FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Written forward–looking statements may appear in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, documents incorporated by reference, reports to stockholders and other communications.

 

Forward–looking statements appear in a number of places in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and include but are not limited to management’s comments regarding business strategy, workover activities at our oil and gas properties, meeting our capital raising targets and following any use of proceeds plans, our ability to and methods by which we may raise additional capital, production and future operating results.

 

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the use of words such as “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “likely,” “may,” “project,” “should,” “believe” and similar expressions are intended to identify uncertainties.  While we believe that the expectations reflected in those forward–looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward–looking statements.  The differences between actual results and those predicted by the forward-looking statements could be material.  Forward-looking statements are based upon our expectations relating to, among other things:

 

	£	oil and natural gas prices and demand;
	£	our future financial position, including cash flow, debt levels and anticipated liquidity;
	£	the timing, effects and success of our acquisitions, dispositions and workover activities;
	£	uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production;
	£	timing, amount and marketability of production;
	£	our ability to find, acquire, market, develop and produce new properties;
	£	effectiveness of management strategies and decisions;
	£	the strength and financial resources of our competitors;
	£	climatic conditions;
	£	the receipt of governmental permits and other approvals relating to our operations;
	£	unanticipated recovery or production problems; and
	£	uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids.

 

Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict.  These factors do not represent a complete list of the factors that may affect us.  We do not undertake to update our forward–looking statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

 

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

 

Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Native American Energy Group, Inc., formerly Flight Management International, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on November 1, 1996.  The Company leases and, using enhanced oil recovery capabilities, revitalizes abandoned oil fields which were previously developed and capped.  The oil and natural gas fields are owned by individual land owners and located on Native and non-Native American lands in the state of Montana and Alaska.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including our wholly owned subsidiary, NAEG Alaska Corporation (“NAEG Alaska”), a Delaware corporation incorporated in 2005 that was formerly known as Fowler Oil & Gas Corporation; and its wholly owned subsidiary, NAEG CBM Operations LLC (“NAEG Operations”), an Alaskan limited liability company formed in August 2006 that was formerly known as Fowler Oil & Gas Alaska, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

To implement its current business plan, significant additional financing will be required and the Company will need to be successful in its efforts to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable.

 

The Company is in the development stage as defined by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 915-10 Development Stage Entities (“ASC 915-10”) with its efforts principally devoted to developing oil and gas reserves.  To date, the Company, has not generated sales revenues, has incurred expenses, and has sustained losses.  Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.  For the period from inception through June 30, 2012, the Company has accumulated losses of $29,462,081.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2012.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation of assets is provided by use of a straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Undeveloped Oil and Gas Properties

 

Acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas activities are capitalized when costs are recoverable and directly result in an identifiable future benefit, following the full cost method of accounting.  Improvements that increase capacity or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized.  Maintenance and turnaround costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Undeveloped oil and gas properties are assessed, at minimum annually or as economic events dictate, for potential impairment.  Impairment is assessed by comparing the estimated net undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset.  If required, the impairment recorded is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

 

Capitalized costs are depleted and depreciated on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves once determined by the independent petroleum engineers.  Depletion and depreciation is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future costs to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage value.

 

Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from the depletion and depreciation calculation if and until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties.  Costs of unproved properties and major development projects are transferred to depletable costs based on the percentage of reserves assigned to each project over the expected total reserves when the project was initiated.  These costs are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.

 

Depletion and Amortization of Oil and Gas Properties

 

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of properties within a relatively large geopolitical cost center are capitalized when incurred and are amortized as mineral reserves in the cost center are produced, subject to a limitation that the capitalized costs not exceed the value of those reserves.  All costs incurred in oil and gas producing activities are regarded as integral to the acquisition, discovery, and development of whatever reserves ultimately result from the efforts as a whole, and are thus associated with the Company’s reserves.  The Company capitalizes internal costs directly identified with performing or managing acquisition, exploration, and development activities.  Unevaluated costs are excluded from the full cost pool and are periodically evaluated for impairment rather than amortized.  Upon evaluation, costs associated with productive properties are transferred to the full cost pool and amortized.  Gains or losses on the sale of oil and natural gas properties are generally included in the full cost pool unless the entire pool is sold.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

 

