TREATY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
History
 
Treaty Energy Corporation, formerly known as Alternate Energy Corp., (“Treaty”, “the Company”, “we”, or “us”) was incorporated as COI Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada in August, 1997.

We incorporated as COI Solutions, Inc. on August 1, 1997 as a Nevada corporation. On May 22, 2003, we acquired all the assets of AEC Inc., formerly known as Alternate Energy Corporation, and changed our name to Alternate Energy Corp. We commenced active business operations on September 1, 2003 and were a development stage company under Codification Topic No. 915 developing alternate renewable energy sources.

The Company merged with Treaty Petroleum, Inc., a Texas Corporation under a transaction commonly referred to as a reverse merger.  With the change in ownership in December 2008, we embarked on a new business plan, focusing on oil and gas production.
 
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Treaty Energy Drilling, C&C Petroleum Management, LLC, and Treaty Belize Energy, Ltd., in which the Company holds an 80% interest.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial information for the interim periods presented.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates underlying these consolidated financial statements include the estimated quantities of proved oil reserves used to compute depletion of oil and natural gas properties and the estimated fair value of asset retirement obligations.

All of the Company’s accounting policies are not included in this Form 10-Q.  A more comprehensive set of accounting policies adopted by the Company are included on our Form 10-K as of December 31, 2012 and are herein incorporated by reference.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes oil, gas and natural gas condensate revenue in the period of delivery. Settlement on sales occurs anywhere from two weeks to two months after the delivery date. The Company recognizes revenue when an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
The Company recognizes drilling revenue in the period services are rendered.  The Company recognizes revenue when a drilling engagement exists, the service has been rendered, the contract fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
In December of 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance now codified as Topic 718 (“Topic 18”) which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed Topic 18 methodology and amounts.  Prior periods presented are not required to be restated. The Company adopted Topic 18 at its inception and applied the standard using the modified prospective method.
 
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company accounts for conditional asset retirement obligations in accordance with FASB ASC 410-20.  Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates a fair value of the obligation on each well in which it owns an interest by identifying costs associated with the future dismantlement and removal of production equipment and facilities and the restoration and reclamation of a production operation’s surface to a condition similar to that existing before oil and natural gas extraction began.

In general, the amount of an Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) and the costs capitalized will be equal to the estimated future cost to satisfy the abandonment obligation using current prices that are escalated by an assumed inflation factor up to the estimated settlement date which is then discounted back to the date that the abandonment obligation was incurred using an assumed cost of funds for the Company. After recording these amounts, the ARO is accreted to its future estimated value using the same assumed cost of funds and the liability is increased each period as the retirement obligation approaches.  See Note 11 for a discussion of our estimated Asset Retirement Obligation.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. There was no material effect on the consolidated financial statements as a result of these reclassifications.
 
Derivative Liability
 
The Company accounts for shares sold in excess of the authorized number of shares as a derivative liability.  Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices.  Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.
 
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that affect our operations or require disclosure as of the date of this balance sheet.
 
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Treaty will continue as a going concern. As shown in these consolidated financial statements, we have had continuing negative cash flows from operations and a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2013.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to finance these deficits by making additional shareholder notes and seeking additional outside financing through either debt or sales of its common stock.

NOTE 5 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
There were no property acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2013, however, a 4% ORRI was repurchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and 0.5% and 1.3% ORRI interests were re-acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  The 4% ORRI was purchased with 1,000,000 shares valued at $38,000 but were immediately impaired and expensed based on the December 31, 2012, reserve report.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013, a ½ (one-half) % ORRI interest was purchased for 7,500,000 shares of common stock.  The value of the shares paid was $199,500 on the acquisition date.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013, a 1.3% ORRI interest was purchased for 11,000,000 shares of common stock and $17,000 cash.  The value of the shares paid was $99,000.  These ORRI’s had no fair market value at September 30, 2013, and were fully impaired as of September 30, 2013 for $315,500.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we acquired assignments of the Mitchell #3 and #4 wells for a cash investment of $300,000.  It was immediately impaired for the full amount of the cost.

Also during the quarter ended  September 30, 2013, we purchased an assignment of Working and Net Revenue interest in the Stockton lease for $50,000.  An additional $58,651 of drilling costs have been capitalized since the acquisition.
 
In addition to the $300,000 impairment expense on the Mitchell leases, we have impaired another $315,500 of costs associated with those wells and for the ORRI interests repurchased for lease properties that were disposed of.

