UNITED AMERICAN PETROLEUM CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Operations

United American Petroleum Corp. (“United” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. United’s principal business is the acquisition and management of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases.

 

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. The principles for interim consolidated financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the condensed results for the interim periods. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. We made certain reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the current presentation.

2.Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred a net loss and negative operating cash flows since inception through June 30, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management is implementing plans to sustain the Company’s cash flow from operating activities and/or acquire additional capital funding. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3.Related Party Transactions

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a related party receivable in the amount of $97,493 due from a company with working interest amounts payable. This represents a $2,043 decrease from an amount of $99,536 as of December 31, 2013. Our directors are also officers in this company.

4.Convertible Notes and Detached Warrants

 

Convertible Promissory Note – January 31, 2013

On January 31, 2013, we entered into a convertible promissory note (“Note”) with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) pursuant to which JMJ agreed to lend the Company up to $400,000 in multiple installments in exchange for a senior secured

6
 

convertible promissory note with a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price per share during the previous 25 trading days. The first installment of $55,000 was delivered less a fee of $5,000 on the date of the Note. The second installment of $25,000 was delivered in April 2013. The Note matures on January 31, 2014, or upon default, whichever is earlier, and bears interest at an annual rate of 12%. As described in Note 5, the embedded conversion feature qualified for liability classification at fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $55,000 to the Note payable on issuance of the first installment. The Company also recorded a discount of $25,000 to the Note payable on issuance of the second installment. As of June 30, 2014, there was $14,783 in outstanding principal and $18,333 in outstanding original interest discount (OID) on this Note.

 

On January 7, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 2,800,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0011 for a total of $6,380 principal converted. Later in January 2014, JMJ submitted another conversion request under its Note; however, the Company was unable to comply with this request due to insufficient authorized shares of common stock. The lack of authorized shares constituted a default pursuant to the Note. The Company promptly notified JMJ of its inability to honor the conversion request. Subsequently, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common shares of the Company to 750,000,000 shares, effective June 3, 2014. JMJ has not expressed an intention to assert the remedies set forth in the Note at this time.

 

On June 9, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 3,000,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0011 for a total of $3,300 principal converted.

 

On June 27, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 4,600,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.00115 for a total of $5,290 principal converted.

 

Convertible Note – February 19, 2013

 

On February 19, 2013, we entered into a Note with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”) pursuant to which Asher lent $103,500 to us in a single installment (minus fees of $3,500). Principal and interest outstanding under the Note can be converted into common stock of the Company at a price equal to 60% of the average lowest trading price per share during the previous 10 trading days. The embedded conversion option cannot be exercised until 180 days from the date of the note and as such, was not priced until exercisable. The total number of conversion shares is calculated by dividing the amount of the notes by the conversion price.

 

On January 2, 2014, Asher exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 2,235,294 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0017, for a total of $3,800 accrued interest converted.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the principal on this note had been fully converted. Upon conversion of the final accrued interest of $3,800 in the first quarter of 2014 described above, the obligations relating to the note were fully satisfied.

 

Convertible Note – April 22, 2013

 

On April 22, 2013, we entered into another Note with Asher pursuant to which Asher lent $63,000 (minus fees of $3,000) to us in a single installment with a conversion price equal to 60% of the average lowest trading price per share during 5 of the previous 10 trading days.

7
 

On January 7, 2014, Asher converted $5,240 of principal of the Note into 2,757,895 shares of common stock. On January 13, 2014, Asher converted $4,950 of principal of the Note into 2,750,000 shares of common stock.

 

On June 4, 2014, Asher converted $4,690 of principal of the Note into 2,758,824 shares of common stock.

 

On June 16, 2014, Asher converted $12,150 of principal of the Note into 4,860,000 shares of common stock.

 

On June 24, 2014, Asher converted $7,750 of principal of the Note into 4,843,750 shares of common stock.

 

On September 23, 2013, Asher lent us an additional $50,000 in a single installment (minus fees of $3,000) under the same terms as the previous installment made April 22, 2013.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $106,593 in outstanding principal and interest on these Notes.

