Item 1: Business

 

ORGANIZATION

 

Royal Energy Resources, Inc. (“RER” or the “Company”) was originally organized in Delaware on March 22, 1999, with the name Webmarketing, Inc. (“Webmarketing”). On July 7, 2004, the Company revived its charter and changed its name from Webmarketing to World Marketing, Inc.

 

The Company is currently pursuing gold, silver, copper and rare earth metals mining concessions in Romania, Bulgaria and Canada and mining leases in the United States. If successful, the Company plans to concentrate its efforts to develop these properties.

 

On August 7, 2012, the Company received approval by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting, of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting power authorizing the Board of Directors of the Company to: (i) effectuate the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, on a 1 for 500 basis and (ii) increase the authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. The stock split was effectuated on October 1, 2012 upon filing appropriate documentation with FINRA. The increase in authorized shares was completed on October 9, 2012 when the amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. All share references included herein have been adjusted as if the change took place before the date of the earliest transaction reported.

 

On April 1, 2011, the Company, through its CEO completed the initial stages of forming a Romanian subsidiary to be used to acquire and develop possible gold, silver and copper mining concessions in Romania. The subsidiary, S.C. Golden Carpathan Resources S.R.L., will be located in Bucharest, Romania.

 

On November 5, 2007, the Company filed its Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C to report the following corporate actions:

1To approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized capital to 110,000,000 shares comprising 100,000,000 shares of common stock par value $0.00001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock par value $0.00001 per share;
2To specifically delineate the rights of the holders of common stock $0.00001 par value with respect to dividends, liquidation and voting rights;
3To confirm the right of the Company’s board of directors to designate and issue from time to time, in one or more series, shares of preferred stock par value $0.00001 per share subject to such designations and powers, preferences and rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof hereinafter adopted by the Company’s board of directors;
4To specifically delineate the right of the Company’s board of directors to issue shares of common and preferred stock for such consideration as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors (but not less than par value) and to issue rights or options to acquire such shares on terms and conditions to be determined by the Company’s board of directors; and
5To change the name of the Company to Royal Energy Resources, Inc.f the Company to Royal Energy Resources, Inc.

 

The foregoing became effective on December 12, 2007, upon filing the amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.

 RER was organized in 1999 and attempted to start a web-based marketing business for health-care products. The health-care products business had no revenue and was discontinued in 2001 and the Company remained inactive until July 22, 2005 when it commenced its real estate business. Accordingly, the current development stage has a commencement date of July 22, 2005 and all prior losses of $28,995 have been transferred to accumulated deficit.

 

BUSINESS

 

As a result of the current real estate market, the Company expects to concentrate the majority of its resources in energy projects.

 

ENERGY AND MINING

 

The Company is currently pursuing gold, silver, copper and rare earth metals mining concessions in Romania, Bulgaria and Canada and mining leases in the United States. If successful, the Company plans to concentrate its efforts to develop these properties. At August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company held the lease for 2,100 acres of rare earth and precious metals leases in Crook County, Wyoming, respectively. There are leases for 1,280 acres pending. The rare earth and precious metals leases are approximately 5-15 miles from Bear Lodge Mountain near Sundance, Wyoming. The U.S. Geological Survey has studied Bear Lodge Mountain extensively (USGS Prof. paper #1049-D) and has estimated it contains one of the largest deposits of disseminated rare earth elements in North America.

In addition, the Company holds the lease for uranium rights on approximately 960 acres in Laramie County, Wyoming as of August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively. The uranium rights are located on a trend approximately 25-30 miles from a proposed uranium mine in Weld County, Colorado which was estimated to have uranium reserves valued at over $500 million.

 

 

UNDEVELOPED LEASEHOLD NOT BEING AMORTIZED

 

The Company has been the successful bidder in United States Government auctions to purchase certain oil and gas lease rights. The oil and gas leases comprised approximately 3,000 acres in Weston, Goshen, Converse, Freemont, Laramie and Platt Counties, Wyoming as of August 31, 2011. At August 31, 2012, all leases covering oil and gas lease rights had been sold with an overriding royalty interest retained. As of August 31, 2012, the Company had collected approximately $89,000 from sales of leases and royalty interests.

The Company is negotiating with energy companies to develop the potential resources that may be contained in these properties. The Company has entered into agreements and then sold, by assignment, the rights, title and interest in certain of these leases and retained an over-riding royalty interest. Revenue from these transactions is accounted for using the full cost method of accounting.