Production of Oil from all fields

We recorded depreciation and depletion expense on oil and gas assets of $76,788 and $178,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, with total production of approximately 3,068 and 2,948 barrels.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we shipped 1,862.92 and 3,067.63 barrels, and reflect a $3,387 net receivable (after royalty and production tax reductions) for shipments made prior to September 30, 2013.
 
Carved Out Production Payment

As noted in the 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into an agreement with an investor to sell a 5% permanent royalty and a 15% temporary royalty to be paid until production reaches 200 barrels per day for $600,000.  The interests for both the permanent and temporary royalties relate to all current and future Texas leases.  Once total Texas production exceeds 200 barrels per day, the temporary 15% royalties will revert to Treaty Energy Corporation.

In recording the temporary portion of the royalties sold, an advance on a production payment liability was established.  Since the amount of proceeds to be paid out in the future is not readily determinable and the Company is not responsible for any shortfall in payment related to future production, the temporary 15% is treated as a “Carved-Out Production Payment Payable in Product” consistent with the guidance in ASC 932-10.  Moreover, since the payout amounts are uncertain, no allocation of the proceeds between the permanent 5% and the temporary 15% Overriding Royalty was made, and therefore, no gain or loss was recorded on the transaction.
 
 
10

 
 
Consistent with the aforementioned guidance, the cash received related to the 15% carved-out production interest is treated as deferred revenue and amortized with production and payment to the holder.  The proportional amount of carrying value of oil and gas assets will be amortized with production to match the costs to the production periods.

Amortization was based on the independent reserve report and is subject to future changes in estimates.

On April 19, 2013, the Company sold the Great 8 leases, effectively eliminating the carve-out balance.    As such, no amortization was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  For the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, amortization of the carve out production was $11,132 and $2,197, respectively.

For the same reason, the deferred revenue was eliminated with the sale of the Great 8 leases.  No deferred revenue was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, amortization of the deferred revenue was $79,899 and $30,805, respectively.
  
Sale of Oil & Gas Properties

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company returned the property to the lender and was released from further obligations.  The carrying value on the Converse lease was zero and the debt relief and ARO were $258,566 and $166,882 resulting in a gain of $425,448.

During the first quarter of 2013 the Company sold a 5% net revenue interest within the San Juan #3 well located within the Company’s Belize lease for $45,000. The well is currently being drilled and is unproved at the time of this filing. The agreement entails that the Company return the $45,000 to the investor within 60 days if the well is considered to be a dry hole. Based on the uncertainty of the well at this time the $45,000 was accrued within liabilities as of September 30, 2013.

During the first quarter of 2013 the Company transferred the Willingham lease and equipment to the former lender on the property.  The carrying value at the time of the disposition for the related lease and well equipment was $54,741 and the carrying value of the related asset retirement obligation was $1,700. The Company recorded a loss of $53,041 on this disposition.

On April 19, 2013, the Company sold the Great 8 leases for a total of $550,000.  There have been subsequent amendments allowing full payment to be deferred until November 13, 2013.  However, the history of slow or minor payments resulted in our recognizing a bad debt loss against the note of $472,277.  After adjusting for the Carve-out production, various impairments, deferred revenues, asset retirement obligations and the effect of the bad debt loss, the Company is recognizing a net gain of $114,161.  Should further payments be made on the note they will be recognized as a gain.

None of our debts outstanding are contractually convertible. All conversions noted below were mutually agreed to between the lender and the Company which resulted in extinguishment accounting with gains or losses recorded based on the differences between the value of the shares issued compared to the debts relieved.

Promissory Note Issued for the Acquisition of the Great 8 lease (principal of $-0- and $211,494 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and accrued interest of $-0- and $6,461 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively)
 
On May 31, 2011, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $692,539 for the Great 8 leases in Texas, the payment terms of which are: monthly payments including interest and principal with the final payment due on September 1, 2012. This note accrues interest at 5%.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company paid off the note and accrued interest in full through borrowing from other lenders who the company is now indebted to for $275,000.  The difference was charged to interest expense. As an additional expense related to the original default on the former note payable, the Company transferred the Willingham lease and equipment to the former lender. The carrying value at the time of the disposition for the related lease and well equipment was $54,741, and the carrying value of the related asset retirement obligation was $1,700. The Company recorded a loss of $53,041 on this disposition.

On November 14, 2011, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $150,000 in return for a cash advance. Stated interest on the loan is at 12% with quarterly payments starting September 30, 2012.  On February 26, 2013, an additional loan advance of $400,000 was received.  Terms of the note included quarterly principal and interest payments.  The Company is currently in default on these notes, but have been working with the lender to rectify the outstanding issue.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, no principal or interest payments were made.

