NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

1.	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and business

 

West Texas Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010 under the name Texas Resources Energy, Inc. On June 30, 2011, the Company changed its name to West Texas Resources, Inc. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in North America.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2013.

 

Oil and gas properties

 

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.

 

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.  

 

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.  On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that the investment in one of its oil and gas properties was impaired due to an unsuccessful fracking process. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment loss of $108,373 for the capitalized fracking costs.

 

Asset retirement obligations 

 

ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, clarifies that a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. ASC 410-20 requires a liability to be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and other cash flow statement supplemental information

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.  Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration of risk exposure.  Management believes this risk is not significant due to the financial strength of the financial institutions utilized by the Company.

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of these assets is included in income in the period of disposition.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company reports certain expenses differently for financial and tax reporting purposes and, accordingly, provides for the related deferred taxes.  Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

 

Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from 2010 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenue recognition

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is from sales of oil and gas production and is recognized based on sales or delivery date completed by the operating company.

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  For the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-based payments

 

Compensation costs for share-based awards with no market or performance conditions are measured based on the grant date fair value and are recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of share-based awards with market or performance conditions are measured upon the completion date. Excess tax benefits will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

 

The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

·

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

·

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

·

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

 

WEST TEXAS RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (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. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

2.

Equipment

 

In August 2011, the Company purchased a water truck for $35,759 cash. In October 2011, the Company's water truck was placed in service pursuant to a lease arrangement with an unaffiliated third party.  The lease required the lessee to pay the Company $2,500 per month plus 10% of the revenue collected by the lessee from its use or sublease of the truck. The lease was for a term of two years and the lessee had the option to purchase the truck at the end of the lease term for 75% of the Company's purchase price.  During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company terminated the lease and wrote off the lease income receivable of $5,616 as bad debt expense due to the lessee’s cash flow problems.

 

The Company calculated the depreciation of the truck using straight-line method with a useful life of three years. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $2,980.

 

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell the water truck for a cash amount of $25,000 and recorded a receivable of $21,316, net of a replacement cost of tires of $3,684. The Company received cash of $21,316 as full payment of the sale on January 3, 2013. In addition, the Company paid $4,858 in title fees and commission for selling the water truck in January 2013. For the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded loss on the disposal of a fixed asset of $5,265.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any equipment.

 

3.	Oil and Gas Properties

 

In September 2011, the Company acquired a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas, for $127,123 cash.

 

In October 2011, the operator of the Company's Eastland County prospect began drilling and fracturing operations. As of March 31, 2014, no revenue has yet to be derived from the wells.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that the investment in the Eastland County oil and gas properties was impaired due to unsuccessful fracking process. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment loss of $108,373 to write off the capitalized fracking costs. In addition, the Company determined and recorded its share of the asset retirement obligation of $10,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013.

 

 

WEST TEXAS RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company acquired a 7.24625% working interest in the oil and gas leases, wells and attendant production in the Port Hudson field, Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, for a total consideration of $702,900. The Port Hudson field has three producing wells with estimated total remaining recoverable proved developed producing reserves of 294,000 bbls and 229,000 bbls of proven developed behind pipes reserves. The wells are currently producing approximately 290 bbls per day. The Company’s working interest is subject to certain overriding royalty interests, subject to which it has a 5.65158% net revenue interest in the Port Hudson Field. The Company also assessed the asset retirement obligation on the Port Hudson field. Because the total cost of abandonment for the producing wells and related facilities will be substantially offset by the salvage value of the tangible equipment, the remaining costs will be insignificant. As a result, the Company did not record asset retirement obligation

 

On September 6, 2013, the Company acquired a 10.0167% working interest (7.2120% net revenue interest) in an offshore oil and gas field, known as West Cam 225, located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Cameron, Louisiana. The Company’s purchase price for the working interest was $50,000. In addition to the purchase price, the Company paid $230,459 to the operator of the West Cam 225 field in payment of the Company’s allocable share of the costs for development. Pursuant to the operating agreement, a fee of $0.31 per MCF is to be deducted from production revenue as accrual of asset retirement fund. The Company did not record asset retirement obligation.

 

On April 15, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with EnTek Partners, LLC for the sale of 44.1% of its working interest in the Port Hudson field for the total consideration of $290,000, less any payments received by the Company for production from the Port Hudson field occurring after January 1, 2014. Pursuant to the agreement with EnTek Partners, the Company sold to EnTek an undivided 3.1956% of 8/8ths working interest (2.4926% net revenue interest) out of the working interests in the Port Hudson field owned by the Company. After giving effect to the sale, the Company continue to hold a 4.0506% working interest (3.1595% net revenue interest) in the Port Hudson field.

 

Pursuant to the same agreement, EnTek Partners has also agreed to provide to the Company $275,000 in non-recourse financing to pay for its share of a dual recompletion in the D-1 well at West Cam 225 property in exchange for its agreement to provide EnTek Partners with 75% of the net profits derived by the Company from the West Cam 225 property until such time as EnTek Partners has recouped 100% of the recompletion costs advanced on the Company’s behalf and 50% of the net profits thereafter.

