split was based on market conditions and upon a determination by our Board of Directors that the stock split was in our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders. The amendment to our Articles of Incorporation pertaining to the forward stock split was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 3, 2010. The forward stock split became effective on the OTC Bulletin Board on June 30, 2010. Prior to the forward stock split, we had 330,000 shares of common stock outstanding.  Subsequent to the forward stock split we had 6,600,000 outstanding shares of common stock.
 
Oil and Gas Operations-Zavala County, Texas
 
Under our Agreement with Dyami Energy LLC and Eagleford Energy Inc. we may spend up to $1,050,000 on the exploration and development of oil and/or gas production from the San Miguel Lease. To earn our initial 21.25% working interest (net revenue interest 15.94%), we were obligated to drill and complete a vertical test well (the “Test Well”) in the San Miguel shale formation. We were also obligated to perform an injection operation on the Test Well. If the Test Well was prospective for production in commercial quantities, we were required to equip the Test Well and place it on production. If we determine that the Test Well is not prospective for production in commercial quantities, we will be responsible for the abandonment of the Test Well.

The working and revenue interests we acquired under the Agreement are also subject to payout provisions. Under those provisions, our net working interest and net revenue interest percentages may decrease by approximately one-fifth after the total net production revenues earned, net to our joint interests with the Farmor, total $12,500,000 to $15,000,000.
 
During April and May 2011, we drilled and completed the Test Well, performed injection operations and earned our initial interest in the San Miguel Lease. The Test Well encountered oil and was completed as a San Miguel producer. After completion, it was determined that the oil was subject to significant viscosity changes related to temperature reductions from formation to recovery at surface. The Test Well was stimulated with nitrified hydrochloric acid and placed on production. To date, however, the oil’s viscosity has prohibited economic operation and production from the Test Well has been suspended. We are continuing to investigate various methods to improve production from the Test Well. We have no current plans to expend the funds necessary to earn an additional interest in the San Miguel Lease.
 
Kotaneelee Gas Project
 
Beginning in early fiscal 2011, we began pursuit of an acquisition of up to a 65% working interest in the KGP. The KGP covers 30,188 gross acres in the Yukon Territory in Canada. On November 20, 2011 the KGP had; two (2) gas wells producing approximately 4.5 million cubic feet of gas per day (“MMCFD”), three (3) suspended gas wells, one (1) disposal well, and a gas processing facility with capacity of 70 MMCFD. The KGP has a fully developed gas sales and delivery infrastructure, airstrip, storage tanks, barge dock and permanent camp facilities.

We believe the KGP has significant conventional and shale gas potential and is supported by an environment of growing investment in gas exploration, processing and export in the Pacific Northwest.

Effective August 8, 2011, we terminated, and replaced an earlier non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Nahanni Energy (”Nahanni”) related to our acquisition of Nahanni’s 30.67% working interests in the KGP. Under the new non-binding Memorandum of Understanding, we will acquire Nahanni’s working interest in exchange for a combination of cash, restricted common stock, and the assumption of certain operating commitments and liabilities associated with the KGP. Completion of the transaction with Nahanni is contingent upon a number of conditions, including shareholder approval and the timely execution of definitive agreements.

On January 17, 2011 we also made a contingent offer to purchase an additional 22.989% working interest in the KGP in exchange for the assumption of certain operating commitments and liabilities associated with the KGP. Further pursuit of the transaction is dependent, among other things, upon the execution of a definitive agreement between the parties.  

During the remainder of fiscal 2012 we plan to identify, investigate and complete asset acquisition(s) and pursue joint venture agreements with third parties to explore for natural resources in Canada, the United States or other parts of the world.