 

In January 2014, Asher submitted a conversion request under one of its Notes; however, the Company did not have sufficient shares of authorized common stock to honor the conversion request. Asher issued us a notice of default; however, Asher immediately waived the default provided that we began the process to increase our number of authorized shares. Asher later reissued the notice of default to us due to our delay in commencing the increase process. Therefore, we have recognized a liability and a loss of $102,810 as of June 30, 2014, which represents the additional amount due under the Notes in the event of default. Subsequently, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 750,000,000, effective June 3, 2014. We have received confirmation from Asher’s legal counsel that the penalty was waived, and as such we de-recognized the penalty liability as of June 30, 2014. 

 

5.Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company measures fair value in accordance with a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

  Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

  Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

  Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s consolidated financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
LIABILITIES:                    
                     
Conversion option liability               107,537 
                     
8
 

During 2013, the Company issued debt instruments that were convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price per share during the previous 25 trading days. The conversion options embedded in these instruments contain no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement and as a result are classified as liabilities under ASC 815. Additionally, because the number of shares to be issued upon settlement is indeterminate, all other share settle-able instruments must also be classified as liabilities. As a result, the Company measured its outstanding warrants on June 30, 2014 at fair value and re-classified these amounts from additional paid-in capital to derivative liabilities.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the conversion option liability and embedded warrant liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value:

 

Beginning balance December 31, 2013  $139,508 
      
Additions due to new convertible debt   152,810 
      
Reclassification of derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital due to conversion of related notes payable   (58,384)
      
Mark to market of debt derivative   (126,397)
      
Debt derivative as of June 30, 2014  $107,537 

 

The Company’s conversion option liabilities are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These consolidated financial liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to value its derivatives based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 155%-248%, risk free rate of 0.01-0.07% and an expected term of 0 years to 2.6 years.

 

6.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal matters

 

In April 2014, we settled a judgment that had been rendered against the Company in the amount of $19,856 plus attorneys’ fees of $73,669. We settled this judgment by assigning our interest in the Walker Smith lease and having the other working interest owners assign their interest in the lease as well.

  

7. Recent Events

On February 26, 2014, the Company completed the sale of a 46% working interest (comprising a 34.5% net revenue interest) in an oil, gas and mineral lease covering 430 acres in Duval County, Texas, to RTO Exploration, LLC (“Buyer”) for the purchase price of $400,000. In addition to the purchase price, in 2013 the Buyer paid a $10,000 non-refundable option payment to the Company. The purchase price was the result of negotiations between the Company and the Buyer.

9
 

 UAPC’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer have performed certain consulting services for the Buyer.

 

To account for the sale, we applied the two step process required by the full cost rules. First we calculated the impact of the sale of the working interest on the Company’s depletion rate, determining that the resulting change was not significant (less than 10%). Therefore, step two of the process (calculate loss or gain on sale) was not applicable, and we recognized the $410,000 proceeds as a direct reduction to the full cost pool. We also reduced the asset retirement obligation by $3,127 which was the amount attributable to the working interest that was sold.

 

8.Subsequent Events

 

On July 7, 2014, we assigned our interest in the Crouch, Lane Heady, Shillingburg, Duvalle 1&2 and RP Wilson well leases to DMV Pipeline LLC. We received $50,000 as consideration for the assignment of interest.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates.

 

Our Business. We are an exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and gas properties. Our principal business is the acquisition of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases. Our primary focus is to develop our properties that have potential for near-term production. We also provide operational expertise for several third-party well owners out of our operation base in Austin, Texas. We currently have proved reserves in the State of Texas.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2014, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report.

 

Recent Events. In April 2014, we settled a judgment that had been rendered against the Company in the amount of $19,856 plus attorneys’ fees of $73,669. We settled this judgment by assigning our interest in the Walker Smith lease and having the other working interest owners assign their interest in the lease as well.

Revenues.  We had total revenues of $173,197 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $171,022 and well operating revenues of $2,175.  This was a $75,118 decrease from total revenues of $248,315 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $238,165 and well operation revenues of $10,150. Barrels of oil per day produced (BOPD) decreased to an average of 21.73 BOPD from 27.91 BOPD for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Our administrative revenue increase was a result of income derived from well administrative/operator fees charged through United Operating, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, to third party well owners for managing and accounting for the development and production of their oil and gas property interests. Administrative revenue was only recognized on wells where the Company did not own an interest. The Company also operates certain wells where the Company also has an ownership interest. For these partially owned wells, no administrative income is recognized. Rather, operating fees received from other well interest owners are recorded as a reduction to the full cost pool per the full cost rules.

