PART 1

 

ITEM 1.

 

Business

 

The Company’s current business is centered on coal bed methane energy and the production of associated natural gas.

 

On September 25, 2013, WoodGate Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed the acquisitions of two entities in separate stock-for stock transactions (collectively, and together, the “Acquisitions): (1) E&P CO, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“EPCO”) and (2) Prestige O&G, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Prestige”). The purpose of the Acquisitions was to facilitate and prepare the Company for a registration statement and/or public offering of securities. The acquisition by the Company of EPCO is referred to herein as the “EPCO Acquisition,” and the acquisition by the Company of Prestige is referred to herein as the “Prestige Acquisition.”

 

The EPCO Acquisition was effectuated by the Company through the exchange of each of the outstanding membership units of EPCO for 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, in the EPCO Acquisition, all of the outstanding membership interests in aggregate of EPCO were exchanged for, and converted into, 13,337,280 shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, as part of the EPCO Acquisition, EPCO’s outstanding debt was converted into shares of common stock of the Company, resulting in 13,296,950 shares of common stock of the Company being issued to holders of EPCO’s debt. Hence, the Company issued a total of 26,634,230 shares of common stock of the Company in the EPCO Acquisition.

 

The Prestige Acquisition was effectuated by the Company through the exchange of each of the outstanding membership units of Prestige for 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, in the Prestige Acquisition, all of the outstanding membership interests in aggregate of Prestige were exchanged for, and converted into, 10,115,770 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

In sum, a total of 36,750,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued in the Acquisitions.

 

EPCO was formed in June 2005 in the State of Texas, and is engaged in the development, drilling and production of coal bed methane (CBM) gas on a concession located in the State of Louisiana. EPCO is engaged in the development of CBM wells, and it currently holds three producing wells and one salt water disposal well, and is in the process of developing additional wells. The main source of revenue for the Company is sale of CBM gas to Regency Gas Services, LLC. EPCO currently has access to about 10,000 net mineral acres of land (through a lease) which has the potential of developing additional CBM wells.

 

Prestige was formed in June 2009 in the State of Texas, and invests in and develops oil and gas production projects mainly in the United States. As one of its major investments, Prestige formerly held an interest in EPCO (which interest was withdrawn on June 30, 2013 in preparation for the Acquisitions) and is currently a partner with EPCO in its CBM Gas Project in the State of Louisiana.

 

As a result of the Acquisitions, each of EPCO and Prestige became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company, as the sole shareholder of each of EPCO and Prestige, has taken over the operations and business plans of each of EPCO and Prestige.

 

Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had no significant business, operations or plan. Accordingly, the business of the Company below is that of EPCO and Prestige, each of which the Company acquired in the Acquisitions. The Company is specialized in the field of operating and managing natural gas projects.

 

2
 

 

EPCO commenced developing wells and raising funds to finance well development activities and initiated the process of drilling the third gas production well during 2010 and completed lateral drilling of the third well in 2011. Through its efforts to date, EPCO has a complete, fully operational processing facility and three developed and producing wells with limited quantities of gas pending the stabilization of the wells, in addition to two saltwater disposal wells . The gas process facility is designed to accommodate approximately 30 wells and includes a main connection to the sales pipeline network.

 

EPCO (with which Prestige is a partner) is the primary owner company of NE Caldwell Gas project in Louisiana. EPCO has completed the development of the main facility for the necessary infrastructure required to service the produced gas and transfer it to the main pipeline, in addition to the development of the first three wells from its own resources where existing wells are operational and producing natural gas. EPCO has successfully conducted directional drilling techniques in its operation where lateral drilling was successfully completed so far. All current production is being sold under an agreement with Regency Gas Services, LLC through the main interstate pipeline.

 

Prestige O & G, LLC invests in and develops oil and gas projects in the United States. Prestige, since its inception in 2009, held an interest in EPCO (which interest was withdrawn on June 30, 2013 in preparation for the Acquisitions) and is currently a partner with EPCO in its CBM Gas Project NE Caldwell in the State of Louisiana. Other than its interest in EPCO, Prestige did not have other substantive business operations of a material nature from 2009 until June 2013.

