NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of EFLO Energy, Inc., formerly EFL Overseas, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been made. Operating results for the nine and three month periods ended May 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2013.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. It does not expect the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Restatements

During a re-evaluation of the oil and gas assets acquired in the Devon and Nahanni acquisitions (see Note 2), the Company determined that an error had been made in the classification of the oil and gas assets acquired.  Specifically, the Company misclassified certain oil and gas leasehold and infrastructure equipment costs as proved within the full cost pool. The Company acquired the assets in an arms-length transaction.  The assets acquired were non-core to the long-term business plans of the selling companies and, consequently, had not been the focus of their ongoing exploration and production efforts.  However, the Company’s business plan for these acquisitions is strategic in nature, with only marginal consideration for the existing production at the time of acquisition.  Since the dates the acquisitions closed, the Company has begun the process of evaluating the exploitation potential of both the conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons in place, as well as formulating an exploitation and development plan based on its ongoing analyses. The Company intends to utilize modern technology and institutional and strategic knowledge of management to optimize the economics of the assets.

Upon consideration of the economic profile of the assets acquired at the time of acquisition, as compared to the Company’s future plans for the assets, the Company believes all oil and gas assets, including related infrastructure equipment, should have been classified as unproved in the Company’s balance sheet. Consequently, the Company believes classifying the assets as unproved is appropriate until such time as the hydrocarbon potential has been evaluated, the Company has completed development of an exploitation and development plan based on evaluation of the reservoir, raised sufficient capital to begin the operational execution of the exploitation and development plan and proved the economic viability of the assets based on successful drilling.  The Company will begin reclassifying these oil and gas assets from unproved to proved if and when the assets are demonstrably economic concurrent with the execution of the Company’s business plan.

The effect of this restatement on the consolidated financial statements included herein is as shown in tabular form below:

2.  OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
Oil and Gas Acquisition – Kotaneelee Gas Project (the “KGP”)

On October 17, 2012, the Company completed a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Nahanni Energy Inc., 1700665 Alberta Ltd., Apex Energy (2000), Inc. and Canada Southern Petroleum #1 L.P. (jointly “Nahanni”) for the acquisition of its entire right and interest (generally a working interest of 30.664%) in the KGP (the “Nahanni Assets”).

The KGP covers 30,542 gross acres in the Yukon Territory in Canada, and includes; a gas dehydration plant (capacity: 70 million cubic feet per day), one shut in gas well, one water disposal well (capacity: 6,000 barrels per day), and two suspended gas wells. The KGP has a fully developed gas gathering, sales and delivery infrastructure, airstrip, roads, flarestack, storage tanks, barge dock and permanent camp facilities.

As consideration for the Nahanni Assets, the Company paid Nahanni approximately $13,761,000. The consideration was comprised of approximately $133,000 in cash ($398,550 offset by $265,950 paid in connection with the acquisition of the Devon Assets in settlement of certain Nahanni indebtedness), 1,614,767 shares of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, which are exchangeable for 1,614,767 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at approximately $4,191,000, and the absorption of approximately $9,437,000 in asset retirement obligations. The number of shares issued by the Company’s subsidiary was calculated by dividing the fair value of the exchangeable shares by the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to closing the Purchase Agreement.  The fair value of the exchangeable shares has been recorded as additional paid in capital in the Company’s equity. The exchangeable shares enjoy no voting or revenue participation rights in the subsidiary. Both the cash paid and stock issued for the Nahanni Assets are subject to certain holdbacks for asset related liabilities or breach of representations and warranties.

On July 18, 2012, the Company completed an acquisition of Devon Canada’s (“Devon”) entire right and interest (generally a working interest of 22.989%, with a working interest of 69.337% in one shut in gas well) in the KGP. As consideration for Devon’s working interest in the KGP, (the “Devon Assets”), the Company paid approximately $23,298,000. The consideration was comprised of $290,000 in cash, 7,250,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $15,950,000, and the absorption of $7,058,000 in asset retirement obligations.