During the first quarter, we converted some of this debt through issuances of stock.  The conversion of 10,593,313 shares for relief of $62,500 of principal and interest resulted in a loss of $76,065.

On January 30, 2012, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $100,000 in return for a cash advance.  Payments are interest only at 5% per month for one year at which time the principal amount is due and payable.  This note is collateralized with 10,000,000 common shares of the Company. In the event the Company defaults on the note these shares would be owed to the lender. The agreement requires that the Company provide additional collateral if the fair value of the shares decreases below $200,000 while the note is outstanding.  As of September 30, 2013, the collateral exceeded $200,000.  At December 31, 2012, in accordance with the terms of the contract we added $50,000 to the note as a penalty for delinquent payments.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, no payments of principal or interest were made and  the note is in technical default, though we have been in negotiations with the lender to satisfy the debt balance.

During the first quarter, we converted some of this debt through issuances of stock.  The conversion of 12,598,360 shares valued at $144,228 for relief of $72,500 of principal and interest, resulted in a loss of $71,278.

On August 12, 2012, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $750,000 in return for a cash advance.  Payments are structured to be paid at a rate of 7% of royalties earned on three of the East Texas leases, plus one-half (1/2) of the net income derived from those wells until the note is paid in full.  The note specifies that repayment must be completed within 24 months.
 
There is no stated interest rate on the note; however, the Company has assigned a 7% royalty interest to the lender that will continue after the note is paid in full.  The Company has recognized the royalty interest as a discount on the note for $137,620 and is amortizing it over a 24 month period.  Amortization of $ 51,607 and $23,983 was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $1,494 of principal has been repaid on this loan.

On December 11, 2012, we issued a note for a cash advance of $20,000.  The note bears an interest rate of 18%.  Per the terms, payment was due on December 21, 2012, after which, in addition to interest on the outstanding amount, the Company is obligated to issue 100,000 shares per day until it is paid in full.  As of December 31, 2012, we have accrued $100 in interest and $17,110 for the value of the stock that was due on that date.  The stock was priced at the closing price of the stock on each day of accrual.  During January, 2013, a cash payment of $12,500 was made on this note, and on February 19, 2013, $65,100 was converted to 4,650,000 shares valued at $72,700 resulted in a $7,600 loss.  An additional gain of $45,914 was recognized for amounts forgiven by the holder with the extinguishment, resulting in a net gain with settlement of $38,314.

Promissory Note Issued for Cash Deposit (principal of $300,000 and $ -0- as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and accrued interest of $24,461 and $-0- as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively)
 
On March 28, 2013, we issued a note for a cash advance of $300,000.  $275,000 of the related proceeds from this note was used to pay off the aforementioned note in default relating to the Great 8 leases. The remaining $25,000 was received in cash. The note is collateralized by the note receivable we have from the sale of the Great 8 leases.  The balance of this note is due on 7/1/13 or when the leases are sold, whichever comes sooner.  As noted above, the leases have been sold; however, full payment from the buyer has not been received as of September 30, 2013; therefore this note was considered to be in default.

During the first quarter of 2013 the Company sold a 5% net revenue interest within the San Juan #3 well located within the Company’s Belize lease for $45,000.

Preferred Stock

On July 19, 2013, the Company contracted with an investor to issue 22,500 shares of Class A, Series F preferred stock for the return of 15,000,000 shares of free trading common stock of the Company.  The free-trading stocks obtained in this stock swap have been issued as follows:

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

On April 15, 2013, the Company issued 1,049,036 shares that exceeded our authorized amount of shares.  To account for this error, we initially recorded a Derivative Liability of $10,490 related to these shares.  Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices.  Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.  Upon recognition of the derivative liability, the Company reclassed the value initially recorded to additional paid in capital with the issuance for $10,490 related to the 1,049,036 shares to derivative liabilities. In adjusting the related derivative liability to the market price at September 30, 2013, the Company realized a loss of $1,994.   As of September 30, 2013, the derivative value of the shares was $12,484.

