PETROSONIC ALBANIA SHA.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1: Description of Company and Basis of Presentation

 

Petrosonic Albania Sha., (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) was incorporated on May 24, 2010 in Tirana, Albania. The Company has not generated revenues since inception. The two initial shareholders are Sonoro Energy Ltd (a Canadian publicly traded company in TSX- symbol; SNV) and Albnafta, Ltd, an Albanian private company. The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 915-15 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.

 

Petrosonic Albania Sha. is a company that plans to operate in de-asphalting and separation of asphalt from heavy crude oil, oil sands and waste oils under a license agreement with Sonoro Energy Ltd which allows the Company to use the proprietary sonic technology which was developed, patented and owned by Sonoro Energy formerly Sonic Technology Solutions in the territory of the Republic of Albania.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Petrosonic Albania, Sha. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with SEC on Form 8-K. In the option of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, 2011, as reported in Form 8K, have been omitted.

 

NOTE 2: Going Concern

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit. As such, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have sufficient working capital for its planned activities, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Continuation of the company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital. The management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through short-term loans from related parties and additional equity investments, which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3: Value-added taxes receivable

 

In April 2012, the Company filed for and received a refund of $86,136 tax amount from the government of Albania. During the period ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred additional value added taxes of $43,822.

 

NOTE 4: Contributed Capital

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, a related party contributed $152,439 to the Company.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

June 30, 2012

 

 

1.    Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
   
  The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Petrosonic Energy, Inc. (formerly Bearing Mineral Exploration, Inc.)  (‘we”, “our” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s October 31, 2011 annual financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period ended October 31, 2011, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.
   
2. Going Concern
   
  As of June 30, 2012, the Company has never generated any revenues and has accumulated losses of $324,301 since inception.   The Company has limited cash resources and will likely require new financing, either through debt financing, equity offerings or business combinations to continue the development of its business; however, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in raising the funds necessary to maintain operations, or that a self-supporting level of operations will ever be achieved.  The likely outcome of these future events is indeterminable. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
   
3. Related Party Transactions
   
  During the period ended June 30, 2012, $42,000 was repaid to our former President for funds previously advanced to the Company for additional working capital. 
   
  On June 11, 2012, we borrowed $195,100 from our President under a convertible debenture with a face value of $200,000. The convertible debenture matures June 11, 2013 and bears interest at 10%. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, if we complete an equity or convertible debenture financing yielding aggregate proceeds of at least $500,000, our President may elect to convert the debenture in whole or in part into common shares at the same price any shares are sold, or in the case of a convertible debenture, the price of the shares issuable upon conversion.
   
  The Company evaluated the convertible note for derivatives noting that as the conversion price cannot be determined until $500,000 in financing has been raised; the derivative liability cannot be determined as of June 30, 2012.
   
4. Capital Stock
   
  On April 17, 2012, the Company issued 20,000,003 common shares valued at $160,000 to Art Agolli in exchange for all of his interest in a letter of intent with Sonoro Energy Ltd.
   
  On April 18, 2012, concurrent with his resignation as a director of the Company, Gerhard Schlombs surrendered 22,500,000 common shares.   No compensation was paid to Mr. Schlombs for the cancellation of his shares.

 

F-8
 

 

  On May 16, 2012 the Company effected a forward stock split on the basis of 11.25:1, whereby each shareholder would hold 11.25 common shares for every one share previously held. The Company’s share transactions disclosed in the financial statements have been restated retroactively to reflect the forward stock split for all periods presented.
   
5. Convertible Notes Payable
   
  During the eight months ended June 30, 2012, we have borrowed $163,775 under several Convertible Debentures totaling to that amount.   The debentures bear interest at 10% per annum and mature one year from the issuance date.  Until the due date, the holder(s) may elect to convert the debenture in whole or in part into common shares at the price of any aggregate financing exceeding $500,000 less a discount of 25% per share.   The Company evaluated the convertible note for derivatives noting that as the conversion price cannot be determined until $500,000 in financing has been raised; the derivative liability cannot be determined as of June 30, 2012.
   
6. Restatement
   
  Certain prior interim period amounts have been restated to conform with the current interim period presentation.
   
