NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated in Colorado in April 1991 under the name Snow Runner (USA), Inc. The Company was the general partner of Snow Runner (USA) Ltd.; a Colorado limited partnership to sell proprietary snow skates under the name "Sled Dogs" which was dissolved in August 1992. In late 1993, the Company relocated its operations to Minnesota and in January 1994 changed our name to Snow Runner, Inc. In November 1994 we changed our name to the Sled Dogs Company. On November 5, 1997, we filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In September 1998, we emerged from protection of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In May, 1999, we changed our state of domicile to Nevada and our name to XDOGS.COM, Inc. On July 22, 2005, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name to Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., and to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares par value of $0.001, and engage in the acquisition of producing oil and gas properties.  On November 16, 2011, a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 1,000,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares par value of $0.001. This amendment was not filed with the Nevada Secretary of State.  

 

On June 4, 2012 the Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) such that each holder of Shares as of the record date of June 4, 2012 shall receive one (1) post-split Share on the effective date of June 4, 2012 for each three hundred (300) Shares owned.  The reverse split was effective on July 23, 2012.   On September 28, 2012, we held a special meeting of Avalon’s shareholders and approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation such that the Company would be authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock.  We filed this amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 10, 2013.

 

The Company is currently in the process of raising funds to acquire oil and gas properties and related oilfield technologies, which the Company plans to develop into commercial applications.

 

On November 9, 2006, the Company purchased all the outstanding shares of Intelli-Well Technologies, Inc. (IWTI) from Innovaro Corporation for 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $594,000. The shares were valued at the average sales price received in private placements for sales of restricted common stock for cash. ITWI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of the date of acquisition. IWTI holds a non-exclusive license in the United States for a borehole casing technology developed by the Regents of the University of California (the "Regents") through its researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

 

On September 22, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with respect to its purchase of a 75.6% interest in Oiltek, Inc. (Oiltek) for $50,000 and the right of Oiltek to market Avalon's intellectual property. Oiltek is consolidated in these financial statements with a minority interest shown.

 

On October 10, 2013, the Company entered into a Technology Scouting Agreement with IP Technology Exchange, Inc. ("IP TechEx"), to identify potential technology acquisition and licensing opportunities.  Our alliance with IP TechEx will enable us to develop a portfolio of new and innovative technologies.

 

On March 19, 2014, the Company formed Weyer Partners, LLC, a one hundred percent (100%) wholly owned a Minnesota Corporation. Weyer Partners, LLC, was formed to operate oil and gas properties in Oklahoma and Texas.

 

On May 9, 2014, the Company formed AFS Holdings, Inc., a one hundred percent (100%) wholly owned Nevada Corporation. AFS Holding, Inc., was formed to leverage the Company’s relationship with IP TechEx, and market technology licensed from IP TechEx.

 

On September 29, 2014 the Company acquired the assets of Kensington Energy Limited Partnership – 1985, Kensington Energy Limited Partnership – 1986, Kensington Energy Limited Partnership – 1987, Kensington Energy Company, Kensington Group Venture, Kensington Group Venture I, Kensington Group Venture II, and Kensington Group Venture III, for a combination of cash and debt.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Three and Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited)

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and The Company’s subsidiary’s Oiltek, Inc., Weyer Partners, LLC, and AFS Holdings, Inc. All significant inter-company items have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Accounting Principles generally accepted accounting principles in United States America (“US GAAP”) for complete financial statements and related notes. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the balance sheets of Avalon Oil and Gas Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and the results of their operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

 

Going Concern

 

The December 31, 2014, financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred a loss of $31,060,514 from inception through December 31, 2014, and has a working capital deficiency of $769,563 and stockholders’ equity of $1,361,911 as of December 31, 2014. The Company currently has minimal revenue generating operations and expects to incur substantial operating expenses in order to expand its business. As a result, the Company expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.  The Company will continue to seek equity and debt financing to meet our operating losses.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and investment grade commercial paper that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at several financial institutions. Accounts at the institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, notes receivable and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of notes payable, notes receivable and long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Management periodically assesses the collectability of the Company's accounts receivable. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company had an allowance of $131,236 and $136,872 for accounts receivable from the joint working interests, respectively as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

 

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

 

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil properties.  Under the full cost concept, all costs incurred in acquiring, exploring, and developing properties cost center are capitalized when incurred and are amortized as mineral reserves in the cost center are produced, subject to a limitation that the capitalized costs not exceed the value of those reserves.  The unamortized costs relating to a property that is surrendered, abandoned, or otherwise disposed of are accounted for as an adjustment of accumulated amortization, rather than as a gain or loss that enters into the determination of net income, until all of the properties constituting the amortization base are disposed of, at which point gain or loss is recognized. All acquisition, exploration, and development costs are capitalized. The Company capitalizes all internal costs, including: salaries and related fringe benefits of employees directly engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil properties, as well as other identifiable general and administrative costs associated with such activities.  During the three month and nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company purchased for cash and notes payable, $120,000 in oil and gas properties which were capitalized. Oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for recoverability at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may exceed future undiscounted cash inflows. As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company had not identified any such impairment.

Other Property and Equipment

 

Other property and equipment is reviewed for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may exceed future undiscounted cash inflows. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had not identified any such impairment. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred and improvements and renewals are capitalized.

 

Other property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes.

 

Their estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

  Office Equipment: 5-7 Years

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standard Codification “ASC” 410-20-15, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, the Company records the fair value of its liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long live assets. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value at the end of each reporting period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related assets. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company will either settle the obligation for its recorded amount or incur a gain or loss upon settlement. The Company's asset retirement obligations relate to the plugging and abandonment of its oil properties.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The cost of licensed technologies acquired is capitalized and will be amortized over the shorter of the term of the licensing agreement or the remaining life of the underlying patents.

 

The Company evaluates recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that intangible assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of cost significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company measures the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it.

 

There was not any impairment loss for the nine months and three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Should the sum of the expected cash flows be less than the carrying amount of assets being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets, exceed fair value. Estimated amortization of intangible assets over the next five years is as follows:

 

December 31,      
       
  2015   $ 42,585  
  2016     21,293

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company records share-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity based" payment to non-employees. For the awards granted to non-employees, the Company will record compensation expenses equal to the fair value of the share options at the measurement date, which is determined to be the earlier of the performance commitment date or the service completion date.

 

Warrants

 

The value of warrants issued is recorded at their fair values as determined by use of a Black Scholes Model at such time or over such periods as the warrants vest.

 

 

Loss per Common Share

 

ASC 260-10-45, “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. When the company is in loss position, no dilutive effect is considered.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial   statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. 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.

 

ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, is intended to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Under ASC 740-10-25, evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with the requirements ASC topic 605 "Revenue Recognition", revenues are recognized at such time as (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Specifically, oil and gas sales are recognized as income at such time as the oil and gas are delivered to a viable third party purchaser at an agreed price. Interest income is recognized as it is earned.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Equipment is stated at acquired cost less accumulated depreciation. Office equipment is depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (five to seven years).

 

Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or related group of assets may not be recoverable.  If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time.  Measurement of impairment may be based upon appraisal, market value of similar assets or discounted cash flows. There was no impairment for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of June 23, 2015, The FASB has issued up to ASU 2015-10, which are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 7: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Preferred Stock

 

The 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issued to an officer/director as payment for $500,000 in promissory notes, are convertible into the number of shares of common stock sufficient to represent forty percent (40%) of the fully diluted shares outstanding after their issuance. The Series A Preferred Stock pays an eight percent (8%) dividend. The dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly. The Series A Preferred Stock carries liquidating preference, over all other classes of stock, equal to the amount paid for the stock plus any unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock provides for voting rights on an "as converted to common stock" basis.

 

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $10,000 and $30,000 in Series A preferred stock dividends, paid $13,500 and $4,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and paid $39,000 and $28,300 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the accrued balance due Mr. Rodriguez was $32,950 and 41,950 respectively.

 

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to convert each share of preferred stock into a sufficient number of shares of common stock to equal 40% of the then fully-diluted shares outstanding. Fully diluted shares outstanding is computed as the sum of the number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of outstanding options, and warrants. In the event that the Company does not have an adequate number of shares of Common Stock authorized, upon a conversion request, only the maximum allowable number of shares of Series A preferred stock shall convert into Common Stock and the remaining shares of Series A preferred Stock shall convert upon lapse of the applicable restrictions.

Employment Agreements

 

KENT RODRIGUEZ

 

In 2009, Mr. Rodriguez, our President, was under an employment agreement dated April 1, 2008 that expires on March 31, 2016, pursuant to which he was compensated at an annual rate of $120,000. On April 1, 2011 Mr. Rodriguez voluntarily reduced his compensation to an annual rate of $48,000, subject to an increase by the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company charged to operations the amount of $12,000 and $36,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, of which $14,000 and $36,450 was paid to him during the three month and nine month periods ending December 31, 2014, and $9,700 and $29,500 during the three and nine month periods ending December 31, 2013 respectively.  As of December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2014, the balances of accrued and unpaid salaries were $207,367 and $207,817.

 

NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes result from the temporary difference arising from the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes and the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and an accumulation of New Operating Loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carry-forwards for book purposes.

 

In assessing the value of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $31,060,514, which will expire beginning in 2028.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon our cumulative losses through December 31, 2014, we have provided a valuation allowance reducing the net realizable benefits of these deductible differences to $0 at December 31, 2014.  The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could change in the near term if projected future taxable income is realized.  Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

 

NOTE 9: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company has 100 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to infer conclusions that such results, causes or trends necessarily will continue in the future.

 

Business Development

 

Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated in Colorado in April 1991 under the name Snow Runner (USA), Inc. The Company was the general partner of Snow Runner (USA) Ltd.; a Colorado limited partnership to sell proprietary snow skates under the name "Sled Dogs" which was dissolved in August 1992. In late 1993, the Company relocated its operations to Minnesota and in January 1994 changed our name to Snow Runner, Inc. In November 1994 we changed our name to the Sled Dogs Company. On November 5, 1997, we filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In September 1998, we emerged from protection of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In May, 1999, we changed our state of domicile to Nevada and our name to XDOGS.COM, Inc. On July 22, 2005, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name to Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., and to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares par value of $0.001, and engage in the acquisition of producing oil and gas properties. On November 16, 2011, a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 1,000,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares par value of $0.001.  This amendment was not filed with the Nevada Secretary of State.  

 

On June 4, 2012 the Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) such that each holder of Shares as of the record date of June 4, 2012 shall receive one (1) post-split Share on the effective date of June 4, 2012 for each three hundred (300) Shares owned.  The reverse split was effective on July 23, 2012.   On September 28, 2012, we held a special meeting of Avalon’s shareholders and approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation such that the Company would be authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock.  We filed this amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 10, 2013.

 

 Acquisition Strategy

 

Our strategy is to acquire oil and gas producing properties that have proven reserves and established in-field drilling locations with a combination of cash, debt, and equity. We believe that acquisition of such properties minimizes our risk, allows us to generate immediate cash flow, and provides in-field drilling locations to expand production within the proven oil and gas fields. We will aggressively develop these low cost/low risk properties in order to enhance shareholder value. In addition, Avalon's technology group acquires oil production enhancing technologies. Through its strategic partnership with IP Technology Exchange, Inc., a transfer technology company, Avalon is building an asset portfolio of innovative.

 

In furtherance of the foregoing strategy, we have engaged in the following transactions during the last three years:

 

On July 1, 2013, the Company acquired a fifty percent (50%) working interest in the Moody and West Lease, Duval County, Texas.

 

On October 10, 2013, the Company entered into a Technology Scouting Agreement with IP Technology Exchange, Inc. ("IP TechEx"), to identify potential technology acquisition and licensing opportunities.  Our alliance with IP TechEx will enable us to develop a portfolio of new technologies within the oil and gas industry.

 

On March 19, 2014, the Company formed Weyer Partners, LLC, a one hundred percent (100%) wholly owned a Minnesota Corporation. Weyer Partners, LLC, was formed to operate oil and gas properties in Oklahoma and Texas.

 

On May 9, 2014, the Company formed AFS Holdings, Inc., a one hundred percent (100%) wholly owned Nevada Corporation. AFS Holding, Inc., was formed to leverage the Company’s relationship with IP TechEx, and market technology licensed from IP TechEx.

 

On September 29, 2014 the Company acquired the assets of Kensington Energy Limited Partnership – 1985, Kensington Energy Limited Partnership – 1986, Kensington Energy Limited Partnership – 1987, Kensington Energy Company, Kensington Group Venture Kensington Group Venture I, Kensington Group Venture II, and Kensington Group Venture III for a combination of cash and debt.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

 

We plan to raise additional capital during the coming fiscal year, but currently have not identified additional funding sources. Our ability to continue operations is highly dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing, or generate revenues from our acquired oil and gas leasehold interests, none of which can be guaranteed.

 

Ultimately, our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from our acquired oil and gas leasehold interests, and to achieve profitability, which is dependent upon a number of factors, including general economic conditions and the sustained profitability resulting from the operation of the acquired oil and gas leaseholds. There is no assurance that even with adequate financing or combined operations, we will generate revenues and be profitable.

 PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

 

On November 9, 2006, The Company acquired Intelli-Well Technologies, Inc., ("IWT"). IWT holds a license for borehole casing technology developed by researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

 

On August 16, 2007, Kent Rodriguez, the Company's President and CEO, presented a proposal to the Board of Directors to spin-off Oiltek Inc. ("Oiltek"), which specializes in oil and gas recovery technology to Avalon's shareholders.

GOING CONCERN

 

The December 31, 2014, financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred a loss of $31,060,514 from inception through December 31, 2014, and has a working capital deficiency of $769,563 and stockholders’ equity of $1,361,911 as of December 31, 2014. The Company currently has minimal revenue generating operations and expects to incur substantial operating expenses in order to expand its business. As a result, the Company expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.  The Company will continue to seek equity and debt financing to meet our operating losses.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The December 31, 2014, financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred a loss of $31,060,514 from inception through December 31, 2014, and has a working capital deficiency of $769,563 and stockholders’ equity of $1,361,911 as of December 31, 2014. The Company currently has minimal revenue generating operations and expects to incur substantial operating expenses in order to expand its business. As a result, the Company expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.  The Company will continue to seek equity and debt financing to meet our operating losses.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents were $118,249 on December 31, 2014, compared to $223,914 on March 31, 2014. We met our liquidity needs through the issuance of our common and preferred stock for cash and the revenue derived from our oil and gas operations.

 

We need to raise additional capital during the fiscal year, but currently have not acquired sufficient additional funding. Our ability to continue operations as a going concern is highly dependent upon our ability to obtain immediate additional financing, or generate revenues from our acquired oil and gas leasehold interest, and to achieve profitability, none of which can be guaranteed. Unless additional funding is located, it is highly unlikely that we can continue to operate. There is no assurance that even with adequate financing or combined operations, we will generate revenues and be profitable.

 

Ultimately, our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from our acquired oil and gas leasehold interests.