Capitalized costs and estimated future development costs are amortized on a unit-of-production method based on proved reserves associated with the applicable cost center.  The Company has assesses for impairment for oil and natural gas properties for the full cost pool quarterly using a ceiling test to determine if impairment is necessary.  Specifically, the net unamortized costs for each full cost pool, less related deferred income taxes, should not exceed the following: (a) the present value, discounted at 10%, of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, plus (b) all costs being excluded from the amortization base, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, less (d) the income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved.  The present value of future net revenues should be based on current prices, with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements, as of the latest balance sheet presented.  The full cost ceiling test must take into account the prices of qualifying cash flow hedges in calculating the current price of the quantities of the future production of oil and gas reserves covered by the hedges as of the balance sheet date.  In addition, the use of the hedge-adjusted price should be consistently applied in all reporting periods and the effects of using cash flow hedges in calculating the ceiling test, the portion of future oil and gas production being hedged, and the dollar amount that would have been charged to income had the effects of the cash flow hedges not been considered in calculating the ceiling limitation should be disclosed.  Any excess is charged to expense during the period that the excess occurs.  The Company did not have any hedging activities during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Application of the ceiling test is required for quarterly reporting purposes, and any write-downs cannot be reinstated even if the cost ceiling subsequently increases by year-end.  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 income.

 

Abandonment of properties is accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company management performed an evaluation of its unproved properties for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at the end of each respective year. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its unproved properties exceeded its fair value for the years ended December 31, 2011.  As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $690,552, net of tax, or $0.02 per share during the year ended December 31, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the unproved properties to $-0-. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

 

Intangible assets

 

The Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill and other intangible assets under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 305-10, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 305-10”). In accordance with ASC 305-10, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired. Any write-downs will be included in results from operations.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company accounts for reclamation costs under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 410-20, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, Asset Retirement Obligations (“ASC 410-20”).  ASC 410-20 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  Specifically, the statement requires that retirement obligations be recognized when they are incurred and displayed as liabilities with the initial measurement being at the present value of estimated third party costs.  In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying value and subsequently allocated to expense over the assets’ useful lives.  There are no changes in the carrying amounts of the asset retirement obligations as no expenses have yet been incurred.

JUNE 30, 2012

 

The Company is obligated to maintain a surety bond in conjunction with certain acquired leases.  Our obligation for site reclamation does not become a liability until production begins.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from the sale of petroleum and natural gas are recorded when title passes from the Company to its petroleum or natural gas purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Other Income

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we received proceeds from the sale of oil from one well on our sites in the amount of $11,572, which is included as Other Income on the Statement of Operations.

 

Stock-Based Payments

 

The Company follows the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in ASC 718-10.  The Company implemented AC 718-10 on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.

 

As of June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding employee stock options.

 

Fair Values

 

The Company follows the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”).  ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure.  ASC 820-10 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for ASC 820-10 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operations.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses were $-0- for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and from January 18, 2005 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of stock compensation accounting versus tax differences.

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information.  Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The Company’s common stock equivalents, represented by convertible preferred stock and warrants, were not considered, as including such would be anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants

 

The Company has five full-time employees who are executive officers and no part-time employees.  The Company’s officers do not receive any payroll and their assistance is now being provided on an expense reimbursement basis.  This situation will remain constant until such time as the Company has sufficient capital to afford to pay salaries.  Additionally, there are outside consultants performing various specialized services.  The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive officers, employees and key consultants.  The loss of any of the senior management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business of the Company until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s cash is exposed to a concentration of credit risk.  Effective December 31, 2010 and extending through December 31, 2012, all non-interest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), regardless of the balance of the account.  Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits.  The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS

 

The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,187,288 and $1,480,242 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company has incurred significant losses and had an accumulated deficit of $29,462,081 at June 30, 2012.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be generated during the next 12 months or thereafter from the Company’s current operations, or those funds will be available from external sources, such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources.  The lack of additional capital could force the Company to curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

D’Arrigo and Nanvaan to NAEG Founders Holding Corporation by way of a board resolution, NAEG Founders Holding Corporation held a total 5% Overriding Royalty Interest in the future oil & gas production from leasehold interests. As background, Messrs. D’Arrigo and Nanvaan had each been granted their respective 3% Overriding Royalty Interest in our future oil & gas production in exchange for the assignment of their respective interests in a drilling project associated with another company called Rockwell Petroleum. The project was called the Jones Draw Field. Such rights were acquired by them before our organization while working with other oil & gas companies as tribal liaisons. To date, Messrs. D’Arrigo and Nanvaan have not received any compensation or dividend distributions from NAEG Founders Holdings Corporation because such company has not had any commercial production to date.