Competition
 
The petroleum and natural gas industry is highly competitive. Numerous independent oil and gas companies, oil and gas syndicates and major oil and gas companies actively seek out and bid for oil and gas properties as well as for the services of third party providers, such as drilling companies, upon which we rely. From time to time, seismic vendors, drilling contractors, rigs and supplies may be in short supply. Their availability may be controlled by other larger explorers in the area. Native title holders or certain of our competitors may control pipeline capacity, roads, bridges and other infrastructure we require to access or fully exploit our properties. Our reliance upon their resources may create a competitive disadvantage for us. A substantial number of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do, and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.
 
Some of our competitors not only explore for, produce and market petroleum and natural gas, but also carry out refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis which may provide them with additional sources of capital. Larger and better capitalized competitors may be in a position to outbid us for particular prospect rights. These competitors may also be better able to withstand sustained periods of unsuccessful drilling. Larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.
 
Petroleum and natural gas producers also compete with other suppliers of energy and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual customers. Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation considered from time to time by the governments and/or their agencies and other factors which are out of our control including, international political conditions, terrorism, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.
 
Regulation
 
The exploration, production and sale of oil and gas are extensively regulated by governmental authorities. Applicable legislation is under constant review for amendment or expansion. These efforts frequently result in an increase in the regulatory burden on companies in our industry and consequently an increase in the cost of doing business and decrease in profitability. Numerous governmental departments and agencies are authorized to, and have, issued rules and regulations imposing additional burdens on the oil and gas industry that often are costly to comply with and carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. Production operations are affected by changing tax and other laws relating to the petroleum industry, constantly changing administrative regulations and possible interruptions or termination by government authorities.
 
Oil and gas mineral rights may be held by individuals, corporations or governments having jurisdiction over the area in which such mineral rights are located. As a general rule, parties holding such mineral rights grant licenses or leases to third parties to facilitate the exploration and development of these mineral rights. The terms of the leases and licenses are generally established to require timely development. Notwithstanding the ownership of mineral rights, the government of the jurisdiction in which mineral rights are located generally retains authority over the drilling and operation of oil and gas wells.
 
Environmental considerations
 
Our operations are also subject to a variety of constantly changing laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can result in the imposition of substantial fines and penalties as well as potential orders suspending or terminating our rights to operate. Some environmental laws to which we are subject provide for strict liability for pollution damage, rendering a company liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such company. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, such as oil and gas related products or for other reasons.
 
 
5

 
 
Some environmental protection laws and regulations may expose us to liability arising out of the conduct of operations or conditions caused by others, or for acts which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time the acts were performed. Changes in environmental laws and regulations, or claims for damages to persons, property, natural resources or the environment, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us. These laws and regulations may substantially increase the cost of exploring, developing, producing or processing oil and gas and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given project and thus generally could have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in the interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on us and the oil and gas industry in general.

Risks
 
Our failure to obtain capital may significantly restrict our proposed operations.
 
We need additional capital to fund operating losses, acquire assets and to explore for oil and gas. We do not know what the terms by which we may obtain any future capital, but any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership of existing stockholders and could be at prices substantially below the market price of our common stock. We may not be able to obtain the capital we need.
 
We have never earned a profit.
 
We expect to incur losses during the foreseeable future and we may never be profitable. To enable us to continue in business we will eventually need to earn a profit or obtain additional financing until we are able to earn a profit.
 
Our pursuit of natural resource properties may fail and/or exploration activities may not be commercially successful, which could lead us to abandon our plans to develop properties.

We may fail to acquire any natural resource properties. Regardless, our long-term success depends on our ability to establish commercially recoverable quantities of resources on our properties that can then be developed into commercially viable operations. Resource exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and is frequently non-productive. These risks include unusual or unexpected geologic formations, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor. The success of exploration is determined in part by the following factors:
 
 
a)
The identification of potential resources;
 
b)
availability of government-granted exploration permits;
 
c)
the quality of management and geological and technical expertise; and
 
d)
the capital available for exploration.
 
Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable resource reserves. Whether a resource will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors outside our control, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the resource formation, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; prices, which fluctuate widely; and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of resources and environmental protection. We may invest significant capital and resources in exploration activities and abandon such investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable reserves. Our inability to acquire or the decision to abandon a project may reduce the trading price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise future financing. We cannot provide any assurance to our shareholders that we will identify or acquire any resources in sufficient quantities on any properties to justify commercial operations. Further, we will not be able to recover the funds that we spend on exploration if we are not able to establish commercially recoverable quantities of resources on any property we may acquire.

Oil and gas exploration is not an exact science, and involves a high degree of risk.
 
Our primary exploration risk lies in the drilling of dry holes or drilling and completing wells which, though productive, do not produce gas and/or oil in sufficient amounts to return the amounts expended and produce a profit. Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formation pressures, downhole fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids and other conditions are involved in drilling and completing oil and gas wells and, if such hazards are encountered, completion of any well may be substantially delayed or prevented. In addition, adverse weather conditions can hinder or delay operations, as can shortages of equipment and materials or unavailability of drilling, completion, and/or work-over rigs. Even though a well is completed and is found to be productive, water and/or other substances may be encountered in the well, which may impair or prevent production or marketing of oil or gas from the well. Exploratory drilling involves substantially greater economic risks than development drilling because the percentage of wells completed as producing wells is usually less than in development drilling. Exploratory drilling itself can be of varying degrees of risk and can generally be divided into higher risk attempts to discover a reservoir in a completely unproven area or relatively lower risk efforts in areas not too distant from existing reservoirs. While exploration adjacent to or near existing reservoirs may be more likely to result in the discovery of oil and gas than in completely unproven areas, exploratory efforts are nevertheless high risk activities.
 
Although the completion of oil and gas wells is, to a certain extent, less risky than drilling for oil and gas, the process of completing an oil or gas well is nevertheless associated with considerable risk. In addition, even if a well is completed as a producer, the well for a variety of reasons may not produce sufficient oil or gas in order to repay our investment in the well.
  
Other
 
We currently have no full-time employees. We use consultants and contractors to provide us with, among other things, executive management and accounting services, and technical engineering support.
 
Other than engineering, geochemical, geophysical and exploration programs capitalized in connection with our oil and gas concessions, we have devoted no substantial efforts to research and development within the last two fiscal years.
 
Our offices are located at 333 North Sam Houston Parkway East, Suite 410, Houston, Texas 77060. Our offices are provided at will, and at no cost, by Holloman Corporation, our largest shareholder.

There is currently only a limited market for our common stock. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue or that the stock price will be maintained.
 
As of November 20, 2011, we had 7,196,870 outstanding shares of common stock and 47 shareholders of record.
 
On June 30, 2010, a 20 for 1 forward stock split, approved by our shareholders on April 28, 2010, became effective.
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is not restricted from paying any dividends but is not obligated to declare a dividend. We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain earnings to finance the expansion of our operations.

During the year ended August 31, 2011 we did not purchase any shares of our common stock from third parties in a private transaction or the open market. During the year ended August 31, 2011 none of our officers or directors, nor any of our principal shareholders, purchased any shares of our common stock on our behalf from third parties in a private transaction or as a result of purchases in the open market.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
 
We are an exploration stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2008. Prior to initiating oil and gas operations in March 2011, we were relatively inactive. We were originally organized to recruit amateur instructors to teach English in Japan and Brazil, but were unable to identify a sufficient number of instructors to fulfill our business plan.

We initiated oil and gas operations by entry into a Farmout and Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dyami Energy LLC and Eagleford Energy Inc. (jointly the “Farmor”). The Agreement provided for our acquisition of a net working interest ranging from 21.25% to 42.5%, in a 2,629 acre oil and gas lease known as the Matthews Lease, insofar as that lease covers from the surface to the base of the San Miguel formation (the “San Miguel Lease”). The San Miguel Lease is located in Zavala County, Texas, and has no current production.

We are also engaged in the pursuit of an acquisition of working interests in the Kotaneelee Gas Project (the “KGP”).
 
