Red Mountain Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Organization

 

Red Mountain Resources, Inc. is a growth-oriented energy company engaged in the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties in established basins with demonstrable prolific producing zones. Currently, the Company has established acreage positions and production primarily in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico and the onshore Gulf Coast of Texas. The Company’s focus is to grow production and reserves by acquiring and developing an inventory of long-life, low risk drilling opportunities in and around producing oil and natural gas properties. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Red Mountain” and “Company” refer to Red Mountain Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

2. Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These principles assume that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $6.9 million during the six months ended November 30, 2012. At November 30, 2012, the outstanding principal amount of the Company’s debt was $10.8 million, net of an aggregate discount of $1.0 million, and the Company had a working capital deficit of $15.7 million. Of the outstanding debt, $4.0 million is due February 14, 2013 under a senior secured promissory note payable to Hyman Belzberg, William Belzberg and Caddo Management, Inc. (collectively, the “Lenders”), and an aggregate of $3.7 million is due on demand under a line of credit and promissory note with First State Bank of Lonoke (“FSB”). The Company currently does not have sufficient funds to repay these obligations. The Company is exploring available financing options, including the sale of debt or equity. If the Company is unable to finance its operations on acceptable terms or at all, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. As a result of recurring losses from operations and a working capital deficiency, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Red Mountain Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at November 30, 2012 and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company has omitted certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures it has made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company expects for the full fiscal year. The Company has not made any changes in its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Investments in Non-Performing Debentures

 

As of November 30, 2012, the Company held debentures issued by O&G Leasing, LLC (“O&G Leasing”) with a principal amount of $1.1 million. O&G Leasing filed a voluntary petition for relief commencing bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in May 2010. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, O&G Leasing is not making interest or principal payments on the debentures. The Company’s investments in these non-performing debentures were initially recorded at cost, which the Company believes represented fair value. Management estimated cash flows expected to be collected considering the contractual terms of the debentures, the nature and estimated fair value of collateral, and other factors it deemed appropriate. The estimated fair value of the debentures at acquisition was significantly less than the contractual amounts due under the terms of the debentures.

 

7
 

 

Since, at the acquisition date, the Company expected to collect less than the contractual amounts due under the terms of the debentures based, at least in part, on the assessment of the credit quality of O&G Leasing, the debentures are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”). The difference between the contractually required payments of the loan as of the acquisition date and the total cash flows expected to be collected, or non-accretable difference, is not recognized and totaled $245,000 plus accrued interest in arrears as of November 30, 2012. 

 

Debentures are classified as non-accrual when management is unable to reasonably estimate the timing or amount of cash flows expected to be collected from the debentures or has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, all of the debentures held by the Company were on non-accrual status since O&G Leasing remains under the supervision of the bankruptcy court.

 

The Company periodically re-evaluates cash flows expected to be collected for each debenture based upon all available information as of the measurement date. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment to the debenture’s yield over its remaining life, which may result in a reclassification from non-accretable difference to accretable yield. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected are evaluated to determine whether a provision for loan loss should be established. If decreases in expected cash flows result in a decrease in the estimated fair value of the debenture below its amortized cost, the debenture is deemed to be impaired and the Company will record a provision for loan loss to write the debenture down to its estimated fair value. There were no loan losses recorded during the six months ended November 30, 2012.

 

The Company’s investments in non-performing debentures are classified as held to maturity because the Company has the intent and ability to hold the debentures for the foreseeable future.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. ASU 2011-04 became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

On December 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. Application of ASU 2011-11 is required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

4. Investment in Cross Border Resources, Inc.

 

As of November 30, 2012, the Company owned of record 6,708,096 shares of Cross Border Resources, Inc. (“Cross Border”) common stock, representing 41.5% of Cross Border’s outstanding common stock. As of November 30, 2012, these shares had a value of $6.6 million based on the $0.98 per share closing market price of Cross Border’s common stock on the OTCBB on that date. In addition, as of November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012, the Company owned warrants to acquire an additional 2,136,164 shares of Cross Border common stock. As of November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012, the warrants had a fair value of $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.25 per share and are exercisable until May 26, 2016.

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Company entered into several stock purchase and sale agreements (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) with a limited number of stockholders of Cross Border to acquire 4,111,268 shares of common stock of Cross Border in exchange for the issuance of 8,222,536 shares of the Company's common stock. As of November 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding stock purchase agreements pursuant to which it had agreed to acquire an additional 2,240,597 shares of Cross Border common stock.

 

The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model with a volatility based on the historical closing price of common stock of industry peers and the closing price of Cross Border’s common stock on the OTCBB on November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012, respectively. The changes in fair value have been recorded in unrealized gain on investment in Cross Border warrants in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In determining this valuation, the Company used the following inputs:

 

8
 

 

   November 30,   May 31, 
   2012   2012 
Market price  $0.98   $1.87 
Volatility   85%   77%
Estimated life (years)   3.5    4 
Risk-free rate   0.61%   0.67%
Dividend rate   0%   0%

  

Due to increased ownership in Cross Border during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, the Company retroactively applied the equity method of accounting to all periods presented. The difference between the Company’s gross investment of $11.9 million in Cross Border and equity share of net assets totaling $7.3 million was allocated to the Company’s investment in Cross Border’s oil and natural gas properties. The excess basis of the Company’s gross investment over the equity share of net assets is depleted each quarter based upon Cross Border’s depletion rate calculated on its oil and natural gas properties. The depletion for the six months ended November 30, 2012 was approximately $341,000.

 

Due to timing differences in the Company’s and Cross Border’s fiscal year ends and quarterly periods and due to the lack of financial information for Cross Border for the current quarterly period, the Company books its share of Cross Border’s financial activity on a two-month lag. In accordance with the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted to reflect the Company’s share of changes in Cross Border’s capital. It is further adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of Cross Border’s earnings as they occur. The Company’s share of Cross Border’s earnings also includes any other-than-temporary declines in fair value recognized during the period. Changes in the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying equity of Cross Border which result from Cross Border’s issuance of additional equity securities are recognized as increases or decreases in stockholders’ equity, net of any related tax effects. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Company recognized a $91,000 loss in its equity investment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for net loss of Cross Border for the six months ended September 30, 2012.

