Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements about matters such as future prices and sales of, and demand for, our products; future industry market conditions; future changes in our exploration activities, production capacity and operations; future exploration, production, operating and overhead costs; operational and management restructuring activities (including implementation of methodologies and changes in the board of directors); future employment and contributions of personnel; tax and interest rates; capital expenditures and their impact on us; nature and timing of restructuring charges and the impact thereof; productivity, business process, rationalization, investment, acquisition, consulting, operational, tax, financial and capital projects and initiatives; contingencies; environmental compliance and changes in the regulatory environment; and future working capital, costs, revenues, business opportunities, debt levels, cash flows, margins, earnings and growth. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “should,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “potential” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of doing so. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical and current trends, current conditions, possible future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, representations or warranties and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Some of those risks and uncertainties include the risk factors discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and the following: current global economic and capital market uncertainties; the speculative nature of mineral exploration; operational or technical difficulties in connection with exploration or mining activities; contests over our title to properties; potential dilution to our stockholders from our recapitalization and balance sheet restructuring activities; potential inability to continue to comply with government regulations; adoption of or changes in legislation or regulations adversely affecting our businesses; permitting constraints or delays, business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, us; changes in the United States or other monetary or fiscal policies or regulations; interruptions in our production capabilities due to unexpected equipment failures; fluctuation of prices for certain commodities (such as barite, water, diesel fuel, and electricity); changes in generally accepted accounting principles; geopolitical events; potential inability to implement our business strategies; potential inability to grow revenues organically; potential inability to attract and retain key personnel; interruptions in delivery of critical supplies and equipment raw materials due to credit or other limitations imposed by vendors; assertion of claims, lawsuits and proceedings against us; potential inability to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting; potential inability or failure to timely file periodic reports with the SEC; potential inability to list our securities on any securities exchange or market; and work stoppages or other labor difficulties. Occurrence of such events or circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or the market price of our securities. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements by or attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Double Crown,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company” or “the Company” mean Double Crown Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

OUR COMPANY

 

Double Crown Resources, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 23, 2006, to explore mining claims and property in North America.

 

Our business plan had been focused on building a portfolio of producing mineral properties through acquisition of properties that are in production or have the potential for near-term production. Pursuit of this business strategy requires our ability to secure significant funding, which we have not secured to date.

 

While we have not discontinued our prior business plan, we have expanded the plan and shifted our focus to the oilfield services and logistics sector. We are in the process of negotiating contracts to supply industrial quantities of commodities to on-shore and off-shore oil and gas drilling operations in the United States. We believe that the growing movement for energy independence in the United States will lead to an increased number of oil and gas wells being drilled and put into production throughout the country and off-shore. Many of these wells require hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to access the oil and gas reserves trapped in hundreds of miles of brittle shale rock thousands of feet below the surface. The hydraulic fracturing process requires a number of specialized commodities, including a unique type of sand, known as “frac-sand” or “proppant,” that can hold its shape under intense pressure and heat and is porous enough to allow thousands of gallons of oil or millions of cubic feet of gas to seep through it to the drill pipe. A typical frac-well will use 2,200 tons of this type of frac-sand. Other materials required for hydraulic fracturing include guar gum, barite, and a variety of industrial chemicals.

 

We intend to participate in negotiations and discussions with potential joint venture parties regarding sourcing frac-sand, barite, guar gum and various industrial chemicals and establishing the infrastructure to deliver these materials to oil and gas drilling sites. As part of this business strategy, in March 2013, we became an authorized dealer for the chemicals division of American International Sealing, LLC, granting us U.S. marketing rights for a slate of industrial chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, bioremediation and pipeline chemical cleaning functions.

 

In early 2015, the oilfield services industry has experienced a cutback of capital budgets allocated for drilling in response to the current lower oil prices in the global markets. As a result, the customers of many oilfield service companies, including our own, have reduced or modified their drilling projects. Our potential customers have continued to request sales quotations for industrial quantities of drilling materials for oilfield projects, and we hope to complete a sales contract for such commodities in the near term.

Also in March 2013, we executed a Memorandum of Understanding with Synergy Natural Resources, LLC (“Synergy”), a Georgia-based industrial design and manufacturing company (the “Synergy MOU”) to acquire Synergy and its assets, which included the PASS Box, a large capacity, single transfer method of shipping hydraulic fracturing sand or other critical aggregate materials used for petroleum drilling. Thereafter, we terminated the Synergy MOU and developed the Transprop AGG, a proprietary double stack interlock single transfer container system for high efficiency transport of high tonnage aggregate cargo. We filed a provisional patent application for the Transprop AGG in April 2013 and this provisional patent application has since expired. Based on new developments, technology and design, we filed a new provisional patent application on April 11, 2014. As discussed elsewhere in this annual report, in May 2013, we initiated suit against Synergy, requesting declaratory relief on our right to patent prosecution regarding the Transprop AGG and Synergy’s claims relating to our alleged use of Synergy’s trade secrets. Synergy filed counterclaims alleging that we misappropriated its trade secrets in developing the Transprop AGG. This suit was settled in November 2013. (See Part I, Item 3., “Legal Proceedings.”)