 

The transactions under the agreement closed on April 16, 2014, with an effective date of January 1, 2014. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a loss on sale of the working interest of $19,983.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, total oil and gas properties amounted to $692,126 and $1,002,109, respectively.

 

The operator of the West Cam 225 field has indicated that it intends to conduct a dual recompletion of the D-1 well in the fourth quarter of 2014.  If the operator conducts the dual recompletion, the Company expects to be assessed up to $275,000 as its share of the expected costs.  Pursuant to its agreement with EnTek Partners, EnTek Partners has agreed to pay on the Company’s behalf up to $275,000 of the Company’s share of the costs in connection with the dual recompletion.  The Company will be responsible for its share of the costs in excess of $275,000.  In the event that the Company’s share of the costs of the dual recompletion are not paid pursuant to the joint operating agreement for any reason, the Company’s share of the net proceeds from the West Cam 225 field shall be apportioned amongst the other working interest holders until they have received, by way of the Company’s share of the net proceeds, 300% of its unpaid costs. In the event EnTek Partners defaults on its obligation to pay up to $275,000 of the Company’s share of the dual recompletion costs, the Company will have right to repurchase from EnTek Partners for $1.00  the working interest in the Port Hudson field the Company sold to EnTek Partners in April 2014.

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

 

Cautionary Statement

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our common stock. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on January 14, 2014 and our subsequently filed periodic reports, which discuss our business in greater detail.

 

In this report we make, and from time to time we otherwise make, written and oral statements regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in documents, reports, filings with the SEC, news releases, written or oral presentations made by officers or other representatives made by us to analysts, stockholders, investors, news organizations and others, and discussions with management and other of our representatives.

 

Our future results, including results related to forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those risks included in the section “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on January 14, 2014. No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Our forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to revision. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement.

 

General

 

We were formed on December 9, 2010 under the laws of Nevada for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and development in North America. We commenced revenue producing oil and gas operations effective as of April 1, 2013.

 

In September 2011, we acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas. The Eastland County prospect includes two exploratory wells, known as Rutherford #1 and C.M. Knott #1, that had been operating at a minimum level required to maintain the lease rights. In October 2011, the operator reentered the Rutherford #1 well and conducted drilling and casing activities, which were completed in November 2011. In January 2012, a third party conducted the fracture stimulation of the Rutherford #1. In February 2013, the operator placed a pump jack on the Rutherford #1 well, however no meaningful revenue has been derived from the well to date. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we determined that our investment in the Eastland County prospect was impaired due to an unsuccessful fracture stimulation of the Rutherford #1. Accordingly, during the third fiscal quarter of 2013, we recorded an impairment loss of $108,373 to write off the capitalized fracture stimulation costs. The operator has undertaken no further activity on the Eastland County prospect as of the date of this report.

 

Port Hudson Field

 

In August 2013, we acquired a 7.24625% working interest (5.65158% net revenue interest) in the oil and gas leases, wells and attendant production in the Port Hudson field, Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, from Wells Fargo Energy Capital, Inc. for total consideration of $702,900. Our acquisition of the Port Hudson working interest was effective as of April 1, 2013. Accordingly, we have received revenue from the Port Hudson working interest commencing on April 1, 2013.

 

On April 15, 2014, we entered into an agreement with EnTek Partners, LLC for the sale of 44.1% of our working interest in the Port Hudson field for the total consideration of $290,000, less any payments received by us for production from the Port Hudson field occurring after January 1, 2014. Pursuant to our agreement with EnTek Partners, we sold to EnTek an undivided 3.1956% of 8/8ths working interest (2.4926% net revenue interest) out of the working interests in the Port Hudson field owned by us. The transactions under the EnTek Partners agreement closed on April 16, 2014, with an effective date of January 1, 2014. After giving effect to the sale, we continue to hold a 4.0506% working interest (3.1595% net revenue interest) in the Port Hudson field.

 

The Port Hudson field has three producing wells that have produced a total of 1.24 million bbls as of March 31, 2014 with estimated total remaining recoverable proved developed producing reserves of 199,778 bbls (6,312 bbls net to West Texas Resources after giving effect to the transaction with EnTek Partners), and 229,000 bbls of proven developed behind pipe reserves (6,983 bbls net to West Texas Resources after giving effect to the transaction with EnTek Partners) and are currently producing approximately 270 bbls per day. The operator of the Port Hudson field has no current plans for the further development of the property.

 

West Cam 225 Field

 