Less accumulated depletion and impairment   (6,292)   (4,756)
Net oil and natural gas properties capitalized costs  $21,651   $23,170

At November 30, 2012, the capitalized costs of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties included $8.2 million relating to leasehold costs of proved properties which are being amortized by the unit-of-production method using total proved reserves and $14.7 million relating to exploratory well costs and additional development costs which are being amortized by the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves.

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Company did not incur any significant exploratory drilling costs. The Company had no transfers of exploratory well costs to proved properties during the six months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

The Company recorded $411,000 of impairment related to its unproved oil and natural gas properties during the six months ended November 30, 2012 related to expiring acreage. There was no impairment for the six months ended November 30, 2011.

 

Capitalized costs related to proved oil and natural gas properties, including wells and related equipment and facilities, are evaluated for impairment based on the Company’s analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows. If undiscounted future net cash flows are insufficient to recover the net capitalized costs related to proved properties, then the Company recognizes an impairment charge in income equal to the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the properties. Estimated fair values are determined using discounted cash flow models. The discounted cash flow models include management’s estimates of future oil and natural gas production, operating and development costs and discount rates. The Company did not record any impairment charges on its proved properties for the six months ended November 30, 2012.

 

Uncertainties affect the recoverability of these costs as the recovery of the costs outlined above are dependent upon the Company obtaining and maintaining leases and achieving commercial production or sale.

 

Other Property and Equipment

7. Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value measurements are based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following fair value input hierarchy:

 

·Level 1 – quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
   
·Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates) and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
·Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The fair value input hierarchy level to which an asset or liability measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012:

Line of Credit with First State Bank

 

On June 18, 2010, Black Rock, Mr. Barksdale and Ernest Bartlett, the managing member of a shareholder of the Company, entered into a three year, $3.5 million line of credit with FSB. Loans borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the bank’s reference rate plus 275 basis points (6.0% at November 30, 2012) and are payable on demand, or if no demand is made, mature on June 18, 2013. The line of credit is secured by a lien against (i) the Company’s Villarreal, Frost Bank, Resendez and La Duquesa properties, (ii) 2,136,164 shares of Cross Border common stock owned by the Company and (iii) certain property owned by Mr. Bartlett. As co-signers, Mr. Barksdale and Mr. Bartlett are personally obligated for the repayment of borrowings under this line of credit.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the line of credit, until amounts outstanding under the line of credit are repaid, Black Rock may not, without the lender’s consent, among other things and subject to certain exceptions: (i) cease business or engage in any new line of business that is materially different from its current business; (ii) enter into any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of another entity; (iii) materially change its legal structure, management, ownership or financial condition; (iv) effect a domestication, conversion or interest exchange; (v) incur indebtedness; or (vi) sell, lease, assign, transfer or dispose of substantially all of its assets.

 

The promissory note has substantially the same events of default as the promissory note discussed below under “Notes Payable — Replacement Note and Bamco Note Receivable.” In addition, an event of default includes the removal of Mr. Barksdale as president and chief executive officer of Black Rock.

 

On June 18, 2010, Black Rock, Mr. Barksdale and Mr. Bartlett borrowed $3.5 million and issued a $3.5 million promissory note to FSB under the line of credit. Pursuant to the promissory note, the loan is payable on demand, or if no demand is made, is due on June 18, 2013. Borrowings may be repaid at any time without penalty. If FSB declares a default under the loan, interest will accrue on the principal at a rate of 18% per annum. In addition, pursuant to the promissory note, FSB will lock box all funds from net production due to Black Rock. Funds received are first applied to accrued interest, and any remaining amount of funds is applied to the outstanding principal.

 

As of November 30, 2012, the Company had $1.6 million outstanding and $1.9 million remaining available for borrowing under the line of credit, and the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the line of credit described above.

 

Convertible Notes Payable

 

November 2011 Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On November 25, 2011, we issued convertible promissory notes to Hohenplan Privatstiftung, Personalversorge der Autogrill Schweiz AG and SST Advisors, Inc. in an aggregate principal amount of $2.75 million. The convertible promissory notes are due and payable on November 25, 2013 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Prior to repayment, the holders of the convertible promissory notes have the option of converting all or any portion of the unpaid balance of the convertible promissory notes (including accrued and unpaid interest) into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution provisions if the Company issues any stock dividends, subdivides or combines its outstanding shares of common stock, or effects a reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. The beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a discount to the convertible notes payable and to additional paid-in-capital and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the convertible promissory notes. The value of the unamortized beneficial conversion feature of the three convertible promissory notes was $0.8 million as of November 30, 2012. We amortized $0.4 million of the discount to interest expense during the six months ended November 30, 2012. The Company has granted the holders piggyback registration rights and agreed to include the resale of any shares of common stock that may be received upon conversion of the promissory notes in certain future registration statements filed by the Company.

 

July 2012 Convertible Promissory Note

 

On July 30, 2012, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 to Hohenplan Privatstiftung (the “Holder”). The Note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount of the Note together with accrued but unpaid interest is due on July 30, 2013, subject to a 12-month extension at the Holder’s option. The Holder has the option of converting all or a portion of the principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock. Subject to adjustment upon certain events, the conversion price is equal to the lower of (a) $1.50 and (b) the lowest price at which the Company’s common stock is sold in an equity financing for cash after the date of the Note and prior to the maturity date. The Company has granted the Holder piggyback registration rights and agreed to include the resale of any shares of common stock that may be received upon conversion of the Note in certain future registration statements filed by the Company.

 

12
 

 

The Company has determined that the terms of the Note contain a down round provision under which the conversion price could be decreased as a result of future equity offerings at a price per share less than $1.50. Accordingly, the conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative liability and discount on note payable. The value of the discount on note payable was approximately $300,000 as of July 30, 2012. Management determined the fair value of the derivative liability using a probability weighted Black-Scholes option model with a volatility of 64% based on the closing price of common stock of industry peers, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB on the date of issuance, and a term of 0.66 years. We amortized approximately $100,000 of this discount to interest expense during the six months ended November 30, 2012. The derivative liability related to the conversion feature was valued at approximately $209,000 as of November 30, 2012. In connection with the issuance of the Note, we incurred approximately $210,000 of debt issuance costs related to the issuance to a broker of 125,000 shares of our common stock with a value of $161,000, and warrants to purchase 83,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, with a value of $49,000. The warrants expire on July 30, 2015. The shares issued to the broker were valued using the closing market price of our common stock on the debt issuance date, July 30, 2012. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, we amortized approximately $65,000 of the capitalized debt issuance costs to interest expense.