As of November 20, 2011, we did not have any proven reserves, and we had not generated any revenue.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Oil and Gas Operations - Zavala County, Texas

Under our Agreement with Dyami Energy LLC and Eagleford Energy Inc. we may spend up to $1,050,000 on the exploration and development of oil and/or gas production from the San Miguel Lease. To earn our initial 21.25% working interest (net revenue interest 15.94%), we were obligated to drill and complete a vertical Test Well  in the San Miguel shale formation. We were also obligated to perform an injection operation on the Test Well. If the Test Well was prospective for production in commercial quantities, we were required to equip the Test Well and place it on production. If we determine that the Test Well is not prospective for production in commercial quantities, we will be responsible for the abandonment of the Test Well.

During April and May 2011, we drilled and completed the Test Well, performed injection operations and earned our initial interest in the San Miguel Lease. The Test Well was drilled into the San Miguel heavy oil zone to a depth of 3,168 feet. The well encountered oil and was completed as a San Miguel producer. After completion, it was determined that the oil was subject to significant viscosity changes related to temperature reductions from formation to recovery at surface. The Test Well was stimulated with nitrified hydrochloric acid and placed on production. To date, however, oil viscosity has prohibited economic operation. We continue to investigate various methods to improve production from the Test Well. We have no current plans to expend the funds necessary to earn an additional interest in the San Miguel Lease.
 
As a result of the application of a full cost pool "ceiling test", we determined that the carrying value of the San Miguel Lease was impaired to the extent of its carrying value. Accordingly, during August 2011, we recognized a loss on the impairment of oil and gas assets of $835,659. Oil and gas properties as of August 31, 2011, were likewise reduced by the same amount to reflect the impairment of the lease. We cannot estimate what cost, if any, will be associated with future exploration or production efforts on the San Miguel Lease.
 
Kotaneelee Gas Project

Beginning in early fiscal 2011, we began pursuit of an acquisition of up to a 65% working interest in the KGP. The KGP covers 30,188 gross acres in the Yukon Territory in Canada. At November 20, 2011 the KGP had; two (2) gas wells producing approximately 4.5 MMCFD, three (3) suspended gas wells, one (1) disposal well, and a gas processing facility with capacity of 70 MMCFD. The KGP has a fully developed gas sales and delivery infrastructure, airstrip, storage tanks, barge dock and permanent camp facilities. We believe the KGP has significant conventional and shale gas potential and is supported by an environment of growing investment in gas exploration, processing and export in the Pacific Northwest.

We estimate consulting, travel and legal expense incurred during the year ended August 31, 2011 in connection with our pursuit of the acquisition of the KGP totaled approximately $355,000.

Other

At August 31, 2010, we were relatively inactive. Our assets and liabilities totaled $4,758 and $69,343, respectively, and our accumulated deficit was $83,772. The $69,850 in expenses incurred during fiscal 2010 related entirely to costs required to support strategic planning and regulatory compliance.  As such, a comparative analysis of current and prior year results is not meaningful.

During fiscal 2011, we raised $1,709,401 through debt and equity financings and invested approximately $1,191,000 in the exploration of the San Miguel Lease and our pursuit of the acquisition of the KGP. Our residual general and administrative expense for the year ended August 31, 2011 (approximately $356,000) resulted from an expansion of our executive team and professional resources, and the enhancement of our accounting and administrative infrastructure.

At August 31, 2011, our current assets ($512,328) exceeded current liabilities ($452,201) by $60,127. All of our oil and gas assets were written-off in connection with the impairment of the San Miguel Lease. Our current liabilities include accounts payable of $299,701 and non-interest bearing demand notes totaling $72,500 incurred in the normal course of business, and an $80,000 asset retirement obligation related to the San Miguel Test Well.
 
As of August 31, 2011, we had not generated any revenues.

We expect our expenses will continue to increase as we expand operations. We are actively seeking additional capital to fund those expenditures.  

During the remainder of fiscal 2012 we plan to identify, investigate and complete asset acquisition(s) and pursue joint venture agreements with third parties to explore for natural resources in Canada, the United States or other parts of the world.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and tends to reflect general economic conditions. The pattern of historic price fluctuations in oil and gas has resulted in additional uncertainty in capital markets. Our access to capital, as well as that of our partners and contractors, has been limited due to tightened credit markets. These limitations may inhibit the size and timing of formation of exploration ventures.

We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells or improving the production of existing wells. We will, however, need to raise the funds we require through the sale of our securities, from loans from third parties or by joint venturing operations with third parties which will pay a portion of the costs required to explore for oil and gas in the area covered by our leases.
 
Any wells which we may drill may not produce oil or gas in commercial quantities. We plan to report losses from our operations until such time, if ever, we begin to generate significant revenue from oil and gas sales.
 
Other than the obligations associated with our oil and gas leases, our material future contractual obligations as of August 31, 2011 are shown below.

During December 2010, we sold 86,870 investment units at a price of $2.30 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $3.50 per share until December 29, 2012. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $191,100 (net of $8,700 in fees) of which $166,100 was paid in cash and $25,000 was a repayment of a loan.
 
During April 2011, we sold 390,000 investment units at a price of $3.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $4.50 per share until April 1, 2013. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $1,170,000, all of which was paid in cash. We paid $46,800 in finder's fees in connection with the sale of the units.
 
During May 2011, we sold 120,000 investment units. The investment units were priced at $3.00 each and consisted of one share of our common stock and one stock purchase warrant. Each stock purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $4.50 per share until April 15, 2013. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $360,000, all of which was paid in cash. We paid $2,400 in finder’s fees in connection with the sale of the units. Our Chief Executive Officer acquired 50,000 investment units in this private placement.

The trends and factors that will most significantly affect our results of operations include; (i) our ability to satisfy our capital requirements, (ii) our ability to effectively acquire oil and gas properties, (iii) our exploration success and the marketability of future production, if any, (iv) increasing competition from larger companies, and (vi) future fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas. Our revenues will also be significantly impacted by our ability to maintain or increase oil and gas production through exploration and development activities.
 
During the year ended August 31, 2011, we borrowed $134,500, and repaid $82,000 in notes payable to unrelated parties. During October 2010, notes payable to our largest shareholder increased by $10,000 and during December 2010, we issued common stock and stock purchase warrants as repayment of $25,000 in notes payable to that shareholder.

In connection with the Agreement with Dyami Energy LLC and Eagleford Energy Inc., we obtained $400,000 in temporary financing from our largest shareholder. This financing was subject to a non-interest bearing demand note payable. The entire $400,000 note balance was repaid from proceeds of a private placement of investment units during April 2011.

We may acquire an interest in the KGP. If we proceed with the transaction, we will have significant capital commitments which we will need to fund.  During the twelve month period ending October 31, 2012, early estimates indicate that investment in the KGP, including cash, the absorption of liabilities, and year one exploration costs may range from $30,600,000 to $36,600,000. We are attempting to raise the capital needed to implement our business plan.
 
We believe our plan of operations, exclusive of costs associated with additional acquired assets, will require from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 in financing over the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2012.
 
If we are unable to raise the financing we need, our business plan may fail and our stockholders could lose their investment. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital we require, or that if the capital is offered, it will be subject to terms we consider acceptable. Investors should be aware that even if we are able to raise the funds we require, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in our acquisition, exploration or production plans and we may never be profitable.
 
As of November 20, 2011 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Measurement Uncertainty
 
The process of preparing financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. Our estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates with regard to the financial statements included with this report relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, determination of fair values of stock based transactions, and deferred income tax rates and timing of the reversal of income tax differences.
 
These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.
 
