A Note About Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on management’s current expectations. These statements may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expect,” “aim,” “believe,” “projects,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “could” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about our business strategy, expenditures, and financial results, are forward-looking statements. We believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are accurate. However, we cannot assure you that such expectations will occur.
Actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements due to a number of uncertainties including, but not limited to, those discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Factors that could cause future results to differ from these expectations include general economic conditions; further changes in our business direction or strategy; competitive factors; market uncertainties; and an inability to attract, develop, or retain consulting or managerial agents or independent contractors. 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 requires 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. No assurance can be given 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. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and
For the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
1. | Description of Business |
American Eagle Energy Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in March 2003 under the name Golden Hope Resources. In July 2005, the Company changed its name to Eternal Energy Corp. In December 2011, the Company changed its name to American Eagle Energy Corporation, in connection with its acquisition of, and merger with, American Eagle Energy Inc. (“AEE Inc.”). See Note 3.
The Company engages in the acquisition, exploration, development and producing of oil and gas properties. At June 30, 2012, the Company had entered into participation agreements related to oil and gas exploration projects in the Spyglass Property and West Spyglass Prospect, located in Divide County, North Dakota, and Sheridan County, Montana and the Hardy Property, located in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. In addition, the Company owns working interests in mineral leases located in Richland, Roosevelt and Toole Counties in Montana.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, American Eagle Energy Inc., EERG Energy ULC (Canadian) and AEE Canada Inc. (Canadian). All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. The principles for interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the condensed results for the interim periods. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.
In December 2011, the Company announced a 1.0-for-4.5 reverse stock split. As a result, all share and per share information included in these consolidated financial statements has been presented on a post-reverse-split basis.

American Eagle Energy Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and
For the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Certain amounts presented in the prior year financial statements have been renamed or reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net loss.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At June 30, 2012, the Company had $9,325,522 on deposit that exceeded the United States (FDIC) federally insurance limit of $250,000 per bank.
Foreign Currency Adjustments
The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the US Dollar. All transactions are translated using historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, EERG Energy ULC, which holds title to the Company’s Canadian assets and operates the Hardy Property wells, routinely conducts transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars. The Company recognized exchange gains totaling $118,059 and $73,039 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and losses totaling ($21,637) and $(28,584) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $101,500 and $51,500 of restricted cash, respectively. The restricted cash consists of cash bonds required by the State of North Dakota in order to pursue future drilling in the state. The cash is held in custody by the issuing bank in the form of certificates of deposit and is restricted as to withdrawal or use. Interest income earned from the certificates of deposit is paid to the Company upon maturation of the certificates of deposit. The certificates of deposit have six-month terms. However, it is the Company’s intention to renew the certificates of deposit upon maturation and to leave the cash bond in place for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the restricted cash has been classified as a non-current asset.
Receivables
The Company’s accounts receivables consist mainly of receivables from oil and gas purchasers and from joint interest owners on properties the Company operates. For receivables from joint interest owners, the Company typically has the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover non-payment of joint interest billings. Receivables are evaluated for collectability based on the financial strength of the individual customers or joint interest partners, as well as projected future production of the associated wells. At June 30, 2012, the Company has determined that all receivable balances are fully collectible and, accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded.

As of June 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and
For the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense in its statements of operations over the service period that the awards are expected to vest. The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire option. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $188,096 and $353,773, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012. The Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 or 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, measured on a recurring basis at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, were as follows:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
June 30, 2012 | ||||||||||||||||
Marketable securities | $ | 1,126,324 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 1,126,324 | ||||||||
December 31, 2011 | ||||||||||||||||
Marketable securities | 1,181,077 | 73,357 | - | 1,254,434 |
The Company uses level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock of an entity that is traded on the Canadian National Stock Exchange. The warrants are valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model which includes a calculation of historical volatility of the stock.