 

The following table sets forth the revenue and production data for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 we incurred well operating expenses of $110,346, an increase of $9,638 or 10% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of Company conducting incurring higher extraction costs on its wells during 2014.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, our depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expenses decreased by $28,234, or 50%. These expenses decreased largely due to lower depletion expense based on revised well life and production estimates from December 31, 2013.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $42,034 or 41% during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the prior period, was largely due to an increase in officer compensation and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Net Operating Loss.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our total net operating loss was $114,413 as compared to a net operating loss of $108,568 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $5,845 or 5% from the prior period. Our net operating loss remained largely the same due to the offsetting decrease in both revenue and operating expenses.

 

Other Income (Expense).   For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred interest expense of $74,804 associated with the amortization of debt discount related to the conversion features on our convertible notes, compared to interest expense of $63,688 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, relating to our outstanding convertible promissory notes. We recorded a gain on embedded derivatives of $40,661 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a gain on embedded derivatives of $42,382 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. We also reversed a $102,810 penalty due to default on a convertible note for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to no penalties recognized or reversed for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Net Loss.    For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our net loss was $35,747 as compared to a net loss of $129,874 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an improvement of $94,127 or 72% from the prior period. The decrease in net loss for the current quarter was largely due to the reversal of the Asher penalty described above.

Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013

 

Revenues.  We had total revenues of $310,382 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $305,282 and well operating revenues of $5,100.  This was a $74,329 decrease from total revenues of $384,711 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $272,412 and well operation revenues of $16,200. Barrels of oil per day produced (BOPD) decreased to an average of 19.29 BOPD from 22.07 BOPD for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Our administrative revenue increase was a result of income derived from well administrative/operator fees charged through United Operating, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, to third party well owners for managing and accounting for the development and production of their oil and gas property interests. Administrative revenue was only recognized on wells where the Company did not own an interest. The Company also operates certain wells where the Company also has an ownership interest.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred well operating expenses of $253,136, a decrease of $19,276 or 7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was driven by fewer workovers in 2014, offset by the Company incurring higher extraction costs on its wells during 2014.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, our depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expenses decreased by $24,525, or 32%. These expenses increased largely due to lower depletion expense based on revised well life and production estimates from December 31, 2013.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $131,764 or 49% during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the prior period, was largely due to an increase in officer compensation and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Net Operating Loss.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our total net operating loss was $406,454 as compared to a net operating loss of $231,502 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $174,952 or 76% from the prior period. Our net operating loss increased over the prior period due to higher costs of oil and gas extraction on the Company’s wells.

 

Other Income (Expense).   For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred interest expense of $189,540 associated with the amortization of debt discount related to the conversion features on our convertible notes, compared to interest expense of $80,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, relating to our outstanding convertible promissory notes. We recorded a gain on embedded derivatives of $126,397 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a gain on embedded derivatives of $66,902 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Net Loss.    For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our net loss was $459,597 as compared to a net loss of $245,540 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $214,057 or 87% from the prior period. Net loss for the current quarter was largely due to a decrease in revenue and an increase in interest expense and general and administrative expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we used $608,151 in operations, largely due to our net loss for the period and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. We received proceeds from investing activities of $400,000 from the sale of a working interest in an oil and gas property, and we had no cash provided by or used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We did not

obtain new financing during the six months ended June 30, 2014; however, see a discussion of our outstanding notes payable below.

 

Convertible Promissory Note – January 31, 2013

 

On January 31, 2013, we entered into a convertible promissory note (“Note”) with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) pursuant to which JMJ agreed to lend the Company up to $400,000 in multiple installments in exchange for a senior secured convertible promissory note with a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price per share during the previous 25 trading days. The first installment of $55,000 was delivered less a fee of $5,000 on the date of the Note. The second installment of $25,000 was delivered in April 2013. The Note matures on January 31, 2014, or upon default, whichever is earlier, and bears interest at an annual rate of 12%. As described in Note 5, the embedded conversion feature qualified for liability classification at fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $55,000 to the Note payable on issuance of the first installment. The Company also recorded a discount of $25,000 to the Note payable on issuance of the second installment. As of June 30, 2014, there was $14,783 in outstanding principal and $18,333 in outstanding original interest discount (OID) on this Note.