 

In connection with the execution of a capital lease obligation in March of 2006 regarding our workover rig, Messrs. D’Arrigo and Nanvaan and their respective relatives provided real estate collateral pledges and personal guarantees to the financial institution in exchange for an obligation fee of $325,000, of which $75,000 was payable to Joseph D’Arrigo, $150,000 was payable to Raj Nanvaan and the balance payable to the parents of Raj Nanvaan.  The guarantee fees were being amortized ratably over the term of such lease, which was due to expire in 2014. On March 24, 2010, the capital lease obligation was converted to equity. As part of this conversion and settlement, the lien placed on Mr. Nanvaan’s home was lifted by the finance company.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto that are included elsewhere in this report.

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking.  Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky.  These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Commission.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them.  Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.  You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our,” mean Native American Energy Group, Inc. unless otherwise indicated.

 

General Information

 

Our business address is 108-18 Queens Blvd, Forest Hills, New York 11375.  Our Internet website address is www.nativeamericanenergy.com.  Any information accessible through our website is not a part of this Quarterly Report.

 

Overview

 

We are an energy resource development and management company.  We have three principal projects: (i) development of oil and gas interests in the Williston Basin; (ii) development of coal-bed methane natural gas (CBM) in the Cook Inlet Basin in Alaska; and (iii) planned implementation of vertical-axis wind turbine power generation technology for the production of clean, cost-efficient green energy throughout the United States, including Alaska and all U.S. Indian reservations.

 

Since 2005, we have primarily been involved in the acquisition and management of Native American land and fee land acreage in Montana and Alaska and the exploration for, and development of, proven oil and natural gas properties which our management believes have potential for improved production rates and resulting income by application of both conventional and non-conventional resource recovery improvement and enhancement techniques, including horizontal drilling and high-pressure lateral jetting.

 

Due to our limited financial and organizational resources, however, we have amended our Technology License & Distribution Agreement (the “TLDA”) with Windaus Energy, Inc. (“Windaus”) and are currently focusing on completing the   work-overs and enhanced oil recovery operations on five wells in the Williston Basin in Montana.

 

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011:

 

Revenues

 

We did not generated any revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling, General, and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,077,729 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $300,753 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease of $776,976, or 72%, is primarily attributable to an decrease in equity-based compensation issued to consultants and service providers.

 

Impairment of undeveloped properties

 

Impairment of undeveloped properties decreased to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $24,121 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  This decrease is attributed to our current progress with our unevaluated and undeveloped properties not requiring impairment.

 

Litigation Settlement

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred litigation cost as described in our accompanying financial statements. As such, we incurred a $100,313 charge in the three months ended June 30, 2011 comprised of accrual of expected costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 with the final settlement in the previous quarter, we did not have any incurred costs.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from $31,084 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $38,450 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase of $7,366 is attributable to additional equipment added in the latter part of 2011.

 

Total Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses decreased to $339,203 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $1,233,247 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease of $894,044 is primarily attributable to the decrease in equity- based compensation issued to consultants and services providers.

 

Gain on settlement of debt

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we amended our previously acquired and expensed licensing agreement, reducing our remaining debt obligation from $469,500 to $69,500 realizing a gain from debt cancellation. In addition, we settled accounts payable, debt and related accrued interest by issuance of our common stock, realizing a gain of $253,220 compared to a gain realized of $4,794 in the same three month period last year.

 

Other Income

 

Other income decreased to $6,016 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $21,818 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Income of $11,572 and $21,818 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was from the sale of oil collected as a byproduct of well testing.

 

 

Interest Expenses, net

 

Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2012, increased by $37,643 to $58,526 from $20,883 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The primary reason for the increase in interest expense was due to increased debt as compared to prior year.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased to a net income of $261,595 from a net loss of $1,227,432 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase of $1,489,027 is primarily attributable to the factors described above.

 

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011:

 

Revenues

 

We did not generate any revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling, General, and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,380,333 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $734,576 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease of $645,757, or 47%, is primarily attributable to a decrease in equity-based compensation issued to consultants and service providers.

 

Impairment of undeveloped properties

 

Impairment of undeveloped properties decreased to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $28,773 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  This decrease is attributed to our current progress with our unevaluated and undeveloped properties not requiring impairment.