 OIL AND GAS DRILLING PROSPECTS

 

During 2008, the Company prepaid $119,011 as estimated drilling and completion costs for a 25% working interest in three wells in Washington County, Oklahoma. Two of the wells were completed in September and October 2008 and the third well was abandoned in 2010. During 2009, the Company advanced an additional $42,000, net, to apply toward workover of three additional wells. These workovers proved unsuccessful and the wells were all abandoned.

REAL ESTATE

 

Our primary objective was to acquire, make necessary renovations and resell both residential and commercial real estate. It was anticipated that we might lease some of the properties while they were being held for sale. We completed the acquisition of our first property on August 25, 2005, a condominium located in Brooklyn, New York, in exchange for $25,000 in cash and 3,800 shares of our common stock which was valued at $190,000. We received a deed to the property and there was no mortgage on the preparatory nor are there any liens on the property.

In March 2008, the Company entered into a rescission agreement to return the real estate that it previously held to the individual who originally transferred the property in exchange for 3,800 shares of the Company’s common stock. The original value of the real estate was $215,000 and upon the rescission was valued at $200,000. The Company has recorded a loss of $15,000 on this transaction during this period, upon transferring the real estate to the original seller and canceling the 13,800 shares.

As a result of the current real estate environment in the United States, we are currently limiting any potential acquisitions to Eastern European countries. The real estate will be sold directly by us to the extent deemed practical. If necessary, broker services will be used to expedite a given sale.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND FUTURE FINANCING NEEDS

 

We are a development stage company. We have not previously been in the energy business, or in the business of acquiring, renovating and selling or leasing real estate.

We have not established sources of revenues sufficient to fund the development of business, projected operating expenses and commitments for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2013. We have been in the development stage since our inception, March 22, 1999, have accumulated a net loss of $3,302,519 through August 31, 2012, and incurred a loss of $126,252 for the year then ended. 

RER was organized in 1999 and attempted to start a web-based marketing business for health-care products. The health-care products business had no revenue and was discontinued in 2001 and the Company remained inactive until July 22, 2005 when it commenced its real estate business. Accordingly, the current development stage has a commencement date of July 22, 2005 and all prior losses of $28,995 have been transferred to accumulated deficit. 

The Company sold its common stock in private transactions which raised $120,500 in 2006, $80,070 in 2007, $413,172 in 2008, $3,600 in 2009 and $7,500 in 2012. The Company plans to make sales of its common stock in private transactions or to borrow funds as needed to raise sufficient capital to fund the development of business, projected operating expenses and commitments. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding to develop our current business plan. 

COMPETITION

 

ENERGY AND MINING

The Company expects to concentrate the majority of its resources in oil and gas and mining by acquiring leasehold interests and either selling or farming them out to other companies for development, while retaining an over-riding royalty interest. The Company had elected to participate in the development of certain properties in Oklahoma. The Company is much smaller than most participants in this industry and has limited expertise in operating energy and mining businesses.

 

REAL ESTATE

The first competitive consideration is to locate real estate for purchase that is within the Company’s pricing limitations and is considered to be priced right for the market in that particular area. The competition for real estate is intense, and includes firms as small as one person working out of their home to multi-national conglomerates.

Once a property is acquired, the first task is to complete necessary repairs and renovations. When the property is available for sale, the major risk factor is to conclude a profitable sale. In this regard, a problem with some properties is the individuals who agree to a purchase contract may not be qualified to receive mortgage financing. The time period of removing the property from the market and then discovering that the purchaser is not mortgage qualified is costly in terms of reduced profits when a sale is concluded.

The profit potential to the Company is wholly dependent upon the ability of its officers and employees to purchase property and resell it at a price level which will provide profits to the Company. There is no assurance that these objectives will be realized. It is reasonable to assume that any property acquired and prepared for resale will eventually be sold. However, it may be that an eventual resale will be at a loss.

Because of the nature of this business there are no statistics that indicate the number of investors in the business or the financial extent of their activities. The Company will basically be in the same competitive position as any other investor seeking to purchase real estate in our anticipated price range. The Company rescinded the purchase of the real estate property it had during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 and currently is limiting any potential real estate acquisitions to Eastern European countries, due to the current real estate environment in the United States.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, APPROVAL, COMPLIANCE

 

ENERGY AND MINING

If we elect to participate directly in development of oil and gas properties, our operations are or will be subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Such regulations includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells; maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells; implementing spill prevention plans; submitting notification and receiving permits relating to the presence, use and release of certain materials incidental to oil and gas operations; and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials used in connection with drilling and production activities, surface usage and the restoration of properties upon which wells have been drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and the transporting of production. Our operations are or will be also subject to various conservation matters, including the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or pro-ration units, the number of wells which may be drilled in a unit, and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In this regard, some states allow the forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases, which may make it more difficult to develop oil and gas properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, generally limit the venting or flaring of gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratable purchase of production. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amounts of oil and gas we may be able to produce from our wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we may be able to drill.