 

We have advanced the design of our container system. On October 29, 2014, we filed another provisional patent application containing further updates to the technology and design of the unit contained in the provisional patent filing of April 11, 2014. On October 30, 2014, we announced the TransLock², our redesigned, aggregate material transport system for water, road and rail shipments. The design goal of TransLock² was to use a standardized system for the majority of products – a system that is universal and superior to our previous prototype (Transprop AGG). The Company believes that the TransLock² can offer a solution to the significant capacity shortage in the North American rail industry which has been precipitated by the rapidly growing demands of the shale oil and gas drilling boom. TransLock² can be used to convert ordinary flatbed rail cars, which are available in plentiful supply but generally not useful for aggregate cargo, into 100 ton, sealed aggregate commodity carriers. This will free the existing covered containers rail cars to service all other industries.

 

The Double Crown TransLock² matches existing globally accepted container size, dimensions, weight restrictions, pickup points, and delivery conveyance systems. The TransLock² is unique in that it allows the containers to be connected once they reach their point of destination. A vertical interlock allows the material in the two upper containers to gravity feed into the lower containers. Once the vertical connections have been made, the horizontal interlock connects the two lower containers via the venturi/pneumatic conveyance system. Thus, one connection can be made and the total cargo can be transferred into hoppers, silos, mixers and/or conveyors. This new, patent pending technology will allow the current overburdened container cars to unload their product and continue on to their ultimate destination, rather than sitting at the various transload facilities as storage silos.

 

A standard rail car can transport a maximum of 100 tons of aggregate material. By connecting four TransLock² containers, Double Crown’s system is able to duplicate that same quantity of material to be transferred at close to the current transfer rate. Unlike a covered rail car, TransLock² containers can be off-loaded and used as silos and/or storage to be transferred at a time of choice. These units can carry aggregates, chemicals, fluids, and virtually all types of commodity products. Some TransLock² containers will be industry specific and will have industry specific hoses, valves, attachments, liners, etc., and conveyance delivery systems. The TransLock² has the capability of reducing the bottlenecks currently experienced at the transload facilities as it can be off loaded from rail to truck and delivered to its destination, or off loaded and used as a silo at the transload (to be loaded to transport at a later date), or shipped directly to the final destination with no transfer in between.

 

Lastly, the TransLock² is environmentally friendly in that it alleviates the risk of debris that can be left behind by super sacks (in the ocean and on land) and greatly reduces the risk of spillage of frac and resin coated sands and ceramic proppants.

On December 4, 2014, we filed a utility patent application for the interlocking container we refer to as TransLock². We intend to begin commercial production of the TransLock2 if we are able to secure sufficient funding, which is not assured.

 

During the third quarter of 2013, we executed a Sublease for use of a bulk terminal and mineral processing plant located in New Orleans, LA. The term of the Sublease, including optional extensions, is 27 years. The master plan design work has now been completed. The existing facility includes a cement drying plant and four ball mills designed to crush slag for cement production. We plan to convert the ball mills to crush barite and to convert the drying plant for use on hydrosize/wet frac sand. We have agreed to purchase the existing improvements on the property for $750,000, contingent on our securing the necessary funding. A budget for the reconstruction of the terminal and plant has not yet been completed; we anticipate the necessary conversion and improvements will require an investment of $10-14 million, not including the cost of leasing equipment and operating the facility. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to execute our plan to reconstruct the plant. The plant will be designed to accommodate containers that meet ISO standards, including our double stack interlock single transport container system designed for intermodal transport. The location of the facility allows for materials to be delivered and distributed by rail, barge or truck.

 

In October 2013, we formed DDCC Marketing Group, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary, to market minerals and other commodities to oil and gas industry customers. We opened an office in Houston, Texas to serve as the headquarters of the marketing group.

 

Guatemala Project

 

Effective on May 23, 2014, we entered into that certain agreement with Mr. Jorge Louis Avalos Austria and Quimicos y Minerales, S.A. (together the “Seller”), to acquire a 100% interest in the raw barite ore from the Bilojom II mine in Guatemala (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provided for a due diligence period of 90 days, which would allow Double Crown Resources sufficient time to prove up the information provided by representatives of the Bilojom II mine, and to assess the feasibility and likelihood of development, extraction, and exportation of the raw barite ore. As of September 24, 2014, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, our Board of Directors determined that pursuing this investment is not in our best interests or in the best interests of our shareholders. Therefore, we terminated the Agreement, and were released from any further obligations or duties thereunder.

 

Our ability to continue our oilfield services operations and our other business pursuits is dependent on adequate capital resources being available and further sources of debt and equity being obtained.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had no employees. When necessary, services are provided by outsourcing, consultants, and special purpose contracts.

   

Principal Markets

 

We plan to sell our oilfield services commodities in North America at prices primarily determined by the commodity markets. These prices are largely outside of our control. During the year-ended December 31, 2014, we did not generate any revenue.

Government Regulation

 

Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations in the United States and Canada, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances, and other matters. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety, and environmental statutes and regulations. If we pursue our exploration and mineral development projects, capital expenditures relating to compliance with laws and regulations that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, will comprise a substantial part of our capital expenditures.

