PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Texas South Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on March 15, 2010. The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business.

 

In January, 2017 Texas South Energy, Inc. formed Texas South Operating Company, Inc as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. It was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas on January 11, 2017.

 

Texas South Energy, Inc and Texas South Operating Company, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) began filing consolidated financial statements effective with the March 31, 2017 filing. The consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions and balances.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Management believes that the disclosures made in these unaudited financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Texas South Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on March 15, 2010. The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business.

 

In January 2017, The Company formed Texas South Operating Company, Inc as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. It was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas on January 11, 2017.

 

Texas South Energy, Inc. and Texas South Operating Company, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) began filing consolidated financial statements effective with the March 31, 2017 filing. The consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions and balances.

 

The Company has limited operating history and has devoted its activities to the acquisition of oil and gas assets.

 

The Company had established a fiscal year end of October 31; however, on March 3, 2017 the Company adopted a year end of December 31. A transition 10-K was filed for the period November 2016 through December 2016 to report the change in our year end.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Management believes that the disclosures made in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

 

 F-5 

 

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the Company is operating at a loss, it has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly basic loss and diluted loss per share are the same.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued its final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard, issued as Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted for reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. This new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Because the Company has no revenue, the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which relates to the accounting for leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2018 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have sufficient cash, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operational costs in order to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses as of June 30, 2018, of $14,248,407. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through the best-efforts placement of its equity and/or debt securities in order to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 4 - OIL & GAS PROPERTIES

 

In March 2014, we entered into a farm out letter agreement with GulfSlope Energy, Inc. (“GulfSlope”) relating to certain prospects GulfSlope bid on at the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 231, located within 2.2 million acres of 3-D seismic licensed and interpreted by GulfSlope. Under the terms of the farm-out letter agreement, as amended, we acquired contractual rights to a 20% working interest in 12 blocks covered in 9 prospects for approximately $10,720,000 paid to GulfSlope through June 30, 2018. We have agreed to pay our proportionate share of the net rental costs related to the prospects. GulfSlope has conducted extensive seismic work on all of the prospects focusing on the high potential subsalt play at depths of 15,000’ to 25,000’ and will be the operator of record for the initial well on each of the prospects. 

 

 F-6 

 

 

In May 2016, we entered into a letter of intent with GulfSlope that set forth terms and conditions of a farm-out arrangement to develop certain shallow-depth oil and gas prospects located on offshore Gulf of Mexico blocks currently leased by GulfSlope. The shallow prospects were located above 5,100 feet vertical depth on the Vermilion Area, South Addition Block 378 (“Canoe Shallow”) and Vermilion Area, South Addition Block 375 (“Selectron Shallow”, and collectively with Canoe Shallow, “Shallow Prospects”). At that time we owned a 70.7% working interest in the Shallow Prospects with a third party owning a 16.8% working interest for which it paid $400,000 and GulfSlope retaining a 12.5% working interest. Texas South acquired the interest in the two prospects in exchange for (i) cash payments of $400,000, (ii) the payment of annual rental obligations of $63,147, and (iii) the agreement to fund, or cause to be funded, the costs for the drilling of two shallow wells prior to December 31, 2017. The farmout on both prospects from GulfSlope expired on December 31, 2017. 

 

On January 8, 2018, the Company entered into a participation agreement dated effective January 1, 2018 (the “Agreement”) with Delek GOM Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Delek Group Ltd. (“Delek”), and GulfSlope (collectively, the “Parties”) for the partial farm-out of the Company’s interests in its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas leases (the “Farm-out”). The Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the Parties participation in the drilling of up to a nine well multi-phase exploration program targeting the Company’s prospects (the “Prospects”) located on the Company’s existing leases (the “Leases”).