Our business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. We plan to develop internal procedures and policies to ensure that our operations are conducted in full and substantial environmental regulatory compliance.

Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures to comply with federal and state environmental requirements.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL

 

ENERGY AND MINING

Operations on properties in which we have an interest are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws that regulate the discharge or disposal of materials or substances into the environment and otherwise are intended to protect the environment. Numerous governmental agencies issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws, which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and in some cases injunctive relief for failure to comply.

Some laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination. These laws render a person or company liable for environmental and natural resource damages, cleanup costs and, in the case of oil spills in certain states, consequential damages without regard to negligence or fault. Other laws, rules and regulations may require the rate of oil and gas production to be below the economically optimal rate or may even prohibit exploration or production activities in environmentally sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action, such as closure of inactive pits and plugging of abandoned wells, to prevent pollution from former or suspended operations.

Legislation has been proposed in the past and continues to be evaluated in Congress from time to time that would reclassify certain oil and gas exploration and production wastes as “hazardous wastes.” This reclassification would make these wastes subject to much more stringent storage, treatment, disposal and clean-up requirements, which could have a significant adverse impact on operating costs. Initiatives to further regulate the disposal of oil and gas wastes are also proposed in certain states from time to time and may include initiatives at the county, municipal and local government levels. These various initiatives could have a similar adverse impact on operating costs.

The regulatory burden of environmental laws and regulations increases our cost and risk of doing business and consequently affects our profitability. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or prior owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that transported, disposed or arranged for the transport or disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site. Persons who are or were responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is not uncommon for the federal or state government to pursue such claims.

It is also not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury or property or natural resource damages allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. Under CERCLA, certain oil and gas materials and products are, by definition, excluded from the term “hazardous substances.” At least two federal courts have held that certain wastes associated with the production of crude oil may be classified as hazardous substances under CERCLA. Similarly, under the federal Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, which governs the generation, treatment, storage and disposal of “solid wastes” and “hazardous wastes,” certain oil and gas materials and wastes are exempt from the definition of “hazardous wastes.” This exemption continues to be subject to judicial interpretation and increasingly stringent state interpretation. During the normal course of operations on properties in which we have an interest, exempt and non-exempt wastes, including hazardous wastes, that are subject to RCRA and comparable state statutes and implementing regulations are generated or have been generated in the past. The federal Environmental Protection Agency and various state agencies continue to promulgate regulations that limit the disposal and permitting options for certain hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.

6
 

We plan to establish guidelines and management systems to ensure compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations if we participate directly in the development of oil and gas resources. The existence of these controls cannot, however, guarantee total compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations. We will rely on the operator of the properties in which we have an interest to be in substantial compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the control of air emissions at all facilities on those properties. Although we plan to maintain insurance against some, but not all, of the risks described above, including insuring the costs of clean-up operations, public liability and physical damage, there is no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to cover all such costs, that the insurance will continue to be available in the future or that the insurance will be available at premium levels that justify our purchase. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations. Compliance with environmental requirements, including financial assurance requirements and the costs associated with the cleanup of any spill, could have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We do believe, however, that our operators are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, changes in environmental laws have the potential to adversely affect operations. At this time, we have no plans to make any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities.

Employees

 

It is anticipated that the only active employee of this business in the near future will be its President. All other operative functions, such as repairs and/or renovations to the real estate or acquiring energy investments will be handled by the President or independent contractors and consultants.

Item 2: PropertIES

MINING

 

The Company is currently pursuing gold, silver, copper and rare earth metals mining concessions in Romania, Bulgaria and Canada and mining leases in the United States. If successful, the Company plans to concentrate its efforts to develop these properties. At August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company held the lease for 2,100 acres of rare earth and precious metals leases in Crook County, Wyoming, respectively. There are leases for 1,280 acres pending. The rare earth and precious metals leases are approximately 5-15 miles from Bear Lodge Mountain near Sundance, Wyoming. The U.S. Geological Survey has studied Bear Lodge Mountain extensively (USGS Prof. paper #1049-D) and has estimated it contains one of the largest deposits of disseminated rare earth elements in North America. 

