NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2014


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial statements of Homeland Resources Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Homeland”, or the “Company”) are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, interest rates, drilling risks, geological risks, the timing of acquisitions, and our ability to obtain additional capital. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Homeland’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 29, 2013. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
 
As of January 31, 2014, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1,242,766 and for the six months ended January 31, 2014, our net loss from operations was $72,744.  Our results of operations have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $564,976 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $354,806 as of January 31, 2014.  We have participated in the drilling of test wells on undeveloped properties.  We plan further participation in a drilling program for the remainder of the fiscal year.  It is difficult to anticipate our capital requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year as significant drilling activities will continue. We will need to raise equity or borrow additional capital to fund our continued participation in planned activities. If additional financing is not available, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our business activities.  If we are unable to fund our operating cash flow needs and planned capital investments, it may be necessary to sell all or a portion of our interests in our oil and gas properties.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists of amounts receivable from oil and gas sold from our well interests. As of January 31, 2014, our accounts receivable amounted to $20,000, all of which is due from one party, the operator of our oil and gas properties.  Management believes this amount to be fully collectible; we will continue to monitor accounts receivable for collectability on a periodic basis.

Asset Retirement Obligation – Asset retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The estimated fair value of the future costs associated with dismantlement, abandonment and restoration of oil and gas properties is recorded generally upon the completion of a well. The net estimated costs are discounted to present values using a risk adjusted rate over the estimated economic life of the oil and gas properties. Such costs are capitalized as part of the related asset. The asset is depleted on the units-of-production method on a field-by-field basis. The liability is periodically adjusted to reflect: (1) new liabilities incurred; (2) liabilities settled during the period; (3) accretion expense; and (4) revisions to estimated future cash flow requirements. The accretion expense is recorded as a component of depreciation, depletion accretion and amortization expense in the accompanying statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and interest payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

HOMELAND RESOURCES LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2014


NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Concentrations - The Company received 100% of its revenues from the operator of its oil and gas properties during the fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2013 and 2014.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue when production is sold at a fixed or determinable price, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.

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

NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued, ASU No. 2013-11 "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" (“ASU 2013-11”).  ASU 2013-11 addresses the diversity in practice that exists for the balance sheet presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for the Company’s fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2014. ASU 2013-11 impacts balance sheet presentation only. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new rule but believes the balance sheet impact will not be material.

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature, reclassification of other comprehensive income or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 5 – INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
 
Diluted net income per common share is computed in the same manner, but also considers the effect of common stock shares underlying any instrument that might have a dilutive impact on weighted average shares outstanding.

As of January 31, 2014 we did not have any instruments which would have an impact on our weighted average shares outstanding.

Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project 

In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in the Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project for a total buy-in cost of $46,250.  The project initially provided for the acquisition of approximately 135 miles of 3D seismic data to identify drillable prospects in a study area comprising 119,680 acres in Oklahoma.  The Washita prospect area is located in Cleveland, Garvin, McCain and Pottawatomie Counties, Oklahoma.  On May 14, 2013, drilling commenced on the first of an anticipated 8-well Phase-I exploration program. Of the first six wells drilled in connection with this Phase-I exploration program five have been deemed to be non-economic. As per the terms of the initial purchase agreement, we will participate in all eight wells to be drilled in the Phase-I exploration program.

As a component of the initial Washita Bend purchase agreement, we acquired from the seller a 5% carried working interest to casing point in the first eight wells drilled on this prospect area. We have committed to participate in the drilling of the initial eight wells in the Phase-1 exploration program. Should we fail to participate in the drilling of any of the Phase-1 wells, we are subject to forfeit our right to our share of seismic data gathered.

2010–1 Drilling Program
 
In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in the 2010-1 Drilling Program located in Garvin County, Oklahoma for total buy-in costs of $39,163. Of the four wells in which we participated related to this program three wells went on production.

On December 3, 2013 we conveyed our interest in the Miss Jenny #1-8 to the operator of the well, for total consideration of $200,000 effective November 1, 2013. We received $141,505 in cash and a credit of $58,495 against accrued Joint Interest billing costs owed to the operator. We have recorded a gain in connection with this conveyance in the amount of $147,978.