 

Notes Payable

 

Senior Secured Promissory Note

 

In November 2011, we issued a $4.0 million senior secured promissory note dated November 16, 2011 payable to the Lenders. The senior secured promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, is payable monthly and was set to mature on the earlier of November 16, 2012 or the date the senior secured promissory note was terminated, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration. On November 16, 2012, the Company and the Lenders entered into Amendment No. 1 to the promissory note to extend the maturity date to February 14, 2013. The Company may not prepay the promissory note prior to February 14, 2013, unless the Company also pays the Lenders on the date of the prepayment the amount of interest that would have accrued on the promissory note from the date of prepayment to, but not including, February 14, 2013. Upon an event of default, interest will accrue on all outstanding principal and interest at a rate of 18% above the per annum rate otherwise applicable.

 

All of the Company’s obligations are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Black Rock and RMR Operating, LLC, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The promissory note is the Company’s senior obligation and is secured by: (i) second priority real property liens against its Villarreal, Frost Bank, Resendez and La Duquesa properties; (ii) a first priority real property lien against all of its other properties at November 16, 2011; and (iii) a stock pledge agreement with the Lenders, dated November 30, 2011, with respect to a second lien on 2,136,164 shares of Cross Border common stock owned by the Company.

 

The promissory note contains customary non-financial covenants governing the conduct of the Company’s business and the maintenance of its properties.

 

Under the terms of the senior secured promissory note, for so long as the promissory note is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from incurring any future indebtedness secured by all or any portion of the collateral without the prior written consent of Lenders.

 

An event of default under the senior secured promissory note includes, among other things: (i) failure to make payments when due; (ii) any representation or warranty proves false; (iii) failure to comply with any covenant; (iv) violation of any provision of the note; (v) bankruptcy or insolvency; (vi) the Lenders determine in their sole and absolute discretion that the promissory note or related documents shall, for any reason, fail or cease to create a valid and perfected lien on or security interest in any or all of the collateral or the collateral shall be compromised, encumbered, cancelled, expired, terminated or otherwise rescinded; (vii) the Lenders determine in their sole but reasonable discretion that the Company is unable in the ordinary course of business to pay its debts as they are due or its debts exceed the fair market value of all of its assets and property; or (viii) a default under any of the Company’s material agreements.

 

As of November 30, 2012, the Company had $4.0 million outstanding under the senior secured promissory note and was in compliance with all of the covenants under the senior secured promissory note described above.

Replacement Note and Bamco Note Receivable

 

As a condition to the Company’s June 2011 reverse merger with Black Rock and The StoneStreet Group, Inc. (“StoneStreet”), FSB required Black Rock to assume and acquire a loan of $2.7 million from FSB (the “Bamco Note Receivable”) that had previously been issued by Bamco Gas, LLC (“Bamco”). Bamco is in receivership, and Mr. Barksdale is the receiver. As a result, the note payable from Bamco to FSB was cancelled, and Black Rock executed a new promissory note to FSB (the “Replacement Note”), which became the only outstanding note due to FSB related to Bamco. Due to the uncertainty about collection or realizing the value of the Bamco Note Receivable, management deemed it necessary to fully impair the value of the Bamco Note Receivable, which was recorded as a loss on note receivable of $2.7 million in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended August 31, 2011. No interest income was recognized on the Bamco Note Receivable.

 

The Replacement Note accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum. If FSB declares a default, interest will accrue on the principal at a rate of 18% per annum. The Replacement Note is payable on demand, or if no demand is made, must be paid on June 29, 2014. In addition, the Company must make a principal payment of $540,000 on June 29, 2013. The note may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

 

The Replacement Note is secured by: (i) a pledge of all of the common stock of Black Rock; (ii) 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company held by StoneStreet and (iii) a lien against the Company’s Villarreal, Frost Bank, Resendez and La Duquesa properties. As co-signers, Mr. Barksdale and Mr. Bartlett are personally obligated for the repayment of borrowings under the Replacement Note.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a commercial loan agreement related to the Replacement Note, until amounts outstanding under the loan are repaid, Black Rock may not, without the lender’s consent, among other things and subject to certain exceptions: (i) cease business or engage in any new line of business that is materially different from its current business; (ii) enter into any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of another entity; (iii) materially change its legal structure, management, ownership or financial condition; (iv) effect a domestication, conversion or interest exchange; (v) incur indebtedness; or (vi) sell, lease, assign, transfer or dispose of substantially all of its assets.

 

An event of default includes, among other events, the following occurrences by any of Black Rock, Mr. Barksdale or Mr. Bartlett: (i) failure to make payment when due; (ii) insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor; (iii) the death or declaration of incompetency of any co-signer or majority owner or partner; (iv) merger; (v) dissolution; (vi) reorganization; (vii) name change; (viii) failure to perform any condition or keep any promise or covenant under the loan agreement; (ix) default of any other agreements with FSB; (x) a misrepresentation in any verbal or written statement or financial information; (xi) failure to satisfy or appeal a judgment; (xii) use of the property securing the loan in a manner or for a purpose that threatens confiscation by a legal authority; (xiii) a transfer of all or substantially all of Black Rock or the co-signer’s property; (xiv) a determination by FSB that the value of its security has declined or is impaired; (xv) a material change in business, ownership, management or financial condition; or (xvi) FSB’s determination in good faith that its prospect for payment are impaired for any reason.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Replacement Note, FSB will lock box all funds from net production due to Black Rock. Funds received are first applied to accrued interest, and any remaining amount of funds is applied to the outstanding principal.

 

As of November 30, 2012, the Company had $2.1 million outstanding under the Replacement Note and was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Replacement Note described above. Because the Replacement Note has a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock box arrangement it has been classified as a current liability.

 

Short-Term Notes Payable

 

On October 3, 2012, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 to Veladen Investments Corp., LLC (the “Veladen Note”). The Veladen Note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount of the Veladen Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest, is due on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2013 or (ii) the closing of a debt or equity financing of $2.0 million or more. Upon an event of default, interest will accrue on all outstanding principal and interest at a rate of 15% per annum. On October 15, 2012 and November 6, 2012, we issued promissory notes in the principal amount of $100,000 to each of DIT Equity Holdings, LLC and RMS Advisors, Inc., respectively, under the same terms as the Veladen Note (collectively with the Veladen Note, the “Short-Term Notes”). Each of the Short-Term Notes was repaid in December 2012 from the proceeds of an amended and restated senior secured promissory note. See Note 13-Subsequent Events.