 

In June 2013, EPCO entered into a participation agreement with Prestige to establish a partnership in this project whereby each of EPCO and Prestige now holds a 50% interest in the project. Prestige also holds interest in another project (Washington project) which is in very initial stage. The Washington project is an early stage Coalbed methane exploration and development project.  The project is also known as the Vader prospect, which is located in Lewis County, Washington State.  The Company has leased approximately 3,000 acres for the purposes of this project.  Currently, the project is on hold awaiting the ongoing development in the Company's Louisiana CBM Project.

 

The Company holds a significant competitive position in CBM industry in this area. The company is developing a basin with only minimal activity by the competitors.  The Company has a 9,661-acre lease from a single mineral owner. 

 

The Company benefits from geologic and reservoir knowledge acquired by its operations as well as data packages included for nearby projects as other operators have exited the area, allowing the company to optimize future operations. 

 

Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Resources

 

CBM gas is a clean source of energy in the form of CH4 composite (methane natural gas). CBM is produced under unconventional means from coal seams. The Company’s management believes that interest in developing CBM projects is increasing in recent years by public and private sectors; accordingly CBM operations and businesses are expected to continue to grow in the future driven by CBM’s importance as an energy source and anticipated to increase in demand for natural gas as a growing source of energy.

 

In 2011, the Company (through EPCO) engaged Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“Netherland Sewell”), worldwide petroleum consultants and specialists in engineering, geology, geophysics and petrophysics, to assess the gross contingent and prospective resources for certain coal bed methane properties located in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana (the area assessed represented only a portion of the acreage in which EPCO holds an interest). The assessment made was prepared in accordance with the definitions and guidelines set forth in the 2007 Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).

 

3
 

 

Netherland Sewell assessed the contingent gas resources, which are those quantities of petroleum which are estimated to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations, but for which the applied project(s) are not yet considered mature enough for commercial development because of one or more contingencies. The contingent resources assessed are considered contingent upon increasing the individual gas production rates for existing wells to sufficiently demonstrate the commerciality of the project(s).

 

In addition to the Netherland Sewell analysis, the Company has also confirmed these assessments through analysis by Supreme Source Energy Services (SSES, a CBM engineering and drilling specialist firm, and Intertek Westport Technology Center, a consultant and laboratory analyst to the oil and gas exploration and production industry.

 

Strategic Partners and Suppliers

 

The Company believes that strategic partnerships will be a major component of the Company’s operating strategy and path to success. The Company plans to work with several strategic partners in important areas of its business and operations to promote its development activities in efforts to maintain the competitive edge in the CBM industry.

 

Customer Agreement

 

The main source of revenue for the Company (through EPCO) is the sale of CBM gas to Regency Gas Services, LLC (together with all of its affiliates, collectively, “Regency”) through various off-take agreements to sell all produced gas at prevailing market prices. Pursuant to the agreement, which includes Regency Intrastate Gas LP, a tap, valve and metering facility for the receipt of gas by Regency from EPCO was set up by the parties. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company receives revenues upon sales of gas each month.

 

EPCO Lease from International Paper Company

 

On May 1, 2008, EPCO entered into an exploration agreement with coal bed methane lease option east with International Paper Company (“International Paper Agreement”). Under the International Paper Agreement, EPCO has rights to explore for, and otherwise evaluate, deposits of coal containing coal bed methane in certain areas in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana comprising approximately 9,661 acres. Pursuant to the International Paper Agreement, EPCO exercised a lease option in 2008 allowing it to proceed with development and production projects in this area. Since then, EPCO has annually renewed such lease for its project development (the current period, as recently renewed, runs to April 30, 2015) for and in consideration of the negotiated sum of $19,322 and other good and valuable consideration by the Lessor. The current annual renewal extending the primary term of the coal bed methane lease until April 30, 2015 covers all of the 9,661 acres under the original lease. The Company is currently in process of annual renewal of the primary term of the Coal Bed Methane lease for an additional one year period extending until April 30, 2016 covering all of the 9,661 acres under the original lease. Further annual extensions will also require the Company to pay default penalty at a rate of $2 per acre.

 

Further, in June 2013, EPCO entered into a participation agreement with Prestige to establish a partnership in this project whereby each of EPCO and Prestige now hold a 50% interest in the project. The International Paper Agreement is being managed for International Paper Company by BRP, LLC, a joint venture owned by International Paper Company and Natural Resource Partners L.P., a publicly traded master limited partnership. Currently, the Company pays approximately $2.00 per acre for the lease each year in addition to the royalty payments upon sales of gas each month. The royalty is determined based on base royalty rate of 12.5% plus a supplemental royalty based on the gross sales price of the CBM.