7. Subsequent Events
   
  On July 27, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Sonoro Energy Ltd. including (i) certain technology relating to the treatment and upgrading of heavy oil by sonicated solvent de-asphalting, (ii) 60,000 shares of Petrosonic Albania pursuant to a share purchase agreement and (iii) sonic reactors located in Albania and Richmond, British Columbia and a solvent recovery system located in or around Turin, Italy.  In exchange for the assets, the Company agreed to pay to Sonoro the following consideration: (i) $250,000, (ii) a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 and (iii) a 10% royalty interest in our realized net revenues for a period of 10 years from the time we commence commercial operations, which is defined as the date upon which we process an average of 50 barrels of feed stock per day over a period of 30 consecutive days utilizing the technology acquired. As of June 30, 2012, a deposit of $250,000 was made towards the purchase of the sonic reactor and the technology license.
   
  As a result of acquiring the 60,000 shares, the Company acquired controlling interest in Petrosonic Albania Sha. and Petrosonic Albania Sha. became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, in this Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company”, or the “Registrant” refer to Petrosonic Energy, Inc. (previously Bearing Mineral Exploration, Inc.), a Nevada corporation and its majority-owned subsidiary, Petrosonic Albania Sha, “Petrosonic Albania” or “Petrosonic” a body corporate under the laws of Albania.

 

History

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 11, 2008 under the name “Bearing Mineral Exploration, Inc.”, with authorized capital stock of 75,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value. We were organized for the purpose of conducting gold exploration activities on a mineral claim located in the Province of Newfoundland, Canada. We were not able to establish the existence of a commercially minable gold deposit and have been seeking other viable business opportunities for the Company.

 

On April 17, 2012, we entered into an Assignment Agreement with Art Agolli, our President, Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and director, pursuant to which Mr. Agolli agreed to convey to us, all of his right, title and interest in a letter of intent with Sonoro Energy Ltd.; a Canadian publicly traded company (TSX-V: SNV) based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, who is the holder of all of the legal and equitable rights and entitlements to a sonic reactor and technology that Sonoro has developed to utilize the sonic reactor for the treatment and upgrading of heavy oil by sonicated solvent de-asphalting.

 

On May 16, 2012, we effected an 11.25-for-1 forward stock split of our Common Stock and an increase in our authorized number of common shares to 843,750,000. Additionally, on May 16, 2012, we changed our name to “Petrosonic Energy, Inc.” to better reflect the Company’s new business direction in anticipation of the purchase of certain rights in technology, assets and common shares owned by Sonoro Energy Ltd.

 

Subsequent to the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, on July 27, 2012, we acquired certain assets (the “Assets”) from Sonoro Energy Ltd., (“Sonoro”), including (i) certain technology relating to the treatment and upgrading of heavy oil by sonicated solvent de-asphalting, (ii) 60,000 shares of Petrosonic Albania pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), and (iii) sonic reactors located in Albania and Richmond, British Columbia and a solvent recovery system located in or around Turin, Italy (the “Transaction”), pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated July 27, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

10
 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for the Assets, we agreed to pay to Sonoro the following consideration: (i) $250,000, (ii) a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 (the “Debenture”) and (iii) a 10% royalty interest in our realized net revenues for a period of 10 years from the time we commence commercial operations, which is defined as the date upon which we process an average of 50 barrels of feed stock per day over a period of 30 consecutive days utilizing the technology acquired. For a complete description of the Transaction, and the Purchase Agreement please refer to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on July 31, 2012.

 

Our head office is located at Suite 204, 205 – 9th Avenue SE, Calgary, AB, Canada, T2G 0R3. We have no monthly rent, nor do we accrue any expense for monthly rent. Our director is letting the Company use his office free of charge in order to save costs until the Company can lease an office when requisite funding is in place. Our main telephone number is (403) 708-7869.

 

Petrosonic Albania has an office in Fier, Albania at the same location where its processing plant is located. Albania’s heavy oil upstream and downstream industries are located in Fier and the facility is only a few miles away from the heavy oil producing fields. It is also located 35 kilometers away from Albania’s only deep sea port and export facility, the PIR Vlora terminal. The office is offered by the Albanian partner free of charge until the company signs a lease agreement when requisite funding is in place. Petrosonic Albania currently has two full-time employees and three part-time employees, as well as, several independent consultants. Petrosonic Albania plans to hire a Chief Financial Officer and three local operations staff in Albania during the first year of its operations. The company has identified potential candidates for such positions, and expects to proceed with such hires once it has secured the requisite financing.