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties have committed to initially drill two of the Company’s prospects in Phase I (the “Initial Phase”) with Delek having the option to participate in two additional two-well drilling phases and a final, three-well drilling phase (collectively, the “Phases”). In each Phase, Delek will earn a 75% working interest upon paying 90% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each exploratory well. The Company will thus retain a 5% working interest while paying 2% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each well. In addition, Delek will pay the Company $405,000 upon the filing of each exploration plan with BOEM and/or BSEE on a Prospect in each Phase. During March 2018 Delek made its first payment of $405,000 to the Company as the initial plan was filed. Delek made a second payment of $405,000 to the Company during May 2018. Also, each Party will be responsible for its pro rata share (based on working interest) of delay rentals associated with the Prospects. GulfSlope will be the Operator during exploratory drilling of a Prospect, however, subsequent to a commercial discovery, Delek will have the right to become the Operator. Delek will have the right to terminate this Agreement at the conclusion of any drilling Phase. Delek will also have the option to purchase up to 5% of the Company’s common stock upon fulfilling its obligation for each Phase (maximum of 20% in the aggregate) at a price per share equal to a 10% discount to the 30-day weighted average closing price for the Company’s common stock preceding the acquisition. This option will expire on January 8, 2020. The Company has not recorded any cost associated with the option due to the future performance obligation of Delek. If Delek meets the obligation and exercises its option the Company will record the option value at that time as an increase to Oil and Gas Properties. At June 30, 2018, the potential value of issuing 20% of our outstanding stock is approximately $6,000,000. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the terms, provisions and conditions of such document, and represents only a summary of certain of the principal terms, provisions and conditions thereof.

 

The Company will assign a two-tenths of one percent of 8/8ths net profits interest in certain of the Company’s oil and gas leases in the two Phase I prospects to Hi-View Investment Partners, LLC (“Hi-View”) in consideration for consulting services provided pursuant to a non-exclusive consulting engagement dated October 25, 2017, by and between Hi-View, the Company, and GulfSlope (the “Advisory Agreement”). Hi-View will be entitled to additional assignments on the same terms and conditions as described above related to any of Leases in which Delek elects to participate in the drilling of an exploratory well. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of twenty million shares of its common stock to Hi-View in consideration for those consulting services provided pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. In the event that Delek has not funded the $405,000 payment referenced above within six months of execution of this Agreement, then the common stock will be returned by Hi-View to the Company. Delek funded the first $405,000 payment during March 2018 and the second $405,000 payment during May 2018.

 

In January 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Sydson Energy, Inc. (“Sydson Energy”) and Sydson Resources, L.P. (“Sydson Resources” and collectively with Sydson Energy, “Sydson”), where Sydson assigned to us certain onshore oil and gas assets and interests and certain tangible assets and additionally, certain employees and a consultant of Sydson have agreed to become employees and a consultant of the Company. Sydson is a private oil and gas company with land operations in Texas and Louisiana that has been in business since 1982. The oil and gas assets include the following:

 

  In Texas, we acquired a 50% working interest in the undrilled acreage above 4,500’ in the West Tuleta Field, Bee County, Texas comprised of approximately 1,800 gross acres and 900 net acres with a net revenue interest of approximately 75%. The primary drilling objectives are the Vicksburg and Hockley sands which are structurally high on this acreage compared to the prior downdip production.

 

  In the adjacent Ray Field, also in Bee County, Texas, we acquired a 50% working interest in the undrilled, acreage on the Walton, Campbell, and Ray leases comprising approximately 75 gross acres with a net revenue interest of approximately 75%. The primary drilling objectives on this acreage are also the Vicksburg and Hockley sands updip to prior production above 3,700’.

 

  Southeast of San Antonio, we are acquiring leases with working interest partners covering approximately 4,000 acres or more for horizontal projects above 6,000’ in the Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, and Buda Lime formation. These projects are adjacent to substantial prior production and contain both conventional and unconventional oil targets. We expect to begin drilling operations on the first well during the third quarter of 2018.

Business Overview

 

Our business plan as an oil and gas company is to focus primarily on properties in the Gulf Coast Region. We plan to obtain and manage working and non-working interests in oil and gas properties.

 

We are currently in the business of exploring for, drilling and producing oil and gas. Our business is subject to multiple factors effecting the production of oil and gas, including, but not limited to: market prices; national and international economic conditions; import and export quotas; availability of drilling rigs, casing, pipe, and other equipment and supplies; availability of and proximity to pipelines and other transportation facilities; the supply and price of competitive fuels; and the regulation of prices, production, transportation, and marketing by domestic and foreign governmental authorities. Additionally, we may not have control over whether the owner or operator of the lease will elect to explore for oil and gas on such properties, or to develop them following discoveries that may occur. Each of these factors may affect the rate at which oil and gas are produced, if ever, on properties in which we may have an interest.