The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are exercisable until July 30, 2015. On the date of issuance, the common stock was valued at approximately $161,000, and the warrants were valued at $49,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB on that date.

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Company entered into Debenture Purchase Agreements with holders of 2009A and 2009B Debentures (collectively, the “2009 Debentures”) of O&G Leasing for the purchase of an aggregate of $6.1 million principal amount of 2009 Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in exchange for the issuance of 5.6 million shares of common stock of the Company. As of November 30, 2012, the Company had issued 1,000,326 shares of its common stock in exchange for $1.1 million of 2009 Debentures. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB on the various dates of issuance, the 1,000,326 shares of common stock issued as consideration for the 2009 Debentures had a value of $879,000. As of November 30, 2012, the 2009 Debentures were valued at $830,000.

The aggregate value of the common stock issued during the three and six months ended November 30, 2012 was $0.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Management determined the fair value based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB on the dates of issuance.

 

11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

The Company may from time to time be involved in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, or breach of contract incidental to the operations of its business. The Company is not currently involved in any litigation that it believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

 

Environmental Issues

 

The Company is engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and production and may become subject to liabilities related to environmental clean up of well sites or other environmental restoration related to the drilling and operation of oil and natural gas wells. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time the wells were drilled or during the time the wells were operated. If environmental clean up or restoration liabilities arise, the Company could be responsible for them. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any liability that exists, related to environmental clean up or restoration or the violation of any rules or regulations relating thereto.

 

Leases

 

As of November 30, 2012, the Company rented various office spaces in Dallas, Texas; Midland, Texas; and Lafayette, Louisiana under non-cancelable lease agreements. In the aggregate, these leases cover approximately 16,884 square feet at a cost of approximately $27,000 per month and have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 month to 49 months. The following is a schedule by fiscal year of future minimum rental payments required under these lease arrangements as of November 30, 2012:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Red Mountain,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Red Mountain Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Black Rock Capital, Inc. (“Black Rock”) and RMR Operating, LLC (“RMR Operating”).

 

Overview

 

We are a growth-oriented energy company engaged in the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties in established basins with demonstrable prolific producing zones. Currently, we have established acreage positions and production primarily in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico and the onshore Gulf Coast of Texas. Our focus is to grow production and reserves by acquiring and developing an inventory of long-life, low risk drilling opportunities in and around producing oil and natural gas properties.

 

As of January 11, 2013, we owned of record 7,615,241 shares of Cross Border Resources, Inc. (“Cross Border”) common stock, representing 47.1% of Cross Border’s outstanding common stock. In addition, as of January 11, 2013, we owned warrants to acquire an additional 2,136,164 shares of Cross Border common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.25 per share and are exercisable until May 26, 2016. As of January 11, 2013, we had outstanding stock purchase and sale agreements with a limited number of stockholders of Cross Border pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire an additional 5,037,869 shares of Cross Border common stock. As of September 30, 2012, Cross Border had approximately 866,000 gross (294,000 net) acres, of which 25,000 net acres were located in the Permian Basin. The following disclosures about our financial results do not include Cross Border’s financial results.

 

History

 

Red Mountain was originally formed in January 2010 as Teaching Time, Inc. in order to design, develop, and market instructional products and services for the corporate, education, government, and healthcare e-learning industries. In March 2011, Teaching Time, Inc. determined to enter into oil and natural gas exploration, development and production and changed its name to Red Mountain Resources, Inc. to better reflect that plan. On March 22, 2011, we entered into a Plan of Reorganization and Share Exchange Agreement, as amended on June 17, 2011 and June 20, 2011 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), with Black Rock Capital, LLC and The StoneStreet Group, Inc. (“StoneStreet”), the sole shareholder of Black Rock Capital, LLC. Alan W. Barksdale, our current President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, was the president and the sole member of Black Rock Capital, LLC and the sole owner and the president of StoneStreet. On June 22, 2011, we completed a reverse merger pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement in which we issued 27,000,000 shares of common stock to StoneStreet in exchange for 100% of the interests in Black Rock Capital, LLC. Concurrently with the closing, we retired 225,000,000 shares of common stock for no additional consideration. In connection with the reverse merger, the management of Black Rock Capital, LLC became our management.

 

While we were the legal acquirer in the reverse merger, Black Rock Capital, LLC was treated as the accounting acquirer and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization. As a result, at the closing, the historical financial statements of Black Rock became those of the Company.

 

From inception through May 2010, Black Rock had no operations. Effective June 1, 2010, Black Rock purchased two separate oil and natural gas fields out of the bankruptcy estate of MSB Energy, Inc. located in Zapata County and Duval County in the onshore Gulf Coast of Texas. Effective May 31, 2011, Black Rock acquired our current interests in the Madera Prospect. Effective July 1, 2011, Black Rock Capital, LLC was converted to Black Rock Capital, Inc., and our 100% membership interest in Black Rock Capital, LLC became an interest in all of the outstanding common stock of Black Rock.

Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Operational Update

 

We did not drill any new wells during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. All of our wells in the Madera prospect, including our highest producing well, the Madera 24-2H, were shut in for 44 days during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due to capacity constraints at the gas processing plant that receives the gas from the Madera wells. On November 26, 2012, we were approved to flare gas at those wells in order to keep crude oil from those wells flowing while the problems at the gas plant are being resolved. In preparation for further development of the Madera prospect, we built locations for three additional wells. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we received approval to drill the next well in the prospect, the Madera 24-3H, and plan to spud that well in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Additionally, on November 9, 2012, we received regulatory approval to convert the Madera 25-1 well to a salt water disposal well, which we expect will significantly reduce our costs to dispose of water.

 

Bamco Asset Acquisition

 

On December 10, 2012, we acquired certain assets of the receivership estate of Bamco Gas, LLC (“Bamco”), mainly consisting of working interests and claims and causes of action in or relating to certain oil and natural gas exploration projects in Duval, Johnson and Zapata Counties in Texas. In consideration for the assets, we issued 2,375,000 shares of common stock to the indenture trustee for certain debentures of Bamco, and Black Rock executed a waiver and release of a certain claim held by Black Rock against the receivership estate of Bamco.