 

Following the consummation of the Transaction, we believe that we are not a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. From and after the consummation of the Transaction, our primary operations consist of utilizing the Assets to develop a business relating to the treatment and upgrading of heavy oil by sonicated solvent de-asphalting and operating the business of Petrosonic Albania Sha. (the “Business”). Therefore, we disclose information about the Business in this Form 10-Q. For accounting purposes, the Purchase Agreement has been accounted for under the Purchase Method of accounting by the Company.

 

Operation Plans and Business Focus

 

Petrosonic has developed a commercial process which improves heavy oil densities by 6 to 15 API1 from as low as 8 API, reduces viscosities of oil by 99% to pipeline specifications and reduces sulphur and heavy metals by over 50%. The Petrosonic heavy oil process will enable heavy sour oil (HSO) and bitumen (from most heavy oil and oil sands fields in the world) to be converted from nominally an API gravity of 8-14 degrees to a value-added synthetic crude oil of between 18 and 23 API. This is achieved through the reduction of undesirable constituents of the raw heavy oil and/or bitumen. The process incorporates two stages: solvent de-asphalting and distillation.

 

While solvent de-asphalting and distillation are both proven and well known technologies, the innovation associated with the Petrosonic upgrading process lies in the rapid de-asphalting achieved by sonication of the de-asphalting phase with the Petrosonic reactor stage.

 

This process is especially beneficial to producers with the following intrinsic challenges:

 

·Stranded heavy oil due to transportation issues

 

·Diluent supply issues

 

 

______________________________________

1 The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water; one of the qualitative measures for crude oil

 

11
 

 

·Limited refining markets (light oil refiners struggle with heavy oil)

 

·Heavy discounts due to:

 

oDensity adjustments

 

oHigh sulphur content

 

oHigh metals content

 

We believe Petrosonic will be able to take advantage of an opportunity that traditional upgrading technology cannot address – upstream upgrading on smaller scales. The viability of upgrading is constantly changing due to production mix, refining infrastructure costs, and oil pricing. However, there are three markets for small upgraders that make sense:

 

·Pipeline systems where access to the pipeline requires blending of heavy oil. Condensate prices and heavy oil differentials have been stable for some time and long term projections indicate that low condensate prices following the global economic slow-down will be short-lived;

 

·Heavy oil producers in markets where light oil dominates refinery infrastructure. Internationally there are several markets like this; and

 

·Markets where upgrading asphalt by-products can command premium prices. This is especially attractive in North America given the economic infrastructure stimulus measures being implemented.

 

To take advantage of these opportunities Petrosonic must be able to:

 

·Economically upgrade heavy oil from small and medium sized producers right in the field;

 

·Add value and allow producers to capture a larger share of the market price for refinery products;

 

·Provide operating plants to heavy oil producers in return for tolling process fees or purchase heavy oil at a premium to blenders;

 

Upgraded oil provides uplift in crude’s value and eliminates issues related to transport of crude oil to pipeline and refinery companies.

 

Depending on regional markets, traditional heavy oil discounts (10 API oil with >2% sulphur) are 35-40% and we believe such discounts could be reduced to only 10-20% through our process. On 5,000 barrels of oil per day (“bopd”) this would equate to increased revenues of approximately $6/barrel (bbl) or around $11 million per year (based on $100/bbl brent oil). Capital costs are expected to be between $0.5-1 million per 1,000 bbls capacity. Operating costs will be between $2-3 per bbl on a stand- alone facility basis.

 

Petrosonic plans to have its first 1,000 bopd stand-alone facility operational by September 2012 in Albania. Expected annual cashflows from the initial 1,000 bopd facility are expected to reduce heavy oil price discounts historically received in Albania from 40% to 20% as a result of achieving a 18-23 API oil. Petrosonic believes that with significant heavy oil production growth anticipated from the approximately 8 billion barrels of oil reserves believed to be present in Albania, if we are able to successfully capture a portion of this processing business, Petrosonic expects to expand its facilities over the next 3-5 years to 15,000 bopd as Albanian oil production increases.

12
 

 

If Petrosonic is able to successfully establish their first commercial facility, we believe heavy oil producers will want to integrate the Petrosonic system at their cost into their treatment facilities. Petrosonic would sell the process solution and retain a royalty fee under this type of development. While revenue per facility will be less (estimated at 50%), no capital and minimal support will be required. This strategy would allow for faster growth. Petrosonic may also choose to develop its own stand-alone facilities to capture further upside and long term value creation.