 

Competition

 

We compete with other mineral exploration and oil field services companies in connection with the acquisition of mineral properties and certain commodities, including barite and frac sand. We also compete with oil field services companies for the opportunity to supply commodities, such as barite and frac sand, to North American oil and gas well operators. We may be competing with companies having substantially greater financial resources than we do.

 

Financing Events

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we received net proceeds from private placement equity financing transactions in the aggregate amount of $722,900.

 

Available Information

 

We file annual, quarterly and periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Also, the SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, including us, that file electronically with the SEC. You can obtain any document that we file with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. You may also access our SEC filings on our website at http://www.doublecrownresources.com.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are all of the material risks that we are currently aware of that are facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

 

Risk Factors Related to Our Business

 

We are an exploration stage company and we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

 

We were incorporated in 2006 and to date have been engaged in organizational and exploration-stage activities, and acquisition of our claims. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this annual report. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration and development of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if production of minerals from the claims is not forthcoming, we will not be able to continue business operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

We have yet to earn revenue and our ability to sustain our operations is dependent on our ability to raise additional financing to complete the final phase of our exploration program if warranted. As a result, our independent auditor believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have incurred a cumulative net loss of $9,928,011 for the period from inception (March 23, 2006) to December 31, 2014, and have no revenues to date. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred a net loss of $2,352,394 and $4,114,180, respectively. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our mineral claims and oilfield services operations. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be able to complete our business plan. As a result we may have to liquidate our business and you may lose your investment. You should consider our auditor’s opinion when determining if an investment in our company is suitable.

 

We may be unable to obtain additional capital that we may require to implement our business plan. This would restrict our ability to grow.

 

The proceeds from our private offerings completed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 provided us with a limited amount of working capital and is not sufficient to fund our proposed operations. We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business and our proposed operations. We may be unable to obtain additional capital as and when required.

 

Future acquisitions and future development, production and marketing activities, as well as our administrative requirements (such as salaries, insurance expenses and general overhead expenses, as well as legal compliance costs and accounting expenses) will require a substantial amount of additional capital and cash flow.

 

We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, the capital we have received to date may not be sufficient to fund our operations going forward without obtaining additional capital financing.

 

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute your ownership percentage. This could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.

 

Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets (both generally and in the resource industry in particular), our status as a new enterprise without a demonstrated operating history, the location of our mineral properties and the price of minerals on the commodities markets (which will impact the amount of asset-based financing available to us) or the retention or loss of key management. Further, if mineral prices on the commodities markets decrease, then our revenues will likely decrease, and such decreased revenues may increase our requirements for capital. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease our operations.

 

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

Our exploration activities on our mineral properties may not be commercially successful, which could lead us to abandon our plans to develop the property and our investments in exploration.

 

Our long-term success depends on our ability to establish commercially recoverable quantities of ore on our mineral properties that can then be developed into commercially viable mining operations. Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and is frequently non-productive. These risks include unusual or unexpected geologic formations, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor. The success of mineral exploration is determined in part by the following factors:

 

·

identification of potential mineralization based on superficial analysis;

   

·

availability of government-granted exploration permits;

   

·

the quality of management and geological and technical expertise; and

   

·

the capital available for exploration.

 

Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling and analysis, to develop processes to extract minerals, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any chosen site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which fluctuate widely; and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. We may invest significant capital and resources in exploration activities and abandon such investments if it is unable to identify commercially exploitable mineral reserves. The decision to abandon a project may reduce the trading price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise future financing. We cannot provide any assurance to investors that we will discover or acquire any mineralized material in sufficient quantities on any of our properties to justify commercial operations. Further, we will not be able to recover the funds that we spend on exploration if we are not able to establish commercially recoverable quantities of precious metals or minerals on our properties.

 

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.

 

You should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration and development of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. If the results of our development program do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims. Our ability to acquire additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing adequate capital resources when needed. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations.

 

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral extracting, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

 

The extracting of minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no insurance to cover against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may result in our inability to complete our planned program and/or obtain additional financing to fund our program.

Future participation in an increased number of minerals exploration prospects will require substantial capital expenditures.

 

The uncertainty and factors described throughout this section may impede our ability to economically discover, acquire, develop and/or exploit mineral prospects. As a result, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operating activities in the future.

 

The financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 have been prepared “assuming that we will continue as a going concern,” which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our operations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually have positive cash flow from operations to address all of our cash flow needs. If we are not able to find alternative sources of cash or generate positive cash flow from operations, our business and shareholders will be materially and adversely affected. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Going Concern.”

 

The mineral exploration and oilfield services industries are highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring key minerals or prospective properties.

 

The mineral exploration and oilfield services industries are intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce certain minerals, but also market certain minerals and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for key minerals, productive mineral properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low mineral market prices. Our larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future foreign, federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover productive prospects in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing mineral properties.

 

Federal, state and local legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing and the potential for related regulatory action or litigation could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays for our customers, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We plan to supply equipment and commodities to companies that process, transport and utilize natural gas, many of which benefit from increased natural gas production resulting from hydraulic fracturing in the oil and natural gas industry. As a result, increased regulation of hydraulic fracturing may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. If additional levels of regulation are implemented with respect to hydraulic fracturing, it may make it more difficult to complete natural gas wells in shale formations and discourage exploration of new wells. This could increase our customers’ costs of compliance and doing business or otherwise adversely affect the hydraulic fracturing services they perform, which may negatively impact natural gas production and demand for our equipment and commodities used in the natural gas industry.