 

Planned Operations

 

We plan to spend between $10.0 million and $15.0 million during the remainder of fiscal 2013 to drill and complete wells or re-enter and complete wells, most of which will be spent in the Permian Basin. Our primary focus is on the Madera Prospect where we plan to drill two wells (1.1 net wells) and on the Cowden Prospect where we plan to drill up to three gross wells (2.75 net wells) during fiscal 2013. We also plan to drill one gross and net well on the Jackson Bough C Prospect and one gross and net well on the East and West Ranch Prospects. We currently believe that cash on hand and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund our fiscal 2013 development program and are seeking funding from third parties. If we do not raise additional funds, we may be required to curtail our fiscal 2013 development program.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 and are of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. These estimates are based on historical experience, information received from third parties, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

Results of Operations—Three Months Ended November 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended November 30, 2011

 

Revenues and Production

 

Oil and Natural Gas Production. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, we had net production sold of 30,540 barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”), compared to net production sold of 36,586 Boe during the three months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in net production was primarily attributable to production decline in the Villarreal field, which was partially offset by oil production from the Madera field. Our highest producing well, the Madera 24-2H well, was shut-in for 44 days during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 because the gas plant that receives gas from this well was shut down. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, 24.5% of our production was oil and 75.5% was natural gas, compared to 99.1% natural gas for the three months ended November 30, 2011.

 

Oil and Natural Gas Sales. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, we had oil and natural gas sales of $1.1 million, as compared to $0.9 million during the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in oil and natural gas sales was primarily attributable to the different product mix, with higher oil production from the Madera 24-2H well and from the Cowden and Pawnee prospects.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Production Taxes. Production taxes were approximately $19,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to approximately $48,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in production taxes was attributable to the different product mix from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and associated tax rates. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we primarily sold gas produced in South Texas, which qualified for tax incentives. The tax incentives were effective on the first date of production and resulted in decreased taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Lease Operating Expenses. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, we incurred lease operating expenses of $0.2 million, as compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in lease operating expenses was attributable to an increase in the number of operating wells and associated expenditures such as salt water disposal as well as workover expenditures.

 

Natural Gas Transportation and Marketing Expenses. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, natural gas transportation and marketing expenses were approximately $35,000, as compared to approximately $57,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in natural gas transportation and marketing expenses was attributable to the decrease in sales of natural gas.

 

21
 

 

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment was $0.6 million, as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment was attributable to a higher depletion rate as a result of declining reserves on certain of our producing properties.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expense was due primarily to an increase in salaries and employee-related costs as a result of increased headcount and higher rent associated with the leasing of additional office space. Approximately $60,000 of acquisition related expenses were incurred during the 2012 period.

 

Other Expense. Other expense was $2.0 million for the three months ended November 30, 2012 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in other expense was due primarily to a $1.0 million increase in non-cash unrealized loss on investment in Cross Border warrants, a $0.3 million increase in equity in loss of Cross Border and a $0.5 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in loss on fair value of warrant liability.

 

Results of Operations—Six Months Ended November 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended November 30, 2011

 

Revenues and Production

 

Oil and Natural Gas Production. During the six months ended November 30, 2012, we had net production sold of 66,426 Boe compared to net production sold of 83,093 Boe during the six months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in net production was primarily attributable to a decrease in natural gas produced from our South Texas wells as a result of natrual declines, offset by new oil production from our New Mexico oil wells. Additionally, the Madera 24-2H well was shut-in for a total of 64 days during the period because the gas plant that takes our gas was offline. We are currently looking for another plant for the gas and have been approved to flare gas so that sales of crude oil can continue. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, 29.5% of our production was oil and 70.5% was natural gas, compared to 99.4% natural gas for the six months ended November 30, 2011.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Production Taxes. Production taxes were unchanged at $0.1 million for the six months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Lease Operating Expenses. During the six months ended November 30, 2012, we incurred lease operating expenses of $0.6 million, as compared to $0.2 million during the six months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in lease operating expenses was attributable to an increase in the number of operating wells and associated expenditures, such as salt water disposal as well as workover expenditures.

 

Natural Gas Transportation and Marketing Expenses. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, natural gas transportation and marketing expenses were approximately $59,000, as compared to approximately $110,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in natural gas transportation and marketing expenses was attributable to the decrease in sales of natural gas.

 

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment was $2.0 million, as compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment was attributable to the impairment of certain expiring acreage and to a higher depletion rate as a result of declining reserves on certain of our producing properties.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense was $4.1 million for the six months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended November 30, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expense was due primarily to an increase in salaries and employee-related costs as a result of increased headcount, higher rent associated with the leasing of additional office space, and higher professional fees associated with debt and equity offerings and a potential acquisition. Approximately $1.0 million of acquisition related expenses were incurred during the 2012 period.

 

22
 

 

Other Expense. Other expense was $2.5 million for the six months ended November 30, 2012 as compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in other expense was due primarily to a $2.7 million decrease in unrealized non-cash loss on note receivable and a $1.0 million decrease in loss on fair value of warrant liability, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in interest expense and incurring a $0.7 million loss on investment in Cross Border warrants in the six months ended November 30, 2012 as compared to a $0.5 million gain in the six months ended November 30, 2011.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

Our primary source of liquidity for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was cash flow from the issuance of unsecured promissory notes. Our ability to fund planned capital expenditures and to make acquisitions depends upon our future operating performance, availability of borrowings under our line of credit and availability of equity and debt financing, which is affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our cash flow from operations is mainly influenced by the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production and the quantity of oil and natural gas we produce. Prices for oil and natural gas are affected by national and international economic and political conditions, national and global supply and demand for hydrocarbons, seasonal weather influences and other factors beyond our control.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Most of our capital expenditures are for the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas reserves. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we had capital expenditures of approximately $39,000 for the acquisition and exploration of oil and natural gas properties and approximately $9,000 for other property and equipment. We anticipate capital expenditures of between $10.0 million and $5.0 million for the remainder of fiscal 2013. See “— Planned Operations” for more information about our planned capital expenditures.

 

Liquidity

 

At November 30, 2012, we had $0.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.1 million outstanding under various promissory notes and $2.8 million outstanding under various convertible promissory notes, net of an aggregate discount of $1.0 million. At November 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $15.7 million compared to a working capital deficit of $10.4 million at November 30, 2011.