As a result of its purchase of the Nahanni Assets and Devon Assets, the Company now generally owns a 53.65% working interest in the KGP, including a 100% working interest in one shut in gas well.

The Company is pursuing the acquisition of additional working interests in the KGP.

The Company records assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisitions are expensed as incurred.  The Company uses relevant market assumptions to determine fair value and allocate purchase price, such as future commodity pricing for purchased hydrocarbons, market multiples for similar transactions and replacement value for certain equipment.  Many of the assumptions are unobservable. The Company’s preliminary assessment of the fair value of the Nahanni Assets resulted in a valuation of $25,526,554. As a result of incorporating this information into the purchase price allocation, a gain on bargain purchase of $11,766,887 was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The gain on bargain purchase was primarily attributable to the strategic nature of the divestiture by the motivated seller, coupled with a confluence of certain favorable economic trends in the industry and the geographic region in which the Nahanni Assets are located.
 
The Company allocated the consideration paid for the Nahanni Assets and Devon assets based upon its assessment of their fair value at the dates of purchase, as follows:

Oil and natural gas revenues and lease operating expenses related to unproved oil and gas properties that are being evaluated for economic viability are offset against the full cost pool until proved reserves are established, or determination is made that the unproved properties are impaired. During the nine and three month periods ended May 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $747,134 and $366,518, respectively, of lease operating expense, net of oil and gas revenue, into the full cost pool related to its unproven interests.

In connection with its acquisition of the Nahanni Assets and the Devon Assets, the Company acquired $9,436,526 and $7,057,716 in asset retirement obligations, respectively, relating with its portion of the abandonment, reclamation and environmental liabilities associated with the KGP.

On March 31, 2011, the Company initiated oil and gas operations by entry into a Farmout and Participation Agreement which provided for its acquisition of a net working interest ranging from 21.25% to 42.5%, in a 2,629 acre oil and gas lease, insofar as that lease covers from the surface to the base of the San Miguel formation (the “San Miguel Lease”). The San Miguel Lease, which is located in Zavala County, Texas, is unproven and has no current production. The Company incurred $80,000 in asset retirement obligations related to the future plugging and abandonment of a test well on the San Miguel Lease. At May 31, 2013, the Company’s interest in the San Miguel lease was impaired and expensed to the extent of its carrying value, which included the full amount of the associated asset retirement obligation. The entire asset retirement obligation relating to the San Miguel Lease has been classified as a current liability.

The Company applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair market value of the options granted. In applying the model, the Company used the following parameters: contractual lives of 2 to 4.5 years, historical stock price volatility of 65%, a risk-free rate of 4.5% and an annual dividend rate of 0%. As a result, the Company determined that the total fair market value of the options granted was $313,646 and the weighted-average grant-date fair value per option granted was $0.78.
 
On January 15, 2013, the Company also authorized the issuance of 50,000 bonus shares of its common stock to its new Chief Operating Officer pursuant to the 2012 Stock Bonus Plan. The fair market value of these bonus shares is the market price of the shares at the date of grant. The 50,000 bonus shares had an aggregate value of $97,000, or $1.94 per share at that date.

During the nine and three months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recognized $591,648 and $123,016, respectively, of non-cash expense related to stock-based compensation under its 2012 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”). As of May 31, 2013, $606,922 of total unrecognized compensation cost remains under the Option Plan. Of this amount, $123,017, $437,107 and $46,798 are expected to be recognized during fiscal 2013, fiscal 2014, and fiscal 2015, respectively. The Company had no option plan in place during the nine and three month periods ended May 31, 2012.

During the nine and three months ended May 31, 2013, fees totaling $107,500 and $37,500 were paid using 54,200 and 20,789 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at a weighted average prices of $1.98 and $1.80 per share, respectively. For the nine and three months ended May 31, 2012, $146,774 and $30,000 in fees incurred under this arrangement were paid using 48,023 and 14,238 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at a weighted average price of $3.07 and $2.10, respectively.