In September 2013, we acquired a 10.0167% working interest (7.2120% net revenue interest) in an offshore oil and gas field, known as West Cam 225, located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Cameron, Louisiana, from Enovation Resources, LLC for total consideration of $50,000. Concurrent with our purchase of the working interest, we also paid the operator $230,459 as our allocable share of the expenses associated with the West Cam 225 property. Pursuant to our April 15, 2014 agreement with EnTek Partners, LLC, EnTek Partners has also agreed to provide to us $275,000 in non-recourse financing to pay for our share of a dual recompletion in the D-1 well at the West Cam 225 property in exchange for our agreement to provide EnTek Partners with 75% of the net profits derived by us from the West Cam 225 property until such time as EnTek Partners has recouped 100% of the recompletion costs advanced on our behalf and 50% of the net profits thereafter. The transactions under the EnTek Partners agreement closed on April 16, 2014, with an effective date of January 1, 2014.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the West Cam 225 field had proven reserves of 10.7 bcf of gas and 14.7 mbc or 1.8 million net equivalent bbls (61,453 net equivalent bbls net to West Texas Resources after giving effect to the transaction with EnTek Partners) and has two producing wells, the #7 and the D-1, that were previously shut-in and waiting on a sales pipeline connection. The pipeline was completed and tested in August 2013 and now the two wells are currently producing at a combined gross rate of 2 mmcfd. As of March 31, 2014, the D-1 well has overproduced its expected recoverable reserves in its original completion in the 6,800’ Sand and is currently producing at a high water cut. The operator presently intends to perform a dual recompletion on the D-1 well in the fourth quarter of 2014, at which time the two wells will be recompleted uphole into the 2,600’ sand in the short string and the 5,900’ sand in the long string and are expected to produce at a combined rate of 7.5 mmcfd and thereby provide access to 7.93 bcf and 14.7 mbc of gross proved behind pipe reserves.

 

Results of Operations

 

We commenced revenue producing oil and gas operations effective as of April 1, 2013. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, we had $67,298 and $168,858 of revenue, respectively, all of which was oil and gas sales derived from our working interest in the Port Hudson field which we acquired effective as of April 1, 2013. We had no revenue during the prior year periods.

 

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had general and administrative expenses of $306,536 and $55,297, respectively. We had general and administrative expenses of $470,436 and $106,436 during the six month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to increased consulting fees, non-cash expenses related to stock option grants and operational costs during the periods ended March 31, 2014, compared to the prior year periods, as a result of our commencement of revenue producing operations in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013. Notwithstanding the increase in our general and administrative expenses, we realized positive cash flow from operations in the amount of $45,056 during the six months ended March 31, 2014, compared to negative cash flow from operations of $(106,940) for the prior year period.

 

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had other expenses of $56,517 and $4,858, respectively. We had other expenses of $231,196 and $8,245 for the six month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in other expenses was due primarily to an increase in interest expense and amortized debt discount during the periods ended March 31, 2014 related to our borrowings conducted during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2013, compared to no interest expense or debt discount for the prior year periods.

 

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred a net loss of $(295,755) and $(60,155), respectively. We had a net loss of $(532,774) and $(114,681) for the six month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in our net loss was the result of an increase in expenses during the periods ended March 31, 2014 compared to the prior year periods, offset by an increase of revenue between the same periods.

 

 

Subject to our receipt of additional capital, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of additional equity interests in oil and gas properties to be thereafter exploited by us in conjunction with other oil and gas producers. As of the date of this report, we have no understandings or agreements in place concerning our acquisition of an interest in any other properties.

 

At the present time, we have two employees, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Stephen Jones and John Kerr, respectively, each of whom has limited experience in the oil and gas exploration and development business. Subject to our receipt of significant additional capital, we intend to hire senior management and staff with experience in oil and gas exploration. Until such time, we intend to pursue an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects as a non-operator. Based on that strategy, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of oil and natural gas interests in partnership with other companies with exploration, development and production expertise. We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing. Pursuant to this strategy, we intend to engage and rely on third party geologists and geophysicists, among others, to review the available data concerning each potential acquisition. In each case, we expect that the operator of the prospect will assemble the appropriate data and conduct the appropriate studies and that our consultants will conduct an independent review of the operator’s data and studies for purposes of advising us of the merits of each potential acquisition.

 

The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital. Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to acquire the additional capital required to finance the acquisition of such properties and our share of the development costs. As explained under “Financial Condition” below, we will seek additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.

 

Financial Condition

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had total assets of $1,050,714 and negative working capital of $(70,828). Our ability to achieve commercial success is dependent on our ability to obtain additional capital either through the additional sale of our equity or debt securities, bank lines of credit, project financing or cash generated from oil and gas operations. We seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing. However, we have no agreements or understandings with any third parties at this time for our receipt of additional working capital and we have a limited history of generating cash from oil and gas operations. We may not be able to obtain access to capital as and when needed and, if so, the terms of any available financing may not be subject to commercially reasonable terms.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on this evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief accounting officer, concluded that as of March 31, 2014 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to existing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.

 

In connection with our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013, and included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 14, 2014, we determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff, including:

 

	·	Due to our small size, we do not maintain effective internal controls to assure segregation of duties as we have only two employees who are responsible for initiating and approving of transactions, thereby creating the segregation of duties weakness;
	·	Our board of directors does not have an audit committee or a financial expert to maintain effective oversight of our financial reporting process; and
	·	Lack of formal policies or procedures to provide assurance that relevant information is identified, captured, processed, and reported in an appropriate and timely fashion.

 

 

(b)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, we conducted the private placement sale of 52,000 shares of our common stock, at the offering price of $0.50 per share, for the gross proceeds of $26,000. The issuances were exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 there under.  The investors were accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.   The offering was conducted by our management.  No sales commissions or finders’ fees were paid by us or anyone else.