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed in the same way as basic earnings per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if all potential common shares had been issued that were dilutive. Diluted loss per common share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 is computed in the same way as basic loss per common share, as the inclusion of additional common shares that would be outstanding if all potential common shares had been issued would be anti-dilutive. See Note 9 for the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
3. | Acquisition of American Eagle Energy Inc. |
On December 20, 2011, the Company finalized its merger transaction with AEE Inc. Prior to the transaction, AEE Inc. operated as a publicly traded company with oil and gas holdings in North Dakota, Texas and southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada and was a working interest partner to the Company with respect to its Hardy Property and certain proved oil and gas properties and unproven oil and gas prospects located in North Dakota. The Company acquired AEE Inc. in order to leverage the two companies’ respective oil and gas holdings.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 36,476,543 shares of its common stock to acquire 100% of the then-outstanding shares of AEE Inc.’s common stock, which resulted in AEE Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately subsequent to the transaction, legacy AEE Inc. stockholders owned approximately 80% of the shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, exclusive of outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and shares of AEE Inc.’s common stock. The shares of common stock that were issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of AEE Inc. were registered with the SEC on November 11, 2011.
Despite the fact the AEE Inc.’s legacy stockholders held approximately 80% of the Company’s outstanding shares immediately following the merger, other factors present in the structure of the transaction resulted in the Company being determined to be the legal and acquiring entity. Specific factors that led to this conclusion included the fact that the majority of the merged company’s officers and Board of Directors membership consists of legacy Eternal Energy Corp. officers and directors. In addition, there is no single stockholder or organized group of stockholders of the former AEE Inc. that holds the largest minority voting interest in the merged company. Rather, the individual who owns the largest number of shares of the merged company’s voting stock is a legacy Eternal Energy stockholder and was a member of the Eternal Energy Corp.’s senior management and is a member of the merged company’s senior management team.
The Company’s historical financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the merger and to represent the historical operations of the Company through the merger date and the consolidated results of operations for the period from the merger date through December 31, 2011. The merger was structured to qualify as a “tax-free” transaction pursuant to Internal Revenue Service regulations.

10. | Carry Agreement |
On April 16, 2012, the Company entered into a Carry Agreement with a third-party working interest partner, pursuant to which (i) that partner agreed to fund 100% of the Company’s working interest share of the drilling and completion costs of up to six new oil and gas wells within our Spyglass Property and (ii) the Company will convey, for a limited duration, 50% of its working interest in the pre-payout revenues of each carried well to that partner. If payout has not occurred within two years of the commencement date for such well, then the temporary assignment is to increase to 100% for years three through payout. Once payout has occurred (112% of the costs on a well-by-well basis), the respective working interests in the revenues from each carried well will revert to the original working interests in each such well. The Carry Agreement relieves the Company of approximately $12 million in what the working interest share of the drilling and completion costs of such six wells would have been. The Company expects that it will significantly strengthen its working capital position and allow it to pursue our short-term drilling program vigorously.
As of the date of closing, the Company had incurred drilling costs associated with the first two wells to be covered under the Carry Agreement totaling $1,349,204. Upon execution of the Carry Agreement, these costs were removed from the Company’s books and an offsetting receivable was created. Pursuant to accounting rules, the assignment of a portion of the Company’s working interests in certain existing and future wells under the Carry Agreement has been treated as a conveyance of the working interests. The Company has disclosed the transfer of the drilling costs to the financing partner as a source of cash from investing activities on its consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company has received $6,778,134 of funding under the Carry Agreement. Proceeds received pursuant to the terms of the Carry Agreement, subsequent to the closing, are applied against the drilling and completion costs to which they relate. Additions to oil and gas properties that occurred subsequent to the closing of the Carry Agreement are presented net of proceeds received under the Carry Agreement on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Funds received pursuant to the Carry Agreement, prior to the incurrence of related drilling costs, are presented as amounts due to working interest partners on the consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF OUR MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
A Note About Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on current management’s expectations. These statements may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expect,” “aim,” “believe,” “projects,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about our business strategy, expenditures, and financial results are forward-looking statements. We believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are accurate. However, we cannot assure you that such expectations will occur.
Actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements due to a number of uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this section. Factors that could cause future results to differ from these expectations include general economic conditions, further changes in our business direction or strategy, competitive factors, oil and gas exploration uncertainties, and an inability to attract, develop, or retain technical, consulting, or managerial agents or independent contractors. 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 requires 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.

You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, except as required by law; we are not obligated to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Industry Outlook
The petroleum industry is highly competitive and subject to significant volatility due to numerous market forces. Crude oil and natural gas prices are affected by market fundamentals such as weather, inventory levels, competing fuel prices, overall demand, and the availability of supply.
Worldwide oil prices reached historical highs during the last half of 2008, before tumbling amid worldwide economic crisis. Oil prices stabilized during 2009 and remained stable throughout 2010. Since December 31, 2010, oil prices increased rapidly, topping $100 per barrel in mid-March 2011 and again in March 2012 before settling back into the mid-eighties at the end of the second quarter.