 

We currently do not have sufficient funds for our planned exploration or development activities for fiscal 2013 and will need additional capital to continue our operations beyond February 14, 2013, or sooner if demand for payment is made under either our line of credit or promissory note with First State Bank of Lonoke (“FSB”). We are exploring available financing options, including the sale of debt or equity. If we are unable to finance our operations on acceptable terms or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Financings

 

On July 30, 2012, we issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1.0 million to Hohenplan Privatstiftung (the “Holder”). The Note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount of the Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest, is due on July 30, 2013, subject to a 12-month extension at the Holder’s option.

 

On October 3, 2012, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 to Veladen Investments Corp., LLC. The note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount of the promissory note, together with accrued but unpaid interest, is due on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2013 or (ii) the closing of a debt or equity financing of $2.0 million or more. Upon an event of default, interest will accrue on all outstanding principal and interest at a rate of 15% per annum.

 

23
 

 

On October 15, 2012 and November 6, 2012, we issued promissory notes in the principal amount of $100,000 each to DIT Equity Holdings, LLC and RMS Advisors, Inc. The notes have the same terms as the note issued to Veladen Investments Corp., LLC.

 

On December 10, 2012, we entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hyman Belzberg (“HB”), William Belzberg (“WB”), Caddo Management, Inc. (“Caddo”) and RMS Advisors, Inc. (“RMS” and together with HB, WB and Caddo, collectively “New Lenders”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we and the New Lenders agreed to modify that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note of Red Mountain Resources, Inc., dated as of November 16, 2011, in the aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million made by the Company in favor of HB, WB and Caddo (“Original Lenders”), as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Senior Secured Promissory Note of Red Mountain Resources, Inc., dated November 16, 2012 (as amended, the “Original Note”) to increase the amount of the Original Note to $6.0 million. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we and the New Lenders entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note of Red Mountain Resources, Inc. (the “Amended and Restated Note”), dated as of December 10, 2012, in the aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million. The Company used $0.4 million of the proceeds from the Amended and Restated Note to repay the notes issued to Veladen Invesments Corp., LLC, DIT Equity Holdings, LLC and RMS during October and November 2012. The Amended and Restated Note matures on February 14, 2013 and accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly.

 

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended November 30, 2012, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.7 million for the six months ended November 30, 2011. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in net loss, a $1.4 million increase in depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment, a $1.0 million decrease in unrealized loss on warrant liability, a $1.2 million increase in non-cash unrealized loss on investment in Cross Border warrants, and a $2.7 million decrease in non-cash loss on notes receivable.

 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $0.5 million for the six months ended November 30, 2012 from $10.5 million for the six months ended November 30, 2011 due to a $7.5 million decrease in additions to oil and gas properties, a $2.3 million decrease in acquisitions of oil and gas properties, and a $0.3 million decrease in addition to other property and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $11.5 million for the six months ended November 30, 2011. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended November 30, 2012 was primarily comprised of the issuance of $1.4 million of promissory notes, partially offset by repayments of our line of credit and note payable.

 

Indebtedness

 

Line of Credit with First State Bank

 

On June 18, 2010, Black Rock, Mr. Barksdale and Ernest Bartlett, the managing member of a shareholder of the Company, entered into a three year, $3.5 million line of credit with FSB. Loans borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the bank’s reference rate plus 275 basis points (6.0% at November 30, 2012) and are payable on demand, or if no demand is made, mature on June 18, 2013. The line of credit is secured by a lien against (i) our Villarreal, Frost Bank, Resendez and La Duquesa properties, (ii) 2,136,164 shares of Cross Border common stock owned by us and (iii) certain property owned by Mr. Bartlett. As co-signers, Mr. Barksdale and Mr. Bartlett are personally obligated for the repayment of borrowings under this line of credit.

 

24
 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the line of credit, until amounts outstanding under the line of credit are repaid, Black Rock may not, without the lender’s consent, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, (i) cease business or engage in any new line of business that is materially different from its current business; (ii) enter into any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of another entity; (iii) materially change its legal structure, management, ownership or financial condition; (iv) effect a domestication, conversion or interest exchange; (v) incur indebtedness or (vi) sell, lease, assign, transfer or dispose of substantially all of its assets.

 

The line of credit has substantially the same events of default as the June 29, 2011 promissory note discussed below under “— Replacement Note and Bamco Note Receivable.” In addition, an event of default includes the removal of Mr. Barksdale as president and chief executive officer of Black Rock.

 

On June 18, 2010, Black Rock, Mr. Barksdale and Mr. Bartlett borrowed $3.5 million and issued a $3.5 million promissory note to FSB under the line of credit. Pursuant to the promissory note, the loan is payable on demand, or if no demand is made, is due on June 18, 2013. Borrowings may be repaid at any time without penalty. If FSB declares a default under the loan, interest will accrue on the principal at a rate of 18% per annum. In addition, pursuant to the promissory note, FSB will lock box all funds from net production due to Black Rock. Funds received are first applied to accrued interest, and any remaining amount of funds is applied to the outstanding principal.

 

As of November 30, 2012, we had $1.6 million outstanding and $1.9 million remaining available for borrowing under the line of credit and were in compliance with all of the covenants under the line of credit described above.

 

Replacement Note and Bamco Note Receivable

 

As a condition to our June 2011 reverse merger with Black Rock and StoneStreet, FSB required Black Rock to assume and acquire a loan of $2.7 million from FSB (the “Bamco Note Receivable”) that had previously been issued by Bamco. Bamco is in receivership, and Mr. Barksdale is the receiver. As a result, the note payable from Bamco to FSB was cancelled, and Black Rock executed a new promissory note to FSB (the “Replacement Note”) on June 29, 2011, which became the only outstanding promissory note due to FSB related to Bamco. Due to the uncertainty about collection or realizing the value of the Bamco Note Receivable, management deemed it necessary to fully impair the value of the Bamco Note Receivable, which was recorded as a $2.7 millions loss on note receivable during the three months ended August 31, 2011. No interest income was recognized on the Bamco Note Receivable.