 

Governmental Regulations

 

The Company holds various licenses and permits to drill, operate and conduct such exploration activities in Louisiana. Based on the nature of operations, the Company has only a set of established regulations for compliance.  

 

4
 

 

The Company does not need or require any other approval from government authorities or agencies in order to operate its regular business and operations. However, it is possible that any proposed expansion to the Company’s business and operations in the future would require government approvals.

 

Regulations relating to the Company primarily concern the requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Natural Resources, State of Louisiana, each of which have a separate approval and permit process which applies to operations that the Company conducts (or plans to conduct). The effect of regulations is that applications and permits may be required to conduct drilling. The additional step of approvals may have the result of causing or delay, changes or other restrictions in the ability of the Company to conduct its operations. At present, the Company’s management believes that it can meet the approval and permitting process to conduct the Company’s activities in all of its proposed plans of business operation, and the Company has budgeted for anticipated costs for this compliance process.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

Due to the secured off take agreement with Regency for the sale of all gas production of the Company, the Company has conducted limited advertising and marketing to date.

 

Employees and Organization

 

The Company presently (with its subsidiaries) has four employees in its payroll. The Company also regularly engages contractors and sub-contractors to directly work in the wells in Louisiana.

 

The employees receive health insurance benefits. The Company may offer additional fringe and welfare benefits in the future as the Company’s profits grow and/or the Company secures additional outside financing or its profits from operations allow expenditure on such items.

 

Stephen Spafford, an operational manager, has an employment agreement with EPCO, entered into as of May 2010. Pursuant to this agreement and further revisions, Mr. Spafford is currently entitled to a base salary of $210,000, plus eligibility for performance bonuses and other perquisites. The employment agreement with Mr. Spafford, which initially had a term of one year, has been renewed annually by mutual consent.

 

Samta Gupta, an accountant, has an employment agreement with EPCO, entered into as of June 2009. Pursuant to this agreement and further revisions, Ms. Gupta is currently entitled to a salary of $75,000, plus eligibility for certain perquisites.

 

Subsidiaries

 

Currently, the Company has two subsidiaries – EPCO and Prestige (each of which was acquired in the Acquisitions). The Company is the sole owner/member of each of EPCO and Prestige.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company holds limited intellectual property, and has not applied for any patents. The Company does hold one trademark issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for “E & Pco, LLC EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION.” The trademark was registered in March 2012 and covers Class 37 for oil and gas development and related activities.

Risk Factors


The Company has generated revenues, but limited profits, to date.

 

The Company has generated limited profits to date. The business model of the Company involves significant costs, resulting in a low margin on revenues. Coupling this fact with operating expenses incurred by the Company, the Company has only generated a small amount of total profits in the past. The Company is conducting a plan to expand its revenue and business to a scale of the enterprise would result in a higher gross margin and net margin.

 

No assurance of success in operations.

 

There is no assurance that the Company’s exploration or development activities will be successful. Moreover, there is no assurance that any of the Company’s operations will have any ability to realize profits.

 

Because the Company has a limited operating history and currently not producing consistent revenue from sale of gas, it may be difficult for any investor to assess the performance of the Company or to determine whether the Company will meet its projected business plan. The Company has limited financial results upon which an investor may judge its potential. The Company may in the future experience under-capitalization, shortages, setbacks and many of the problems, delays and expenses encountered by any early-stage business. An investor will be required to make an investment decision based solely on the Company management’s history, its projected operations in light of the risks, the limited operations and financial results of the Company to date, and any expenses and uncertainties that may be encountered by one engaging in the Company’s industry.

 

The Company operates in a sector generally regarded with high risk.

 

The Company operates in the broader oil and gas exploration and development sector, which is an industry typically characterized by high risk. The success of the Company may vary widely based on the ability to successfully extract natural gas. Material risks can arise on account of Drilling/Mechanical Complications, Permit timing, sensitive nature of the market of the gas prices and variation in Reservoir Thickness etc.

 

Ultimately, in spite of the Company’s best or reasonable efforts, the Company may have difficulty in generating revenues or remaining profitable.