5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Effective January 20, 2011, a company controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, and an unrelated consultant (the “Finders”) entered into an agreement with the Company providing for the payment of finder’s compensation ranging from 5% (on transaction values greater than $1,000,000) to 10% (on transactions valued up to $300,000) on transactions introduced to the Company by or through the Finders for a period of two years (the “Finder’s Fee Agreement”). Under the Finder’s Fee Agreement, compensation is divided between the Finders and the Finders may elect whether the finder’s compensation is payable in cash, or shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. If the Finders elect to receive payment in stock, the shares into which finder’s compensation will be converted will be calculated using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days preceding the closing date of the transaction to which the compensation relates. The Finder’s Fee Agreement specifically recognizes that the KGP has been presented to the Company by the Finders. During the nine months ended May 31, 2013, finder’s compensation of $755,399 has been accrued under the Finder’s Fee Agreement in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Nahanni Assets. No such fees were incurred during three months ended May 31, 2013 or during the nine or three months ended May 31, 2012.
 
Of the fees paid in stock during the nine month periods ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 (see Note 4), fees totaling $90,000 and $146,774 were paid using 44,877 and 48,023 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, respectively, to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer under the terms of a management consulting agreement.

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

General
 
EFLO Energy, Inc. (formerly, EFL Overseas, Inc.) is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2008. We are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in the United States and Canada.

During the period from July 18, 2012 through October 17, 2012, we acquired working interests totaling 53.65% (including a 100% working interest in one shut in gas well) in the Kotaneelee Gas Project (“KGP”) located on 30,542 gross acres in the Yukon Territory in Canada. We believe the KGP has significant conventional and shale gas potential and is supported by an environment of growing investment in gas processing and export in the Pacific Northwest.

Our acquisition of an initial working interest of 22.989% (including a 69.337% working interest in one shut in gas well) in the KGP was completed on July 18, 2012, with an effective date of July 1, 2012. Since that date, we have been responsible for the operations of the KGP and have recognized our portion of its related net revenues and costs as an increase to the full cost pool related to our unproven interests while economic viability is being evaluated.

During March 2011, we initiated oil and gas operations by entry into the Eagleford Agreement which provided for our acquisition of a net working interest, ranging from 21.25% to 42.5%, in a 2,629 acre oil and gas lease, insofar as that lease covers from the surface to the base of the San Miguel formation (the “San Miguel Lease”). The San Miguel Lease is located in Zavala County, Texas, and has no current production or proven reserves.

Prior to our initial working interest acquisition in the KGP, we had generated no revenues and had no proven reserves. Following our acquisition of the KGP we have generated limited revenue which reduced the full cost pool related to our unproven interests while economic viability is being evaluated.

The Kotaneelee Gas Project (“KGP”) – Yukon Territory, Canada

Working Interest Acquisitions

On October 17, 2012, we completed a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Nahanni Energy Inc., 1700665 Alberta Ltd., Apex Energy (2000), Inc. and Canada Southern Petroleum #1 L.P. (jointly “Nahanni”) for the acquisition of its entire right and interest (generally a working interest of 30.664%) in the KGP (the “Nahanni Assets”).

The KGP covers 30,542 gross acres in the Yukon Territory in Canada, and includes; a gas dehydration plant (capacity: 70 million cubic feet per day), one shut in gas well, one water disposal well (capacity: 6,000 barrels per day), and two suspended gas wells. The KGP has a fully developed gas gathering, sales and delivery infrastructure, airstrip, roads, flarestack, storage tanks, barge dock and permanent camp facilities.

As consideration for the Nahanni Assets, we paid Nahanni approximately $13,761,000. The consideration was comprised of approximately $133,000 in cash ($398,550 offset by $265,950 paid in connection with the acquisition of the Devon Assets in settlement of certain Nahanni indebtedness), 1,614,767 shares of one of our subsidiaries, which are exchangeable, under certain terms and circumstances, for 1,614,767 shares of our restricted common stock valued at approximately $4,191,000, and the absorption of approximately $9,437,000 in asset retirement obligations. The number of shares issued by our subsidiary was calculated by dividing the fair value of the exchangeable shares by the volume weighted average trading price of our stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to closing the Purchase Agreement.  Both the cash paid and stock issued for the Nahanni Assets are subject to certain holdbacks for asset related liabilities or breach of representations and warranties.
 