 

Litigation Settlement

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we concluded litigation as described in our accompanying financial statements. As such, we incurred a $1,757,182 non-cash charge in the six months ended June 30, 2012 comprised of additional shares of our common stock and an obligation to issue warrants based on certain conditions occurring. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred costs of $100,313.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from $61,919 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $78,240 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase of $16,321 is attributable to additional equipment added in the latter part of 2011.

 

Total Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses increased to $2,569,998 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $1,471,025 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase of $1,993,017 is primarily attributable to the settlement of litigation as described above and the increase in equity-based compensation issued to consultants and services providers.

 

 

Gain on settlement of debt

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we amended our previously acquired and expensed licensing agreement, reducing our remaining debt obligation from $469,500 to $69,500 realizing a gain from debt cancellation. In addition, we settled accounts payable, debt and related accrued interest by issuance of our common stock, realizing a gain of $253,220 compared to a gain realized of $4,794 in the same six month period last year of $4,794 gain realized.

 

Other Income

 

Other income decreased to $17,588 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $21,818 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Income of $11,572 and $21,818 was from the sale of oil collected as a byproduct of well testing for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Interest Expenses, net

 

Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2012, increased by $252,293 to $288,293 from $35,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The primary reason for the increase in interest expense was due to issuing common shares and warrants in connection with our bridge financing charged to period interest of $185,306.

 

Net (Loss)

 

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased to $2,187,288 from a net loss of $1,480,242 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase of $707,046 is primarily attributable to the factors described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have generated minimal revenues between June 30, 2012 and the date of this report.  We have continued to incur expenses and have limited sources of liquidity.  Our limited financial resources have had an adverse impact on our liquidity, activities, and operations.  These limitations have also adversely affected our ability to obtain certain projects and pursue additional business ventures.  We may have to borrow money from stockholders or issue debt or equity securities in order to fund expenditures for exploration and development and general administration or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.  There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

 

As of June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $4,154,274.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we generated a net cash flow deficit from operating activities of $329,185, consisting primarily of year-to-date losses of $2,187,288.  Non-cash adjustments included $78,240 in depreciation and amortization charges, as well as common stock and warrants issued in connection with debt of $185,306, common stock and a warrant issuance obligation in connection with the settlement of ligation of $1,757,182 and $139,923 for equity-based compensation, offset gains on settlement of debt of $663,220.  Additionally, we had a net decrease in current assets of $14,631 and a net increase in current liabilities of $346,041.  Cash used in investing activity was $-0-.  Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $312,417, consisting of proceeds from the sale of our common stock and proceeds from loans and notes payable, net with repayments on notes and loans payable.

 

Our liquidity needs consist of our working capital requirements, indebtedness payments, and property development expenditures.  Historically, we have financed our operations through the sale of equity and debt securities exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as well as borrowings from various credit sources; and we have adjusted our operations and development to our level of capitalization.

 

We expect that potential financing sources will primarily be obtained through the private placement of our securities, including, without limitation, the issuance of notes payable and other debt, the terms, and conditions of which will depend upon the transaction size, market conditions and other factors.

 

 

Going Concern and Recent Events

 

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required within the next three months in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development.  Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report dated April 16, 2012 that we have incurred operating losses in the last year, and that we are dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and raise additional capital.  These factors, among others, may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We also are unable to determine whether we will generate sufficient cash flow from our future oil and gas operations to fund our future operations.  Although we expect cash flow from future operations to rise as we are able to improve our operations, and that the number of projects we successfully develop will grow, we will continue to focus, in the near term, on raising additional capital, likely through the private placement of our equity securities or other debt securities.

 

We need to raise capital to fund the development of future wells.  There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all.  To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity-related securities, the issuance of such securities would result in dilution of the existing stockholders’ shares.  If adequate funds are not available within the next 12 months, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly, or to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets that we would not otherwise relinquish.

 

Our long term viability depends on our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of our business operations, and to ultimately achieve enough profits and cash flow from operations to sustain our business.

 

Impact of Default

 

As we disclosed in our financial statements, certain notes, loan payables and operating lease obligations are currently in default.

 

Notes and loans payable are being resolved through debt-to-equity conversion agreements.  We plan to resolve our operating lease obligations through revenues from the future commencement of production or proceeds of additional equity or debt financing.

 

Default on lease obligations could result in the impairment of our ability to conduct executive and administrative functions, which would be the case if we lost our executive office space in New York.  Further, the loss of any of our oil and gas leases would likely result in the curtailment of our potential oil and gas production revenues.

