Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

June 30, 2015

 

NOTE 1 – INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.  The accompanying financial statements at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 and for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 contain all normally recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for such periods.  Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2016. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report for the year ended March 31, 2015. 

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are 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, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

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.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 "Income Taxes" which codified SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No.109.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets 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.  Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

 

 
7

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

 

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses.  All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015.

 

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1.  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2.  Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3.  Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.  

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2015 or March 31, 2015.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets based on estimated future cash flows.  

 

Earnings Per Share Information

 

FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.  For purposes of the earnings per share calculation, we consider shares to be issued as issued shares as of the date the shares are earned. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 includes 85,623 and 17,692 of shares to be issued. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share.  Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, at the reporting dates, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

 

Share Based Expenses 

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees" which codified SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services".  Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued.  The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Reclassifications and revision of prior period amounts

 

Certain amounts in the June 30, 2014 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2015 presentation. The Company has revised prior period statement of operations to include deemed preferred stock dividends of $18,200. 

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued, and, if such conditions exist, to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

NOTE 4 – AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

 

Great Northern Energy, Inc.

 

On November 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “GNE Agreement”) with Great Northern Energy, Inc. (“GNE”), which was later modified through an addendum dated January 25, 2013, to acquire a substantial non-operating working interest in oil assets in East Texas in consideration for a purchase price that includes (a) a cash payment of $3,900,000 in the form of (i) a deposit of $100,000; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000; and (iii) a promissory note in the amount of $2,700,000 and (b) 7,400,000 shares of its restricted common stock.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had transferred a total of $700,000 and issued 7,400,000 shares of common stock to GNE towards the purchase of the oil and gas properties, but the GNE Agreement has not been consummated. The $700,000 payment was initially recorded as a long-term deposit on the balance sheet and, subsequently, has been charged to impairment of deposit on the income statement for the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

GNE has returned the stock certificate for 7,400,000 shares; however, GNE did not submit an executed stock power which is required to cancel the GNE shares. The 7,400,000 shares are considered issued and outstanding at December 31, 2013. The deposit of $36,557 recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, which is related to the issuance of the 7,400,000 shares of common stock, was charged to impairment of deposit on the income statement for the year ended March 31, 2015.

 

On May 20, 2014, we sent a letter to GNE informing them of this determination and seeking to mutually terminate the Agreement. Given the amount of time that has passed since we first entered into negotiations with GNE and the lack of any tangible results as contemplated in the GNE Agreement, in addition to GNE'S failure to uphold certain of its obligations under the GNE Agreement, we determined it would be in our best interest to terminate the GNE Agreement. In that letter, we requested that GNE comply with the termination provisions of the GNE Agreement and provide the stock power necessary to cancel the shares and return the $700,000 advanced to them under the terms of the GNE Agreement. Accordingly, once GNE returns the $700,000 and submits the outstanding stock power, we shall immediately consent to and permit the mutual termination of the GNE Agreement.

 

Black Gold Kansas Production, LLC

 

Kansas – George Prospect

 

On June 1, 2015, the Company executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "George PSA") with Black Gold Kansas Production, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“BGKP”). Pursuant to the George PSA, the Company shall receive a 30% working interest and a 26.25 % net revenue interest in and to the George Prospect and the 4 drilled and completed wells and any by-products produced thereon, machinery, equipment and the books and records related to same which is located in Kansas. Under this George PSA and the contemplated transaction, the Company will also acquire a 75% interest in and to approximately 3,000 acres of land within Bourbon and Allen Counties that contains approximately 42 proved undeveloped (PUD) locations for drilling. Pursuant to the George PSA, the parties also entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement. On July 23, 2015, the parties also entered into an amendment and extension to the George PSA until October 1, 2015. On August 17, 2015, the George PSA was further amended to provide for payment of the purchase price in monthly installments as follows:

 

 

$150,00 due at closing;

 

$100,000 due 31 days after closing;

 

$100,000 due 61 days after closing; and

 

$417,000 due 91 days after closing.