 

On January 7, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 2,800,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0011 for a total of $6,380 principal converted. Later in January 2014, JMJ submitted another conversion request under its Note; however, the Company was unable to comply with this request due to insufficient authorized shares of common stock. The lack of authorized shares constituted a default pursuant to the Note. The Company promptly notified JMJ of its inability to honor the conversion request. Subsequently, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common shares of the Company to 750,000,000 shares, effective June 3, 2014. JMJ has not expressed an intention to assert the remedies set forth in the Note at this time.

 

On June 9, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 3,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.0011 for a total of $3,300 principal converted.

 

On June 27, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 4,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.00115 for a total of $5,290 principal converted.

 

Convertible Note – February 19, 2013

 

On February 19, 2013, we entered into a Note with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”) pursuant to which Asher lent $103,500 to us in a single installment (minus fees of $3,500). Principal and interest outstanding under the Note can be converted into common stock of the Company at a price equal to 60% of the average lowest trading price per share during the previous 10 trading days. The embedded conversion option cannot be exercised until 180 days from the date of the note and as such, was not priced until exercisable. The total number of conversion shares is calculated by dividing the amount of the notes by the conversion price.

 

On January 2, 2014, Asher exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 2,235,294 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0017, for a total of $3,800 accrued interest converted.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the principal on this note had been fully converted. Upon conversion of the final accrued interest of $3,800 in the first quarter of 2014 described above, the obligations relating to the Note were fully satisfied.

Convertible Note – April 22, 2013

 

On April 22, 2013, we entered into another Note with Asher pursuant to which Asher lent $63,000 (minus fees of $3,000) to us in a single installment with a conversion price equal to 60% of the average lowest trading price per share during 5 of the previous 10 trading days.

 

On January 7, 2014, Asher converted $5,240 of principal of the Note into 2,757,895 shares of common stock. On January 13, 2014, Asher converted $4,950 of principal of the Note into 2,750,000 shares of common stock.

 

On June 4, 2014, Asher converted $4,690 of principal of the Note into 2,758,824 shares of common stock.

 

On June 16, 2014, Asher converted $12,150 of principal of the Note into 4,860,000 shares of common stock.

 

On June 24, 2014, Asher converted $7,750 of principal of the Note into 4,843,750 shares of common stock.

 

On September 23, 2013, Asher lent us an additional $50,000 in a single installment (minus fees of $3,000) under the same terms as the previous installment made April 22, 2013.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $106,593 in outstanding principal and interest on these Notes.

 

In January 2014, Asher submitted a conversion request under one of its Notes; however, the Company did not have sufficient shares of authorized common stock to honor the conversion request. Asher issued us a notice of default; however, Asher immediately waived the default provided that we began the process to increase our number of authorized shares. Asher later reissued the notice of default to us due to our delay in commencing the increase process. Therefore, we have recognized a liability and a loss of $102,810 as of June 30, 2014, which represents the additional amount due under the Notes in the event of default. Subsequently, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 750,000,000, effective June 3, 2014. We have received confirmation from Asher’s legal counsel that the penalty was waived, and as such we de-recognized the penalty liability as of June 30, 2014. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2014.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon the evaluation by our principal executive and principal financial officer, of those controls and procedures, performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to our over reliance on consultants in our accounting and financial statement closing processes. To address the need for more effective internal controls, management has plans to improve the existing controls and implement new controls as our financial position and capital availability improves.

 

Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.

 

In January 2014, JMJ submitted another conversion request under its Note; however, the Company was unable to comply with this request due to insufficient authorized shares of common stock. The lack of authorized shares constituted a default pursuant to the Note. The Company promptly notified JMJ of its inability to honor the conversion request. Subsequently, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common shares of the Company to 750,000,000 shares, effective June 3, 2014. JMJ has not expressed an intention to assert the remedies set forth in the Note at this time.