Oil prices cannot be predicted with any certainty and have significantly affected profitability and returns for upstream producers. Historically, crude oil prices have averaged approximately $85 per barrel over the past five years, per the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). However, during that time, oil prices have experienced wide fluctuations in prices, ranging from $37 per barrel to $145 per barrel, with the median price of $85 per barrel. Oil prices averaged approximately $93 and $98 during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, compared to $103 and $99 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011.
While local supply/demand fundamentals are a decisive factor affecting domestic natural gas prices over the long term, day-to-day prices may be more volatile in the futures markets, such as on the NYMEX and other exchanges, making it difficult to forecast prices with any degree of confidence.

Our Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name “Golden Hope Resources Corp.” on July 25, 2003 and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of natural resource properties of merit. On November 7, 2005, we filed documents with the Nevada Secretary of State to change our name to “Eternal Energy Corp.” by way of a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Eternal Energy Corp., which was formed solely to facilitate the name change. In December 2011, we again filed documents with the Nevada Secretary of state to change our name to “American Eagle Energy Corporation” in conjunction with our acquisition of, and merger with, American Eagle Energy Inc. (“AEE Inc.”).
Since our inception, we have entered into participation agreements related to oil and gas exploration projects throughout the continental United States, including Colorado, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Texas, and Utah, as well as in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, and areas located in the North Sea. As of June 30, 2012, we are actively engaged in exploration activities within the Spyglass Property, located in Divide County, North Dakota, within the Benrude Property, located in Roosevelt County, Montana and within the Hardy Property, located in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. In addition, we own undeveloped acreage interests in the Glacier Prospect, located in Toole County, Montana, the Sidney North Prospect, located in Richland County, Montana and the West Spyglass Prospect, located in an area adjacent to our Spyglass Property in Divide County, North Dakota and Sheridan County, Montana.

Oil & Gas Wells
Since November 2010, we have elected to participate as a non-operating working interest partner in the drilling of 25 wells within the Spyglass Property and areas within Divide Country, North Dakota. Our consolidated working interest ownership in the wells ranges from 0.03% to 22.87%.
During this same time period, we have drilled and completed six wells, in which we own significant working interests, and for which we serve as the Operator. Two of the wells were drilled within our Hardy Property, located in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada, while the other four wells were drilled within our Spyglass Property. In addition, we reworked an existing well, located within the Hardy Property, and anticipate drilling and completing six more wells within the Spyglass Property during the remainder of 2012. Our working interests in these wells ranges from 6.43% to 85.00%.
We evaluate our oil and gas properties for potential impairment on an annual basis. There were no impairments evident as of June 30, 2012.
A summary of the Company’s working interest in the Spyglass wells and the status of each well as of June 30, 2012 is as follows:

Results of Operations for the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2012 vs. 2011
The consolidated results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 include the results of operations of both American Eagle Energy Corporation and AEE Inc. and their respective subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the consolidated results of operations for AEE Inc. for the period January 1, 2011 through December 20, 2011, the date of our merger, are excluded from our reportable 2011 results of operations due to accounting rules applicable to business combinations. However, for analysis purposes only, the following discussion includes references, where appropriate, to pro forma amounts, which represent the combined results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011.
We recognized a net loss of $147,153 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to net income of $2,912,909 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. Our basic and diluted loss per share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 was ($0.00), compared to $0.32 and $0.30 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. The 2011 earnings per share figures have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the 1.0-to-4.5 reverse stock split that occurred in December 2011. A discussion of the key components of our statements of operations and material fluctuations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is provided below.