On July 18, 2012, we completed an acquisition of Devon Canada’s (“Devon”) entire right and interest (generally a working interest of 22.989%, with a working interest of 69.337% in one shut in gas well) in the KGP. As consideration for Devon’s working interest in the KGP, (the “Devon Assets”), we paid approximately $23,298,000. The consideration was comprised of $290,000 in cash, 7,250,000 shares of our restricted common stock valued at $15,950,000, and the absorption of approximately $7,058,000 in asset retirement obligations.

As a result of our purchase of the Nahanni Assets and Devon Assets, we now generally own a 53.65% interest in the KGP, including a 100% interest in one producing well which was temporarily shut-in for maintenance during September, 2012.

We are also pursuing the acquisition of additional working interests in the KGP.

We record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisitions are expensed as incurred.  We use relevant market assumptions to determine fair value and allocate purchase price, such as future commodity pricing for purchased hydrocarbons, market multiples for similar transactions and replacement value for certain equipment.  Many of the assumptions are unobservable. Our preliminary assessment of the fair value of the Nahanni Assets and the Devon Assets resulted in a valuation of $25,526,554 and $22,103,530, respectively. As a result of our purchase price allocation, a gain on bargain purchase of $11,766,887 was recognized on the Nahanni Assets. The gain on bargain purchase was primarily attributable to the strategic nature of the divestiture by the motivated seller, coupled with a confluence of certain favorable economic trends in the industry and the geographic region in which the Nahanni Assets are located. The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair value of the Devon Assets was $1,194,365. This amount has been recognized as goodwill.

Our proven oil and gas properties have been reclassified as unproven. See a detailed discussion in Note 1 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Future Development and Exploration

Our long term exploration plan for the KGP involves the exploitation of both conventional and unconventional (shale) gas resources. Phase one of that plan includes the rework or recompletion of up to three wells, and the drilling, completion and equipping of two new wells. These efforts will focus on previously identified or tested conventional gas zones. During phase one, we intend to target lower cost development and exploration targets with the potential to create positive cash flows and long term sustainability for the KGP. Early estimates indicate the cost of phase one may range from $35,000,000 to $50,000,000 on a gross basis.
 
Phases two and three of our exploration plan anticipates further development of conventional reservoirs and testing and development of shale reservoirs.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

KGP

Oil and natural gas revenues and lease operating expenses related to unproved oil and gas properties that are being evaluated for commercial viability are offset against the full cost pool until proved reserves are established, or determination is made that the unproved properties are impaired. During the nine and three month periods ended May 31, 2013, we capitalized $747,134 and $366,518, respectively, of lease operating expense, net of oil and gas revenue, into the full cost pool related to its unproven interests.

The San Miguel Lease

Under the Eagleford Agreement, to earn our initial 21.25% working interest (net revenue interest 15.94%), we were obligated to drill and complete a vertical Test Well in the San Miguel shale formation. We were also obligated to perform an injection operation on the Test Well. If the Test Well was prospective for production in commercial quantities, we were required to equip the Test Well and place it on production. If we determine that the Test Well is not prospective for production in commercial quantities, we are responsible for the abandonment of the Test Well.

During April and May 2011, we drilled and completed the Test Well, performed injection operations and earned our initial interest in the San Miguel Lease. The Test Well was drilled into the San Miguel heavy oil zone to a depth of 3,168 feet. The well encountered oil and was completed as a producer. After completion, it was determined that the oil was subject to significant viscosity changes related to temperature reductions from formation to recovery at surface. The Test Well was stimulated with nitrified hydrochloric acid and placed on production. To date, however, oil viscosity has prohibited economic operation. Although we continue to investigate various methods to improve production from the Test Well, we cannot estimate what cost, if any, will be associated with future production efforts on the San Miguel Lease. We have no current plans to spend the funds necessary to earn an additional interest in the San Miguel Lease. In the event we are unable to substantially improve production, we intend to abandon the Test Well, or actively pursue the sale of our interest in the San Miguel Lease.
 