 

In addition, heightened political, regulatory and public scrutiny of hydraulic fracturing practices could potentially expose our customers to increased legal and regulatory proceedings, which could negatively impact natural gas production and demand for our equipment and commodities used in the natural gas industry. Any such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, whether directly or indirectly.

 

We may be unable to achieve profitable, commercial production of our transport container system.

 

To date, we have produced one prototype of our transport container system. There is no guarantee that we will be able to secure funding to begin commercial production of the container. Even if we are able to produce the container in commercial quantities, there is no guarantee that the oil and gas industry will accept or adopt the design of our container. Furthermore, as detailed in Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings, Synergy Natural Resources, LLC alleges that our transport container system was based on a container for the transport and storage of aggregate material called the PASS Box, which Synergy alleges to have developed. We disputed that we misappropriated any trade secrets associated with the PASS Box. If we are unable to achieve profitable, commercial production of the transport container system for any reason, then we will be unable to recover the financial resources already invested in this project and our future results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely impacted.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

 

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include macroeconomic factors, market fluctuations in commodity pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of certain minerals and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

 

We have no insurance for environmental problems.

 

Insurance against environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production, has not generally been available in the mining industry. We have no insurance coverage for most environmental risks. In the event of a problem, the payment of environmental liabilities and costs would reduce the funds available to us for future operations. If we are unable to fund the cost of remedying an environmental problem, we might be required to enter into an interim compliance measure pending completion of the required remedy.

 

As we undertake development of our claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated cost of our program.

 

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict our mineral extraction program. We will be subject to the laws of the Province of Ontario as well as other governmental regulations as we carry out our program on the Bateman Property. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the area in order to comply with these laws. The cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage. Examples of regulatory requirements include:

 

 

(a)

Water discharge will have to meet drinking water standards;

     
 

(b)

Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;

     
 

(c)

Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated with natural vegetation;

     
 

(d)

An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;

     
 

(e)

Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;

     
 

(f)

The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be remediated; and

     
 

(g)

There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora including a study of potentially endangered species.

 

 
11

 

There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. If remediation costs exceed our cash reserves we may be unable to complete our exploration program and have to abandon our operations.

 

If access to our mineral properties is restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in any future mining efforts.

 

It is possible that adverse weather could cause accessibility to our properties to be difficult and this would delay in our timetables.

 

Our business depends on a limited number of key personnel, the loss of whom could negatively affect us.

 

Our officers and employees are important to our success. If any of them becomes unable or unwilling to continue in their respective positions and we are unable to find suitable replacements, our business and financial results could be materially negatively affected.

 

Nevada law and our articles of incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits.

 

Nevada law provides that our officers and directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Our Bylaws permit us broad indemnification powers to all persons against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

 

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by certain stockholders could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had 496,141,815 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2014, 267,290,457 of those outstanding shares of our common stock are restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Although the Securities Act and Rule 144 place certain prohibitions on the sale of restricted securities, restricted securities may be sold into the public market under certain conditions.

 

Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling stockholders sell their shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

 

The trading price of our common stock on the OTCQB has been and may continue to fluctuate significantly and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.

 

The trading price of our common stock has been, and is expected to continue to be, volatile. In addition to volatility associated with OTC Markets securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock: (i) disappointing results from our discovery or development efforts; (ii) failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget; (iii) decline in demand for our common stock; (iv) downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions; (v) technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies; (vi) lack of funding generated for operations; (vii) investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and (viii) general economic trends.

 

As a result of volatility, investors may be unable to sell their shares at a fair price and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

 
12

   

Additional issuances of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of our capital stock to provide additional financing in the future and the issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. As a result of such dilution, if you acquire shares of our common stock, your proportionate ownership interest and voting power could be decreased. Further, any such issuances could result in a change of control.

 

Our stock is a penny stock and trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. Rule 3a51-1 generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding one’s primary residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules (including Rule 15g-9) require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockbroker’s ability to buy or sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretation of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy or sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

 

A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Since our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued operations. A reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would have a material adverse effect upon our business plan and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

 

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We currently expect to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board, subject to compliance with applicable law, our organizational documents (including the certificates of designations for our preferred stock, which prohibit cash dividends to common stockholders without the consent of preferred stockholders) and any contractual provisions, including under agreements for indebtedness we may incur, that restrict or limit our ability to pay dividends, and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements and other factors that our Board deems relevant. Investors seeking cash dividends in the foreseeable future should not purchase our common stock.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

New Orleans Processing Plant and Bulk Terminal 

During the third quarter of 2013, we executed a Sublease for use of a bulk terminal and mineral processing plant located in New Orleans, LA. The term of the Sublease, including optional extensions, is 27 years. The master plan design work has now been completed. The existing facility includes a cement drying plant and four ball mills designed to crush slag for cement production. We plan to convert the ball mills to crush barite and to convert the drying plant for use on hydrosize/wet frac sand. We have agreed to purchase the existing improvements on the property for $750,000, contingent on our securing the necessary funding. A budget for the reconstruction of the terminal and plant has not yet been completed; we anticipate the necessary conversion and improvements will require an investment of $10-14 million, not including the cost of leasing equipment and operating the facility. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to execute our plan to reconstruct the plant. The plant will be designed to accommodate containers that meet ISO standards, including our double stack interlock single transport container system designed for intermodal transport. We are continuing to fine-tune the design of our transport container system, with the intention of beginning commercial production when we have secured sufficient funding. The location of the facility allows for materials to be delivered and distributed by rail, barge or truck.