 

Our Current Mineral Interests

 

In March 2014, we entered into a farm out letter agreement with GulfSlope Energy, Inc. relating to certain prospects GulfSlope bid on at the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 231, located within 2.2 million acres of 3-D seismic licensed and interpreted by GulfSlope. Under the terms of the farm-out letter agreement, as amended, we acquired contractual rights to a 20% working interest in 12 blocks covered in 9 prospects and have paid approximately $10,720,000 to GulfSlope through June 30, 2018. We have agreed to pay our proportionate share of the net rental costs related to the prospects. GulfSlope has conducted extensive seismic work on all of the prospects focusing on the high potential subsalt play at depths of 15,000’ to 25,000’ and will be the operator of record for the initial well on each of the prospects.

 

In May 2016, we entered into a letter of intent with GulfSlope that set forth terms and conditions of a farm-out arrangement to develop certain shallow-depth oil and gas prospects located on offshore Gulf of Mexico blocks currently leased by GulfSlope. The shallow prospects were located above 5,100 feet vertical depth on the Vermilion Area, South Addition Block 378 (“Canoe Shallow”) and Vermilion Area, South Addition Block 375 (“Selectron Shallow”, and collectively with Canoe Shallow, “Shallow Prospects”). At that time we owned a 70.7% working interest in the Shallow Prospects with a third party owning a 16.8% working interest for which it paid $400,000 and GulfSlope retaining a 12.5% working interest. Texas South acquired the interest in the two prospects in exchange for (i) cash payments of $400,000, (ii) the payment of annual rental obligations of $63,147, and (iii) the agreement to fund, or cause to be funded, the costs for the drilling of two shallow wells prior to December 31, 2017. The farmout on both prospects from GulfSlope expired on December 31, 2017. 

 

On January 8, 2018, the Company entered into a participation agreement dated effective January 1, 2018 (the “Agreement”) with Delek GOM Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Delek Group Ltd. (“Delek”), and GulfSlope (collectively, the “Parties”) for the partial farm-out of the Company’s interests in its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas leases (the “Farm-out”). The Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the Parties participation in the drilling of up to a nine well multi-phase exploration program targeting the Company’s prospects (the “Prospects”) located on the Company’s existing leases (the “Leases”).

 

 2 

 

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties have committed to initially drill two of the Company’s prospects in Phase I (the “Initial Phase”) with Delek having the option to participate in two additional two-well drilling phases and a final, three-well drilling phase (collectively, the “Phases”). In each Phase, Delek will earn a 75% working interest upon paying 90% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each exploratory well. The Company will thus retain a 5% working interest while paying 2% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each well. In addition, Delek will pay the Company $405,000 upon the filing of each exploration plan with BOEM and/or BSEE on a Prospect in each Phase. During March 2018 Delek made its first payment of $405,000 to the Company as the initial plan was filed. Delek made a second payment of $405,000 to the Company during May 2018. Also, each Party will be responsible for its pro rata share (based on working interest) of delay rentals associated with the Prospects. GulfSlope will be the Operator during exploratory drilling of a Prospect, however, subsequent to a commercial discovery, Delek will have the right to become the Operator. Delek will have the right to terminate this Agreement at the conclusion of any drilling Phase. Delek will also have the option to purchase up to 5% of the Company’s common stock upon fulfilling its obligation for each Phase (maximum of 20% in the aggregate) at a price per share equal to a 10% discount to the 30-day weighted average closing price for the Company’s common stock preceding the acquisition. This option will expire on January 8, 2020. The Company has not recorded any cost associated with the option due to the future performance obligation of Delek. If Delek meets the obligation and exercises its option the Company will record the option value at that time as an increase to Oil and Gas Properties. At June 30, 2018, the potential value of issuing 20% of our outstanding stock is approximately $6,000,000. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the terms, provisions and conditions of such document, and represents only a summary of certain of the principal terms, provisions and conditions thereof.

 

The Company will assign a two-tenths of one percent of 8/8ths net profits interest in certain of the Company’s oil and gas leases in the two Phase I prospects to Hi-View Investment Partners, LLC (“Hi-View”) in consideration for consulting services provided pursuant to a non-exclusive consulting engagement dated October 25, 2017, by and between Hi-View, the Company, and GulfSlope (the “Advisory Agreement”). Hi-View will be entitled to additional assignments on the same terms and conditions as described above related to any of Leases in which Delek elects to participate in the drilling of an exploratory well. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of twenty million shares of its common stock to Hi-View in consideration for those consulting services provided pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. In the event that Delek has not funded the $405,000 payment referenced above within six months of execution of this Agreement, then the common stock will be returned by Hi-View to the Company. Delek funded the first $405,000 payment during March 2018 and the second $405,000 payment during May 2018.