 

The Replacement Note accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum. If FSB declares a default, interest will accrue on the principal at a rate of 18% per annum. The Replacement Note is payable on demand, or if no demand is made, must be paid on June 29, 2014. In addition, we must make a principal payment of $540,000 on June 29, 2013. The Replacement Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

 

The Replacement Note is secured by (i) a pledge of all of the common stock of Black Rock; (ii) 2,000,000 shares of our common stock held by StoneStreet and (iii) a lien against our Villarreal, Frost Bank, Resendez and La Duquesa properties. As co-signers, Mr. Barksdale and Mr. Bartlett are personally obligated for the repayment of borrowings under the Replacement Note.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a commercial loan agreement related to the Replacement Note, until amounts outstanding under the loan are repaid, Black Rock may not, without the lender’s consent, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, (i) cease business or engage in any new line of business that is materially different from its current business; (ii) enter into any merger, consolidation, or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of another entity; (iii) materially change its legal structure, management, ownership or financial condition; (iv) effect a domestication, conversion or interest exchange; (v) incur indebtedness or (vi) sell, lease, assign, transfer or dispose of substantially all of its assets.

 

25
 

 

An event of default includes, among other events, the following occurrences by any of Black Rock, Mr. Barksdale or Mr. Bartlett: (i) failure to make payment when due; (ii) insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor; (iii) the death or declaration of incompetency of any co-signer or majority owner or partner; (iv) merger; (v) dissolution; (vi) reorganization; (vii) name change; (viii) failure to perform any condition or keep any promise or covenant under the loan agreement; (ix) default of any other agreements with FSB; (x) a misrepresentation in any verbal or written statement or financial information; (xi) failure to satisfy or appeal a judgment; (xii) use of the property securing the loan in a manner or for a purpose that threatens confiscation by a legal authority; (xiii) a transfer of all or substantially all of Black Rock or the co-signer’s property; (xiv) a determination by FSB that the value of its security has declined or is impaired; (xv) a material change in business, ownership, management or financial condition; or (xvi) FSB’s determination in good faith that its prospect for payment are impaired for any reason.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Replacement Note, FSB will lock box all funds from net production due to Black Rock. Funds received are first applied to accrued interest, and any remaining amount of funds is applied to the outstanding principal.

 

As of November 30, 2012, we had $2.1 million outstanding under the Replacement Note and were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Replacement Note described above.

 

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Promissory Note

 

On December 10, 2012, we entered into the Loan Agreement with the New Lenders. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we and the New Lenders agreed to modify the Original Note to increase the amount of the Original Note to $6.0 million. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company and the New Lenders entered into the Amended and Restated Note in the aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million. The Amended and Restated Note matures on February 14, 2013 and accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly. Upon an event of default, interest will accrue on all outstanding principal at a rate of the lesser of (i) 18% per annum or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. The Amended and Restated Note may be prepaid at any time, provided that we pay all interest on the outstanding principal that would have accrued through the maturity date.

 

All of our obligations under the Amended and Restated Note are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly owned subsidiaries, Black Rock and RMR Operating. The Amended and Restated Note is our senior obligation and is secured by (i) second priority real property liens against our Villarreal, Frost Bank, Resendez and La Duquesa properties; (ii) a first priority real property lien against our Madera, Pawnee, Shafter Lake, Martin and Cowden properties; and (iii) a stock pledge agreement with the Original Lenders, dated November 30, 2011, with respect to a second lien on 2,136,164 shares of common stock of Cross Border owned by Black Rock.

 

The Amended and Restated Note contains customary non-financial covenants governing the conduct of our business and the maintenance of our properties. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Note, for so long as the promissory note is outstanding, we are prohibited from incurring any future indebtedness secured by all or any portion of the collateral without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

An event of default under the Amended and Restated Note includes, among other things, (i) failure to make payments when due; (ii) any representation or warranty proves false; (iii) failure to comply with any covenant; (iv) violation of any provision of the note; (v) bankruptcy or insolvency; (vi) the New Lenders determines in their sole and absolute discretion that the Amended and Restated Note or related documents shall, for any reason, fail or cease to create a valid and perfected lien on or security interest in any or all of the collateral or the collateral shall be compromised, encumbered, cancelled, expired, terminated or otherwise rescinded; (vii) the New Lenders determine in their sole but reasonable discretion that we are unable in the ordinary course of business to pay our debts as they are due or our debts exceed the fair market value of all of our assets and property or (viii) a default under any of our material agreements. Immediately upon the occurrence of an event of default, the New Lenders have the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to accelerate and declare the outstanding amount immediately due and payable.

 

26
 

 

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we issued Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of Red Mountain Resources, Inc. (the “Warrants”) to (i) HB for the purchase of 75,000 shares of common stock, (ii) WB for the purchase of 75,000 shares of common stock and (iii) Caddo for the purchase of 50,000 shares of common stock. Each of the Warrants has an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments, and is exercisable through December 1, 2014. The Warrants grant piggyback registration rights pursuant to which the holders will have the right to include the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in certain registration statements that may be filed by us.

 

As of December 31, 2012, we had $6.0 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Note and were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Amended and Restated Note described above.

 

Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On November 25, 2011, we issued convertible promissory notes to Hohenplan Privatstiftung, Personalversorge der Autogrill Schweiz AG and SST Advisors, Inc. in an aggregate principal amount of $2.75 million. The convertible promissory notes are due and payable on November 25, 2013 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Prior to repayment, the holders of the convertible promissory notes have the option of converting all or any portion of the unpaid balance of the convertible promissory notes (including accrued and unpaid interest) into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution provisions if we issue any stock dividends, subdivide or combine our outstanding shares of common stock, or effect a reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The value of the beneficial conversion feature of the three convertible promissory notes was $0.8 million as of November 30, 2012. The beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a discount to the convertible notes payable and to additional paid-in-capital and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the convertible promissory notes. We amortized $0.2 million of the discount to interest expense during the three months ended November 30, 2012. We have granted the holders piggyback registration rights and agreed to include the resale of any shares of common stock that may be received upon conversion of the convertible promissory notes in certain future registration statements filed by us.

 

On July 30, 2012, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1.0 million to Hohenplan Privatstiftung. The Note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount of the Note together with accrued but unpaid interest is due on July 30, 2013, subject to a 12-month extension at the Holder’s option. The Holder has the option of converting all or a portion of the principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of our common stock. Subject to adjustment upon certain events, the conversion price is equal to the lower of (a) $1.50 per share and (b) the lowest price at which our common stock is sold in an equity financing for cash after the date of issuance of the Note and prior to the maturity date. We have granted the Holder piggyback registration rights and agreed to include the resale of any shares of common stock that may be received upon conversion of the Note in certain future registration statements filed by us.