 

Bateman Property Option

 

Effective on February 9, 2011, we entered into that certain Bateman Property Option (the “Option”) with Richard and Gloria Kwiatkowski (collectively, the “Kwiatkowski”). The Option provides for the development of 136 claim units covering a series of nickel-cobalt-gold-platinum group element prospects, which prospects are located 35 kilometers northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario (the “Prospects”). The Prospects are owned 100% by Kwiatkowski as tenants in common. We intend to work on the Prospects, including drilling, for three types of geological conceptual targets: (i) shebandowan type high grade nickel-cobalt-gold-platinum sulphide deposits; (ii) disseminated nickel sulphides of Mount Keith type with bulk tonnage potential; and (iii) gold mineralization within an extensive conglomerate unit of potential open-pit bulk tonnage configuration.

 

In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Option: (i) upon execution of certain documentation and transfer of title, we paid $5,000 and issued 250,000 shares of common stock to the Kwiatkowskis; (ii) at the end of year one, on February 9, 2012, we issued the Kwiatkowskis 512,821 shares as payment for the $20,000 due under the terms of the Option; (iii) at the end of year two, on February 9, 2013, we paid a further $30,000 by issuing 2,727,300 shares of stock; (iv) each anniversary thereafter, we shall pay to Kwiatkowskis $25,000 as advance royalty payment until the sum of $200,000 has been paid (Note: we have received an extension for the payment due February 9, 2015); (v) we shall further make payment to Kwiatkowski of 3% NSR royalty on all production from the Prospects, which royalty may be purchased by us as to 1.5% of the 3% for the sum of $1,500,000 in increments of $500,000 per 0.5% NSR; and (vi) we shall commit to expenditures of $200,000 on the Prospects.

 

As part of this agreement, we issued a convertible debt of $20,000 to the Seller. In conjunction with this debt, there was no debt discount or beneficial conversion feature recorded since the conversion privilege was contingent on the current market value of the shares at the date of the notice of conversion. Accordingly, on February 9, 2012 the Company issued to Gloria and Richard Kwiatkowski 256,411 and 256,410 shares respectively at the market price of $0.0390 to satisfy the $20,000 Debt.

 

The prepaid royalty of $124,200 has been analyzed for impairment and has been fully impaired.

 

Interest on the discounted royalty claim has been accrued at 12%. Accrued interest was $54,637 as of December 31, 2014, which brings the liability balance to $176,835.

 

Office Locations

 

We currently do not own any real property. Our principal executive office is located at 10120 S. Eastern Avenue, Suite 200, Henderson, Nevada 89052. Our subsidiary, DDCC Marketing Group, LLC, leases an office at 7904 N. Sam Houston Pkwy West, Suite 325, Houston, Texas 77064.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On August 9, 2011, a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, File No. S-115321, by Falco Investments, Inc. (“Falco”) naming us as a defendant (the “Complaint”). In the Complaint, Falco alleges that we owe $690,588 as compensation for corporate work performed by Falco through June 30, 2011. We have responded in our answer and stated that we do not owe the $690,588 for such services allegedly performed by Falco since there was no written contract between us and Falco. We have amended our counterclaim to name additional parties, in addition to the former president/chief executive officer, Dr. Stewart Jackson and Donald Rutledge and Leslie Rutledge as defendants. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the Falco litigation at this time.

 

On May 23, 2013, Double Crown Resources, Inc. initiated suit against Synergy Natural Resources, LLC (“Synergy”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division), requesting declaratory relief relating to alleged trade secrets and rights to patent protection on Double Crown’s commodity transport container system. Synergy asserted counterclaims including misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, tortious interference with prospective contracts or business relations, and business disparagement. On October 6, 2014, following full-day mediation before former judge Alvin L. Zimmerman, Double Crown and Synergy representatives reached an agreement in principle regarding settlement of the litigation. To avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation, Double Crown, without admitting any liability, agreed to pay Synergy a total of $630,000 within one year, plus three million shares of stock. In return, Synergy agreed to dismiss its remaining claims against, and indemnify, Double Crown regarding any third party claims arising from the Synergy’s claims. Under the agreement outlined in the final settlement documents and approval by the Court, both parties will be free to pursue their respective commodity transport container systems.