  

 
 9

 

 

The total consideration for the purchase, sale and conveyance of the Assets to the Company and the Company’s assumption of the undivided share of liabilities provided for in the George PSA, is the Company’s payment to BGKP of the sum of $767,000 (the “George Purchase Price”), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the George PSA. Although required by the terms of the George PSA, the Company has not yet placed $10,000 in an escrow account (the "George Earnest Money"), which upon closing, would be credited towards the George Purchase Price; if however, the closing does not occur because the Company fails or refuses to do so when BGKP is otherwise ready to close and has satisfied all of its obligations under the George PSA, or the Company does not cure a material breach, then BGKP shall keep the George Earnest Money as liquidated damages in lieu of all other damages. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not yet paid the George Purchase Price and will not be able to pay that, or the George Earnest Money payment, without receiving additional funding, of which there can be no guarantee. Accordingly, the purchase may not occur.

 

The Company is entitled to conduct due diligence of the properties prior to closing and the George PSA includes curative provisions if certain defects or other issues arise during such due diligence, as well as the handling of any such disputes.

 

The George PSA may be terminated (1) at any time prior to closing by mutual written consent of the Company and BGKP, (2) by either party if closing has not occurred by October 1, 2015, or such later date to which the Closing Date has been delayed, or if any government authority issued an order or ruling permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the closing, (3) by the Company if there is a material breach of the representations and warranties made by BGKP with 15 days prior notice, and (4) by BGKP if there is a material breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company with 15 days prior notice. Either party may also terminate the George PSA if the other party does not cure any failure to comply in any material respect with any of such other party's covenants or agreements.

 

Wyoming – West Mule Creek

 

On August 6, 2014, the Company executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Wyoming PSA") with BGKP. Pursuant to the Wyoming PSA, the Company shall receive an agreed upon percentage of the working and net revenue interest in and to the West Mule Creek oilfield, which is located in Wyoming. Through this interest, the Company will receive a certain percentage of the West Mule Creek lease, acres of land within Niobrara County that contains 13 wells, certain rights to specific wells and land contained on the lease, as well as any by-products produced thereon, machinery, equipment and the books and records related to same. Pursuant to the Wyoming PSA, the parties also entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement (JEA”), with a 3 year term. On August 6, 2014, the parties also entered into an addendum to the Wyoming PSA that clarifies that the Wyoming PSA shall not be interdependent with or upon the JEA and no default under the JEA shall effect the Wyoming PSA or the validity of the related purchase and sale.

 

The total consideration for the purchase, sale and conveyance of the Assets to the Company and the Company’s assumption of the undivided share of liabilities provided for in the Wyoming PSA, is the Company’s payment to BGKP of the sum of $2,352,000 (the “Wyoming Purchase Price”), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Wyoming PSA. Although required by the terms of the Wyoming PSA, the Company has not yet placed $15,000 in an escrow account (the "Wyoming Earnest Money"), which upon closing, would be credited towards the Wyoming Purchase Price; if however, the closing does not occur because the Company fails or refuses to do so when BGKP is otherwise ready to close and has satisfied all of its obligations under the Wyoming PSA, or the Company does not cure a material breach, then BGKP shall keep the Wyoming Earnest Money as liquidated damages in lieu of all other damages. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not yet paid the Wyoming Purchase Price and will not be able to pay that, or the Wyoming Earnest Money payment, without receiving additional funding, of which there can be no guarantee. Accordingly, the purchase may not occur.

 

The Company is entitled to conduct due diligence of the properties prior to closing and the Wyoming PSA includes curative provisions if certain defects or other issues arise during such due diligence and how any disputes regarding same may be handled.

 

 
10

 

 

On July 23, 2015, both parties agreed to extend the Wyoming PSA until October 1, 2015. Both parties have further agreed to defer the closing of the West Mule Creek Oilfield pursuant to the Wyoming PSA until the acquisition of the George Prospect in Kansas pursuant to the George PSA is complete.

 

The Wyoming PSA may be terminated (1) at any time prior to closing by mutual written consent of the Company and BGKP, (2) by either party if closing has not occurred by October 1, 2015, or such later date to which the Closing Date has been delayed, or if any government authority issued an order or ruling permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the closing, (3) by the Company if there is a material breach of the representations and warranties made by BGKP with 15 days prior notice, and (4) by BGKP if there is a material breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company with 15 days prior notice. Either party may also terminate the PSA is the other party does not cure any failure to comply in any material respect with any of such other party's covenants or agreements.

 

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE AND ADVANCES

 

On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into a note agreement with a shareholder, and former director, Mr. Hadley, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $100,000 from the shareholder which was payable in 60 days with interest at 6% per annum (the “Hadley Note”).  Proceeds from the Hadley Note were paid directly to Great Northern Energy as a deposit to purchase certain oil and gas assets.  The Hadley Note was payable in 60 days with interest at 6% per annum.  