 

Material Commitments

 

Due to amending our technology license agreement with Windaus Energy, Inc. (“Windaus”) on April 25, 2012, pursuant to which we reduced the licensed territory and relinquished our manufacturing rights, the license fee under the Agreement was adjusted as follows: (i) decrease the amount of shares from 2,000,000 shares to 100,000 shares (95% less), with Windaus returning 2,000,000 shares to NAGP in exchange for NAGP issuing 100,000 shares to Windaus Global Energy, Inc.; and (ii) decrease the cash portion of the fee $500,000 to $100,000, of which $30,500 had already been paid as of the date of the Second Amendment leaving a balance of $69,500 owed to Windaus.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.  Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

The accounting policies identified as critical are as follows:

 

Stock-Based Payments

 

We follow ASC 718-10, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in ASC 718-10.  We implemented AC 718-10 on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.

 

As of June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding employee stock options.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from the sale of petroleum and natural gas are recorded when title passes from us to our petroleum or natural gas purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation of assets is provided by use of a straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Undeveloped Oil and Gas Properties

 

Acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas activities are capitalized when costs are recoverable and directly result in an identifiable future benefit, following the full cost method of accounting.  Improvements that increase capacity or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized.  Maintenance and turnaround costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Undeveloped oil and gas properties are assessed, at minimum annually or as economic events dictate, for potential impairment.  Impairment is assessed by comparing the estimated net undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset.  If required, the impairment recorded is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

 

Capitalized costs are depleted and depreciated on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves once determined by the independent petroleum engineers.  Depletion and depreciation is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future costs to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage value.

 

 

Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from the depletion and depreciation calculation if and until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties.  Costs of unproved properties and major development projects are transferred to depletable costs based on the percentage of reserves assigned to each project over the expected total reserves when the project was initiated.  These costs are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.

 

Depletion and Amortization of Oil and Gas Properties

 

We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of properties within a relatively large geopolitical cost center are capitalized when incurred and are amortized as mineral reserves in the cost center are produced, subject to a limitation that the capitalized costs not exceed the value of those reserves.  All costs incurred in oil and gas producing activities are regarded as integral to the acquisition, discovery, and development of whatever reserves ultimately result from the efforts as a whole, and are thus associated with our reserves.  We capitalize internal costs directly identified with performing or managing acquisition, exploration, and development activities.  Unevaluated costs are excluded from the full cost pool and are periodically evaluated for impairment rather than amortized.  Upon evaluation, costs associated with productive properties are transferred to the full cost pool and amortized.  Gains or losses on the sale of oil and natural gas properties are generally included in the full cost pool unless the entire pool is sold.

 

Capitalized costs and estimated future development costs are amortized on a unit-of-production method based on proved reserves associated with the applicable cost center.  We assess for impairment for oil and natural gas properties for the full cost pool quarterly using a ceiling test to determine if impairment is necessary.  Specifically, the net unamortized costs for each full cost pool, less related deferred income taxes, should not exceed the following: (a) the present value, discounted at 10%, of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, plus (b) all costs being excluded from the amortization base, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, less (d) the income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved.  The present value of future net revenues should be based on current prices, with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements, as of the latest balance sheet presented.  The full cost ceiling test must take into account the prices of qualifying cash flow hedges in calculating the current price of the quantities of the future production of oil and gas reserves covered by the hedges as of the balance sheet date.  In addition, the use of the hedge-adjusted price should be consistently applied in all reporting periods and the effects of using cash flow hedges in calculating the ceiling test, the portion of future oil and gas production being hedged, and the dollar amount that would have been charged to income had the effects of the cash flow hedges not been considered in calculating the ceiling limitation should be disclosed.  Any excess is charged to expense during the period that the excess occurs.  We did not have any hedging activities during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Application of the ceiling test is required for quarterly reporting purposes, and any write-downs cannot be reinstated even if the cost ceiling subsequently increases by year-end.  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 income.

 

Abandonment of properties is accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company management performed an evaluation of its unproved properties for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at the end of each respective year. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its unproved properties exceeded its fair value for the years ended December 31, 2011.  As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $690,552, net of tax, or $0.02 per share, during the year ended December 31, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the unproved properties to $-0-. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

 

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

We account for reclamation costs under the provisions of ASC 410-20, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  Specifically, the statement requires that retirement obligations be recognized when they are incurred and displayed as liabilities with the initial measurement being at the present value of estimated third party costs.  In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying value and subsequently allocated to expense over the assets’ useful lives.  There are no changes in the carrying amounts of the asset retirement obligations as no expenses have yet been incurred.