 

Further upside opportunities exist in several other applications which the Company is in advanced stage of development, including, heavy oil sands separation (both from oil sands and ecology pits), and oil separations from drill cuttings.

 

Vision and Strategy

 

·Petrosonic hopes to provide its shareholders with returns and cash flow growth by leveraging its experience and intellectual property within the heavy oil business.

 

·Petrosonic plans to use an initial model of building its own stand-alone facilities to prove, optimize and develop business growth opportunities with small to medium sized producers. To achieve higher returns and growth, the Company will license out on a fee for service basis or royalty basis its processes to be integrated into producer’s treatment facilities.

 

·Where there is a distinct advantage Petrosonic may capture heavy oil resources prospects or participate jointly in them. Any resource level participation would require higher returns on investment and be required to stand on its own prior to the benefits of applying Petrosonic’s technology.

 

·We believe Petrosonic’s leadership in oil processing technology compiled with a strong background in the heavy oil industry is expected to result in a superior rate of return to shareholders from direct and indirect operations. This will be further leveraged if the Company is able to financially participate in the underlying oil assets, especially by acquiring these in advance.

 

Key Success Factors

 

Petrosonic’s success will be dependent upon:

 

·Our ability to attract and develop numerous projects once the first project is complete;

 

·Access to an ample producer oil supply and our ability to find equitable profit distribution;

 

·Our development and distribution of asphalt within the market;

 

·Our ability to minimize the technical risk through avoidance of scale up issues;

 

·Alleviation of market risk through the use of strategic partners which can gain quick access to markets; and

 

·Alleviation of financial risk through partnering.

 

 

13
 

 

Priorities

 

Immediate priorities of Petrosonic are:

 

·Strengthening the operations and management of the Company as it moves forward in the oil sector;

 

·Moving ahead with the processing facility in Albania;

 

·Establishing a second country oil processing project; and

 

·Building a firm backlog of projects with financing commitments.

 

 

Petrosonic’s Technology

 

SonoProcess

 

We believe Petrosonic’s technology advantage is based upon the use of the Petrosonic reactor technology and the unique cavitational and enhanced mass transfer effects that it provides. Petrosonic has developed a unique competency in the design of enhanced mass transfer energy processes and the proprietary applications that result from this.

 

In recent years the use of cavitational technologies and ultrasound has been researched extensively for oil processing – usually in the context of desulphurization or “cold cracking”. Our own research does not support this and we make no claims that it can create a unique upgrading process. The chemistries used in the Petrosonic process are established and our advantage is that we make these more effective.

 

The Company looks to maintain its initial technical advantage derived from the Petrosonic Sonoprocess™ for heavy oil by adding complementary proprietary process technologies to this.

 

The Petrosonic reactor has been designed and built in a variety of configurations but all Petrosonic process development is undertaken on full scale units:

 

·Petrosonic reactors are based on low-frequency / high-amplitude Petrosonic energy reactors;

 

·A patented electromagnetic drive puts a massive steel bar into resonance and this allows efficient transfer of energy to the reaction chambers;

 

·There are no moving parts and so Petrosonic reactors have a high reliability and operational availability;

 

·The reaction chambers are attached at the mid-node points one half wavelength from the drive system, enabling the reactors to apply Petrosonic energy to physical, chemical and biological processes;

 

·Petrosonic reactors are thus able to achieve more sustainable processes – better reactivity, less reagents, less energy, greater effectiveness and more product for overall economic advantage.

 

Direct Sonicated Separation

 

The previous holder of the technology has also carried out independent tests on oil sands to determine if the technology could be effective in a low cost primary separation process. Preliminary tests with a proprietary process protocol produced results comparable with existing technology.

14
 

 

However, the effectiveness of this technology is but a first step due to the massive scale of oil sands projects. At this time the Company believes the volume of material that would need to be processed requires a “next generation” of Petrosonic reactor technology. Existing scale technology may be applicable to small scale oil sands production.

 

The Company has directed its efforts towards a more immediate but directly related application – the treatment of drill cuttings. This is not the same scale of opportunity but offers immediate access to market and cash flow generation based on modest investment of capital.

 

Petrosonic Heavy Oil Process Patents

 

As part of the transaction with Sonoro Energy the company has acquired the following Heavy Oil Process provisional and PCT applications based on the Company’s Sonoprocess™:

·Patent/Application No: US 61/035,690. Jurisdiction: United States. Title: Method for Treating Heavy Crude Oil. Status: Company will appeal the expired priority claim to reinstate the priority claim.