Impairment

Under the full cost method, the Company is subject to a ceiling test.  This ceiling test determines whether there is any impairment to the proved properties.  The impairment amount represents the excess of capitalized costs over the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from the proven oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value.

Depletion

Under the full cost method, depletion is computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves, or upon reasonable estimates where proved reserves have not yet been established due to the recent commencement of production.  Depletion expense recognized was $20,460 and $6,251 for the three month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $38,558 and $8,388 for the six month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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

General

Our original business plan was to proceed with the exploration of the Home Ranch Prospect to determine whether there were commercially exploitable reserves of minerals located on the property comprising such mineral claims.  In fiscal 2010, we determined that our ability to explore for minerals on these claims had become economically non-feasible and we therefore suspended our activities on the Home Ranch Prospect indefinitely in order to focus on our oil and gas interests.  We did not conduct any operations or exploration activities on the Home Ranch Prospect during the six month period ended January 31, 2014.  At the time of this report, we do not know when or if we will proceed with the Home Ranch Prospect.
 
In April 2010, we acquired working interests in a seismic exploration program as well as a drilling program in oil and gas properties located in Oklahoma, as further described below.  Our present plan of operation is to continue to invest in oil and gas properties. 

Oil and Gas Properties

“Bbl” is defined herein to mean one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

“Mcf” is defined herein to mean one thousand cubic feet of natural gas at standard atmospheric conditions.

Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project   

In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in the Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project for a total buy-in cost of $46,250.  The project initially provided for the acquisition of approximately 135 miles of 3D seismic data to identify drillable prospects in a study area comprising 119,680 acres in Oklahoma.  The Washita prospect area is located in Cleveland, Garvin, McCain and Pottawatomie Counties, Oklahoma.  On May 14, 2013, drilling commenced on the first of an anticipated 8-well Phase-I exploration program. Of the first six wells drilled in connection with this Phase-I exploration program five have been deemed to be non-economic. As per the terms of the initial purchase agreement, we will participate in all eight wells to be drilled in the Phase-I exploration program.

As a component of the initial Washita Bend purchase agreement, we acquired from the seller a 5% carried working interest to casing point in the first eight wells drilled on this prospect area. We have committed to participate in the drilling of the initial eight wells in the Phase-1 exploration program. Should we fail to participate in the drilling of any of the Phase-1 wells, we are subject to forfeit our right to our share of seismic data gathered.

2010–1 Drilling Program

In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in the 2010-1 Drilling Program located in Garvin County, Oklahoma for total buy-in costs of $39,163. Of the four wells in which we participated related to this program three wells went on production.

On December 3, 2013 we conveyed our interest in the Miss Jenny #1-8 to the operator of the well, for total consideration of $200,000. We received $141,505 in cash and a credit of $58,495 against accrued Joint Interest billing costs owed to the operator. We have recorded a gain in connection with this conveyance in the amount of $147,978.

Loans

On August 12, 2013 and September 6, 2013, we borrowed $45,000 and $30,000, respectively, from Radium Ventures Corp. The borrowings are two year demand notes and accrue interest at 6.5% annually. On October 10, 2013 and October 21, 2013, we borrowed $7,500 and $7,500, respectively, from two lenders - $7,500 from our Chief Financial Officer, Paul D. Maniscalco, and $7,500 from an individual shareholder, in order to pay expenditures relating to our share of the drilling programs. The short term notes bear interest at 15%, and principal and interest are due and payable in six equal installments commencing on February 1, 2014. The notes are
 
 
11

 
convertible into shares of our common stock at $.02 per share (a) at the election of the noteholders, (b) at any time after maturity, or (c) upon the event of default. In connection with this embedded conversion feature we have recorded a charge of $15,000 to interest expense during the quarter ended October 31, 2013. Subsequent to January 31, 2014 these notes matured and are past due.

Results of Operations

Three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2013.

Revenues - We recognized $28,658 in revenues during the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared with $45,157 for the three months ended January 31, 2013.  The decrease in revenue recognized of $16,499 or 37% relates to the sale of our interests in the Miss Jenny #1-8, with an effective date of November 1, 2013, offset slightly by the addition of one well in our Phase-I drilling program coming on production. Other decreases in production volume resulted from natural decline curves in the wells in which we have ownership interests.