 

The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own a majority of the Company’s common stock and, as a result, can exercise control over stockholder and corporate actions.

 

The officers and directors of the Company currently beneficially own approximately 58% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As such, they will be able to control most matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock or prevent stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their Shares.

 

The Company depends on its management team to manage its business effectively.

 

The Company's future success is dependent in large part upon its ability to understand and develop the business plan and to attract and retain highly skilled management, operational and executive personnel. The Company’s future success is highly dependent on its officers, to provide the necessary experience and background to execute the Company's business plan. The loss of any officer’s services could impede, particularly initially as the Company builds a record and reputation, its ability to develop its objectives, and as such would negatively impact the Company's possible overall development.

 

Government regulation could negatively impact the business.

 

The Company’s business segments may be subject to various government regulations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Due to the potential wide scope of the Company’s operations, the Company could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The Company may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. The Company’s operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry.

 

6
 

 

The Company does not maintain certain insurance, including errors and omissions and indemnification insurance.

 

The Company has limited capital and, therefore, does not currently have a policy of insurance against liabilities arising out of the negligence of its officers and directors and/or deficiencies in any of its business operations. Even assuming that the Company obtained insurance, there is no assurance that such insurance coverage would be adequate to satisfy any potential claims made against the Company, its officers and directors, or its business operations. Any such liability which might arise could be substantial and may exceed the assets of the Company. The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company provide for indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons, it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act, and is therefore, unenforceable.

 

Intellectual property and/or trade secret protection may be inadequate.

 

The Company has applied for minimal intellectual property and trade secret protection in aspects of its business. There can be no assurance that the Company can obtain effective protection against unauthorized duplication or the introduction of substantially similar solutions and services. Further, there is no guarantee that intellectual property currently in place adequately protects the Company or its business and operations.

 

Shares of common stock in the Company may be subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission

 

The shares of common stock held by current shareholders are considered “restricted securities” subject to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In general, securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 after being fully-paid and held for more than 12 months. Shares purchased in this Offering may be subject to Rule 144 resale restrictions, and accordingly, investors may be subject to such resale limitations.

 

Reliance upon Rule 144 to sell securities may be unavailable to the Company, due to its previous status as a shell company, and if Rule 144 is not available (pursuant to Rule 144(i)), certain shares of common stock may have no ability for sale or transfer until the Company is allowed to rely upon Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission

 

Rule 144 establishes specific criteria for determining whether a person is not engaged in a distribution of securities. Among other things, Rule 144 creates a safe harbor whereby a person satisfying the applicable conditions of the Rule 144 safe harbor is deemed not to be engaged in a distribution of the securities and therefore not an underwriter of the securities. If a purchaser of securities is unable to rely upon Rule 144 to sell securities (due to Rule 144(i)), then the securities must be registered or another exemption from registration must be found in order for the distribution of securities to be made. In the event that the securities are not registered or another exemption is not found, a purchaser of securities may not be able to sell or transfer the shares of common stock in the Company until such time as the Company is able rely upon Rule 144.

 

Pursuant to Rule 144(i), reliance upon Rule 144 is typically available for the resale of restricted or unrestricted securities that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company (or an issuer that has been at any time previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company) only if the following conditions are met:

 

·The issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
·The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
·The issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

 

7
 

 

·At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

Item 2.

Earnings Per Share

 

For the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, the company recorded losses of $1,304,757 and $2,278,844 , respectively. This resulted in Earnings Per Share of ($0.03) and ($0.06) for those respective year ends. The majority of these losses are attributable to operational expenses incurred by the subsidiaries of the Company.

 

Litigation and other Contingencies

 

Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. Woodgate Energy Corporation will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against Woodgate Energy Corporation will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

 

On April 16, 2009, Noram Drilling Company filed an original complaint against E & P Co. International, LLC and E & P Co., LLC in the 37th District Court of Louisiana, arguing E & P Co., LLC was liable for breach of contract by E & P Co., LLC under the theory of single enterprise liability. The Company argues no such single enterprise liability exists as the contract is to be construed under Texas law. On January 16, 2013, the 37th District Court in the Parish of Caldwell, Louisiana, the court granted E & P Co., LLC’s Motion for Summary Judgment, holding the Company not to be a party to the drilling contract. The Court further denied NorAm’s Motion for Summary Judgment for damages. On December 11, 2013, the Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit of the State of Louisiana affirmed the trial court’s finding.