 

We have determined that the terms of the Note contain a down round provision under which the conversion price could be decreased as a result of future equity offerings at a price per share less than $1.50. Accordingly, the conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative liability and discount on note payable. The value of the discount on note payable was approximately $199,000 as of November 30, 2012. We amortized approximately $75,000 of the discount to interest expense during the three months ended November 30, 2012.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Note, we incurred approximately $210,000 of debt issuance costs related to the issuance to a broker of 125,000 shares of our common stock with a value of $161,000, and warrants to purchase 83,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, with a value of $49,000. The warrants expire on July 30, 2015. The shares issued to the broker were valued using the closing market price of our common stock on OTCBB on the debt issuance date, July 30, 2012. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, we amortized approximately $52,000 of the capitalized debt issuance costs to interest expense.

 

Unsecured Promissory Notes

 

On October 3, 2012, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 to Veladen Investments Corp., LLC. The note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The entire principal amount of the promissory note, together with accrued but unpaid interest, is due on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2013 or (ii) the closing of a debt or equity financing of $2.0 million or more. Upon an event of default, interest will accrue on all outstanding principal and interest at a rate of 15% per annum.

 

27
 

 

On October 15, 2012 and November 6, 2012, we issued promissory notes in the principal amount of $100,000 each to DIT Equity Holdings, LLC and RMS. The notes have the same terms as the note issued to Veladen Investments Corp., LLC.

 

In December 2012, we used $0.4 million of the proceeds from the Amended and Restated Note to repay the notes issued to Veladen Investments Corp., LLC, DIT Equity Holdings, LLC and RMS in October and November 2012.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Since May 31, 2012, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements at November 30, 2012.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” believe,” “expect,” anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “intend,” “understand,” or similar expressions and the negative of such words and expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions.

 

Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that the plans, objectives and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our ability to control or predict and could cause results to differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·our ability to raise additional capital to fund future capital expenditures;

 

·our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, borrowings or other sources to enable us to fully develop and produce our oil and natural gas properties;

 

·declines or volatility in the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas;

 

·general economic conditions, whether internationally, nationally or in the regional and local market areas in which we do business;

 

·risks associated with drilling, including completion risks, cost overruns and the drilling of non-economic wells or dry holes;

 

·uncertainties associated with estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves;

 

28
 

 

·the presence or recoverability of estimated oil and natural gas reserves and the actual future production rates and associated costs;

 

·risks and liabilities associated with acquired companies and properties;

 

·risks related to integration of acquired companies and properties;

 

·potential defects in title to our properties;

 

·cost and availability of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oilfield services;

 

·geological concentration of our reserves;

 

·environmental or other governmental regulations, including legislation of hydraulic fracture stimulation;

 

·our ability to secure firm transportation for oil and natural gas we produce and to sell the oil and natural gas at market prices;

 

·exploration and development risks;

 

·management’s ability to execute our plans to meet our goals;

 

·our ability to retain key members of our management team;

 

·weather conditions;

 

·actions or inactions of third-party operators of our properties;

 

·costs and liabilities associated with environmental, health and safety laws;

 

·our ability to find and retain highly skilled personnel;

 

·operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business;

 

·competition in the oil and natural gas industry; and

 

·the other factors discussed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. All such forward-looking statements and any subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to our oil and natural gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices for natural gas. Pricing for oil and natural gas production is volatile. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk exposure.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

At November 30, 2012, we did not have any material interest rate risk. Our exposure to interest rate changes related primarily to borrowings under our line of credit with FSB. At November 30, 2012, we had $1.6 million outstanding under the line of credit, and interest is payable on borrowings based on a floating rate as more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness—Line of Credit with First State Bank.”

Item  4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2012 and, based on that evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

30
 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to, and none of our properties are the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, except as follows:

 

We currently do not have sufficient funds for our planned exploration or development activities for fiscal 2013 and will need additional capital to continue our operations beyond February 14, 2013, or sooner if demand for payment is made under either our line of credit or promissory note with First State Bank of Lonoke.

 

The oil and natural gas industry is capital intensive. We make and expect to continue to make significant capital expenditures in our business for the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas reserves. Improvement in commodity prices may result in an increase in our actual capital expenditures.

 

We plan to spend between $10.0 million and $15.0 million during fiscal 2013 to drill and complete wells or re-enter and complete wells, most of which will be spent in the Permian Basin. However, as of November 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $15.7 million. We currently do not have sufficient funds for our planned exploration or development activities for fiscal 2013 and will need additional capital to continue our operations beyond February 14, 2013, the maturity date of the $6.0 million Amended and Restated Note with the New Lenders, or sooner if demand for payment is made under either our line of credit or promissory note with FSB. If we are unable to finance our operations on acceptable terms or at all, we may be forced to curtail or suspend our planned exploration and development activities and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our cash flows from operations and access to capital are subject to a number of variables, including:

 

·our proved reserves;

 

·the level of oil and natural gas we are able to produce from existing wells;

 

·the prices at which our oil and natural gas are sold;

 

·our ability to acquire, locate and produce new reserves; and

 

·the ability of our banks to lend.

 

 Debt financing could lead to:

 

·a substantial portion of operating cash flow being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest;

 

·us being more vulnerable to competitive pressures and economic downturns; and

 

·restrictions on our operations, including our ability to pay dividends.

 

If sufficient capital resources are not available, we might be forced to cease operations entirely, curtail developmental and exploratory drilling and other activities or be forced to sell some assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

31
 

 

Our business may suffer if we lose key personnel.

 

We depend to a large extent on the services of our officers, including Alan Barksdale, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Hilda Kouvelis, our Chief Accounting Officer, and Tommy Folsom, Executive Vice President and Director of Exploration and Production for RMR Operating. These individuals have extensive experience and expertise in evaluating and analyzing producing oil and natural gas properties and drilling prospects, maximizing production from oil and natural gas properties and developing and executing financing strategies. We also depend on the services of Michael Uffman, our Chief Financial Officer, with his extensive experience in the financial sector of the energy industry. Although we have employment agreements with Ms. Kouvelis and Mr. Folsom, we do not currently have an employment agreement with Mr. Barksdale or Mr. Uffman and each of them is free to terminate his employment with us at any time and compete with us immediately thereafter. The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do not maintain key-man life insurance with respect to any management personnel. Our success will be dependent on our ability to continue to retain and utilize skilled technical personnel.
