Breitling Energy Corporation
 
 
 
1. Basis of Presentation
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and present fairly the consolidated financial position of Breitling Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or “Breitling”) as of June 30, 2014 and the results of their operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information applied on a consistent basis. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2014, as well as all subsequent reports on Forms 8-K and Schedule 14C. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for prior periods in order to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Principles of Consolidation and Combination
 
The consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the historical combined results of the Predecessors (defined below) prior to the reverse recapitalization completed on December 9, 2013, and the consolidated results of the Company thereafter. All intercompany and inter-entity transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation and combination.
 
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
 
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.
 
2. Organization and nature of operations
 
Breitling Energy Corporation was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 13, 2000 under the name “Folix Technologies, Inc.” On August 18, 2004, the Company changed its name to Dragon Gold Resources, Inc. On June 22, 2007, the Company changed its name to Edgeline Holdings, Inc. and on March 11, 2008 to Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc. On September 7, 2010, the Company changed its name to Bering Exploration, Inc. and on January 20, 2014, to Breitling Energy Corporation.
 
On December 9, 2013 , the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement  with Breitling Oil and Gas Corporation, a Texas corporation (“O&G”) and Breitling Royalties Corporation, a Texas corporation (“Royalties,” and collectively with O&G, the “Predecessors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Predecessors 461,863,084 shares of Common Stock, in exchange for substantially all of the oil and gas assets owned by the Predecessors (the “Transaction”). In connection with the closing of the Transaction, all of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes were converted into shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issued to the Predecessors represent approximately 92.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding following the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”). The Transaction results in the owners of the Predecessors (the “accounting acquirer”) having actual or effective operating control of the Company after the Transaction, with the stockholders of the Company (the “legal acquirer”) continuing only as passive investors. The Closing did not affect the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Company’s existing public stockholders.
 
 
6

 
The Predecessors were considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes because they obtained effective control of the Company.  The Predecessors did not have a change in control since the Predecssors’ operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity, their senior management became the senior management of the combined entity, and their former owners own a majority of the voting interest in the combined entity and are able to elect a majority of the combined entity’s board of directors. Accordingly, the Transactions does not constitute the acquisition of a business for purposes of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 805, “Business Combinations,” or ASC 805. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the Predecssors are carried at historical cost and the Company has not recorded any step-up in basis or any intangible assets or goodwill as a result of the Transaction. The historical financial statements presented herein for the periods prior to December 9, 2013 are that of the Predecessors.  Historical financial statements for periods after December 9, 2013 include the combined business of the Company and the Predecessors.

4. Subsequent Events
 
The Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock upon receipt of  $20,000 in cash delivered as the exercise price to acquire such shares under an outstanding warrant agreement.  There were no other unregistered sales of its securities from July 1, 2014 through August 10, 2014.
 
5. Commitment and Contingencies
 
Legal
 
From time to time, the Company may become subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims in the ordinary course of business including working interest rescissions and operator disputes. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company accrued $166,000 to settle working interest rescissions.
 
Oil and Natural Gas Regulations
 
The Company is subject to various possible contingencies that arise primarily from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations affecting the oil and natural gas industry. Such contingencies include differing interpretations as to the prices at which oil and natural gas sales may be made, the prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases, environmental issues and other matters. Although management believes that it has complied with the various laws and regulations, administrative rulings and interpretations thereof, adjustments could be required as new interpretations and regulations are issued. In addition, environmental matters are subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies.

Results of Operation
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013:
 
Revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company generated revenues of $16,032,000, an increase of $10,484,000, or 189% as compared to the same period last year. The Company has increased revenues through sales of royalty interests and third party drilling in oil and gas properties due to increased available inventory and demand as compared to the same period in the prior year.
 
Total Expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, total expenses, which include costs of third party drilling, marketing, professional fees, depreciation, operating costs and general and administrative expenses, were $15,088,000 compared to $5,328,000 during the same period in 2013. This change represents an increase of $9,760,000, or 183%. The increase was primarily due to increased costs associated with developing inventory for sales and increased expenses associated with being a public company.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six months ended June 30, 2013:
 
Revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company generated revenues of $32,943,000, an increase of $19,436,000, or 144% as compared to the same period last year. The Company recognized deferred revenues of $4,609,041 and the Company has increased revenues through sales of royalty interests and third party drilling in oil and gas properties due to increased available inventory and demand as compared to the same period in the prior year.
 
Total Expenses.

This change represents an increase of $12,192,000, or 94%. The increase was primarily due to increased costs associated with developing inventory to sell and expenses associated with being a public company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2014:
 
The Company has improved its net working capital as of June 30, 2014 by $7,526,598 to $237,795 from a defcit of $7,288,803 as of December 31, 2013. The improvement was generated by the reversal of deferred revenue and cash flow generated from operations.
 
Net cash provided in operating activities of $3,743,992 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased from $2,015,529 for the same period last year, an increase of $1,728,463. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues and increased profitability as compared to the same period last year.
 
Net cash used in investing activities of $33,291 was primarily utilized to acquire office equipment as the Company added additional staff necessary for increased revenues.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
From time to time, the Company enters into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to off-balance sheet obligations. As of June 30, 2014, the off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that the Company had entered into included operating lease agreements and gas transportation commitments. The Company does not believe that these arrangements are reasonably likely to materially affect its liquidity or availability of, or requirements for, capital resources currently or in the future.
 
 
Not applicable.
 
 
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which the Company refers to as disclosure controls, are controls and procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)  and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
 
As of June 30, 2014, an internal evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and the CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that, as of such date, the design and operation of these disclosure controls were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
The Company is not a party to any material pending legal or governmental proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the industry. While the ultimate outcome and impact of any proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of any proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations.