Revenues associated with the sale of oil and gas totaled $1,690,673 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $13,702 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. Oil and gas sales consist of our working interests in sales from both US and Canadian wells, which we operate, as well as sales from various US wells in which we own non-operating, working interests. A comparison of the 2012 and 2011 oil and gas sales is as follows:
· | Sales from our Hardy 4-16 well totaled $350,100 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. The Hardy 4-16 well was drilled and cased in May 2011 and put on production in September 2011. Accordingly, we did not recognize any oil sales from the Hardy 4-16 well during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
· | Sales from our Hardy 7-9 well totaled $21,354 and $7,377 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Due to various mechanical issues, the Hardy 7-9 well was shut-in during May and June 2012. |
· | In April 2012, we completed the Christianson 15-12 well, our first operated well within our Spyglass Property. Sales from the Christianson 15-12 well totaled $182,804 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. |
· | In May 2012, we completed the Cody 15-11 well, also within our Spyglass Property. Sales from the Cody 15-11 well totaled $88,950 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. |
· | Beginning in April 2011, we began recognizing revenues from our various working interests in a number of non-operated wells located within the Spyglass Property. Revenues related to Spyglass non-operated wells totaled $960,284 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $6,328 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. The majority of our 2012 Spyglass oil sales is attributable to the Wolter 13-9 ($116,068), the Legaard 4-25 ($95,557), the Torgeson 1-15 ($101,794), the Thomte 8-5 ($202,237), the Nomad 6-7 ($192,644), the Bagley 4-30 ($68,747), the Gerhardsen 1-10 ($15,418), the Montclair 1-12 ($44,018) and the Jurasin 32-29 ($32,008) wells. The Wolter 13-9, Legaard 4-25, Torgeson 1-15 and Bagley 4-30 wells are operated by SM Energy Company. The Thomte 8-5, Nomad 6-7 and Montclair 1-12 wells are operated by Samson Resources Company. The Gerhardsen 1-10 well is operated by Continental Resources, Inc. |
10 |
· | On a pro forma basis, oil and gas sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have totaled $24,139. |
Oil and gas operating expenses totaled $694,954 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $67,508 for the same period in 2011. Current year oil and gas operating expenses represented approximately 37.7% of oil and gas revenues. A comparison of the 2012 and 2011 oil and gas operating expense is as follows:
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Hardy 4-16 well totaled $207,775 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, representing 23.0% of net revenues. Because the well had not yet been completed at the time, we did not recognized any lease operating expenses for the Hardy 4-16 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Hardy 7-9 well totaled $225,670 and $67,508 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Historically, the Hardy 7-9 well has incurred higher than normal operating expenses and repair costs in order to maintain production. Well supervision, contract services and trucking expenses related to the Hardy 7-9 totaled $34,877, $72,855 and $34,245 respectively. |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Christianson 15-12 well totaled $21,279 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, representing 11.6% of net revenues. The Christianson 15-12 well was completed in April 2012. |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Cody 15-11 well totaled $10,361 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, representing 11.8% of net revenues. The Cody 15-11 well was completed in May 2012. |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our non-operating working interests in the various Spyglass wells totaled $173,923 and $6,328 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of the non-operated wells in which we own working interests were placed on production subsequent to June 30, 2011. Lease operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 totaled $15,160 for Wolter 13-9 (13.1% of net revenues), $10,921 for the Legaard 4-25 (11.4% of net revenues), $32,445 for the Torgeson 1-15 (31.9% of net revenues) $23,850 for the Thomte 8-5 (11.8% of net revenues), $22,154 for the Nomad 6-7 (11.5% of net revenues), $22,520 for the Bagley 4-30 (32.8% of net revenues sales), $5,046 for the Gerhardsen 1-10 (32.7% of net revenues) and $5,062 for the Montclair 1-12 (11.5% of net revenues) wells. Total lease operating expense for our other non-operated wells totaled $55,238 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. |
11 |
· | On a pro forma basis, oil and gas operating expenses would have totaled $138,200 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
General and administrative expenses totaled $867,008 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $438,436 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. While the merger with AEE Inc. has led to increases in our general and administrative costs, such increases are primarily limited to payroll and employee benefit related expenses, as well as increased professional fees, such as legal, accounting and consulting fees. A discussion of the key components of our general and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:
· | Salaries and related payroll expenses totaled $308,142 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $46,193 for the same period in 2011. Our staff consisted of 11 full-time employees as of June 30, 2012, compared to two full-time employees at June 30, 2011. Pro-forma payroll expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $139,163. |