In addition, the Company holds the lease for uranium rights on approximately 960 acres in Laramie County, Wyoming as of August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively. The uranium rights are located on a trend approximately 25-30 miles from a proposed uranium mine in Weld County, Colorado which was estimated to have uranium reserves valued at over $500 million.

OIL AND GAS DRILLING PROSPECTS

During 2008, the Company prepaid $119,011 as estimated drilling and completion costs for a 25% working interest in three wells in Washington County, Oklahoma. Two of the wells were completed in September and October 2008 and the third well was abandoned in 2010. During 2009, the Company advanced an additional $42,000, net, to apply toward workover of three additional wells. The work on the workover wells was completed during 2010 without obtaining commercial production. Effective October 1, 2010, the Company's interest in the two producing wells were sold.

Proved Reserves and Estimated Future Net Revenue

The SEC defines proved oil and gas reserves as the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.

The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex and requires significant judgment. Our policies regarding booking reserves require proved reserves to be in compliance with the SEC definitions and guidance. With the sale of our only producing reserves effective October 1, 2010, we have no proved reserves at August 31, 2012 and 2011.

Drilling Activities

The following table summarizes the results of our development drilling activity for the years ended August 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The Company has not had any exploratory drilling activity.

The initial properties in which the Company participated involved the well bore only and did not include any acreage. The Company had the right to participate in additional wells in this prospect until the properties were sold effective October 1, 2010.

Operation of Properties

Currently, the Company does not have the infrastructure necessary to operate oil and gas properties and relies on other companies to provide operations.

Title to Properties

Title to properties is subject to contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, liens for current taxes not yet due and, in some instances, other encumbrances. We believe that such burdens do not materially detract from the value of such properties or from the respective interests therein or materially interfere with their use in the operation of the business.

As is customary in the industry, other than a preliminary review of local records, little investigation of record title is made at the time of acquisitions of undeveloped properties. Investigations, which generally include a title opinion of outside counsel, are made prior to the consummation of an acquisition of producing properties and before commencement of drilling operations on undeveloped properties.

 

MINING

The Company is currently pursuing gold, silver, copper and rare earth metals mining concessions in Romania, Bulgaria and Canada and mining leases in the United States. If successful, the Company plans to concentrate its efforts to develop these properties. At August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company held the lease for 2,100 acres of rare earth and precious metals leases in Crook County, Wyoming, respectively. There are leases for 1,280 acres pending. The rare earth and precious metals leases are approximately 5-15 miles from Bear Lodge Mountain near Sundance, Wyoming. The U.S. Geological Survey has studied Bear Lodge Mountain extensively (USGS Prof. paper #1049-D) and has estimated it contains one of the largest deposits of disseminated rare earth elements in North America. 

In addition, the Company holds the lease for uranium rights on approximately 960 acres in Laramie County, Wyoming as of August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively. The uranium rights are located on a trend approximately 25-30 miles from a proposed uranium mine in Weld County, Colorado which was estimated to have uranium reserves valued at over $500 million.

UNDEVLOPED LEASEHOLD NOT BEING AMORTIZED

These leases are separate from those included above and are being held primarily for resale while retaining an over-riding royalty interest. As of August 31, 2011, we owned oil and gas leases comprising approximately 3,000 acres in Wyoming,. At August 31, 2012, all leases covering oil and gas lease rights had been sold with an overriding royalty interest retained.

REAL ESTATE

On August 25, 2005, we acquired our first real estate property, a residential condominium located in Brooklyn, New York, in exchange for $25,000 in cash and 3,800 shares of our common stock which was valued at $190,000.

In March 2008, the Company entered into a rescission agreement to return the real estate that it previously held to the individual from whom we originally acquired the property in exchange for 3,800 shares of the Company’s common stock. The original value of the real estate was $215,000 and upon the rescission was valued at $200,000. The Company recorded a loss of $15,000 on this transaction during 2008.

(a)MARKET INFORMATION

Our $0.00001 par value per share common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) Over-The Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “ROYE.OB.” Until we began trading on September 5, 2007, there was no public market for our common stock. Previously we traded under the symbol WRLM.OB.

On August 7, 2012, the Company received approval by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting, of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting power authorizing the Board of Directors of the Company to: (i) effectuate the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, on a 1 for 500 basis and (ii) increase the authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. The stock split was effectuated on October 1, 2012 upon filing appropriate documentation with FINRA. The increase in authorized shares was completed on October 9, 2012 when the amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. All share references included herein have been adjusted as if the change took place before the date of the earliest transaction reported.