Expenses - During the three months ended January 31, 2014, we incurred operating expenses of $59,478 as compared to $145,807 during the three months ended January 31, 2013, resulting in a decrease of $86,329 or 59%.  The increase in direct costs is primarily attributable to the following:

·    
decreased lease operating expenses of $1,585 as compared to $5,557 in the corresponding prior period; and
·    
decreased general and administrative expense to $26,861 as compared to $123,161 in the corresponding prior period. Decreases in general and administrative expense relate primarily to decreased share based compensation of $0 in the current period as compared to $80,000 in the prior period.  In January 2013, we appointed Paul D. Maniscalco to serve as our chief operating officer and chief financial officer.  We granted 500,000 shares of common stock, valued at $80,000, to Mr. Maniscalco in connection with this appointment. Also contributing to the decrease in general and administrative expense was a decrease of $17,000 in advertising and promotion, from $17,000 in the prior period, to $0 in the current period.

Decreases in operating expenses were offset slightly by an increase in depreciation, depletion and accretion (“DD&A”) expense to $20,532 as compared to $6,589 in the corresponding prior period. The increase in DD&A resulted primarily from increases in our depletion rate resultant from negative adjustments to the pool of capitalized costs incurred in connection with the conveyance of the interests in one of our producing wells partially offset with decreases in our recoverable reserves related to the conveyance.

Other expenses - We incurred $16,111 in other expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to $17,441 during the three months ended January 31, 2013. Charges to other expense relate to interest expense related to our loans and the amortization of deferred financing costs. Outstanding balances on our loans have increased when compared to the prior period, while deferred financing fees have been fully amortized as of the current period resulting in decreased amortization expense.

Other income - We conveyed our interests in the Miss Jenny #1-8 well during the three months ended January 31, 2014.  The sale of this interest resulted in the Company recognizing a gain on the conveyance of $147,978.

Six months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2013.

Revenues - We recognized $59,916 in revenues during the six months ended January 31, 2014, compared with $56,140 for the six months ended January 31, 2013. The increase in revenue recognized of $3,776 or 7% relates to increased production volumes over the six month period. Overall increases in the production volumes relate to statutory limits placed on production in the prior period. During the six months ended January 31, 2014 these production limits were lifted; however effective November 1, 2013 we sold our interest in the Miss Jenny #1-8. An additional well came on production in December 2013.

Expenses - During the six months ended January 31, 2014, we incurred operating expenses of $132,660 as compared to $208,056 during the six months ended January 31, 2013, resulting in a decrease of $75,396 or 36%.  The increase in direct costs is primarily attributable to the following:
 
 
12

 
·    
decreased lease operating expenses of $3,702 as compared to $9,573 in the corresponding prior period; and
·    
decreased general and administrative expenses to $69,256 as compared to $168,962 in the corresponding prior period. Decreases in general and administrative expense relate primarily to increased share based compensation of $nil (as described elsewhere herein) as compared to $80,000 in the corresponding prior period,   marketing and promotions expense of $nil as compared to $17,000 in the corresponding prior period and decreases in legal expense and management fees.

Decreases in operating expenses were offset slightly by depreciation, depletion accretion and amortization expense of $38,702 as compared to $8,521 in the corresponding prior period. The increase in DD&A resulted primarily from increases in our depletion rate resultant from negative adjustments to the pool of capitalized costs incurred in connection with the conveyance of the interests in one of our producing wells partially offset with decreases in our recoverable reserves related to the conveyance.

Other expenses – We incurred $46,456 in other expenses during the six months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to $34,882 during the six months ended January 31, 2013 resulting in an increase of $11,574 or 33%.  The increase in other expenses is attributable to increased interest expense related to increases in our notes payable balances during the current period versus the comparable prior period. Increased interest expense was offset slightly by decreased amortization of deferred financing fees.