 

Upon the Company’s receipt of a Subscription Agreement and pursuant to a request from Mr. Hadley, on September 27, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved via unanimous written consent to convert the Hadley Note into 20,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock; on the same day, 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued to Mr. Hadley. Pursuant to the conversion of the Hadley Note, the Company would not have any further liability to Mr. Hadley thereunder.   Mr. Hadley has informed the Company that he does not agree with the Conversion of the Hadley Note into the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company has had no further correspondence with Mr. Hadley on this matter since he expressed his initial objections.

 

On November 28, 2012, the CE McMillan Family Trust (the "CE Trust") advanced the Company $100 to facilitate the opening of a new bank account in Irving, Texas. The trustee of the C.E. McMillan Family Trust is also the managing member of Fidare Consulting Group, LLC ("Fidare") and Cicerone Corporate Development, LLC ("Cicerone").   The advance had not been repaid as of June 30, 2015.

On September 4, 2013, the Company received a $750,000 Revolving Credit Note (the “Cicerone Revolving Note”) from Cicerone Corporate Development, LLC, a related party, (“Cicerone”).  The Cicerone Revolving Note matured on February 1, 2015 and bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. On January 29, 2014, the maturity of the Cicerone Revolving Note was extended to February 1, 2017 on the same terms and conditions.  The extension was accounted for as a modification.   All previously capitalized debt issuance costs had been fully amortized at the date of the modification and no additional fees were incurred. Cicerone is a stockholder of the Company.

 

At various times Cicerone advanced funds to or paid operating expenses on behalf of the Company under the Cicerone Revolving Note.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015, advances under the Cicerone Revolving Note were $17,496.  During the three months ended June 30, 2014, advances under the Cicerone Revolving Note were $91,576.  As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of the Cicerone Revolving Note was $616,155.  The Company has not made any interest payments which are payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. As of June 30, 2015, accrued and unpaid interest on the Cicerone Revolving Note was $27,176.

 

Harry McMillan is trustee of the C.E. McMillan Family Trust, which Trust serves as the managing member of Fidare Consulting Group, LLC (“Fidare”) and Cicerone Corporate Development, LLC (“Cicerone”). Mr. McMillan is the Trustee for the benefit of his wife, Christy McMillan and their children, and is also a member of each of Fidare and Cicerone.  Each of these entities, as well as certain beneficiaries of the Trust, own shares of our common stock and therefore, Mr. McMillan and the Trust may be deemed to beneficially own such shares. Each disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares. The Company believes, although the shareholdings received pursuant to the various agreements may not exceed the required thresholds, Mr. McMillan is a related party.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We have become aware of a letter dated December 17, 2012 from Dr. Steven Henson to Michael Farmer, who at time was not a director or officer of Rangeford, with regard to our offering of up to 3,000,000 of our preferred stock in connection with our proposed acquisition of certain properties from Great Northern Energy, Inc.  In the letter, Dr. Henson, who at the time was the President and Chairman of the Board of Rangeford, purports to grant a right of rescission to certain investors in the event that we were unable to raise the full amount of funds necessary to acquire the subject properties from Great Northern Energy.  This right of rescission was never approved by our Board of Directors and it is our position that Dr. Henson acted without proper authority in providing the letter to Mr. Farmer, as the representative of certain investors.  At this point no claim has been made by any of the investors, who invested approximately $300,000 into Rangeford and we have no reason to assume that a claim will ultimately be made. 

 

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Effective July 1, 2015, the Company entered into a nine month sublease agreement for office space in Houston, Texas. In accordance of the terms of the sublease agreement, the Company would share approximately 4,000 square feet of office space with an oil and gas engineering firm for $3,000 per month. The Company also has a consulting contract with the engineering firm for oil and gas engineering consulting services.  

 

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking  statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently  subject to significant  business,  economic and competitive uncertainties and  contingencies,  many of which are beyond our control and many of which,  with  respect to future  business  decisions,  are subject to change.

The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2015, and for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph, that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

Rangeford Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 4, 2007, in the state of Nevada. The Company has never declared bankruptcy and it has never been in receivership. Since its incorporation, Rangeford Resources has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations and the Company owns no subsidiaries. The fiscal year end is March 31st. The Company has not had revenues from operations since its inception and/or any interim period in the current fiscal year.