The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low daily close for our common stock as reported by the OTCBB for the two years ended August 31, 2012 and 2010. The bids reflect inter dealer prices without adjustments for retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions and may not represent actual transactions.

The OTCBB is a quotation service sponsored by the NASD that displays real-time quotes and volume information in over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity securities. The OTCBB does not impose listing standards or requirements, does not provide automatic trade executions and does not maintain relationships with quoted issuers. A company traded on the OTCBB may face loss of market makers and lack of readily available bid and ask prices for its stock and may experience a greater spread between the bid and ask price of its stock and a general loss of liquidity with its stock. In addition, certain investors have policies against purchasing or holding OTC securities. Both trading volume and the market value of our securities have been, and will continue to be, materially affected by the trading on the OTCBB.

PENNY STOCK CONSIDERATIONS

Our shares will be “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, or annual income exceeding $100,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:

 

1Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
2Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
3Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
4Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act. Discussions containing such forward-looking statements may be found throughout this statement. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the matters set forth in this statement.

Oil and gas sales

The Company had $17,000 in oil and gas lease sales in 2012 and none in 2011.

Costs and expenses

Costs and expenses consist of the following for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

    2012    2011 
Cost of leases sold  $13,260   $—   
Lease operating expense   —      504 
Non-cash compensation   55,986    175,309 
Other selling, general and administrative expense   71,761    85,268 
   $141,007   $261,081 

 

Cost of leases sold includes the balance of the Company’s capitalized costs associated with unproved properties not being amortized under the full cost method.

Lease operating expense, production taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization relate to the oil and gas revenue which ceased in 2010.

Non-cash compensation includes $55,986 and $175,309 in 2012 and 2011, respectively, in compensation to consultants pursuant to consulting agreements. The agreements cover periods ranging from 2.5 months to 16.5 months and the related fair value of the shares and options are being amortized over the life of the agreements.

Other selling, general and administrative expense decreased from $85,268 in 2011 to $71,761 in 2012. The decrease includes a decrease in accounting and auditing of $5,953, a decrease in bad debt expense of $9,619, a decrease in legal and professional costs of $8,022, a decrease in website expense of $5,988 and an increase in cash consulting fees of $26,429.

Other expense (income):

Other expense (income) consists of the following for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

    2012    2011 
Interest expense  $8,497   $18,063 
Interest income from related parties   (6,252)   (8,727)
   $2,245   $9,336 

Interest expense decreased in 2012 from 2011, primarily due to the 2011 amount including debt with a higher average interest rate. 

Interest income was accrued on the stock subscription receivables (related parties) in 2012 and 2011.

Going Concern Factors—Liquidity

 

We are a development stage company. We have not previously been in the energy business or in the business of acquiring, renovating and selling or leasing real estate.

 

We have not established sources of revenues sufficient to fund the development of business, projected operating expenses and commitments for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2012. The Company, has accumulated a net loss of $3,302,519 through August 31, 2012, ($28,995 in an earlier development stage business and $3,273,524 in the current development stage) and incurred losses of $126,252 for the year then ended.

RER was organized in 1999 and attempted to start a web-based marketing business for health-care products. The health-care products business had no revenue and was discontinued in 2001 and the Company remained inactive until July 22, 2005 when it commenced its real estate business. Accordingly, the current development stage has a commencement date of July 22, 2005 and all prior losses of $28,995 have been transferred to accumulated deficit.

 The Company sold its common stock in private transactions which raised $120,500 in 2006, $80,070 in 2007, $413,172 in 2008, $3,600 in 2009 and $7,500 in 2012. The Company plans to make sales of its common stock in private transactions or to borrow funds as needed to raise sufficient capital to fund the development of business, projected operating expenses and commitments. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding to develop our current business plan. 

New Accounting Standards

 

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results. See Note 1 to the financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR 60”), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition our most critical accounting policies are discussed below. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. 

12
 

REVENUE RECOGNITION – We have derived our revenue from sale of mineral interests and in the future will predominately derive our revenue from the sale of produced crude oil and natural gas. Revenue is recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. We receive payment from one to three months after delivery. At the end of each month, we estimate the amount of production delivered to purchasers and the price we will receive. Variances between our estimated revenue and actual payment are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, the differences should be insignificant.

 

FULL COST METHOD OF ACCOUNTING – We account for our oil and natural gas operations using the full cost method of accounting. Under this method, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and cost of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. All of our properties are currently located within the continental United States.

