NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 
Note 1.  Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Trailblazer Resources, Inc., formerly Energy Composites Corporation (the “Company”), currently is a holding company with no ongoing business operations, but a public company shell that is seeking a business opportunity.
 
           The Company formerly engaged in the manufacture, sale, installation and service of fiberglass tank and piping products through ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC-C”), a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  On September 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company, acting on the recommendation of its disinterested directors, approved the sale of all of the stock of ECC-C to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities who were the majority shareholders of the Company at the time (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2011 (the “ECC-C Sale”).  On October 21, 2011, the Company completed the ECC-C Sale.  

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Trailblazer Resources, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements.
 
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 The results of operations of ECC-C for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, has been presented and classified as discontinued operations.

There were no new accounting standards issued or effective during the three months ended March 31, 2012 that had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Note 2.  Discontinued Operations

As described in Note 1, on September 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company approved and on October 21, 2011 the Company completed the ECC-C Sale.  
 
The Company has presented all results of operations of ECC-C for three month period ended March 31, 2011 as discontinued operations, and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been reclassified to reflect such segregation for all periods presented.  Prior to reclassification, the discontinued operations were reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ECC Corrosion, Inc. and Innovative Composite Solutions, LLC, after elimination of all intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits.

Note 3.  Going Concern Uncertainty
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,355,441, a net loss of $427,988 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and an accumulated deficit of $21,771,461.  
 
The Company has limited financial resources, has been unprofitable since its inception and currently has no source of revenue generating activities.  These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management plans to rely on advances from certain shareholders to fund its ongoing obligations, however, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate amount of funding.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Note 4.  Prepaid Consulting Agreement

On February 21, 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Advanced Equity Solutions, Inc. (“AES”), an entity owned by minority shareholders of the Company, to provide for strategic and financial advisory consulting services. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock as compensation for this agreement.  The shares were issued on April 5, 2012.

The shares were valued at $1,750,000 using the closing market price of our stock at February 21, 2012 of $0.35 per share. The transaction was recorded as Prepaid Consulting Expense, an asset; and as Accrued Consulting Fees Payable, a liability on the Company’s March 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet. The related expense is being amortized over the six month term of the agreement on a straight-line basis. $379,000 was recorded to expense under the agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The remaining unamortized balance at March 31, 2012 of $1,371,000 will be amortized over the remaining life of the agreement, which is the sooner of (a) the remainder of the original six month term, or (b) the occurrence of a merger or other reorganization pursuant to terms of the consulting agreement. In the event a merger transaction is consummated, the agreement will automatically continue for an additional 90 days with no additional consideration.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 5.  Convertible Notes Payable

In August 2008, the Company began a private placement offering of Units, each Unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture with a conversion price of $2.50 (the “Conversion Price”) per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends) (the “Debentures”), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture (the “Warrants”).  
 
Each Warrant was originally immediately exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share.  The Warrants also provide anti-dilution protection for the following events: reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; subdivision, combination or other dividend of the Company’s Common Stock.

The private placement was closed on December 14, 2008.  Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,370,000 were sold which included the issuance of 2,548,000 Warrants.  The Debentures are considered to be conventional convertible debt.

All outstanding convertible debentures at March 31, 2012 totaling $650,000 are past due and are currently due on demand. The effective annual interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 6%.  

The following table summarizes the convertible note balance as of March 31, 2012:
 
Balance at December 31, 2010
  $ 969,870  
         
Plus: accretion of original issue discount from warrants and beneficial conversion feature
    260,130  
         
Less: converstion of debt to common stock

Note 6.  Advances From Shareholders

Subsequent to the divestiture of the Company’s operating entity (ECC-C) on October 21, 2011, the Company no longer had a cash account. Going forward, the Company will have ongoing professional fees due in connection with its public company status and certain of these expenses have been paid by certain minority shareholders. As of March 31, 2012, $182,435 of the Company’s expenses have been paid on behalf of the Company by certain minority shareholders. These advances are currently non-interest bearing.

Note 7.  Stockholders’ Equity
 
Stock Issuances
 
In conjunction with the 2008 private placement of convertible debt, a total of 20,707 and 6,246 common shares were issued for the conversion of debt ($25,000 in 2012 and $-0- in 2011, respectively) at $2.50 per share and related interest payments during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
  
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued 20,000 restricted common shares to a former officer of the Company to satisfy $30,000 in consulting fees payable.    
 
Warrants
 
On December 15, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the extension of the expiration dates of the remaining Warrants to December 31, 2012 at a reduced exercise price of $1.50 per share in order to potentially raise capital in the future. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were 2,311,671 warrants outstanding which are exercisable at $1.50 per share until December 31, 2012.
 
Note 8.  Related Party Transactions

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with AES, an entity owned by minority shareholders of the Company, in exchange for strategic and financial advisory consulting services. Refer to Note 4 Prepaid Consulting Agreement for details of this agreement and related transaction.

A shareholder agreed to pay legal and accounting fees totaling $125,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Another shareholder agreed to pay legal and accounting fees on behalf of the Company totaling $1,485 during the three month period ended March 31, 2012. Both transactions were recorded as a reduction of previous accounts payable, and as non-interest bearing advances from shareholders. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $182,435 and $55,950 were due to minority shareholders, respectively.

Note 9.  Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were outstanding convertible debentures equivalent to 260,000 and 492,000 common shares, respectively. The convertible shares are anti-dilutive for both periods and therefore have been excluded from diluted earnings per share.
   