 

On July 24, 2014, Glenn Soler (“Soler”), a former director of our Company, initiated a lawsuit against Double Crown and certain officers/directors of the company asserting claims of breach of contract, fraud-common law, negligent misrepresentation, fraud in stock transaction, conspiracy, and promissory estoppel seeking money damages, common stock, attorneys’ fees and exemplary damages. Glenn Soler vs. Double Crown Resources; Cause No. 2014-42563, pending in Harris County, Texas. As of December 31, 2014, Double Crown was the only Defendant served. Double Crown answered the suit, denying all of Soler’s claims and seeking proof of same and specifically denying Soler’s claim for shares. Double Crown asserted multiple affirmative defenses including: estoppel, failure to mitigate, conditions precedent, lack of consideration, failure of consideration, unclean hands, impossibility, illegality, duress, business compulsion, prior material breach and fraud. Double Crown also asserted counterclaims including: breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract seeking damages in excess of $100,000.00 and attorney’s fees. Recently, the Court denied Soler’s Motion for Summary Judgment, in which he asked the Court to determine as a matter of law that he was entitled to prevail on his claims. It is too early in the case to determine Double Crown’s exposure as there has been no discovery matter. We believe that Soler’s claims are defensible, and we have discussed scheduling a mediation with Soler to address all pending claims and counterclaims.

 

Other than the three proceedings mentioned above, we are not a party to any material legal proceedings and to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

The following discussion provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company. It should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the accompanying notes also included in the annual report on form 10-K. The following discussion addresses matters we consider important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as our future results.

 

Overview

 

We are an exploration stage company and have not generated any revenue to date. We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

Our business plan had been focused on building a portfolio of producing mineral properties through acquisition of properties that are in production or have the potential for near-term production. Pursuit of this business strategy requires our ability to secure significant funding, which we have not secured to date.

 

We intend to participate in negotiations and discussions with potential joint venture parties regarding sourcing frac-sand, barite, guar gum and various industrial chemicals and establishing the infrastructure to deliver these materials to oil and gas drilling sites. As part of this business strategy, in March of 2013, we became an authorized dealer for the chemicals division of American International Sealing, LLC, granting us U.S. marketing rights for a slate of industrial chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, bioremediation and pipeline chemical cleaning functions.

 

In early 2015, the oilfield services industry has experienced a cutback of capital budgets allocated for drilling in response to the current lower oil prices in the global markets. As a result, the customers of many oilfield service companies, including our own, have reduced or modified their drilling projects. Our potential customers have continued to request sales quotations for industrial quantities of drilling materials for oilfield projects, and we hope to complete a sales contract for such commodities in the near term.

 

We will require additional capital to meet our operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

 

 
17

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we generated working capital to fund operations through the sale of our common stock. In 2015, we anticipate that revenue from our oilfield services operations will support our operating expenses, including our general and administrative expenses. However, if we do not generate sufficient revenue through operations, we will need to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities in order to support our operations. The issuance of such securities could have a dilutive effect on our shareholders.

 

At December 31, 2014, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

 

A summary of our cash flows during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 follows.

 

Operating Activities

 

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. Cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased to $733,781 from $1,002,570 used during the year-ended December 31, 2013. The decrease is a result of the decrease in expenses in the marketing office in Houston, Texas, as we wait for our oilfield services operations to generate revenue.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $11,860, as compared to $39,902 for the year ended December 31, 2013. We used the capital to acquire computers, furniture, fixtures for our Houston, Texas office.

 

Financing Activities

 

Total net cash provided by financing activities was $722,900 for the year ended December 31, 2014, which consisted of private placement offerings generating $722,900 in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. Total net cash provided by financing activities was $1,082,350 for the year ended December 31, 2013, which consisted of private placement offerings generating $1,082,350 in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock.

 

At December 31, 2014, we had cash totaling $20,410, as compared to $43,151 at December 31, 2013. Our current cash position will not sustain our operations. We anticipate that cash expected to be generated from operations will sustain our operations through December 31, 2015. If we are unable to generate sufficient operating revenue, we will need to raise additional capital through equity or debt offerings. The current prices for oil and gas, and the resulting cutbacks in capital budgets by the oil and gas exploration and production companies may adversely impact our short term ability to raise capital or generate revenue through the sale of commodities to the oil and gas industry in 2015.

Net Loss

 

Our net loss for fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,352,394 compared to a net loss of $4,114,180 during fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease of $1,761,786 in net loss is primarily a result of the cutback in expenses at our Houston, TX marketing office while we wait for our oilfield services operations to generate revenue.

 

Operating Revenues

 

We generated no revenue during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Operating Expenses

 

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred operating expenses of approximately $2,250,310 compared to $4,052,928 incurred during fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (a decrease of $1,811,785). This reduction came despite the $287,221 spent in research and development on the TransLock2 during the year ended December 31, 2014 (compared to $0 spent on research and development for the year ended December 31, 2013). The decrease in operating expenses from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to the decrease in our professional fees (by $2,061,802) and our general and administrative expenses (by $213,239) related to the decreased activity, including terminating our employees at the marketing office in Houston, Texas, as we wait for our oilfield services operations to generate revenue. We also incurred decreased compliance costs and legal fees associated with litigation matters (see Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings). General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, and consulting costs.

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Other expenses incurred during fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $111,251, compared to other expenses of $61,252 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was due to expenses incurred in our Houston, TX office.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The independent auditors’ report accompanying our December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared “assuming that we will continue as a going concern,” which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive, they are not considered in the computation.

 

Use of 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 liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management believes that the estimates used are reasonable.

 

In Management’s opinion all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made. All adjustments are normal and recurring.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

 
20

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis. Revenue is generally realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists between the Company and our customer(s); 2) services have been rendered; 3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.