 

OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVE QUANTITIES – Reserve quantities and the related estimates of future net cash flows affect our periodic calculations of depletion and impairment of our oil and natural gas properties. Proved oil and natural gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future periods from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Reserve quantities and future cash flows included in this Annual Report are prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC and FASB. The accuracy of our reserve estimates is a function of:

 

1The quality and quantity of available data;
2The accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and
3The judgments of the person preparing the estimates.

 

Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, all of which may differ substantially from actual results, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. We will make changes to depletion rates and impairment calculations in the same period that changes in reserve estimates are made.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and estimated future costs of site restoration, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using our estimate of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined.

IMPAIRMENT OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES – We review the value of our oil and natural gas properties whenever management judges that events and circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value of properties may not be recoverable. We provide for impairments on undeveloped property when we determine that the property will not be developed or a permanent impairment in value has occurred. Under the full cost method the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% (the “Ceiling Limitation”). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated lease operating expenses, development costs, and certain production-related taxes are deducted. In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs in effect at the time of the calculation are held constant indefinitely, except for changes that are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. The net book value is compared to the ceiling limitation on a quarterly and yearly basis. The excess, if any, of the net book value above the ceiling limitation is charged to expense in the period in which it occurs and is not subsequently reinstated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors

Royal Energy Resources, Inc.

(formerly World Marketing, Inc.)

(a development stage company)

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Royal Energy Resources, Inc (formerly World Marketing, Inc.) (a development stage company) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 and the period from inception (July 22, 2005) through August 31, 2012 and the statement of stockholders’ equity for the period from inception (July 22, 2005) through August 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Royal Energy Resources, Inc.., (formerly World Marketing, Inc.) (a development stage company) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 and the period from inception (July 22, 2005) through August 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, and has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

AUGUST 31, 2012

 

 

 

1ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

These financial statements include the accounts of Royal Energy Resources, Inc. (“RER”) (formerly known as World Marketing, Inc. ("WMI"). RER is a development stage enterprise within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Topic 915.

 RER was organized in 1999 and attempted to start a web-based marketing business for health-care products. The health-care products business had no revenue and was discontinued in 2001 and the Company remained inactive until July 22, 2005 when it commenced its real estate business. Accordingly, the current development stage has a commencement date of July 22, 2005 and all prior losses of $28,995 have been transferred to accumulated deficit.

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Company's management, events that have occurred after August 31, 2012, up until the issuance of the financial statements, which occurred on December 13, 2012.

On August 7, 2012, the Company received approval by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting, of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting power authorizing the Board of Directors of the Company to: (i) effectuate the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, on a 1 for 500 basis and (ii) increase the authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. The stock split was effectuated on October 1, 2012 upon filing appropriate documentation with FINRA. The increase in authorized shares was completed on October 9, 2012 when the amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. All share references included herein have been adjusted as if the change took place before the date of the earliest transaction reported.

Organization and nature of business

RER is a Delaware corporation which was incorporated on March 22, 1999, under the name Webmarketing, Inc. ("Webmarketing"). On July 7, 2004, the Company revived its charter and changed its name from Webmarketing to World Marketing, Inc. In December 2007 the Company changed its name to Royal Energy Resources, Inc.

In 2011, the Company began pursuing gold, silver, copper and rare earth metals mining concessions in Romania, Bulgaria and Canada and mining leases in the United States. 

At the end of August 2006, the Company began acquiring oil and gas and uranium leases and has since resold some of its leases and retained an overriding royalty interest. During 2008 the Company prepaid the estimated drilling and completion costs for interests in three oil & gas drilling prospects in Washington County, Oklahoma. Two of the wells were completed in September and October 2008 and the third well was abandoned after testing in 2010. During 2009, the Company advanced another $42,000, net, to apply toward workover of three additional wells. All workover attempts were abandoned in 2010. Effective October 1, 2010, the Company sold its interest in its remaining proved reserves.

On July 22, 2005, the Company began selling its common stock to obtain the funds necessary to begin implementation of its new business plan. The primary objective of the new business plan was to acquire, make necessary renovations and resell both residential and commercial real estate. The Company expected to acquire real estate using cash, mortgage financing or its common stock, or any combination thereof, and anticipated that the majority of the properties acquired would be in the New York City area. The real estate would be sold directly by the Company to the extent deemed practical. If necessary, broker services will be used to expedite a given sale. The Company rescinded the purchase of the real estate property it had during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 and currently is limiting any potential real estate acquisitions to Eastern European countries, due to the current real estate environment in the United States.