As a result of the application of the full cost pool "ceiling test", we determined that the book value of the San Miguel Lease was impaired to the extent of its carrying value. Accordingly, during the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized losses on the impairment of oil and gas assets of $44,335 and $835,659, respectively. The carrying value of oil and gas properties was likewise reduced to reflect the impairment of the Lease. We have made no additional expenditures on the San Miguel Lease since November 30, 2011.
 
Other

The excess of the estimated fair value of the Nahanni Assets over the consideration paid was $11,766,887. This amount has been recognized as a gain on the acquisition of assets. The tax impact of $3,164,790 relating to this gain has been recorded as a deferred tax obligation. The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair value of the Devon Assets was $1,194,365. This amount has been recognized as goodwill.
 
Our operating loss for the nine and three month period ended May 31, 2013, increased by approximately $3,732,000 or 619% (from $603,273 to $4,334,986) and approximately $818,000 or 518% (from $157,720 to $975,436)  when compared to the same periods during the prior year, respectively. These increased losses resulted from higher costs incurred in almost every category to support our expanded operations, including:

1.
Increases of approximately $427,121 and $167,305, respectively, in accretion of asset retirement obligations incurred in connection with our working interests in the KGP acquired during July and October 2012;

2.
Increases of approximately $651,000 or 289% (from $225,000 to $875,647) and $238,000 or 317% (from $75,000 to $312,958), respectively, in management and directors fees relating to an increase in the size of our board of directors from four (4) to six (6) members, the addition of two new officers, and the accrual of  newly established directors fees;

3.
Increases of approximately $1,166,000 (from $0.00 to $1,166,405) and $116,000 (from $0.00 to $115,979), respectively, in stock based compensation expense for the nine month period consisting primarily of; $551,000 recognized in net fair value of options granted under the 2012 Stock Option Plan, $259,000 (100,583 shares) payable to our Chief Executive Officer, and $259,000 (100,553 shares) payable to our Chief Financial Officer as finder’s fees in connection with our acquisition of the KGP, and $97,000 in the value of stock granted to our incoming Chief Operating Officer under our 2012 Stock Bonus Plan, and for the three month period consisting of $116,000 recognized in the net fair value of options granted under the 2012 Stock Option Plan.
 
4.
Increases of approximately $811,000 or 568% (from $142,953 to $954,330) and $109,000 (from $29,700 to $138,355), respectively, in consulting fees consisting in largest part for the nine month period of; $230,100 payable for investor relations services (payable to a consultant in 90,000 shares of our restricted common stock), and $258,000 in finder’s fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of the KGP (payable to a consultant in 100,553 shares of our restricted common stock), $40,000 paid in connection with capital formation, and increased fees for engineering services incurred in connection with the KGP, and for the three month period consisting of $20,000 paid in connection with capital formation, and increased fees for engineering services incurred in connection with the KGP.

5.
Increases of approximately $380,000 or 290% (from $130,853 to $510,642), and $79,000 or 354% (from $22,368 to $101,643), respectively, in professional fees, incurred in connection with regulatory compliance and our acquisition of the KGP.

6.
Increases of approximately $341,000 or 567% (from $60,132 to $400,841), and $109,000 or 354% (from $30,652 to $139,196), respectively, in office, travel and general expense,  relating primarily to travel costs and insurance expense incurred in connection with our acquisition, operation and financing of the KGP.

During the nine and three months ended May 31, 2013, we recognized approximately $28,000 in gains related to our settlement of certain vendor payables at less than their face amounts.
 
We expect our expenses will continue to increase as we expand operations. We are actively seeking additional capital to fund those expenditures. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and tends to reflect general economic conditions. The pattern of historic fluctuations in gas prices has resulted in additional uncertainty in capital markets. Our access to capital, as well as that of our partners and contractors, has been limited due to tightened credit markets. These limitations may inhibit the size, and timing of exploration ventures.