· | We incurred legal fees totaling $112,540 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $153,449 for the same period in 2011. The majority of our 2011 legal fees were non-recurring and related to the then-proposed merger with AEE Inc., which closed in December 2011. Pro-forma legal fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $279,680. |
· | During the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, we paid consulting fees to a related party (Synergy Resources LLC) totaling $42,000. We incurred no such costs during the same period in 2011. Our consulting arrangement with Synergy Resources is a legacy arrangement from AEE Inc., which was entered into prior the merger of the two companies. Pro-forma consulting fees paid to Synergy Resources for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $38,000. |
· | We incurred accounting fees totaling $104,039 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $46,002 for the same period in 2011. Pro-forma accounting fees for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $78,793. |
· | In December 2011, we granted 975,000 stock options to members of our management and operational teams, as well as two directors and one independent contractor. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, we granted 390,000 stock options to a director and other employees. As a result, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $188,096 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. We did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, as all outstanding options during that period had previously vested fully. |
12 |
· | We incurred insurance expenses totaling $51,058 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $29,261 for the same period in 2011. The increase is primarily due to obtaining tail coverage for our Directors & Officers insurance for the three-year period prior to the merger with AEE Inc., as well as obtaining well insurance for the wells that we are operating or anticipate drilling in the coming year. |
· | Though our functional and reporting currency is the US Dollar, the majority of our transactions related to our Hardy Property are transacted in Canadian Dollars. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, we recognized a foreign exchange gains totaling $118,059 versus foreign exchange losses of $6,947 for the same period in 2011. |
· | We incurred travel and entertainment related expenses totaling $8,736 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $4,069 for the same period in 2011. Pro-forma travel and entertainment expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $25,108. |
· | We incurred computer related expenses totaling $29,835 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $4,205 for the same period in 2011. The increase is largely due to various computer software licenses that were obtained, as well as access to various oil and gas production and investor relations information services. Pro-forma computer expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $26,275. |
· | We incurred land management fees totaling $46,923 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $17,364 for the same period in 2011. The increase is primarily due to the fact that our land management consultant worked full-time for us in 2012, versus part-time in 2011. Pro-forma land management fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $64,681. |
· | On a pro-forma basis, aggregate general and administrative expenses would have been $793,225 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
Depletion expense related to our Canadian oil and gas properties totaled $142,159 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $11,679 for the same period in 2011. Depletion expense related to our US oil and gas properties totaled $134,563 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. We did not recognize any US depletion expense during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, as none of our non-operated wells was producing materially at that time.
We routinely receive dividends from our equity investment in shares of Crescent Point Energy Corp.’s common stock. Dividend income totaled $11,449 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $19,476 for the same period in 2011.
Despite incurring a net loss for the period, we recognized an estimated income tax expense of $17,860 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 relating to the effect of such losses on our deferred tax liabilities, compared to income tax expense of $4,429 for the same period in 2011.

Results of Operations for the Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2012 vs. 2011
The consolidated results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 include the results of operations of both American Eagle Energy Corporation and AEE Inc. and their respective subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the consolidated results of operations for AEE Inc. for the period January 1, 2011 through December 20, 2011, the date of our merger, are excluded from our reportable 2011 results of operations due to accounting rules applicable to business combinations. However, for analysis purposes only, the following discussion includes references, where appropriate, to pro forma amounts, which represent the combined results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.
We recognized a net loss of $505,488 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to net income of $2,348,363 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Our basic and diluted loss per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 was ($0.01), compared to $0.26 and $0.24 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The 2011 earnings per share figures have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the 1.0-to-4.5 reverse stock split that occurred in December 2011. A discussion of the key components of our statements of operations and material fluctuations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is provided below.