 

We are obligated to maintain a surety bond in conjunction with certain acquired leases.  Our obligation for site reclamation does not become a liability until production begins.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries, and are not expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012.  Based on this evaluation, and because of our limited resources and limited number of employees, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2012 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

b) Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Our internal control system is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

 

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of our inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012.  As a result of its assessment, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on the weakness described below, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2012.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  As a result of our assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012:

 

¨

While there were internal controls and procedures in place that relate to financial reporting and the prevention and detection of material misstatements, these controls did not meet the required documentation and effectiveness requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”), and therefore, management could not certify that these controls were correctly implemented.  As a result, it was management’s opinion that the lack of documentation warranted a material weakness in the financial reporting process.

 

¨

Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the 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 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions. Inadequate controls include the lack of procedures used for identifying, determining, and calculating required disclosures and other supplementary information requirements.

 

¨

There is lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by our Chief Financial Officer who also serves as our Chief Operations Officer.  This weakness is due to our lack of working capital to hire additional staff during the period covered by this report.  We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.

 

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

 

 c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

On January 27, 2012, we (i) agreed to issue to the Plaintiffs the Settlement Shares; and (ii) further agreed that within 30 calendar days of the removal of the DTC Global Lock, we will issue each Plaintiff an individual two-year warrant for the purchase of a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the number of Settlement Shares received by that individual Plaintiff, with an exercise price of $0.70 per share, in exchange for the dismissal of the litigation described under “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 13 – Commitments and Obligation—Litigation.”

ITEM 3 – DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 
As of August 14, 2012, we were in default with respect to secured debt totaling an aggregate of $1,797,158 along with other loans payable totaling an aggregate of $143,069. The secured debt includes three secured loans made to the Company by High Capital Funding LLC (“Lender or Plaintiff”) from August 2011 to December 2011 during our field operations related to our five-well Workover and Enhanced Oil Recovery Program in Montana (“Bridge Loans and Secured Loans”). On May 25, 2012, Lender filed a Complaint for Foreclosure against the Company alleging that the Company is in default for nonpayment of monies owed under the Bridge Loans and Secured Loans.

 

On August 13, 2012, the Company filed its “Answer and Counterclaim” in which the Company asserted various defenses to Plaintiff’s claims for relief as well as counterclaims against the Plaintiff for; Breach of Contract, Unjust Enrichment, Breach of Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Promissory Estoppel, Negligent Misrepresentation and Constructive Fraud.

 

 

While the Company intends to vigorously defend against all allegations including the default allegation related to such loans, including pursuing its own claims against the Plaintiff, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in this matter and in such event, be able to cure or be given the opportunity to cure the default. Failure to do so may result in the Company having to foreclose on any collateral securing the debt such as the leases in Montana which could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

 

ITEM 4 – MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Not applicable.

  

ITEM 5 – OTHER INFORMATION

 

On May 25, 2012, High Capital Funding LLC (“High Capital or Plaintiff”), filed a Complaint for Foreclosure in the Fifteenth Judicial District Court of the State of Montana, Roosevelt County, against the Company alleging that the Company is in default for nonpayment of monies owed under various loans made to the Company from the period beginning July 25, 2012 to December 12, 2012 (“the Loans”) during the Company’s field operations in Montana related to its five-well Workover and Enhanced Oil Recovery Program. In the Complaint, Plaintiff sought a judgment against the Company for the unpaid principal and interest owed under such loans.

 

On August 13, 2012, the Company filed its “Answer and Counterclaim” in which the Company asserted various defenses to Plaintiff’s claims for relief as well as counterclaims against the Plaintiff for; Breach of Contract, Unjust Enrichment, Breach of Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Promissory Estoppel, Negligent Misrepresentation, and Constructive Fraud. In its Answer and Counterclaim, the Company is ultimately seeking damages to be proven at trial which include, but are not limited to: lost revenue from oil production continuing to accrue since September 2011 as a result of Plaintiff’s negligent and untimely remittance of loan proceeds as agreed to by both parties; recovery of various shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and five-year exercise warrants for the purchase of the Company’s restricted common stock; and specific performance by the Plaintiff of its obligations under the Loans. On the same date, the Company also filed an “Application for Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order” (the “Application”). In its Application, the Company is seeking relief including, but not limited to, an injunction preventing Plaintiff from transferring common shares or exercising warrants issued as partial consideration for such loans agreements.