  

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of cash equivalents and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

For a discussion of recently issued accounting standards, see Note 3 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors 

Double Crown Resources, Inc.

 

I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Double Crown Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

 

I conducted my audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

 

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Double Crown Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years period ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a minimum cash balance available for payment of ongoing operating expenses, has experienced losses from operations since inception, and it does not have a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DOUBLE CROWN RESOURCES, INC.

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2014

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Double Crown Resources, Inc. (“Double Crown Resources” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 23, 2006 to explore mining claims and property in North America.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary DDCC Marketing Group, LLC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2014 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a cumulative net loss from inception (March 23, 2006) through December 31, 2014 of $9,928,011.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying 2014 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Double Crown Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, DDCC Marketing, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 
F-8

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative instruments and recorded debt discount, valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation of in-kind contribution of services and interest.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31 2014 and 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

In accordance with the accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

 

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share at December 31, 2014 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Total

   

478,399,787

 

  

(F) Operating Leases

 

The Company leases office space in Houston Texas expiring in March of 2015 for $8,000 per month The Company also leases space in Henderson Nevada on a month to month lease of $125 per month. Rent expense for 2014 was $97,500.

 

 
F-9

 

(G) Business Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

 

(H) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from m selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

 

·

Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

     
 

·

Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

     
 

·

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, notes payable - related party, loan payable - related party, convertible notes payable, convertible notes payable - related party and deferred rent payable. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

 
F-10

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3 (see Note 8).

 

(J) Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

 

(K) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

(L) Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

(M) Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

 
F-11

 

(N) Stock-Based Compensation - Non Employees

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

 

·

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

     
 

·

Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

     
 

·

Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

     
 

·

Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

(O) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity-which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application with the first annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). The Company adopted this pronouncement for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE 5 - DEBT

 

Mineral Prospect Obligation

 

Effective on February 9, 2011 the company entered into an agreement between the Company and Richard and Gloria Kwiatkowski (“the Seller”). The Option provides for the development of 136 claim units covering a series of nickel-cobalt-gold-platinum group element prospects, which prospects are located 35 kilometers northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario (the “Prospects”).

 

In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Option: (i) upon execution of certain documentation and transfer of title, the Company has paid $5,000 and has issued 250,000 shares of common stock to the Kwiatkowskis; (ii) at the end of year one, February 9, 2012, the Company issued Kwiatkowskis 512,821 shares as payment which was valued at $20,000 (fair market value $0.039/share). (iii) At the end of year two, February 9, 2013, the Company will pay to Kwiatkowskis a further $30,000 either in half cash and half shares or all shares at the option of the Kwiatkowskis; (iv) each anniversary thereafter, the Company shall pay to Kwiatkowskis $25,000 as advance royalty payment until the sum of $200,000 has been paid; (v) the Company shall further make payment to Kwiatkowskis of 3% NSR royalty on all production from the Prospects, which royalty may be purchased by the Company as to 1.5% of the 3% for the sum of $1,500,000 in increments of $500,000 per 0.5% NSR; and (vi) the Company shall commit to expenditures of $200,000 on the Prospects.

 

 
F-15

 

The Company in February 2013 paid the $30,000 liability via stock by issuing 2,727,300 shares of stock.

 

In August of 2014 the Company paid $2,000 toward this obligation.

 

As part of the original agreement, the Company issued a convertible debt of $20,000 to the Seller. In conjunction with this debt, there was no debt discount or beneficial conversion feature recorded since the conversion privilege was contingent on the current market value of the shares at the date of the notice of conversion. Accordingly, on February 9, 2012 the Company issued to Gloria and Richard Kwiatkowski 256,411 and 256,410 shares respectively at the market price of $0.0390 to satisfy the $20,000 Debt.

 

The prepaid royalty of $124,200 has been analyzed for impairment and has been fully impaired.

 

This liability is presented at the present value of expected future cash flow requirements.

 

Interest on the discounted royalty claim has been accrued at 12%. Accrued interest was $54,637 as of December 31, 2014 which brings the liability balance to $176,835. This balance is comprised of $50,000 in past due amounts and $126,835 due long term.

  

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Note Payable Related Party

 

In the year ended December 31, 2010 the company entered into a five-year consulting agreement dated October 1, 2010 with Dr. Stewart Jackson (“Jackson”), pursuant to which Jackson, as the chief executive officer and a member of the Board of Directors, will provide certain consulting services to the Company including, but not limited to, contact with precious metal assets for acquisition in North America. After the change in management, the Company recognized the future remaining obligation based on the contract to Mr. Jackson and accrued it at its present value using a 12% discount rate over fifty-one months. This resulted in an $89,596 being recorded as a related party debt.

 

Interest expense of $10,762 has been recorded in 2014 ($27,166 prior), for a total debt of $127,514. The Company is disputing this liability.

 

In addition the Company received four loans equaling $17,000. The loans are due on demand without interest from a related party.

 

Lastly the company is obligated on a disputed liability “Falco” referred to in more detail in note 9 for $132,382.

 

The total of the above liabilities as shown in the Balance Sheet is $276,896.