Webmarketing attempted to establish a web-based marketing business for health care products from its inception in 1999 until 2001. However, the Company did not establish any revenues and discontinued these operations in 2001.

Going Concern 

The Company has not established sources of revenues sufficient to fund the development of business, projected operating expenses and commitments for fiscal year 2012. The Company, has accumulated a net loss of $3,302,519 through August 31, 2012, ($28,995 in an earlier development stage business and $3,273,524 in the current development stage) and incurred losses of $126,252 for the year then ended.

RER was organized in 1999 and attempted to start a web-based marketing business for health-care products. The health-care products business had no revenue and was discontinued in 2001 and the Company remained inactive until July 22, 2005 when it commenced its real estate business. Accordingly, the current development stage has a commencement date of July 22, 2005 and all prior losses of $28,995 have been transferred to accumulated deficit.

 In March 2006, the Company sold 1,300 shares of its common stock for $65,000 to provide a portion of the cash required to purchase its first real estate investment. Subsequently, the Company continued to sell its common stock to raise capital to continue operations. In the previous fiscal year, the Company revised its business plan, rescinded its real estate purchase and began investing in energy leases and oil and gas drilling prospects. However, the energy business has a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funding to develop the Company's current business plan.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of oil and gas leases is recognized in accordance with the full cost method of accounting.

 

Oil and gas production income will be recognized when the product is delivered to the purchaser. We will receive payment from one to three months after delivery. At the end of each month, we will estimate the amount of production delivered to purchasers and the price we will receive. Variances between our estimated revenue and actual payment are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences should be insignificant.

Revenue from real estate sales is recognized when the related property is subject to a binding contract and all significant obligations have been satisfied.

 

Stock option plans

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The accounting literature covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its options. However, the Black-Scholes option valuation model provides the best available estimate for this purpose.

There are no options outstanding at August 31, 2012.

 

Property and equipment

 

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations. Under this method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions that would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either proven reserves are found or it has determined that such properties are impaired. The Company had $8,462 in capitalized costs relating to unevaluated properties and leases at August 31, 2011 and none at August 31, 2012. As properties are evaluated, the related costs would be transferred to proven oil and natural gas properties using full cost accounting. There are no capitalized costs for proved properties as of August 31, 2012 and 2011.

25
 

Under the full cost method the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% (the “Ceiling Limitation”). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated lease operating expenses, development costs, and certain production-related taxes are deducted. In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs in effect at the time of the calculation are held constant indefinitely, except for changes that are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. The net book value is compared to the ceiling limitation on a quarterly and yearly basis. The excess, if any, of the net book value above the ceiling limitation is charged to expense in the period in which it occurs and is not subsequently reinstated.

 The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its non-oil and gas long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. No impairments of other assets were recorded in 2012 or 2011.

Depreciation and amortization

All capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties and equipment, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on total proved reserves. Depreciation of other equipment is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty-five years.

Natural gas sales and gas imbalances

The Company follows the entitlement method of accounting for natural gas sales, recognizing as revenues only its net interest share of all production sold. Any amount attributable to the sale of production in excess of or less than the Company’s net interest is recorded as a gas balancing asset or liability. At August 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no natural gas imbalances

Investments in real estate

Costs associated with the acquisition, development and construction of real estate properties are capitalized when incurred. The carrying value of the properties will be reviewed, at least annually, for impairment. In the event the property is leased, depreciation will be recorded based upon a thirty-year life. The Company rescinded the purchase of the real estate property it had during the quarter ended May 31, 2008.

Oil and natural gas reserve estimates

Proved reserves, estimated future net revenues and the present value of our reserves are estimated based upon a combination of historical data and estimates of future activity. The reserve estimates are used in calculating depletion, depreciation and amortization and in the assessment of the Company’s Ceiling Limitation. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural gas reserves which may affect the amount at which oil and natural gas properties are recorded. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company had no proved reserves at August 31, 2012 and 2011.

Income taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, and tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Earnings (loss) per common share

The Company is required to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potential dilutive shares outstanding. At August 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Credit risk

In 2012 and 2011, the Company had cash deposits in certain banks that at times may have exceeded the maximum insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company monitors the financial condition of the banks and has experienced no losses on these accounts.

 

26
 

Contingencies 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Company management and its legal counsel assess such contingencies related to legal proceeding that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probably that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or if probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable would be disclosed.

Asset retirement obligations

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is required to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the associated retirement costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company determines its asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of the estimated cash flows related to the liability. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability would be recorded in the statement of operations. At August 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no proved producing properties and no asset retirement obligation.