 

At this time, the company is subject to no legal proceedings and the Company is unaware of any proceedings contemplated against it.

Management’s judgment regarding the project’s capitalization of exploration well costs is based upon its current inability to estimate reserves. Currently, the project requires additional investment and approximately six months production history at substantially higher rates before an appropriate valuation of proved reserves may be made. The Company anticipates the following costs necessary to achieve proven reserve status of which E & P Co., LLC will be responsible for its interest accordingly:

 

 

Description  Cost 
Addition of new saltwater disposal well   1,000,000 
      
Re-drill Well No. 1   1,000,000

Director Independence

 

Pursuant to Rule 4200 of The NASDAQ Stock Market one of the definitions of an independent director is a person other than an executive officer or employee of a company. The Company's board of directors has reviewed the materiality of any relationship that each of the directors has with the Company, either directly or indirectly. Based on this review, the board has one independent director – Mel Bernstein.

 

Committees and Terms

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has not established any committees. The Company assigned Mel Bernstein, an Independent Director, to conduct periodical internal audits on company’s activities and compliance to its operational policies and submit internal audit reports to the Board of Directors for review and action, if any.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result in liability of management to the Company. However, any attempt by shareholders to enforce a liability of management to the Company would most likely be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.

The Company implements operational business policies which govern business activities and compliance and code of ethics, in addition to Staff, Officers, and Board of Directors’ rights and responsibilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors of

Woodgate Energy Corporation

 

I have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Woodgate Energy Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income, members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014 and since the Company’s inception. Woodgate Energy Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.

 

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

 

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Woodgate Energy Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014 and since the Company’s inception are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses and will require additional capital to develop its business until the Company either (1) achieves a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flows from operations; or (2) obtains additional financing necessary to support its working capital requirements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1.SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of subsidiaries the Corporation controls.

 

Majority ownership is normally the indicator of control that is the basis on which subsidiaries are consolidated. However, certain factors may indicate that a majority-owned investment is not controlled and therefore should be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These factors occur where the minority shareholders are granted by law or by contract substantive participating rights. These include the right to approve operating policies, expense budgets, financing and investment plans, and management compensation and succession plans.

 

Evidence of loss in value that might indicate impairment of investments in companies accounted for on the equity method is assessed to determine if such evidence represents a loss in value of the Corporation’s investment that is other than temporary. Examples of key indicators include a history of operating losses, a negative earnings and cash flow outlook, significant downward revisions to oil and gas reserves, and the financial condition and prospects for the investee’s business segment or geographic region. If evidence of an other than temporary loss in fair value below carrying amount is determined, an impairment is recognized. In the absence of market prices for the investment, discounted cash flows are used to assess fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Corporation generally sells crude oil, natural gas and petroleum under short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. In some cases (e.g., natural gas), products may be sold under long-term agreements, with periodic price adjustments. Revenues are recognized when the products are delivered, which occurs when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, prices are fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Derivative Instruments. The Corporation makes no use of derivative instruments. The Corporation does not engage in speculative derivative activities or derivative trading activities, nor does it use derivatives with leveraged features.

 

Fair Value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation, depletion and amortization, based on cost less estimated salvage value of the asset, are primarily determined under either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets replaced are retired.

 

Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures during the construction phase of multiyear projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of acquiring the constructed assets. The project construction phase commences with the development of the detailed engineering design and ends when the constructed assets are ready for their intended use. Capitalized interest costs are included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets.

 

The Corporation uses the “successful efforts” method to account for its exploration and production activities. Under this method, costs are accumulated on a field-by-field basis with certain exploratory expenditures and exploratory dry holes being expensed as incurred. Costs of productive wells and development dry holes are capitalized and amortized on the unit-of-production method.

 

The Corporation carries as an asset exploratory well costs when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and where the Corporation is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. Exploratory well costs not meeting these criteria are charged to expense. Other exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred.

 

33
 

  

Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized using a unit-of-production method, computed on the basis of total proved oil and gas reserves.

 

Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs associated with productive depletable extractive properties are amortized using unit-of-production rates based on the amount of proved developed reserves of oil, gas and other minerals that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods.

 

Under the unit-of-production method, oil and gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank.