Petroleum and Natural Gas Properties
 
We utilize the full cost method to account for our investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. When we commence production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test" (based on the average of the first-day-of-the-month prices during the twelve-month period prior to August 31, 2011 pursuant to the SEC’s “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” rule), which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized. If net capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense in the current period. At August 31, 2011, all of our oil and gas interests were impaired and expensed.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
We record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur  an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and demand notes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $487,017 and $4,758 at August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
12

 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We record compensation expense for stock based payments using the fair value method. The fair value of stock based compensation to directors and employees is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees is measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Share-based compensation is expensed with a corresponding increase to share capital. Upon the exercise of the stock options, the consideration paid is recorded as an increase in share capital.
  
Income Taxes
 
We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax bases. In addition, the future benefits of income tax assets, including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or realized.
 
Earnings per share
 
We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS figures are equal to those of basic EPS for each period since we have no dilutive stock options and warrants.
 
As of August 31, 2011, we had 596,870 shares of our common stock available through the exercise of non-dilutive stock warrants having a weighted average remaining life and exercise price of 18.66 months and $4.35, respectively. At November 20, 2011, 86,870 shares of our common stock were available at an exercise price of $3.50 which was equivalent to the closing market price of our shares on that date.

ITEM  9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON  ACCOUNTING  AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On September 26, 2011, we dismissed De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm and engaged Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. as our independent registered public accounting firm. See our Form 8-K filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2011.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K.  Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of August 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404.A. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
  (1) 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets;
 
  (2) 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and
 
  (3)
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that during the period covered by this report our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
During fiscal 2011, we; a) established an audit committee to our board of directors, b) performed a top-down assessment of our business risk environment, b) indentified key financial controls, c) strengthened our control environment with the goal of establishing and implementing the controls deemed necessary to mitigate any control weaknesses identified, d) documented procedures, internal controls and the linkage of those controls to identified risks, and e) implemented a testing program to be used in testing the effectiveness of identified controls.  Other than the foregoing, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended August 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During fiscal 2011, we accrued compensation payable to a company controlled by Mr. Macdonald of $113,548. This compensation is payable in equal parts cash ($56,774) and shares of our restricted common stock (“Stock”). Compensation payable in Stock is convertible at the closing price of the Stock on the last trading-day of the applicable monthly earning period. For the period ended August 31, 2011, $56,774 in compensation was payable to Mr. Macdonald in Stock at a weighted average conversion price of $3.95 per share (14,362 shares). The amount and form of the compensation was established and approved by our Board of Directors. During October 2011, we paid Mr. Macdonald $10,000 in cash fees. As of November 20, 2011, Mr. Macdonald has voluntarily deferred payment of all residual fees under this arrangement.
 
(2)
During fiscal 2011, we paid Mr. Wesolek financial consulting fees totaling $108,675. Mr. Wesolek is compensated in the form of fees for services rendered in the normal course of operations. The amount of the fees were established and approved by our Board of Directors.
 

Effective January 20, 2011, Mr. Wesolek, a company controlled by Mr. Macdonald, and an unrelated consultant (the “Finders”) entered into an agreement with us providing for the payment of finder’s compensation ranging from 5% (on transaction values greater than $1,000,000) to 10% (on transactions values up to $300,000) on transactions introduced to us by or through the Finders for a period of two years (the “Finder’s Fee Agreement”). Under the Finder’s Fee Agreement, compensation is divided equally between the Finders and the Finders may elect whether the finder’s compensation is payable in cash, or shares of our restricted common stock. If the Finders elect to receive payment in stock, the shares into which finder’s compensation will be converted will be calculated using the average closing price of our common stock for the last ten trading days preceding the closing date of the transaction to which the compensation relates. The Finder’s Fee Agreement specifically recognizes that the KGP has been presented to us by the Finder’s. If our acquisition of KGP succeeds, we anticipate finder’s compensation of up to approximately $1,000,000 will be payable to the Finders. To date, no finder’s compensation has been paid under the Finder’s Fee Agreement.