At April 15, 2013, the Company had a stock payable obligation of $1,066,019.  Until the increase of authorized shares is completed during the fourth quarter of 2013, we have re-classed the stock payable to Derivative Liability as there are not any authorized shares to settle this obligation.  In conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles we have recorded a liability of $3,094,544, recognizing a loss of $1,188,592 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment, and estimates.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013 the Company issued 15,000,000 common shares from treasury stock with a value of $513,000. These shares were issued to settle stock payable recorded within the derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities related to the stock payable relieved was marked to market on the settlement date at $200,679 and a loss of $312,321 was recorded due to the share value exceeding the derivative value settled.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10 upon inception at April 9, 2010. Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
 
The Company has derivative liabilities that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
 
  
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
  
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and 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, yield curves, etc.), 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 assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis contained in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the financial statements and notes hereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in future events.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013, compared with Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

We had $79,322 and $208,384  in net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 from our recent Texas acquisitions versus $75,667 and $145,770 for the same periods in 2012.  The second quarter of 2013 was a transitional period for the Company where low producing leases were sold and negotiations for improved fields was undertaken.  Revenues resumed and continue to grow throughout the third quarter.
 
Our lease operating expenses were $325,554 and $835,138 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus $310,315 and $699,671 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to less properties to maintain in Texas and a reduction in lease expenses in Belize,

General and administrative expenses have decreased from $4,680,631 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $435,173 in 2013, most notably due to 2012 including $4,217,770 in consulting expense paid with common shares.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, General and administrative expenses were $4,393,226 and $5,885,492, respectively, primarily due to the recording of consulting fees paid with stock.  Consulting fees paid through the issuance of the Company’s common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $251,400 and $2,606,203, respectively.

Our depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $67,546 and $240,445 as compared to $133,732 and $287,048 for the same periods in 2012,   
 
Interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $86,870 and $412,605 versus $41,507 and $136,384 for the same periods in 2012.
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
 
Currently, we are able to maintain our existing operations through funding agreements with related party companies.  The existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows are from sales of oil production.  We have determined that our existing capital structure is adequate to fund our planned growth.

We intend to finance our drilling, work over and acquisition program by related party loans and private debt offerings.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring the financing we are seeking.  Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of production, oil and gas prices and successful drilling efforts.  There can be no assurance that operations and other capital recourses will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain planned or future levels of capital expenditures.

Plan of Operation
 
On-Going Operations Strategy for Q3 and Beyond

The third quarter of 2013 was considered the initial implementation period for Treaty Energy Corporation’s (“the Company”) new oil and gas development strategy. The second quarter of 2013 marked the transition period in which the company liquidated certain assets, cut expenses and developed its future plans of operation. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company began a new primary operations strategy in Texas.
 
Change in Operations and Revenue Generation
 
The Company has changed its primary operations focus to west Texas in an attempt to increase the Company’s revenues and decrease outstanding liabilities. The Company’s efforts in west Texas have been notably successful and have prompted this operating change.
 
The new west Texas drilling plan is as follows:
 
1.  
Partner with a drilling partner to determine the possible production potential of a believed to be underdeveloped oil and gas lease, decreasing initial oil and gas exploration costs by at least 50%.
 
2.  
Receive data and initial production revenues from the lease to further potentially develop other leases in the area.
 
3.  
Develop and sustain operations on the exploratory lease temporarily while simultaneously building a list of possible vendors, operators and landowners in the area willing to work with the Company on future projects.
 
4.  
Find a lower cost and reputable drilling partner in the local area and expand drilling operations to other leases acquired during the temporary exploratory lease.
 
5.  
Once completed, either sell ownership interests or produce any and all new wells.
 
After successfully drilling two wells on the Mitchell lease (wells #3 & #4) in Tuscola, Texas. The Company was able to determine the profitability and possible production potential of the Taylor County Regular field. During the months of June-September a total of approximately 3,895.25 gross barrels of oil were sold (before oil docking) off of the Mitchell lease resulting a gross revenue of $380,484 before overriding royalty, interest splits and well completion/operations costs.  During the 4th quarter of 2013, these two wells were sold to an investor.
 
The Company recently drilled two additional wells on the adjacent Stockton Lease where it has completed one well and plans to perform well completion  operations within the next 30 days on the second well (if not already done by the time of this document’s release).
 
During this time the Company’s revenue stream has changed. After the success of the Mitchell lease, the Company recognized the investment demand for “turn-key” oil and gas properties. Recognizing shareholder concerns regarding immediate cash-flows, the Company plans to fully develop a well from start to finish and then sell the Company’s Net Revenue Interests and Working Interests on leases (or individual wells) to oil and gas investors. The Company will maintain some oil and gas income, but will likely result from unsold units of oil and gas wells/leases.
 