NOTE 9 - DEBT RELATED PARTY/ ACCRUED INTEREST RELATED PARTY

 

As of June 15, 2011 the former management signed a resolution approving the issuance of promissory notes in the amount of $271,331 to Falco Investments, Inc. New management believes that the old management was not acting in the best interest of the company when they authorized these expenses and subsequently approved the issuance of the notes. The Company has recorded the balance of $968,134 due to Falco Investments, Inc. of which $132,382 has been reported as note payable(See note 6) $563,206 as a Disputed Liability Related Party and $272,546 as accrued interest to December 31, 2014. The Company has decided to contest the current balance claimed to be due to Falco. Falco Investments initiated a lawsuit in November of 2011.

 

While the amount is deemed frivolous the Company has included this debt on the balance sheet till an eventual resolution is completed.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAX

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

At December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,953,834 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2014 to 2034. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2014 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal Income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the end of our fiscal year covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our financial reports as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Non-effectiveness of disclosure controls was primarily a function of our increasing scope of operations with limited human and financial resources.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

     
 

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

     
 

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

As of December 31, 2014, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treasury Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

 

 
23

 

The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, when funds are available, we will implement the following remediation initiatives:

 

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function by: i) appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who will also be appointed to an audit committee, resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting; ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists that will set forth procedures for period-end financial disclosure and reporting processes; and iii) hiring additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge to establish proper segregation of duties.

 

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists that will set forth procedures for period-end financial disclosure and reporting processes will remedy the ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. Further, management believes the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the financial department. These measures will greatly improve our disclosure controls and our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

 

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to implementing the remediation initiatives stated above, as well as additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our Company was not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the us to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Nasr Partners P.C. of Houston, Texas he was responsible for mixed use planned development projects for over ten years. This experience of bringing multiple moving assets together for a common purpose has made Mr. Lopez an ideal choice to handle the oilfield service projects of Double Crown Resources as many of the same skill sets apply. M. Nasr Partners is a recognized leader in the supply of vital materials for a wide range of industrial, energy resource and construction companies.

 

Mr. Lopez was also the former President of Canaan Consulting Inc. of Houston, Texas where he had over 20 years of experience including work for national home builders as well as international development companies. His professional background includes sales, marketing, construction, management and development of subdivisions, town homes, custom homes and high rise buildings.

Mr. Lopez attributes much of the success in his business career to starting out in his early 20’s as a licensed Private Investigator. This experience provided him with significant research abilities, interpersonal skills and insights. In this capacity he worked insurance fraud cases for many of Houston’s law firms including Fulbright and Jaworski.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms provided to us, we believe that, during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, all persons subject to filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, timely filed the required forms with the SEC.

 

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

 

The Company has not purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

 

Board Committees and Corporate Governance

 

Audit Committee

 

The Board does not currently have an Audit Committee. The full Board performs the principal functions of the Audit Committee. The full Board monitors the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control system and appoints our independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Compensation Committee. The full Board establishes overall compensation policies for us and reviews recommendations submitted by our management.

 

Nominating Committee

 

Our Board of Directors does not have a Nominating Committee, as nominations are made by the members of the Board as a whole. Our Board seeks to identify qualified individuals to become Board members and determine the composition of the Board and its committees. Our Board does not have any formal specific minimum qualifications for evaluating potential director candidates or specific procedures for identifying new directors. We plan to adopt such procedures in the next fiscal year.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our board of directors adopted our code of ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer and our senior financial officer. Our code of ethics is available on our website at www.doublecrownresources.com and is also available to stockholders in print upon request. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of the code of ethics, or waivers of such provisions granted to executive officers and directors, on the Company’s website within four business days following the date of such amendment or waiver.

 

 
29

 

Our code of ethics applicable to our Chief Executive Officers and our senior financial officers is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

 

·

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

·

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file or submit to the Securities & Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

 

·

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

·

The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code of violations of our Code of Ethical Conduct; and

 

·

Accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

Director Independence

 

Because our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of the Nasdaq Stock Market to determine whether our directors are independent. Under the Nasdaq definition of independence, no member of the board is considered independent unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the member has no material relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (either directly, or as a partner, shareholder or officer of any entity that has a relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries). The Board has reviewed the relationships between each of the directors and the Company and has determined that none of the directors is an independent director.

 

Certain Relationships

 

Jerold S. Drew and Tricia Oakley are siblings. Other than that, there are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.

 

Communications with Board of Directors

 

We have no formal procedure for shareholder communications with directors. However, any shareholder who wishes to communicate with a particular director or directors is instructed to contact the Secretary of the Company. The Secretary will process all communications received from shareholders and forward them to the Board of Directors. However, materials that are unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable generally will not be forwarded.

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The responsibility for establishing, administering and interpreting our policies governing the compensation and benefits for our executive officers lies with our Board of Directors. In this connection, the Board of Directors has not retained the services of any compensation consultants. The goals of our executive compensation program as defined by our Board of Directors are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to support and develop our business within the framework of our small size and available resources.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of April 6, 2015. The address of each stockholder is 10120 S. Eastern Avenue, Suite 200, Henderson, Nevada 89052.

Our management is involved in other business activities and may, in the future become involved in other business opportunities.

In the event that a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will disclose his interest in a proposed transaction and will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such transaction