Mr. Macdonald provides services to us under the terms of Consulting Services Agreement with Bamako Investment Management Ltd. (“Bamako”), an entity over which Mr. Macdonald exercises control.  This agreement was made effective March 11, 2011 for a twelve month term and may be cancelled by either party, with or without cause, following 30 days notice. Under this agreement, Bamako is compensated $20,000 per month for up to 50% of Mr. Macdonald’s time as our chief executive officer, or in such roles as may be approved, from time to time, by our Board of Directors. Compensation is payable in equal parts cash and shares of our restricted common stock. Compensation payable in stock is convertible at the closing price of the stock on the last trading-day of the applicable monthly earning period.
 
Director Compensation
 
Our directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attendance at Board of Director and committee meetings. Directors have not been compensated for their service as directors.

Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Option Grants
 
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, $56,774 in compensation payable due to Mr. Macdonald was payable in 14,362 shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $3.95 per share.

We have no additional securities authorized for issuance under any stock option, stock bonus or other equity compensation plans.
 
We have never had any annuity, pension or retirement benefits for our officers, directors or employees.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

As detailed more fully in our financial statements and Items 1, 7 and 11 of this report, from time to time, we have had non-interest bearing advances from certain of our directors and shareholders; and non-employee related contract compensation arrangements with our directors and officers. During the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 those advances and arrangements included a temporary loan from our largest shareholder Holloman Value Holdings, LLC in the amount of $400,000 (April 2011) provided to us in connection with the San Miguel Farmout and Participation Agreement. The loan did not bear interest and was repaid by the Company during May 2011. In addition, during July and October 2010, we borrowed a total of $25,000 from our Holloman Corporation under the terms of two non-interest bearing, unsecured demand notes payable. During December 2010, we converted the $25,000 payable under those notes into shares of our common stock and stock purchase warrants.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
 
On September 26, 2011, we dismissed De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC (“DeJoya Griffith”) as our independent registered public accounting firm and engaged Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. (“Weaver”) as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of EFL Overseas, Inc.
 
(An Exploration Stage Company)
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of EFL Overseas, Inc. (an Exploration Stage Company) (the Company) as of August 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and for the period from inception (July 22, 2008) to August 31, 2011. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EFL Overseas, Inc. (an Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, and for period from inception (July 22, 2008) to August 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that EFL Overseas, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, EFL Overseas, Inc. has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. EFL Overseas, Inc. requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about EFL Overseas, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders
EFL Overseas, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of EFL Overseas, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended.  EFL Overseas, Inc. management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EFL Overseas, Inc. as of August 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage. It has not generated operating revenues, and has accumulated losses of $1,630,960 since inception. The Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to raise additional funds through third-party equity or debt financings and the joint venturing of its exploration efforts with third parties. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue its operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon its ability to raise capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generate profitable operations.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with US GAAP, and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company has not produced revenues from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by “Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities.”

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, determination of fair values of stock based transactions, and deferred income tax rates.

Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. When the Company commences production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.
 
 
F-7

 
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test" (based on the average of the first-day-of-the-month prices during the twelve-month period prior to August 31, 2011 pursuant to the SEC’s “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” rule), which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized . If net capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense in the current period. At August 31, 2011, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were impaired and expensed to the extent of their carrying value.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life.

Environmental

Oil and gas activities are subject to extensive federal, state and provincial environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
 
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when an environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company records compensation expense in the financial statements for stock-based payments using the fair value method. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees are measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Stock-based compensation is expensed with a corresponding increase to share capital.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
 
 
F-8

 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and demand notes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $487,017 and $4,758 at August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits held by financial institutions and notes payable. The Company places cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions in the United States. At times, cash balances held in financial institutions may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company believes the financial institutions are financially strong and the risk of loss is minimal. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to the related risks and does not believe its exposure to such risks is more than normal.