Other income - We conveyed our interests in the Miss Jenny #1-8 well during the six months ended January 31, 2014.  The conveyance of this interest resulted in the Company recognizing a gain on the conveyance of $147,978.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2014, we had cash of $114,947 compared to cash of $5,989 as of July 31, 2013.  Our working capital deficit at January 31, 2014 was $1,242,766, compared to $1,220,532 as of July 31, 2013. The increase in our working capital deficit relates to increased cash balances offset by cash used in operations, coupled with increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and increases in accounts payable due to related parties offset by increases in prepaid expenses.

We anticipate that we will be required to make additional expenditures relating to our share of continuing drilling programs during the remainder of the fiscal year 2014. As of January 31, 2014, our cash balance was $114,947, and such cash will not be sufficient to meet our requirements under our existing agreements. The ability to draw on our loan facility with Radium expired on December 31, 2011. $649,709 of the total amount drawn on our credit facility, which were due 36 months from initial funding, are past due. Two short term loans totaling $15,000 have matured and are past due. Although we are in negotiations with Radium to extend our credit instruments and despite the fact that the lender has advanced us additional funds, there is no assurance that we will reach such an agreement before we are required to make any expenditures in excess of what we hold in cash. If we exhaust all our cash, are unable to timely arrange for new financing, and do not pay our share of potential drilling program costs, we will be in default of our agreements with the operator of our properties. In such event of default, we may incur significant liabilities, and potentially forfeit our rights to our acquired interests. The conveyance of the interests in one of our producing wells with an effective date of November 1, 2013 may place additional constraints on our cash.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2014 was $9,994 as compared to cash used of $(11,336) for the six months ended January 31, 2013.  The increase in net cash provided by investing activities relates to the conveyance of interests in oil and gas properties for which we received net proceeds of $141,505 offset by investments in oil and gas properties of $(131,511), as compared to the corresponding prior period wherein we invested $(11,336) in oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities.  We received $90,000 in cash from financing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to $nil in the corresponding prior period. Borrowings during the current period were comprised of $75,000 in short term borrowings from Radium Ventures and short term borrowings of $7,500 from our Chief Financial Officer and $7,500 from an individual shareholder.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of January 31, 2014.

Going Concern

In its report prepared in connection with our fiscal year 2013 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph stating that, because we had an accumulated deficit of $593,754 and a working capital deficit of $1,220,532 at July 31, 2013, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  At January 31, 2014, our accumulated deficit was $564,976, our stockholder’s deficit amounted to $354,806, and our working capital deficit was $1,242,766.  Our continued existence will depend in large part upon our ability to raise sufficient additional capital adequate to fund our participation in drilling and seismic programs through debt and or equity offerings.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases and oral statements made by our officials to analysts and shareholders in the course of presentations about the Company, constitute “forward-looking statements.”   Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements.  Such factors include, among other things: (1) the prices of oil and gas; (2) general economic and business conditions; (3) interest rate changes; (4) the relative stability of the debt and equity markets; (5) government regulations particularly those related to the natural resources industries; (6) required accounting changes; (7) disputes or claims regarding our property interests; and (8) other factors over which we have little or no control.

Item 3.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.      Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our Management including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 
 
14

 

Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2013, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal year end. This evaluation was conducted by President and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation we have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective since the following significant deficiency:

·  
There is an inherent lack of segregation of duties with respect to certain transactions involving cash and accounts payable.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our President and Chief Financial Officer have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of January 31, 2014. In making this assessment, the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (1992 version).

In conducting the evaluation, Our President and Chief Financial Officer considered advice from our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, StarkSchenkein, LLP (“StarkSchenkein”). StarkSchenkein indicates that there may be significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, the following potential deficiency has been noted:

·  
We do not have proper segregation of duties with respect to certain transactions involving cash and accounts payable.

As a result of this deficiency in our internal controls, Our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded further that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures may not be effective and that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our Executive Officers also considered various mitigating factors in making this determination. Officers also noted that we are still evaluating and implementing changes in our internal controls in response to the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley §404. During fiscal year ending July 31, 2014, we will attempt to implement appropriate changes as they are identified, including changes to remediate the significant deficiencies in our internal controls. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in making these changes as they may be considered cost prohibitive.
 
Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our Chief Financial Officer and President have concluded that there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