 

In January 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Sydson Energy, Inc. (“Sydson Energy”) and Sydson Resources, L.P. (“Sydson Resources” and collectively with Sydson Energy, “Sydson”), where Sydson assigned to us certain onshore oil and gas assets and interests and certain tangible assets and additionally, certain employees and a consultant of Sydson have agreed to become employees and a consultant of the Company. Sydson is a private oil and gas company with land operations in Texas and Louisiana that has been in business since 1982. The oil and gas assets include the following:

 

  In Texas, we acquired a 50% working interest in the undrilled acreage above 4,500’ in the West Tuleta Field, Bee County, Texas comprised of approximately 1,800 gross acres and 900 net acres with a net revenue interest of approximately 75%. The primary drilling objectives are the Vicksburg and Hockley sands which are structurally high on this acreage compared to the prior downdip production.

 

  In the adjacent Ray Field, also in Bee County, Texas, we acquired a 50% working interest in the undrilled, acreage on the Walton, Campbell, and Ray leases comprising approximately 75 gross acres with a net revenue interest of approximately 75%. The primary drilling objectives on this acreage are also the Vicksburg and Hockley sands updip to prior production above 3,700’.

 

  Southeast of San Antonio, we are acquiring leases with working interest partners covering approximately 4,000 acres or more for horizontal projects above 6,000’ in the Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, and Buda Lime formation. These projects are adjacent to substantial prior production and contain both conventional and unconventional oil targets. We expect to begin drilling operations on the first well during the third quarter of 2018.

Business and Acquisition Strategy

 

Our primary business strategy includes acquiring both working and non-working interests in oil and gas properties throughout the Gulf Coast Region and Texas, including offshore prospects. We will consider acquisitions that serve as a platform for complementary operations. In January, 2017 the Company acquired assets from Sydson Energy, Inc. and Sydson Resources, LP.

 

The cost of implementing the forgoing programs will depend on what oil and gas interests are identified and available on terms acceptable to us. Even if we identify oil and gas interests that are available, the cost of pursuing and acquiring them could be significant. Our ability to pursue any such opportunities will be dependent on our ability to obtain financings through private equity, debt financings or agreements with joint venture partners. We can provide no assurance that we have the necessary cash available or will be able to successfully obtain the necessary financing or joint venture partners to pursue such opportunities.

 

We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to incur losses in future periods. We rely primarily upon the sale of our equity securities to fund operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $1,838,551 and a working capital deficit of $1,646,481. Our accumulated deficit from inception (March 15, 2010) to June 30, 2018 was $14,248,407. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our net loss of $1,371,647 was mostly funded by proceeds raised from equity financings. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash position increased by $1,838,096 as a result of the sale of some of our interests in our prospects, receiving prepaid costs from our participation agreement on the Wilinda project, and the sale of the Company’s common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we issued 81,340,273 shares of common stock, of which 30,850,000 shares were issued for cash in the amount of $617,000, 20,000,000 shares were issued for lease brokerage fees valued at $400,000, 25,000,000 shares were issued to convert $600,000 of a note payable balance into common stock and 5,490,273 shares were issued to two employees and a consultant for services rendered in lieu of cash for $77,068.

 

We will need additional financing to carry out our business plan. Specifically, we will need cash to fund our obligations with respect to (i) drilling the Canoe and Tau Prospects in Phase I of the offshore program (ii) funding our drilling obligations with respect to the Wilinda project, and (iii) funding our contingent liabilities under the Sydson agreement. Obtaining additional financing will be subject to a number of factors including market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan, and other conditions outside of our control. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we cannot raise additional funds, we will not be able to carry out our business plans and may cease operations.

General and administrative expenses were $1,262,152 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $2,216,668 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, of which $845,710 were non-cash expenses. Interest expense was $91,166 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $96,208 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (who also serves as our principal financial officer) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer (who also serves as our principal financial officer) concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Due to 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. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Management’s Interim Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings that have been threatened against us.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Company sold shares of stock for cash and/or converted note payable balances that were not reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K or in Part II, Item 5 of the Annual report on Form 10-K and such transactions are being reported hereby, as follows.

 

During April 2018, $200,000 of a note payable balance was converted into 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.02 per share.