 
25

 
 
This financial strategy will allow the Company to partially if not completely off-set all oil and gas operating expenses to the buyers of oil and gas units and will keep well maintenance costs down. This strategy is not unique and is common of all oil and gas exploration and development companies. What makes the prospect attractive is that the Company bears a large portion of the risk of a dry hole and provides financial incentives to potential buyers since they are purchasing a “turn-key” well/lease unit.
 
Criticism of this strategy may stem from future well revenues being less than the selling prices of the wells. While true, the return on investment from these wells is expected to be between 3-10 years. Selling the units in advance provides immediate revenues to the Company allowing for an accelerated growth potential rather than a “wait and hold” for return on investment periods. The Company does maintain the position to produce, rather than sell, any new wells that it drills. The decision to sell or produce will be made at the time of completion.
 
The Company over the next three to six months plans to use funds from oil and gas development and ownership sales to pay off existing and acknowledged debts rapidly and to further fund operations in the Tuscola, Texas area.
 
Following plans to complete the Stockton Lease, the Company has a three phase plan to drill on the Kubacak lease. The Kubacak lease is located approximately 2.5mi away from TECO’s current operations on the Stockton and Mitchell leases. The Company’s first phase of operation calls for the Company to drill an exploratory well to determine the commercial production potential of the lease,  then expand linearly to two additional wells. The second phase calls for up to 10 additional wells. The third phase will expand the project to the maximum number of wells allowed on the lease if deemed to be worthwhile.
 
In addition to this financial and operating strategy shift, the Company plans to bring current and restore operations to its wholly owned operating subsidiary, C&C Petroleum Management, LLC. Noting shareholder concerns on accountability and transparency to the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Company wishes to ensure that all oil and gas production is fully transparent.
 
Currently, the Company utilizes third party contractors as operators. Under the operating agreements, these listed operators bear the sole responsibility of maintaining production reports and the Company is unable to file them on behalf of the lease operator, despite having an ownership interest in the well. Comments and concerns on the matter have been noted and management plans to address this concern by returning production report filings to the Company directly to restore investor confidence in this particular matter, despite oil and gas revenues being less impactful to the Company’s revenue stream.
 
Treaty Energy Drilling Operations

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Treaty Energy Drilling, LLC., will continue to provide contractual drilling services as internally restructured in early 2013. Currently the subsidiary is engaged in a long term drilling contract in Northern Louisiana. As announced, this long term contract is for 500 wells and is worth approximately $3,500,000. Drilling operations are expected to begin in late 2013/early 2014. Preliminary drilling work has begun on the lease and is expected to begin when all pre-drilling preparations are completed.
 
Belize Operations

Treaty Belize Energy, LTD., Treaty Energy Corporation’s Belize Subsidiary has drilled three exploratory wells in Southern Belize. The latest well, San Juan #3, is currently undergoing review due to the status of a stuck packer near the potential perforation zone. The Company will announce at a later date its next operational move in Belize.
 
Financing

The Company has made arrangements for private lending on many of the projects currently in progress.  As we progress we expect to require additional funds for the purchase of additional equipment, leases, and operations. The Company may, and will likely, increase the number of authorized shares (A/S) to fund additional projects. By raising funds through A/S increases, the Company will not have to seek external financing, maximizing project ROI potential.
 
There is no guarantee that the Company can raise the required capital to make acquisitions, drill new wells, or repair equipment on any acquired properties, or that undertaking such repairs, acquisitions and drilling program will make us profitable or self-sustaining.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this item.
 
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Our annual report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2012 reported the following material weaknesses:

1.  
As of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment.  Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures.  This has resulted in inconsistent practices.  Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute e a material weakness.

 
2.  
As of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.   Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
 
Management has been addressing these weaknesses during the three months ended September 30, 2013; however, believe that the material weakness assessment is unchanged.
 
Change In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In January, 2013, the Company was advised that legal remedies were being sought by the party involved in the rescission action pertaining to the Belize investment.  The Company disputes that the amount of $120,000 had become past due as the stock to be returned had not been returned at that point.  Aside from the stated amount due for the rescission and described in Note 14, the Company does not believe that any additional liability will be incurred.
 
On May 23, 2013, a vendor obtained a judgment against the Company for an unpaid invoice, plus court fees and interest of $98,070.  The Company accrued the liability and has established an installment agreement with the vendor.
 
We may be involved from time to time in ordinary litigation, negotiation and settlement matters that will not have a material effect on our operations or finances. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on our operations or finances, except as disclosed in this report.