We plan to generate profits by drilling productive gas wells or improving the production of existing wells. We will, however, need to raise the funds we require through the sale of our securities, from loans from third parties or by joint venturing operations with third parties which will pay a portion of the costs required to explore for oil and gas in the area covered by our leases. Any wells which we may drill may not produce oil or gas in commercial quantities. We plan to report losses from our operations until such time, if ever, that we begin to generate significant revenue from oil and gas sales.
 
To secure our indemnity of the asset retirement obligations associated with the Devon Assets, we provided Devon a corporate guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in the amount of CAD$10,000,000 (USD$10,050,000) and delivered a letter of credit in the amount of CAD$4,380,000 (USD$4,410,000) to Devon (the “Devon LOC”). We also agreed to deliver a letter of credit in the amount of CAD$625,000 (USD$629,000) to the government of the Yukon Territory as soon as practicable (the “Yukon LOC”). The amounts of the Devon LOC and Yukon LOC reduce the amount of the Guarantee on a dollar-for-dollar basis. We intend to actively develop and explore the KGP lands which will defer potential abandonment and reclamation liabilities into the longer term.

The Guarantee was provided to Devon by our largest shareholder, Holloman Corporation, in exchange for 3,250,000 shares of our restricted common stock. The Devon LOC was provided to Devon by Pacific LNG Operations Ltd. (“PLNG”). PLNG is also committed to provide the Yukon LOC. In exchange for the Devon LOC and Yukon LOC we issued PLNG 4,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock. Our directors, James Ebeling and Eric Prim are officers of Holloman Corporation, and Henry Aldorf, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is a director of PLNG.

We anticipate that our acquisition of the KGP will generate significant capital requirements.  During the twelve month period ending June 30, 2014, early estimates indicate that investment in the KGP, including operating costs, the acquisition of additional working interests, and Phase One exploration costs may range from $40,000,000 to $42,000,000. We are attempting to raise the capital needed to implement our business plan.
 
Effective January 20, 2011, a company controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and an unrelated consultant (the “Finders”) entered into an agreement with us providing for the payment of finder’s compensation ranging from 5% (on transaction values greater than $1,000,000) to 10% (on transactions valued up to $300,000) on transactions introduced to us by or through the Finders for a period of two years (the “Finder’s Fee Agreement”). Under the Finder’s Fee Agreement, compensation is divided between the Finders and the Finders may elect whether the finder’s compensation is payable in cash, or shares of our restricted common stock. If the Finders elect to receive payment in stock, the shares into which finder’s compensation will be converted will be calculated using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days preceding the closing date of the transaction to which the compensation relates. The Finder’s Fee Agreement specifically recognizes that the KGP has been presented to us by the Finders. As of May 31, 2013, finder’s compensation of $1,599,682 has been accrued under the Finder’s Fee Agreement in connection with our acquisition of the Devon Assets and the Nahanni Assets.

Other than the obligations associated with the acquisition and exploration of our oil and gas leases disclosed elsewhere in this report, we have no material future contractual obligations as of May 31, 2013.

During the period from June 2012, through February 2013, we sold 4,405,667 shares of our common stock to twenty eight accredited investors at a price of $1.20 per share. Gross proceeds from these private placements totaled $5,286,800. We paid $164,038 in finder’s fees in connection with the sale of these shares.
 
During December 2011, we retired $70,000 in non-interest bearing notes payable to an unrelated party. In exchange for the notes, we issued 23,334 investment units to the noteholder. The investment units were priced at $3.00 each and consisted of one share of our common stock, and one stock purchase warrant. Each stock purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $4.50 per share until November 5, 2013.

During May 2011, we sold 120,000 investment units. The investment units were priced at $3.00 each and consisted of one share of our common stock and one stock purchase warrant. Each stock purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $4.50 per share until April 15, 2013. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $360,000, all of which were paid in cash. We paid $2,400 in finder’s fees in connection with the sale of the units. Our Chief Executive Officer acquired 50,000 investment units in this private placement.
 
During April 2011, we sold 390,000 investment units at a price of $3.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $4.50 per share until April 1, 2013. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $1,170,000, all of which was paid in cash. We paid $46,800 in finder's fees in connection with the sale of the units.
 
During December 2010, we sold 86,870 investment units at a price of $2.30 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $3.50 per share until December 29, 2012. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $191,100 (net of $8,700 in fees) of which $166,100 was paid in cash and $25,000 was a repayment of a loan.

In connection with the San Miguel Farmout Agreement, we obtained $400,000 in temporary financing from our largest shareholder. This financing was subject to a non-interest bearing demand note payable. The entire $400,000 note balance was repaid from proceeds of a private placement of investment units during April 2011.
 
We believe our plan of operations, exclusive of costs associated with the KGP or other acquired assets, will require from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 in financing over the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2014 to cover general, administrative, and other costs.
 
If we are unable to raise the financing we need, our business plan may fail and our stockholders could lose their investment. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital we require, or that if the capital is offered, it will be subject to terms we consider acceptable. Investors should be aware that even if we are able to raise the funds we require, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in our acquisition, exploration or production plans and we may never be profitable.
 
As of July 10, 2013 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Measurement Uncertainty
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to our consolidated financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows, asset retirement obligations, the valuation of goodwill, determination of fair values of stock-based transactions, deferred income tax rates, and environmental risks and exposures.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Properties
 
We utilize the full cost method to account for our investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs, including direct internal costs, are capitalized to the full cost pool. When we commence production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.
 
 Depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) of proven and producing oil and gas properties is calculated quarterly, using the Units of Production Method (UOP). The UOP calculation, in simplest terms, matches the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter with the costs of those reserves. The result is to recognize expense at the same pace that the reservoirs are actually depleting. The amortization base in the UOP calculation includes the sum of proved property costs net of accumulated DD&A, estimated future development costs (future costs to access and develop reserves) and asset retirement costs which are not already included in oil and gas property, less related salvage value.
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test" (based on the average of the first-day-of-the-month prices during the preceding twelve-month period  pursuant to the SEC’s “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” rule), which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized. If net capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense in the current period.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
Oil and Gas Acquisitions

We account for all property acquisitions that include working interests in proved leaseholds, both operated and non-operated, that would generate more than an immaterial balance of goodwill as business combinations. We do not apply acquisition accounting to the purchase of oil and gas properties entirely comprised of unproved leaseholds. In accordance with this guidance, we have recognized the fair value of all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our KGP working interest acquisition from Devon and Nahanni effective July 18, 2012 and October 17, 2012, respectively.
 
On an ongoing basis, we conduct assessments of net assets acquired to determine if acquisition accounting is appropriate.  When we determine a "business" has been acquired under the requirements of ASC Topic 805, we record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisitions are expensed as incurred.  We use relevant market assumptions to determine fair value and allocate purchase price, such as future commodity pricing for purchased hydrocarbons, market multiples for similar transactions and replacement value for certain equipment.  Many of the assumptions are unobservable.
 
 
15

 
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
We record asset retirement obligations based on guidance set forth in ASC Topic 410 as a liability in the period in which we incur an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated balance of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. The associated asset retirement asset is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The associated asset retirement obligation liability is subject to periodic accretion based on our credit-adjusted discount rate. Accretion expense is offset with an increase to the asset retirement obligation liability account, and, at the end of the asset’s life, the liability account will have a balance equal to the amount needed to settle the retirement obligation.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
Our valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of these techniques requires significant judgment and is primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, the principal (or most advantageous) market in which participants would transact for the asset or liability and the quality and availability of inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques are classified as either observable or unobservable within the following hierarchy:

 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These include: 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; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).
 
 
Level 3 — unobservable inputs that reflect our own expectations about the assumptions that market participants would use in measuring the fair value of an asset or liability.
  
We consider all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,032,775 and $2,206,347 at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, respectively. We are exposed to a concentration of credit risk with respect to our cash deposits. We place cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions in the United States and Canada. At times, cash balances held in financial institutions may be in excess of insured limits. We believe the financial institutions are financially strong and the risk of loss is minimal. We have not experienced any losses with respect to the related risks and do not believe our exposure to such risks is more than normal.

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and demand notes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
 
Revenue Recognition

We recognize natural gas revenue under the sales method of accounting for our interests in producing wells as natural gas is produced and sold from those wells. We recognize revenue upon transfer of ownership of the product to the customer which occurs when (i) the product is physically received by the customer, (ii) an invoice is generated which evidences an arrangement between the customer and us, (iii) a fixed sales price has been included in such invoice and (iv) collection from such customer is reasonably assured. Gas sales are reported net of applicable production taxes.

Oil and natural gas revenues and lease operating expenses related to unproved oil and gas properties that are being evaluated for commercial viability are offset against the full cost pool until proved reserves are established, or determination is made that the unproved properties are impaired. During the nine and three month periods ended May 31, 2013, we capitalized $747,134 and $366,518, respectively, of lease operating expense, net of oil and gas revenue, into the full cost pool related to our unproven interests.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
We record compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements for stock-based payments using the fair value method. The fair value of stock options granted to directors and employees is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees is measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Stock-based compensation is expensed as earned with a corresponding increase to share capital.
 
Foreign Currency Gains and Losses
 
Our functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of our Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Financial statements of our Canadian subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of income or loss. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. As of May 31, 2013, we have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Income Taxes
 
We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax bases. In addition, the future benefits of income tax assets, including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or realized.
 
Earnings per share
 
We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Our Diluted EPS amounts differ from Basic EPS for the nine month period ended May 31, 2013, as we have adjusted the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period by 1,614,767 shares of one of our subsidiaries issued in connection with our acquisition of the Nahanni Assets, which are exchangeable for 1,614,767 shares of the our restricted common stock.

Our Diluted EPS amounts did not differ from Basic EPS during the prior year periods and for the three month period ended May 31, 2013, as we generated net losses during those periods.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of May 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 of achieving their control objectives.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

During the three months ended May 31, 2013, we accrued fees payable in stock totaling $37,500 under the terms of two consulting agreements. One of these agreements, for fees in the amount of $30,000, is with an entity controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. Effective May 31, 2013, we issued 20,789 shares of our common stock, at a weighted average price of $1.80 per share, in satisfaction of these liabilities.

We relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the issuance of these shares. The certificates representing the shares of common stock bear a restricted legend providing that they cannot be sold unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration.  We did not pay any underwriting discounts or sales commissions in connection with the issuance of these shares.

Restatement of Financial Statements

On April 14, 2013, and in connection with a re-evaluation of the oil and gas assets acquired in the Devon and Nahanni acquisitions (see Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements ), the Company determined that an error had been made in the classification of the oil and gas assets acquired.  Specifically, in its financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2012 and the three months ended November 30, 2012 the Company misclassified certain oil and gas leasehold and infrastructure equipment costs as proved within the full cost pool. The Company acquired the assets in an arms-length transaction.  The assets acquired were non-core to the long-term business plans of the selling companies and, consequently, had not been the focus of their ongoing exploration and production efforts.  However, the Company’s business plan for these acquisitions is strategic in nature, with only marginal consideration for the existing production at the time of acquisition.  Since the dates the acquisitions closed, the Company has begun the process of evaluating the exploitation potential of both the conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons in place, as well as formulating an exploitation and development plan based on its ongoing analyses. The Company intends to utilize modern technology and institutional and strategic knowledge of management to optimize the economics of the assets.

Upon consideration of the economic profile of the assets acquired at the time of acquisition, as compared to the Company’s future plans for the assets, the Company believes all oil and gas assets, including related infrastructure equipment, should have been classified as unproved in the Company’s balance sheet. Consequently, the Company believes classifying the assets as unproved is appropriate until such time as the hydrocarbon potential has been evaluated, the Company has completed development of an exploitation and development plan based on evaluation of the reservoir, raised sufficient capital to begin the operational execution of the exploitation and development plan and proved the economic viability of the assets based on successful drilling.  The Company will begin reclassifying these oil and gas assets from unproved to proven if and when the assets are demonstrably economic concurrent with the execution of the Company’s business plan.