 

Fair value determination

Financial instruments consist of cash, marketable securities, promissory notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short-term nature or the current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of October 31, 2012, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Fiscal years

The year ended August 31, 2012 is referred to herein as 2012, the year ended August 31, 2011 is referred to herein as 2011 and the year ended August 31, 2010 is referred to herein as 2010.

MINING

 

The Company is currently pursuing gold, silver, copper and rare earth metals mining concessions in Romania, Bulgaria and Canada and mining leases in the United States. If successful, the Company plans to concentrate its efforts to develop these properties. At August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company held the lease for 2,100 acres of rare earth and precious metals leases in Crook County, Wyoming, respectively. There are leases for 1,280 acres pending. The rare earth and precious metals leases are approximately 5-15 miles from Bear Lodge Mountain near Sundance, Wyoming. The U.S. Geological Survey has studied Bear Lodge Mountain extensively (USGS Prof. paper #1049-D) and has estimated it contains one of the largest deposits of disseminated rare earth elements in North America.

In addition, the Company holds the lease for uranium rights on approximately 960 acres in Laramie County, Wyoming as of August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively. The uranium rights are located on a trend approximately 25-30 miles from a proposed uranium mine in Weld County, Colorado which was estimated to have uranium reserves valued at over $500 million.

 

UNDEVELOPED LEASEHOLD NOT BEING AMORTIZED

 

The Company has been the successful bidder in United States Government auctions to purchase certain oil and gas lease rights. The oil and gas leases comprised approximately 3,000 acres in Weston, Goshen, Niobrara, Converse, Campbell, Freemont, Laramie, Sublette and Platt Counties, Wyoming as of August 31, 2011. At August 31, 2012, the Company had sold all of its remaining mineral leases and retained a 1% overriding royalty interest. As of August 31, 2012, the Company had collected approximately $89,000 from sales of leases and royalty interests.

The Company is negotiating with energy companies to develop the potential resources that may be contained in these properties. The Company has entered into agreements and then sold, by assignment, the rights, title and interest in certain of these leases and retained an over-riding royalty interest. Revenue from these transactions is recorded in accordance with the requirements for full cost accounting.

 

28
 
3CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

 

The Company has a loan with an individual in the original amount of $140,000, with interest payable monthly at 15% and which was extended to January 1, 2010 and revised to be convertible into common stock at a conversion price to be reasonably agreed upon by the parties. On March 10, 2011, the Company issued 7,800 shares of its common stock to the note holder and the due date of the note with a balance of $80,000 was extended nine months, to December 10, 2011. The Company issued 42,000 shares of the Company's common stock to a group of individuals who agreed to repay the balance of the $80,000 loan. The sale of the shares is being accounted for as a stock subscription until the note is repaid. At August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the loan balance was $65,600 and $80,000, respectively.

 

4NOTES PAYABLE

 

Effective September 1, 2011, the Company exchanged accounts payable in the amount of $49,400 for two promissory notes in the same amount. The notes bear interest at 2% per annum and were due on October 31, 2011. The notes are currently past due. 

 

5INCOME TAXES

 

RER has not recorded a deferred tax benefit or expense for all prior periods through August 31, 2012, as all net deferred benefits have a full valuation allowance.

Actual income tax expense applicable to earnings before discontinued operations and income taxes is reconciled with the “normally expected” Federal income tax for the year ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 as follows:

 

    2012    2011 
           
"Normally expected" income tax benefit  $42,900   $91,900 
State income taxes less federal tax benefit   5,100    10,800 
Valuation allowance   (48,000)   (102,700)
    Actual income tax expense  $—     $—   

RER has available unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,303,000 which will expire in various periods from 2019 to 2031, some of which may be limited as to the amount available on an annual basis.

The Company’s income tax provision was computed based on the federal statutory rate and the average state rates, net of the related federal benefit. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

    2012    2011 
           
Net operating loss carryforward  $1,074,900   $1,206,900 
Valuation allowance   (1,074,900)   (1,206,900)
    Total  $—     $—

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting. 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 the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of August 31, 2012. Our management has determined that, as of August 31, 2012, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

(b)Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

(c)Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with the United States' generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as set forth in its Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 31, 2012.

This annual report does not include an audit or attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Our management's report was not subject to audit or attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Item 12: Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

(a)SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

 

The table below lists the beneficial ownership of the Company’s voting securities by each person known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of such securities. As of August 31, 2012, there were 179,527 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending or anticipated arrangements that may cause a change in control.

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. We believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. There are currently no outstanding convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights.