In April 2018, the employment agreements for Mr. Mayell and Mr. Connally were amended, whereby all or a portion of the compensation owed to Mr. Mayell and Mr. Connally for the period from January 2017 through April 30, 2018 can be paid by the Company, at the option of the employee, in restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.02 per share. As of the filing date of this report, neither has exercised their option to be paid in common stock. If all of the compensation owed was converted into shares of stock, Mr. Mayell would receive 28,000,000 shares and Mr. Connally would receive 27,500,000 shares. 

In July 2018, the consulting agreement for Mr. Askew was amended, whereby all or a portion of the compensation owed to Mr. Askew for the period from February 2017 through April 30, 2018 can be paid by the Company, at the option of the consultant, in restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.02 per share. The total owed to Mr. Askew for that period was $525,000. If all of the compensation owed was converted into shares of stock, Mr. Askew would receive 26,250,000 shares of common stock. Mr. Askew has not elected to convert the currently owed compensation.

 

During April 1 through May 11, 2018 third party investors purchased 4,700,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.02 per share totaling $94,000. 

 

During May 12, 2018 through August 13, 2018 third party investors purchased 9,750,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.02 per share totaling $195,000. 

 

During June 2018 the Company issued a total of 2,467,793 shares of common stock to certain employees and a consultant for services rendered through June 2018. 

 

During July 2018 the Company issued an aggregate of 20,600,000 shares of common stock to two third-parties who had entered into participation agreements with the Company, in settlement and extinguishment of all rights and claims in connection therewith. 

 

As discussed in Note 8, effective July 20, 2018, the remaining principal balance of $518,355 plus the accrued interest as of July 20, 2018 owed to an accredited investor, was converted into 38,198,147 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.025 per share.

 

Under the terms of our participation agreement with Delek, the parties have committed to initially drill two of the Company’s prospects in the “Initial Phase” with Delek having the option to participate in two additional two-well drilling phases and a final, three-well drilling phase (collectively, the “Phases”). In each Phase, Delek will earn a 75% working interest upon paying 90% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each exploratory well. The Company will thus retain a 5% working interest while paying 2% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each well. In addition, Delek will pay the Company $405,000 upon the filing of each exploration plan with BOEM and/or BSEE on a prospect in each Phase. During March 2018 Delek made its first payment of $405,000 to the Company as the initial plan was filed. Delek made a second payment of $405,000 to the Company during May 2018. Also, each party will be responsible for its pro rata share (based on working interest) of delay rentals associated with the prospects. Delek will also have the option to purchase up to 5% of the Company’s common stock upon fulfilling its obligation for each Phase (maximum of 20% in the aggregate) at a price per share equal to a 10% discount to the 30-day weighted average closing price for the Company’s common stock preceding the acquisition. This option will expire on January 8, 2020. The Company has not recorded any cost associated with the option due to the future performance obligation of Delek. As of the date hereof, Delek is not a beneficial holder of Company Common Stock as the future performance event has not occurred to date.  If Delek meets the obligation and exercises its option the Company will record the option value at that time as an increase to oil and Gas Properties.

 

In connection with the Company’s January 2017 asset acquisition transaction with Sydson Energy, Inc., an affiliate of Mr. Mayell (“Sydson”), the Company acquired a 75% working interest in the Wilinda prospect, with Sydson retaining a 25% working interest.  The Company is in the process of farming out its 75% working interest in Wilinda, and Sydson is also farming down its interest on a pro-rata basis.  The Company and Sydson expect to farm-out an aggregate of 66.67% of the Wilinda working interest to investors, with the Company ultimately retaining a 25% working interest and Sydson an 8.33% working interest.  In connection with the farm-out, the investors will purchase up to 33,333,350 shares of Company common stock for a purchase price of $666,667, or $0.02 per share.  To date, the Company and Sydson have agreed to farm down an aggregate of 61%, and in connection with the farm out, the Company has sold 30,500,000 shares for $610,000. Of the total shares sold to date, 4,500,000 shares were purchased after June 30, 2018 for cash proceeds of $90,000. None of the cash proceeds were paid to Sydson, and effective July 2018, the Company has issued Sydson an unsecured demand promissory note in the amount of up to $166,667 that is convertible into Company common stock at a price of $0.02 per share.

 

The issuances of these securities did not involve the payment of any sales commissions and were exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