 

Going Concern

 

We have incurred net losses of approximately $7.5 million since inception through June 30, 2015.  The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our operating losses and need to raise additional capital.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to increase our revenues and report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

Purchase and Sale Agreements

 

Great Northern Energy, Inc.

 

On November 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “GNE Agreement”) with Great Northern Energy, Inc. (“GNE”), which was later modified through an addendum dated January 25, 2013, to acquire a substantial non-operating working interest in oil assets in East Texas in consideration for a purchase price that includes (a) a cash payment of $3,900,000 in the form of (i) a deposit of $100,000; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000; and (iii) a promissory note in the amount of $2,700,000 and (b) 7,400,000 shares of its restricted common stock.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had transferred a total of $700,000 and issued 7,400,000 shares of common stock to GNE towards the purchase of the oil and gas properties, but the agreement has not been consummated. The $700,000 payment was initially recorded as a long-term deposit on the balance sheet and, subsequently, has been charged to impairment of deposit on the income statement for the year ended March 31, 2013.

 

GNE has returned the stock certificate for 7,400,000 shares, however, GNE did not submit an executed stock power which is required to cancel the GNE shares. The 7,400,000 shares are considered issued and outstanding at December 31, 2013.

 

On May 20, 2014, we sent a letter to GNE informing them of this determination and seeking to mutually terminate the GNE Agreement. Given the amount of time that has passed since we first entered into negotiations with GNE and the lack of any tangible results as contemplated in the GNE Agreement, in addition to GNE'S failure to uphold certain of its obligations under the Agreement, we determined it would be in our best interest to terminate the GNE Agreement. In that letter, we requested that GNE comply with the termination provisions of the GNE Agreement and provide the stock power necessary to cancel the shares and return the $700,000 advanced to them under the terms of the GNE Agreement. Accordingly, once GNE returns the $700,000 and submits the outstanding stock power, we shall immediately consent to and permit the mutual termination of the GNE Agreement.

$150,000 due at closing;

 

$100,000 due 31 days after closing;

 

$100,000 due 61 days after closing; and

 

$417,000 due 91 days after closing.

 

No payments have been made on this transaction and unless we receive additional financing, of which there can be no guarantee, we will not be able to close on this lease.

 

Wyoming – West Mule Creek

 

On August 6, 2014, the Company executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Wyoming PSA") with BGKP. Pursuant to the Wyoming PSA, the Company shall receive an agreed upon percentage of the working and net revenue interest in and to the West Mule Creek oilfield, which is located in Wyoming. Through this interest, the Company will receive a certain percentage of the West Mule Creek lease, acres of land within Niobrara County that contains 13 wells, certain rights to specific wells and land contained on the lease, as well as any by-products produced thereon, machinery, equipment and the books and records related to same. Pursuant to the Wyoming PSA, the parties also entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement (“JEA”), with a 3 year term. On August 6, 2014, the parties also entered into an addendum to the Wyoming PSA that clarifies that the Wyoming PSA shall not be interdependent with or upon the JEA and no default under the JEA shall effect the Wyoming PSA or the validity of the related purchase and sale. On July 23, 2015, both parties agreed to delay the acquisition of the West Mule Creek Oilfield until October 1, 2015.

Plan of Operation

 

We have $857,047 in current liabilities as of June 30, 2015. Through June 30, 2015, we have accumulated losses of $7,489,035. In order to survive as a going concern, the Company will require additional capital investments or borrowed funds to meet cash flow projections and carry forward our business objectives. There can be no guarantee or assurance that we can raise adequate capital from outside sources to fund the proposed business. Failure to secure additional financing would result in business failure and a complete loss of any investment made into the Company.

 

Since August 15, 2008, the Company has issued 20,105,293 shares of common stock and 182,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock. Proceeds from the sale of common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock have been utilized by the Company to fund its initial development including administrative costs associated with maintaining its status as a Reporting Company as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company plans to focus efforts on selling their common shares in order to continue to fund its initial development and fund the expenses associated with maintaining a reporting company status.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not recognize any revenues from operating activities.  