Revenues associated with the sale of oil and gas totaled $2,916,252 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $52,805 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Oil and gas sales consist of our working interests in sales from both US and Canadian wells (Canadian), which we operate, as well as sales from various US wells in which we own non-operating, working interests. A comparison of the 2012 and 2011 oil and gas sales is as follows:
· | Sales from our Hardy 4-16 well totaled $903,312 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. The Hardy 4-16 well was drilled and cased in May 2011 and put on production in September 2011. Accordingly, we did not recognize any oil sales from the Hardy 4-16 well during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
· | Sales from our Hardy 7-9 well totaled $115,243 and $46,480 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Due to various mechanical issues, the Hardy 7-9 well produced on and off during 2011. In January 2011, the well encountered mechanical problems and was taken off of production due to a parted rod string. The well was repaired and returned to production in March 2011. The well went off of production in mid-April due to mechanical issues. The well bore was repaired in May 2011; but, the well remained shut-in through June 30, 2011 due to inclement weather conditions and widespread flooding in the area. The Hardy 7-9 was returned to production in July 2011 and produced oil during five of the last six months of 2011 and the first six months of 2012. |
· | In April 2012, we completed the Christianson 15-12 well, our first operated well within our Spyglass Property. Sales from the Christianson 15-12 well totaled $182,804 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. |
14 |
· | In May 2012, we completed the Cody 15-11 well, also within our Spyglass Property. Sales from the Cody 15-11 well totaled $88,950 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. |
· | Beginning in April 2011, we began recognizing revenues from our various working interests in a number of non-operated wells located within the Spyglass Property. Revenues related to Spyglass non-operated wells totaled $1,639,441 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $6,328 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The majority of our 2012 Spyglass oil sales is attributable to the Wolter 13-9 ($367,935), the Legaard 4-25 ($250,172), the Torgeson 1-15 ($204,253), the Thomte 8-5 ($202,237), the Nomad 6-7 ($192,644), the Bagley 4-30 ($112,937), the Gerhardsen 1-10 ($43,303) and the Montclair 1-12 ($44,018) wells. |
· | On a pro forma basis, oil and gas sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have totaled $99,282. |
Oil and gas operating expenses totaled $1,101,510, compared to $115,691 for the same period in 2011. Current year oil and gas operating expenses represented approximately 37.7% of oil and gas revenues. A comparison of the 2012 and 2011 oil and gas operating expense is as follows:
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Hardy 4-16 well totaled $348,249 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, representing 38.5% of net revenues. Because the well had not yet been completed at the time, we did not recognized any lease operating expenses for the Hardy 4-16 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Hardy 7-9 well totaled $377,521 and $115,691 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Historically, the Hardy 7-9 well has incurred higher than normal operating expenses and repair costs in order to maintain production. Well supervision, contract services and trucking expenses related to the Hardy 7-9 totaled $53,312, $93,716 and $101,920 respectively. |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Christianson 15-12 well totaled $21,279 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, representing 11.6% of net revenues. The Christianson 15-12 well was completed in April 2012. |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our Cody 15-11 well totaled $10,464 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, representing 11.8% of net revenues. The Cody 15-11 well was completed in May 2012. |
15 |
· | Lease operating expenses associated with our non-operating working interests in the various Spyglass wells totaled $279,438 and $6,328 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of the non-operated wells in which we own working interests were placed on production subsequent to June 30, 2011. Lease operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 totaled $52,228 for Wolter 13-9 (14.2% of net revenues), $30,116 for the Legaard 4-25 (12.0% of net revenues), $49,061 for the Torgeson 1-15 (24.0% of net revenues) $24,112 for the Thomte 8-5 (11.9% of net revenues), $22,154 for the Nomad 6-7 (11.5% of net revenues), $28,140 for the Bagley 4-30 (24.9% of net revenues sales), $8,293 for the Gerhardsen 1-10 (19.2% of net revenues) and $5,062 for the Montclair 1-12 (11.5% of net revenues) wells. Total lease operating expense for our other non-operated wells totaled $60,272 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. |
· | On a pro forma basis, oil and gas operating expenses would have totaled $233,367 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
General and administrative expenses totaled $2,045,700 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $994,767 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. A discussion of the key components of our general and administrative expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:
· | Salaries and related payroll expenses totaled $625,733 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $118,075 for the same period in 2011. Our staff consisted of 11 full-time employees as of June 30, 2012, compared to two full-time employees during the first half of 2011. Pro-forma payroll expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $226,425. |
· | We incurred legal fees totaling $234,641 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $390,266 for the same period in 2011. The majority of our 2011 legal fees were non-recurring and related to the then-proposed merger with AEE Inc., which closed in December 2011. Pro-forma legal fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $683,349. |
· | We incurred consulting fees totaling $100,746 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $153,192 for the same period in 2011. The 2012 consulting fees included fees associated with the recruitment of new employees totaling $32,500, fees associated with our rebranding totaling $32,782 and fees associated with obtaining our most recent reserve report, totaling $30,435. Included in the 2011 consulting fees were costs associated with obtaining a fairness opinion related to our then-proposed merger with AEE Inc., totaling $126,051. Pro-forma consulting fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $169,190. |