All operations and efforts of the Company are focused in the oil and gas industry and are subject to the related risk of the industry.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, it evaluates whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the financial statements. The application of this method did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Earnings Per Share
 
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As of August 31, 2011, the Company had 596,870 shares of its common stock available through the exercise of non-dilutive stock warrants ( Note 7).
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. It does not expect the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events
 
The Company performs an evaluation of events which occur after the date of its financial statements, but prior to their issuance, which may require disclosure as a subsequent event. The Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events which required disclosure in these audited financial statements.

3.  OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
San Miguel Oil Project
 
On March 31, 2011, the Company initiated oil and gas operations by entry into a Farmout and Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) which provided for its acquisition of a net working interest ranging from 21.25% to 42.5%, in a 2,629 acre oil and gas lease known as the Matthews Lease, insofar as that lease covers from the surface to the base of the San Miguel formation (the “Lease”). The Lease is located in Zavala County, Texas, is unproven and has no current production. As such, the costs capitalized in connection with that property are not currently subject to depletion.

The costs incurred on the Lease are summarized as follows:

San Miguel Oil Project - Unproven

  $ ––  
Expenditures on oil and gas properties
    724,500

Asset retirement obligations
    80,000  
Oil and gas property impairment
    (835,659 )
Balance, August 31, 2011
  $ ––  

Under the Agreement, the Company may spend up to $1,050,000 on the exploration and development of oil and/or gas production from the San Miguel formation on the lands covered by the Lease. To earn its initial 21.25% working interest (net revenue interest 15.94%), the Company was obligated to drill and complete a vertical test well (the “Test Well”) in the San Miguel shale formation. It was also obligated to perform an injection operation on the Test Well. If the Test Well is prospective for production in commercial quantities, the Company is required to equip the Test Well and place it on production. If the Company determines the Test Well is not prospective for production in commercial quantities, it will be responsible for the abandonment of the Test Well.
 
The working and revenue interests acquired by the Company under the Agreement are also subject to payout provisions. Under those provisions, the Company’s net working interest and net revenue interest percentages may decrease by approximately one-fifth after the total net production revenues earned, to its joint interests with its farmout partner, reach certain threshold amounts.

During April and May 2011, the Company drilled and completed the Test Well, performed injection operations and earned its initial interest in the Lease. The Test Well was drilled into the San Miguel heavy oil zone to a depth of 3,168 feet. The well encountered oil and was completed as a San Miguel producer. After completion, it was determined that the oil was subject to significant viscosity changes related to temperature reductions from formation to recovery at surface. The Test Well was stimulated with nitrified hydrochloric acid and placed on production. To date, however, oil viscosity has prohibited economic operation. As a result of the application of a full cost pool "ceiling test", the Company determined that the carrying value of the Lease was impaired to the extent of the carrying value of that property. Accordingly, during August 2011, the Company recognized a loss on the impairment of oil and gas assets of $835,659. Oil and gas properties as of August 31, 2011, were likewise reduced by the same amount to reflect the impairment of the Lease.
 
The Company continues to investigate various methods to improve production from the Test Well.

4.  ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

The Company has asset retirement obligations associated with the future plugging and abandonment of the San Miguel Test Well. Under the provisions of ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.  If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

At August 31, 2011, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were impaired and expensed to the extent of their carrying value and the full amount of its asset retirement obligation has been classified as a current liability. The Company has no assets that are legally restricted for purposes of settling asset retirement obligations.  The following table summarizes the Company’s asset retirement obligation transactions recorded in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 410 during the year ended August 31, 2011:

6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
In connection with the San Miguel Agreement, the Company obtained $400,000 in temporary financing from its largest shareholder. This financing was subject to a non-interest bearing demand note payable. The entire $400,000 note balance was repaid by the Company during May 2011. In addition, during July and October 2010, the Company borrowed a total of $25,000 from its largest shareholder under the terms of two non-interest bearing, unsecured demand notes payable. During December 2010, the Company converted the $25,000 payable to its largest shareholder under those notes into shares of its common stock and stock purchase warrants.