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized a net loss of $228,606 compared to $1,834,283 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease of $1,605,677 was primarily the result of a decrease in consulting expenses-related party. During the three month period ended June 30, 2014, Mr. Mike Farmer, a director, was awarded options to purchase 108,000 of common stock at $1.00 per share and options to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at $3.00 per share. The options were fully vested at the date of issuance of the award. The Company recognized an expense of $1,179,395 during the three month period ended June 30, 2014 for the option awards. No options expenses were recognized during the three month period ended June 30, 2015. Also during the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized expenses for warrant awards to Fidare and Mr. Colin Richardson, our chief executive office in the amount of $327,080. In July 2014, the Company restructured the Fidare consulting agreement and Richardson contracts, as a result, the Company did not issue any warrants during the three months ended June 30, 2015.  

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $8,039 in expenses for investor relations compared to none in the comparable period in the prior year.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $100,550 in professional fees as compared to $91,258 in the comparable period in 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $96,000 in professional fees to related parties compared to $1,688,616 in the comparable period in 2014. The professional fees were primarily related to legal, accounting, management, engineering and board fees, the Preferred Stock issuance and corporate governance. Professional fees- related party related to the professional services contract with Fidare Consulting Group, LLC to provide consulting services for corporate governance, accounting procedures and controls and strategic planning and with Colin Richardson, our CEO.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by $4,817 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $19,359 for the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily related to decreases in common stock transfer fees, quote fees for the Company’s common stock, and travel, meals and entertainment.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $4,658 in interest expense compared to $30,233 in the comparative period in 2014, a decrease of $25,575 or 84.5%. The decrease was mainly due to the additional interest expense from amortization of debt issuance costs of $26,938 included in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The debt issuance costs were fully amortized as of March 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had total current assets of $18. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had total current liabilities of $857,047 which include $448,993 in accounts payable, $380,778 in accounts payable-related party, and $27,176 in accrued interest. At June 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $857,029. In addition, the Company had a note payable to a related party in the amount of $616,155.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company used cash of $17,517 in our operations as compared to $90,621 during the same period ended June 30, 2014.  No cash was provided by or used in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by financing activities was $17,496 as compared to $91,576 during the same period in 2014.

 

Cicerone Corporate Development, LLC (a related party) advanced $17,496 and $91,576 to the Company for operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Short Term

 

On a short-term basis, the Company has not generated any revenue or revenues sufficient to cover operations. Based on prior history, the Company will continue to have insufficient revenue to satisfy current and recurring liabilities as the Company continues exploration activities.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Company will need to raise an additional $1,005,159 in funding to complete Phase I of the George PSA.  Phase II of the George PSA will require the Company to fund $2,500,000 for the drilling, testing, and completion of 20 wells in Bourbon, or Allen County, Kansas.

 

The Company will need to raise an additional $2,352,000 in funding to complete the Wyoming PSA.

 

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next year, however if operations are commenced, and substantial capital will be needed to pay for participation, investigation, exploration, acquisition and working capital.

Need for Additional Financing

 

The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet its cash needs. The Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. Once exploration commences, its needs for additional financing are likely to increase substantially. 

 

No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by the Company’s management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to us to allow us to cover the Company’s expenses as they may be incurred.

 

The Company will need substantial additional capital to support its proposed future petroleum exploration operations. The Company has no revenues. The Company has no committed source for any funds as of the date hereof. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed or at the terms acceptable to us if any at all, the Company may not be able to carry out its business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.

 

Decisions regarding future participation in exploration wells or geophysical studies or other activities will be made on a case-by-case basis. The Company may, in any particular case, decide to participate or decline participation.  If participating, the Company may pay its proportionate share of costs to maintain the Company’s proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing.  If participation is declined, the Company may elect to farm-out, non-consent, sell or otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some continuing interest in the prospect.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2015 or June 30, 2015, to cause the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Going forward from this filing, the Company intends to re-establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On June 7, 2012, several former shareholders (including the then CEO of the Company, Dr. Steven Henson, although not in such capacity) of Sun River Energy, Inc. (“Sun River”) filed a derivative action against Sun River and its management in a case now styled Colin Richardson, et al., derivatively on behalf of Sun River Energy, Inc. v. Sun River Energy, Inc. v. Donald R. Schmidt, Jr., et al., Cause No. DC-12-06318, in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas (the “Derivative Suit”). On January 24, 2013, the Court found the Plaintiffs in the case had shown a probable right to the relief sought at an evidentiary hearing and a likelihood of success on the claims of breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent transfer and certain defamation claims, and entered a temporary injunction against Sun River and its management (the “Temporary Injunction”). The terms of the Temporary Injunction prevent Sun River, and all officers, directors, agents, servants, attorneys, employees, and all those in active concert or participation, from any performance, claims of default, payments, transfer or other actions with respect to certain notes and mortgages; any payments on those notes based on alleged past due compensation without Board Approval and without providing notice to the parties; entry into contracts by Donald R. Schmidt, Jr. to lease, purchase, or sell Sun River’s interest in its hard rock minerals, coal, oil, timber, gas and or other minerals in Colfax County, New Mexico, without Board Approval and without providing notice to the parties, and any and all issuances of stock or any other compensation, payments, bonuses, gifts or other transfers by Sun River to the Defendants without Board Approval and without providing notice to the parties outside of normal payroll payment activity. On February 7, 2013, Defendants Schmidt et al. filed an Amended Answer, Special Exception, Counterclaim and Original Third Party Petition asserting claims against certain third parties for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of confidential information, and against the Company (as well as others) for conversion, constructive trust and conspiracy and places some of the blame for these alleged actions on Dr. Steven Henson. On January 27, 2014, upon motion made by the Company and other third party defendants in their joint motions for severance of third party claims relief was granted by the district court of Dallas County, Texas and a new suit, styled Sun River, et al. v. the Company, et al. (including the other initial third party defendants) was created (the “Third Party Suit”); however, as of March 31, 2015, Sun River has yet to pay the requisite filing fees and the case has yet to be assigned a cause number. As a result of such severance, the Company is no longer a party to the Derivative Suit. The Derivative Suit case was set for trial on June 9, 2014, which was later postponed to January 20, 2015, subject, it is understood to a Motion for Continuance. There is no current trial set in the Third Party Suit although the parties to the Third Party Suit have circulated an agreed Scheduling Order setting the Third Party Suit for trial in January 2015; no order setting such trial date has been submitted for the Court’s signature as of this date. In addition, Sun River appealed the decision of temporary injunction in the Derivative Suit and on January 13, 2014, the Appeals Court reversed the temporary injunction in the Derivative Suit on the grounds that the Plaintiffs did not show imminent harm. Plaintiffs in the Derivative Suit have filed a new request for temporary injunction to the Appeals Court seeking new relief. Dr. Steven Henson believes the claims in the Third Party Suit are completely without merit and the Company will defend their respective positions vigorously.

 

On January 15, 2013, Gruber Hurst Johansen Hail Shank LLP ("GHJHS") initiated a lawsuit against Steve Henson, M.D., David K. Henson, Colin Richardson, et al, in the 134th District Court of Dallas County, Cause No. DC-13-00553. GHJHS brought this suit seeking payment for legal representation previously provided to the defendants regarding the Sun River case disclosed above. This case was later assigned to mediation. On June 29, 2014, the Court issued a final order dismissing GHJHS’s claims against Mr. Richardson and accordingly the case was closed. On or about July 7, 2014, GHJHS filed a motion to amend the final order in light of an outstanding Motion for Summary Judgment pending against Mr. Henson. As of the date of this filing, the Court has not moved on the motion to amend the final order, and therefore the case remains closed as of the date of this filing.

There is a letter dated December 17, 2012 from Dr. Steven Henson to Michael Farmer, who at the time was not a director or officer of Rangeford, with regard to our offering of up to $3,000,000 of our preferred stock in connection with our proposed acquisition of certain properties from Great Northern Energy, Inc. In the letter, Dr. Henson, who at the time was the President and Chairman of the Board of Rangeford, purported to grant a right of rescission to certain investors in the event that we were unable to raise the full amount of funds necessary to acquire the subject properties from Great Northern Energy. This right of rescission was never approved by our Board of Directors and it is our position that Dr. Henson acted without proper authority in providing the letter to Mr. Farmer, as the representative of certain investors. At this point no claim has been made by any of the investors, who invested approximately $300,000 in Rangeford and we have no reason to assume that a claim will ultimately be made.

 

Other than the above mentioned litigation matters, neither we nor any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries is a party to, nor is any of our property the subject of, any legal proceedings. There are no proceedings pending in which any of our officers, directors or 5% shareholders are adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or in which they are taking a position or have a material interest that is adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.