· | During the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, we paid consulting fees to a related party (Synergy Resources LLC) totaling $84,000. We incurred no such costs during the same period in 2011. Our consulting arrangement with Synergy Resources is a legacy arrangement from AEE Inc., which was entered into prior the merger of the two companies. Pro-forma consulting fees paid to Synergy Resources for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled $68,000. |
· | We incurred accounting fees totaling $158,534 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $105,696 for the same period in 2011. Pro-forma accounting fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $178,992. |
16 |
· | In December 2011, we granted 975,000 stock options to members of our management and operational teams, as well as two directors and one independent contractor. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, we granted 390,000 stock options to a director and other employees. As a result, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $353,773 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. We did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as all outstanding options during that period had previously vested fully. |
· | We incurred insurance expenses totaling $159,362 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $49,834 for the same period in 2011. The increase is primarily due to obtaining tail coverage for our Directors & Officers insurance for the three-year period prior to the merger with AEE Inc., as well as obtaining well insurance for the wells that we are operating or anticipate drilling in the coming year. |
· | Though our functional and reporting currency is the US Dollar, the majority of our transactions related to our Hardy Property are transacted in Canadian Dollars. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, we recognized a foreign exchange gains totaling $73,039 versus foreign exchange losses of $28,584, for the same period in 2011. |
· | We incurred travel and entertainment related expenses totaling $51,071 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $13,578 for the same period in 2011. During March 2012, our Chairman and President traveled to various financial centers within the US to raise public awareness of our Company. Pro-forma travel and entertainment expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $38,835. |
· | We incurred computer related expenses totaling $81,673 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $5,988 for the same period in 2011. The increase is largely due to various computer software licenses that were obtained, as well as access to various oil and gas production and investor relations information services. Pro-forma computer expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $34,837. |
· | We incurred land management fees totaling $93,320 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $35,592 for the same period in 2011. The increase is primarily due to the fact that our land management consultant only worked part-time for us in 2011, versus full-time in 2012. Pro-forma land management fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 would have been $116,452. |
· | On a pro-forma basis, aggregate general and administrative expenses would have been $1,720,922 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. |
17 |
Depletion expense related to our Canadian oil and gas properties totaled $332,377 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $24,712 for the same period in 2011. Depletion expense related to our US oil and gas properties totaled $234,820 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. We did not recognize any US depletion expense during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as none of our non-operated wells was producing materially at that time.
We routinely receive dividends from our equity investment in shares of Crescent Point Energy Corp.’s common stock. Dividend income totaled $28,730 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $34,532 for the same period in 2011.
We recognized an estimated income tax benefit in the amount of $259,769 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 relating to our net losses for the period and the effect of such losses on our deferred tax liabilities. We did not recognize any income tax expense or benefit during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as we had available net-operating-loss carryforwards to offset any such expense. Our deferred tax liabilities relate primarily to our merger with AEE Inc., which occurred in December 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2012, our assets totaled $56,792,189, which included, among other items, cash balances totaling $10,084,292, trade receivables totaling $12,063,519 and marketable securities valued at $1,126,324. As of June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $4,481,523, exclusive of our marketable securities, which, due to their nature, are presented as non-cash assets on our June 30, 2012 balance sheet. Our working capital deficit is primarily the result of accelerating drilling activities ahead of anticipated corresponding revenues.
In April 2012, we entered into a Carry Agreement with a third-party working interest partner, pursuant to which (i) that partner agreed to fund 100% of our working interest share of the drilling and completion costs of up to six new oil and gas wells within our Spyglass Property, up to 120% of the anticipated cost of the wells and (ii) we will convey, for a limited duration, 50% of our working interest in the pre-payout revenues of each carried well to that partner. If payout has not occurred within two years of the commencement date for such well, then the temporary assignment is to increase to 100% for years three through payout. Once payout has occurred (112% of the costs on a well-by-well basis), our respective working interests in the revenues from each carried well will revert to our original working interests in each such well. The Carry Agreement relieves us of approximately $12 million in what our working interest share of the drilling and completion costs of such six wells would have been. We expect that it will significantly strengthen our working capital position and allow us to pursue our short-term drilling program vigorously. As of June 30, 2012, we have received $6,778,134 of funding under the Carry Agreement. In July 2012, we executed an amendment to the Carry Agreement that extended the terms of the Carry Agreement to another four operated wells.
Historically, we have successfully raised additional operating capital through private equity funding sources and from the sale of various oil and gas prospects and properties. However, no assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain sufficient operating capital through the sale of common stock and/or borrowing or that the development and implementation of our business plan will generate sufficient future revenues to sustain ongoing operations.

Litigation
As of June 30, 2012, we are not subject to any known or threatened litigation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