(2)    At March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were outstanding warrants equivalents of 2,311,671 common shares. The warrants are anti-dilutive for both periods and therefore, have been excluded from diluted earnings per share.
   
(3)   
At March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were outstanding options equivalent to -0- and 425,750 common shares, respectively. The options are anti-dilutive for both periods and therefore, have been excluded from diluted earnings per share.

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements.  Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.  We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as those for revenue recognition; however, these policies typically do not require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

We have identified the accounting policies that we consider critical in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our financial statements included in this report.  The accounting policies and estimates described in this report should be read in conjunction with Note 1 “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which includes a discussion of the policies identified in this report and other significant accounting policies.

Overview

Trailblazer Resources, Inc., formerly Energy Composites Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, currently has no business operations.

The Company had one operating subsidiary, ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC-C”), which was sold on October 21, 2011.  This was due to the continuing losses that the Company had incurred since the reverse acquisition in October 2008.  The Company sold all of the stock of ECC-C to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ECC-C Sale”).  These shares were then cancelled, reducing the number of shares issued and outstanding of the Company to 22,720,228 on that date.  In addition, we changed the name of the Company to “Trailblazer Resources, Inc.” effective October 17, 2011. The Company is currently seeking a private company as a possible reverse acquisition target. As of the date of this filing, no merger agreements are in place.

Results of Operations

We have presented all results of operations, assets and liabilities of ECC-C for all periods presented as discontinued operations, and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been reclassified to reflect such segregation for all periods presented.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

We do not generate any revenues, but incur general and administrative expenses related to our status as a publicly-held company, such as legal and accounting fees along with transfer agent fees.

Total general and administrative expenses were $417,965 and $629,291 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense of two different prepaid consulting agreements were $379,000 and $567,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, contributing $188,000 to the decrease in general and administrative expenses. Other primary expense categories were:  directors’ compensation of $0 and $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively; and legal and accounting fees of $41,234 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $13,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. While the Company is operating as a public shell, no director fees will be paid or accrued. Accounting fees increased in the quarter due to timing of the year-end audit.

Interest Expense
 
Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $10,023 and $112,767, respectively. Interest expense has decreased due to the debt conversions that have taken place during this past year, along with beneficial conversion features and warrant discounts becoming fully amortized prior to the current quarter. Non-cash amortization of debt discounts for warrants and beneficial conversion feature related to the convertible debt was $0 and $94,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
Income tax benefit

The Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets because the Company believes it is more likely than not, that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since 2009, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance and therefore, there is no tax provision recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Net loss from continuing operations

The Company’s net loss from continuing operations decreased to $427,988 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $742,058 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in our net loss for the 2012 three-month period was due to the aforementioned decreases in general and administrative expense and decrease in interest expense.

Discontinued operations

The operations of ECC-C are reflected as discontinued operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011. A detailed schedule of the net loss from discontinued operations is included in Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net loss

The Company’s loss decreased to $427,988 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1,284,132 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2012, the Company had no cash and a working capital deficiency of $1,355,441.

Operating Cash Flows

There were no operating cash transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Certain expenses were paid directly by minority shareholders. Non-cash items comprising our $427,988 net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of amortization of prepaid consulting fees of $379,000; stock issued for interest payments of $26,691; increase in accounts payable of $38,965; and an increase in accrued expenses of $10,023.  There was no cash provided by operating activities for the 2012 period, as compared to $5,337 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Investing Cash Flows

Investing activities used $0 and $67,447 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  There were no investing transactions during the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

Financing Cash Flows

Financing activities provided $0 and $72,968 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no cash financing activities during the period ended March 31, 2012. Non-cash financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of convertible debt converted to common stock of $25,000.  

Debenture Financing

From August 2008 to December 2008, we raised $6,370,000 by selling units, each unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture (the “Debentures”) with a conversion price of $2.50 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Debenture (the “Warrants”). The Debentures sold included the issuance of 2,548,000 Warrants. Each Warrant was originally exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share. The Warrant also provides anti-dilution protection for the following events: reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; subdivision, combination or dividend of our common stock.

At March 31, 2012, Debentures totaling $650,000 remain outstanding on the shell company's balance sheet and are currently due.  Many of the remaining Debenture holders have elected to receive interest in the form of stock, lowering our cash outlays for debt service on the Debentures. Since the Company does not have the capital resources at this time to repay these Debentures, we are working with the Debenture holders in an attempt to convert them to common stock, extend or otherwise renegotiate their terms.

Going Forward

The illiquidity suffered by ECC-C led to its sale to the Mancls in exchange for their shares in the Company.  This allows the Company to potentially acquire another business operation, which hopefully will have a greater potential for profitability.  The Company will still need to convert, extend or otherwise renegotiate the terms of the Debentures described above. The Company’s agreement with AES (described in Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) provides that AES will advance the funds necessary to pay the Company’s legal and accounting professionals and others to keep its public company status in good standing, as part of the services to be rendered, while the Company looks for a target business.  The Company will reimburse AES for any fees and

expenses advanced on its behalf when it has the funds available to do so.  The Company anticipates that any acquisition with a target company will be consummated primarily through the issuance of the Company’s shares of stock, as the Company does not have any cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
 
Item 4.      Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Interim Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.

As of March 31, 2012, our management, with the participation of our President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the President and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure because of the material weakness relating to internal controls that are described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed March 30, 2012.  

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of March 31, 2012, our President and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
