AMERICAN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT CORP.
(Formerly LJM Energy Corp.)
 (An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.           NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations
 
American Energy Development Corp. (the "Company") is currently an exploration stage company under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 915, Development Stage Entities, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. Since inception, the Company has produced almost no revenues and will continue to report as an exploration stage company until significant revenues are produced.
 
The Company’s principal activity is the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
 
On July 12, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name from “LJM Energy Corp.” to “American Energy Development Corp.” (the “Name Change”).  The effective date of the Name Change with the Nevada Secretary of State is July 14, 2011.  
 
Exploration Stage
 
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of producing oil and gas properties.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company owns acreage in the State of Michigan which includes a 43.75% working interest in three separate oil and gas leases in Ingham County, Michigan (the “Dansville Prospect”) totaling approximately 1,298 acres along with option rights to acquire a 50% working interest in three (3) prospects located in Trenton Township, Washtenaw County, Trenton Township, Jackson County, and Kinneville Township, Ingham County, Michigan (the “Option Prospects”), and seismic data for certain properties located in Ingham and Calhoun Counties, Michigan for further exploration and analysis.  The Company also owns a 1.4% working interest in certain oil and gas leases in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma (the “Magnolia Prospect”).
 
The Company’s success will depend in large part on its ability to obtain and develop oil and gas interests within the United States. There can be no assurance that oil and gas properties obtained by the Company will contain reserves or that properties with reserves will be profitable to extract. The Company will be subject to local and national laws and regulations which could impact the Company’s ability to execute its business plan.
 
As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
 
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.           NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet under ASC 825, Financial Instruments.  The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments.
 
Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all direct costs and certain indirect costs associated with acquisition of properties and successful as well as unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized crude oil and natural gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves.

The cost of investments in unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from capitalized costs to be amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such a determination is made, the properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.  The costs of drilling exploratory dry holes are included in the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is dry.
 
For each cost center, capitalized costs are subject to an annual ceiling test, in which the costs shall not exceed the cost center ceiling.  The cost center ceiling is equal to i) the present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions;  plus ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties.  If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.

1.           NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Asset Retirement Obligation
 
The Company accounts for its future asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of the liability, if any, during the period in which it was incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an asset retirement cost is included in proved oil and gas properties within the Company’s balance sheets. The Company depletes the amount added to proved oil and gas property costs using the units-of-production method and the straight-line basis over the life of the assets.
 
The Company’s asset retirement obligation consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment and site restoration on its oil and gas properties and gathering assets. The asset retirement liability, if any, will be allocated to operating expense using a systematic and rational method.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Working interest, royalty and net profit interests are to be recognized as revenue when oil and gas are sold.  The Company records the sale of its interests in prospects generally as a reduction to the cost pool without gain or loss recognition unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to a cost center.  A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a single full cost pool.  All terms of the sale are to be finalized and price readily determinable.
 
Value of Stock Issued for Services

The Company periodically issues shares of its common stock in exchange for, or in settlement of, services.  The Company’s management values the shares issued in such transactions at either the then market price of the Company’s common stock after taking into consideration factors such as volume of shares issued or trading restrictions, or the value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
There are no recently issued accounting standards with pending adoptions that the Company’s management currently anticipates will have any material impact upon its financial statements.

2.           GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net operating loss of ($375,294) from inception (March 10, 2010) through December 31, 2011. The Company is subject to those risks associated with exploration stage companies. The Company’s present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. Additional debt and equity financing will be required by the Company to fund its development activities and to support operations.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing.  Furthermore, the Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
 
Management is currently devoting substantially all of its efforts to develop its existing oil and gas properties.  The Company also continues to search for additional productive properties.  There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful, or that those efforts will translate in a beneficial manner to the Company. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “shall,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “probable,” “possible,” “should,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
 
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2011.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, together with notes thereto, as previously filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report.  

Overview.  American Energy Development Corp. (“AEDC,” “We,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010 as “LJM Energy Corp.” On July 12, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name from “LJM Energy Corp.” to “American Energy Development Corp.” (the “Name Change”). The effective date of the Name Change with the Nevada Secretary of State was July 14, 2011.

On July 12, 2011, we filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to effectuate a thirty for one forward stock split of our common stock (the “Forward Stock Split”). The Certificate of Change increased the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 and the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock for shareholders of record as of July 13, 2011, from 5,705,570 shares to 171,167,100 shares.  The effective date of the Forward Stock Split with the Nevada Secretary of State was July 14, 2011.

Our Business. We are an exploration stage company focused on exploration, production and development of oil and natural gas. Our business plan is to acquire oil and gas properties for exploration, appraisal and development with the intent to bring the projects to feasibility at which time we will either contract out the operations or joint venture the project with qualified interested parties. Our main priority will be given to projects with near term cash flow potential, although consideration will be given to projects that may not be as advanced from a technical standpoint but demonstrate the potential for significant upside.

We currently own interests in certain oil and gas drilling areas and land leases located in Ingham County, Michigan, known as the Dansville Prospect, and seismic data relating to such areas and leases. One of the wells in the Dansville Prospect has been drilled and was recently put into production. We also own a working interest in a three well developmental drilling project in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, known as the Magnolia Prospect. Two of the wells in Magnolia Prospect have been drilled and were recently put into production.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations.
 
Revenues. We had revenues of $2,276 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to no revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  We anticipate we will begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales from our interest in the Dansville Prospect.