 

Production involves lifting the oil and gas to the surface and gathering, treating, field processing and field storage of the oil and gas. The production function normally terminates at the outlet valve on the lease or field production storage tank. Production costs are those incurred to operate and maintain the Corporation’s wells and related equipment and facilities and are expensed as incurred. They become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. These costs, sometimes referred to as lifting costs, include such items as labor costs to operate the wells and related equipment; repair and maintenance costs on the wells and equipment; materials, supplies and energy costs required to operate the wells and related equipment; and administrative expenses related to the production activity.

 

Proved oil and gas properties held and used by the Corporation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.

 

The Corporation estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. Cash flows used in impairment evaluations are developed using annually updated corporate plan investment evaluation assumptions for crude oil commodity prices, refining and chemical margins and foreign currency exchange rates. Annual volumes are based on field production profiles, which are also updated annually. Prices for natural gas and other products are based on corporate plan assumptions developed annually by major region and also for investment evaluation purposes. Cash flow estimates for impairment testing exclude derivative instruments.

 

Impairment analyses are generally based on proved reserves. Where probable reserves exist, an appropriately risk-adjusted amount of these reserves may be included in the impairment evaluation. An asset group would be impaired if the undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value.  Impairments are measured by the amount the carrying value exceeds fair value.

 

Significant unproved properties are assessed for impairment individually, and valuation allowances against the capitalized costs are recorded based on the estimated economic chance of success and the length of time that the Corporation expects to hold the properties. Properties that are not individually significant are aggregated by groups and amortized based on development risk and average holding period. The valuation allowances are reviewed at least annually.

 

Gains on sales of proved and unproved properties are only recognized when there is neither uncertainty about the recovery of costs applicable to any interest retained nor any substantial obligation for future performance by the Corporation.

 

Losses on properties sold are recognized when incurred or when the properties are held for sale and the fair value of the properties is less than the carrying value.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations and Environmental Liabilities. The Corporation incurs retirement obligations for certain assets. The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis, which is typically at the time the assets are installed. The costs associated with these liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value.

 

Liabilities for environmental costs are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are not reduced by possible recoveries from third parties and projected cash expenditures are not discounted.

 

Foreign Currency Translation. The Corporation selects the United States Dollar as the functional reporting currency for it’s based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates.

 

34
 

 

For all operations, gains or losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are included in income. 

 

NOTE 2.GOING CONCERN

 

The Company sustained operating losses since inception. It has losses at December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $1,304,757 and $2,278,844, respectively. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,191,084 since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from stockholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a growing concern.

 

Management has developed specific current and long-term plans to address its viability as a going concern as follows:

 

·Upon registration, the Company will attempt to raise funds through equity offerings. If successful, these funds will be used to provide working capital.
·In the longer term, the Company believes the cash flows from growth in its operations will provide resources for continued operations.

 

There can be no assurance the Company will have the ability to implement its business plan and to ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon three key factors:

 

·The Company’s ability to obtain adequate sources of equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operation in the near term.
·The ability of the Company to control costs and expand revenues.
·The ability of the Company to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.

36
 

 

Litigation and other Contingencies

 

Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. Woodgate Energy Corporation will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against Woodgate Energy Corporation will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

 

On April 16, 2009, Noram Drilling Company filed an original complaint against E & P Co. International, LLC and E & P Co., LLC in the 37th District Court of Louisiana, arguing E & P Co., LLC was liable for breach of contract by E & P Co., LLC under the theory of single enterprise liability. The Company argues no such single enterprise liability exists as the contract is to be construed under Texas law. On January 16, 2013, the 37th District Court in the Parish of Caldwell, Louisiana, the court granted E & P Co., LLC’s Motion for Summary Judgment, holding the Company not to be a party to the drilling contract. The Court further denied NorAm’s Motion for Summary Judgment for damages. On December 11, 2013, the Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit of the State of Louisiana affirmed the trial court’s finding.

 

At this time, the company is subject to no legal proceedings and the Company is unaware of any proceedings contemplated against it.

Management’s judgment regarding the project’s capitalization of exploration well costs is based upon its current inability to estimate reserves. Currently, the project requires additional investment and approximately six months production history at substantially higher rates before an appropriate valuation of proved reserves may be made. The Company anticipates the following costs necessary to achieve proven reserve status of which E & P Co., LLC will be responsible for its interest accordingly:
