PETROGAS COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
These financial statements of PetroGas Company, formerly America Resources Exploration, Inc. (“the Company"), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read along with the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2015.


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of December 31,2015, the Company’s significant accounting policies were consistent with those discussed in the unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2015.

Basis of Consolidation - These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 94% owned subsidiary, Seabourn Oil Company, LLC.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Oil and Gas Properties—The Company follows the full cost accounting method to account for oil and natural gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on nonproducing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to operations.
   
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized as depreciation, depletion and amortization expense using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves.
 
The costs associated with unevaluated and unproved properties, initially excluded from the amortization base, relate to unproved leasehold acreage, wells and production facilities in progress and wells pending determination of the existence of proved reserves, together with capitalized interest costs for these projects. Unproved leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well once a determination of the existence of proved reserves has been made or upon impairment of a lease. Costs associated with wells in progress and completed wells that have yet to be evaluated are transferred to the amortization base once a determination is made whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Costs of dry wells are transferred to the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is unsuccessful.
 
All items classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization.

Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the "cost ceiling") equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current prices and operating conditions, discounted at ten percent (10%), plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to operations.  For purposes of the ceiling test calculation, current prices are defined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month within the 12 month period prior to the end of the reporting period.  Prices are adjusted for basis or location differentials.  Unless sales contracts specify otherwise, prices are held constant for the productive life of each well.  Similarly, current costs are assumed to remain constant over the entire calculation period.

Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline in the future, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that impairments of oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves.
 
Revenue Recognition—Oil and gas sales result from undivided interests held by the Company in oil and gas properties. Sales of oil and gas produced from oil and gas operations are recognized when the product is delivered to the purchaser and title transfers to the purchaser. Charges for gathering and transportation are included in production expenses.  The Company had no sales of oil and gas during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Asset Retirement Obligations—The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations ("ARO") associated with its oil and gas wells when those assets are placed in service. The corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset and included in the carrying amount of oil and gas properties and is depleted over the useful life of the properties. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value.
 
Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.
 
Capitalized Interest—Interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost of developing and constructing assets for significant projects. Significant oil and gas investments in unproved properties, significant exploration and development projects for which depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is not currently recognized, and exploration or development activities that are in progress qualify for interest capitalization. Interest is capitalized until the asset is ready for service. Capitalized interest is determined by multiplying the Company's weighted-average borrowing cost on debt by the average amount of qualifying costs incurred. Once an asset subject to interest capitalization is completed and placed in service, the associated capitalized interest is expensed through depletion or impairment, along with other capitalized costs related to that asset.

On May 27, 2015, the Company incorporated a limited liability corporation in the State of Texas called Seabourn Oil Company, LLC (“Seabourn LLC”) for the purpose of acquiring certain oil and gas leases.  On May 27, 2015 Seabourn completed the acquisition of the leases from Nelaco Operating Company, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Joe Seabourn, a member of our board of directors.  Under the terms of the assignment and bill of sale, Seabourn LLC acquired a 100% working interest and an 80% net revenue interest in a total of 960 acres located in two tracts in Callahan County, Texas.  Under the terms of the agreements Mr. Seabourn retains a 6% ownership interest in Seabourn LLC.  The Company capitalized this property at a nominal value of $100 in respect of the transaction due to the fact that Mr. Seabourn was unable to provide historical cost for the acquired lease land.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zheng Xiangwu (“Zheng”), a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, and the Company’s controlling shareholder (see Note 5 ), whereby the Company issued 4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”).  The 4 million shares were valued at Zheng’s historical cost totalling $160,000.  The transaction closed on June 12, 2015.
 
On June 11, 2015 the Company entered into various assignment agreements for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and ORR’s as set out in the table below.  On July 6 and July 9, 2015 respectively the Company concluded Asset Purchase Agreements with respect to the aforementioned assignments whereunder the Company issued a total of 650,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Zheng. The Company valued the transaction at the market price of the shares as at the date of issue, or $0.15 per share for a total value of $97,500.  The Company capitalized the historical cost of the acquired assets totaling $51,263 and recorded a loss on acquisition of $46,237.

On August 13, 2015 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Inceptus Resources, LLC whereunder the Company acquired a 78% net revenue interest in 200 acres located in Callahan County, Texas, and a 78% net revenue interest in 522 acres also located in Callahan County, Texas.  In respect of the acquired leases the Company issued a total of 500,000 shares of common stock on the closing date, August 19, 2015 which shares were valued at market price on the date of the transaction, totaling $448,500, which amount was capitalized.  As at September 30, 2015 the Company evaluated the capitalized value of the leases and determined to impair the amount in full due to the fact that the Company had no historical cost basis for the leases, and no immediate development plans for the lease land.  A total of $448,500 has been expensed as Impairment loss on oil and gas lease in the current quarter.
 
During the period the Company completed various workovers and other improvements to certain of its existing wellbores, which amounts totaling $77,044 were capitalized under Proved Properties.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
 
The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015 because the Company estimates it will record no income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.  The Company recorded no income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. The Company has a valuation allowance that fully offsets net deferred tax assets.

On May 27, 2015, Seabourn Oil Company, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“SOC”) and a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Joe Madison Seabourn, a resident of Abilene, Texas and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Mr. Seabourn”) and Nelaco Operating Inc., a Texas corporation (“Nelaco”), whereby SOC agreed to purchase from Nelaco one hundred percent (100%) interest in certain oil and gas assets located in Callahan County, Texas in exchange for a six percent (6%) ownership interest in SOC, which reduces the Company’s ownership interest in SOC to ninety-four percent (94%).  Mr. Seabourn is also the President and controlling shareholder of Nelaco.

The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated June 10, 2015, with Zheng Xiangwu, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”).  The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by valuing the oil and gas leases at $160,000 and valuing the Company’s stock at $0.04 per share.

Mr. Zheng is the owner of Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Rise Fast”), which is the majority shareholder of the Company. Rise Fast owned 90,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Zheng controlled a total of 94,000,000 shares, which represented 72.64% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares at the time.

The transaction was completed on June 12, 2015 and accounted for a business combination as the Company is under control of Mr. Zheng.

The three (3) leases acquired by the Company are situated in Atascosa and Frio Counties, Texas, located in the Eagle Ford Shale formation - the Jane Burns “C” (“Burns”), the Theo Rogers “C”, and the Theo Rogers “A” & “D” (“Rogers”) Leases. The Company acquired a 99.5% working interest (74.625% net revenue interest) in each lease.  We estimate the Burns and Rogers Leases contain 68,272 net barrels of proved oil reserves having a PV-10 value of approximately $1,007,000 as of April 1, 2015.

As a result of the acquisition of the assets described above, the Company’s operations moved into the oil and gas sector.

On July 6, July 8 and July 9, 2015, the Company entered into five (5) Asset Purchase Agreements with Mr. Zheng Xiangwu, an individual residing in China and the Company's largest shareholder, whereby the Company purchased from Mr. Zheng the rights to certain oil and gas assets located in Ellis and Harper Counties, Oklahoma; Hemphill County, Texas; Madison County, Texas; Shelby County, Texas and Emery County, Utah. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued to Mr. Zheng a total of 650,000 shares of common stock in consideration for these oil and gas assets.  The Company is deemed to be the assignee of the oil and gas assets that are the subject of the five (5) Asset Purchase Agreements effective June 11, 2015.

During the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company completed various workovers and other improvements to certain of its existing wellbores, at a cost of $77,044. However, the Company has not been able to obtain any additional financing due to the deteriorating conditions in the oil market and as a result has had to suspend its rework program, pursuant to which it had hoped to be able to reactive its inactive wells.

For the quarter Ended December 31, 2015:

Results of Operations

For the three month periods ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no revenue.  Expenses for the three month period and nine month period ended December 31, 2015, were significantly greater than during the same periods from the prior year due to incurring lease operating expense and accretion expense of $4,060 during the three month period ended December 31, 2015 and $48,656 during the nine month period ended December 31, 2015, as a result of acquiring the leases that are described above. The lease operating expense is attributable to the interests in the Leases acquired, and the accretion expense is attributable to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for any wells permanently removed from service. Our general and administrative expenses also increased substantially due to the fact that since June 11, 2015, we started operating in the oil and gas business, whereas prior thereto we were a shell corporation with no actual business operations. Our general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2015, were $28,590 and $124,499, respectively, compared to $1,565 and $22,886 for the same periods from the prior year, respectively.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
Our capital resources and liquidity have undergone significant changes during the period ended December 31, 2015. As of such date, we had $7,041 in working capital, as compared to ($29) in working capital at March 31, 2015. The increase in our working capital is due to our largest shareholder providing the Company with a loan in the amount of $110,000 and purchasing 1 million shares of common stock at $0.15 per share, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $150,000. During the period ended December 31, 2015, we repaid $55,980 of the $110,000 loan.

Our Property and equipment has also increase from nil at March 31, 2015, to a total of $270,739 as at December 31, 2015. The increase in property and equipment is due to the acquisition of interests in the Leases and other oil and gas assets described above, which were acquired from the issuance of a total of 5,150,000 shares of our common stock and a six percent (6%) ownership interest in our subsidiary limited liability company, Seabourn Oil Company LLC.

Currently the Company does not have any arrangements or agreements with any party to raise such funds. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash and other assets to meet its operational and overhead requirements through March 31, 2016. Thereafter, the Company will have to raise funds through the sale of stock or debt financing . The Company expects that it will need to raise another $90,000 to meet its cash requirements in the next twelve (12) months.
 
 
13

 
 
Our total long-term liabilities has also increased to $63,095 as at December 31, 2015, compared to nil as at our fiscal year end March 31, 2015, due to the aforementioned note to our largest shareholder of $110,00 and asset retirement obligations of $9,075.
 
As a result of these asset acquisitions our total stockholders’ equity has increased from  $(29) as at March 31. 2015, to $214,686 as at December 31. 2015.