To implement our business plan during the next twelve months, we need to begin generating more significant and consistent revenues from the Dansville Prospect and the Magnolia Prospect. Our failure to do so will hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations. If we are not able to generate revenues to cover our operating costs, we may not be able to expand our operations.
 
Operating Expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our total operating expenses were $120,444, as compared to total operating expenses of $20,991 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our operating expenses were solely comprised of general and administrative expenses.  The overall increase of $99,453 in total operating expenses from the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the integration and further development of our Michigan oil and gas operations, the expansion of our personnel and the costs associated with us being a public company.

We expect that our future monthly operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 will increase from our current expense levels, plus we expect to incur additional direct costs relating to drilling the Dansville Prospect in Michigan. We will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses, but we also expect to begin generating revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect and the Magnolia Prospect.
 
Net Loss. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, our net loss was $121,339, as compared to our net loss of $21,747 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Our net loss was comprised of interest expense of $1,193 and operating expenses of $120,444.  We expect to begin generating revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect and the Magnolia Prospect which we hope will cover our operating costs and reduce our net losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate revenues or, if that we do generate revenues, that such revenues will cover our operating costs and reduce our net loss in future periods.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations.
 
Revenues. We had revenues of $2,276 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to no revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010.  We anticipate we will begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales from our interest in the Dansville Prospect.
 
Operating Expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, our total operating expenses were $238,416, as compared to total operating expenses of $43,138 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Our operating expenses were solely comprised of general and administrative.  The overall increase of $195,278 in total operating expenses from the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the integration and further development of our Michigan oil and gas operations, the expansion of our personnel and the costs associated with us being a public company.

We expect that our future monthly operating expenses for fiscal year 2012 will increase from our current expense levels, plus we expect to incur additional direct costs relating to drilling the Dansville Prospect in Michigan. We will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses, but we also expect to begin generating revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect and the Magnolia Prospect.
 
Net Loss. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, our net loss was $240,067, as compared to our net loss of $44,650 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.  Our net loss was comprised of interest expense of $1,949 and operating expenses of $238,416.  We expect to begin generating more significant revenues from oil and gas sales at the Dansville Prospect and the Magnolia Prospect which we hope will cover our operating costs and reduce our net losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate revenues or, if that we do generate revenues, that such revenues will cover our operating costs and reduce our net loss in future periods.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources. We have cash of $13,242 as of December 31, 2011. Our total assets of $1,852,676 as of December 31, 2011, consist of cash of $13,242 and oil and gas property of $1,839,434, which includes our interests in the Dansville Prospect and the Magnolia Prospect.

As of December 31, 2011, we had total liabilities of $453,212, of which $299,762 was represented by accounts payable and accrued expenses and $153,450 was represented by loans from Joel Felix, our Chief Financial Officer and director.  Of these loans, $30,000 is due upon demand together with interest that accrues at the rate of 10% per annum, $109,962 is due upon demand together with interest that accrues at the rate of 5% per annum, and $13,488 is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. The loan funds were used for working capital purposes and to fund the acquisition of the Magnolia Prospect in 2010. We had no other long-term liabilities, commitments or contingencies.
 
On October 3, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Financing Agreement”) with an investor pursuant to which we may issue and sell to the investor, and the investor shall purchase up to $7,800,000 of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase common stock from time to time over a two year period at a purchase price of the higher of (i) $0.40 per share, and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock.  We received an initial drawdown of $200,000 on October 3, 2011, and we issued 500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of 120% of the purchase price, or $0.48 per share.  The warrants expire five years from the date of the investment. In connection with the Financing Agreement, on October 3, 2011, we entered into a Stock Cancellation Agreement with Joel Felix, pursuant to which Mr. Felix agreed to cancel 85,000,000 shares of common stock held by him as consideration for the investor’s willingness to enter into and as a condition of the Financing Agreement. On October 12, 2011, we issued an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock to the investor in exchange for a second drawdown of $200,000.

On October 17, 2011 we entered into a Stock Cancellation Agreement with an investor, pursuant to which the investor agreed to cancel 150,000 shares of our common stock.

On November 23, 2011 we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to various unrelated investors in exchange for a total of $50,000, or $0.50 per share.
 
During 2012, we expect to incur significant accounting costs associated with the audit and review of our financial statements. We expect that the legal and accounting costs of being a public company will be significant and will continue to impact our liquidity. Those fees will be higher as our business volume and activity increases. We expect to make future payments to Range Michigan LLC of our proportional share of the drilling and completion costs in the Dansville Prospect, which will continue to affect our liquidity. For the Magnolia Prospect, we have paid the total drilling and completion costs and are not obligated to make any future payments of our proportional share of drilling and completion costs in the project. However, if the actual costs exceed the initial authority for expenditure, then we will be obligated to pay our proportional share of the overrun. We may also incur additional expenses related to the acquisition of additional oil and gas rights. Other than the anticipated increases in legal and accounting costs due to the reporting requirements of being a reporting company, and future payments related to certain of our oil and gas projects and costs related to potential acquisitions of oil and gas rights, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.
  
We have cash of $13,242 as of December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements to operate at our current level of activity for the next twelve months.  We will need additional cash to expand our operations, including the development of the Dansville Prospect and other properties. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. 
 
We expect to continue to drawdown funds from the Financing Agreement as needed. In addition, we have been, and intend to continue, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing.  Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
We are not currently conducting any research and development activities. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. We do not currently own any equipment. Our management believes that we do not require the services of independent contractors to operate at our current level of activity.  However, if our level of operations increases beyond the level that our current staff can provide, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
 
Not applicable.
 
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
  
Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