 

 

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is limited historical financial information about Petrosonic Albania upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company focused on the treatment and upgrading of heavy oil by sonicated solvent de-asphalting. We are in the process of bringing online our first stand-alone facility located in Albania, which is expected to be able to process and de-asphalt up to 1,000 barrels per day of heavy oil. We plan to generate revenue by both integrating our system into oil producer treatment facilities, as well as continuing to develop our own standalone facilities, such as the Albania facility to capture further upside and long term value creation.

 

Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to develop our operations.  We presently finance our operations through debt and equity financings. We have limited capital resources and there is no assurance that future financing will be available to our Company on acceptable terms.

 

If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Going Concern Uncertainties

 

As of the date of this quarterly report, there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our business operations.  The financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our obligations in the normal course of business. If we are not to continue as a going concern, we would likely not be able to realize our assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the financial statements.

18
 

 

Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

 

Because we have not generated any revenues, and have incurred losses from operations since inception, in their report on our audited financial statements for the latest fiscal year, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of Petrosonic Energy, Inc. and those of Petrosonic Albania Sha. contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our respective independent auditors.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 5 years. The Company has not recognized depreciation since inception as none of the equipment has been used in operations.

 

Research and development

 

Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and manufacturing methods are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, Petrosonic Albania expensed $-0- and $10,704, respectively, as research and development costs.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, the Company, as a smaller reporting company, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective since the following material weaknesses exist:

19
 

 

(i)The Company’s management is relying on external consultants for purposes of preparing its financial reporting package and may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial reporting package before its release as a continuous disclosure document.

 

(ii)As the Company is governed by one officer who is also a director, there is an inherent lack of segregation of duties and lack of independent governing board.

 

Once the Company has sufficient personnel available, our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee and audit committee financial expert and we will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of our financial statements; which will allow for proper segregation of duties as well as additional manpower for proper documentation.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On April 17, 2012, we issued 20,000,003 (1,777,778 pre-split) unregistered restricted shares of common stock to Art Agolli pursuant to an Assignment Agreement with Mr. Agolli, whereby Mr. Agolli agreed to convey to us, all of his right, title and interest in and to a certain letter of intent between Mr. Agolli and Sonoro Energy Ltd. The shares of common stock were issued to Mr. Agolli pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in that the transaction took place outside the United States of America with a non-US person.

 

On April 18, 2012, concurrent with his resignation as a director of the Company, Gerhard Schlombs surrendered 22,500,000 (2,000,000 pre-split) shares of the Company`s common stock, registered in his name, to the corporate treasury for cancellation. Such shares were cancelled by our transfer agent. No compensation was paid to Mr. Schlombs for the cancellation of his shares.

 

During the eight months ended June 30, 2012, we have issued several Convertible Debentures to raise $165,000 for general working capital. Debentures for $50,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $40,000 were issued to three non-related parties. The debentures bear interest at 10% per annum and mature one year from the issuance date. Until the due date, the holder(s) may elect to convert the debenture in whole or in part into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate equal to the price of any aggregate financing exceeding five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars less a discount of 25% per share. The convertible notes were offered pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in that the transactions took place outside the United States of America with non-US persons.

Furthermore, on June 11, 2012, we entered into an agreement with our President for a convertible debenture valued at $200,000 for funds advanced. The convertible debenture matures June 11, 2013 and bears interest at 10%. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, if we complete an equity or convertible debenture financing yielding aggregate proceeds of at least $500,000 (“Qualified Financing”), our President may elect to convert the debenture in whole or in part into common shares of the Company at a price equal to the price per share at which common shares of the Company are sold in the Qualified Financing, or in the case of a convertible debenture, the price of the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures sold in the Qualified Financing. The Debenture was issued to Mr. Agolli pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in that the transaction took place outside the United States of America with a non-US person.

 

Subsequent to the period covered under this report on Form 10-Q, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for the Assets, we issued to Sonoro a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture has a term of two years and is non-interest bearing. At any time after we have completed an equity or convertible debenture financing yielding aggregate proceeds of at least $500,000 (a “Qualified Financing”), the Debenture is convertible at the holder’s option into shares of our common stock. The conversion price of the Debenture will be equal to the price per share of the shares sold in the Qualified Financing or the conversion price of the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures sold in the Qualified Financing. The Debenture was issued to Sonoro pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in that the transaction took place outside the United States of America with a non-US person.
