NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Tero Oilfield Services Ltd, Inc. (“the Company”, “Tero”) was incorporated in the State of Alberta on January 31, 1997.

Tero Oilfield Services Ltd., an energy services company, provides specialized services to upstream oil and natural gas companies operating in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Through the exploration and production of oil and gas a significant regular stream of waste is generated by the oil and gas producers. The oil and gas producers are required to dispose of this waste in an environmentally approved manner as stipulated by Alberta Energy, Alberta’s energy regulator.

The Company assists upstream oil and natural gas companies with the disposal fluids and solids and/or treatment of by-products. To dispose of liquid wastes, oil and gas producers are required to inject them into approved permitted injection wells. An injection well disposes of the waste fluids deep into the ground into porous rock formations outside of known oil and gas production zones and well as underground aquifers. The company owns and operates a full Class 1B liquid and sold oilfield waste handling facility in Wardlow, Alberta, Canada. This class of well is approved for the disposal of produced water, specific common oilfield waste streams and waste streams meeting specific criteria.

On August 20, 2012, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (Lithium) pursuant to which Tero agreed to sell to 75% of its issued and outstanding common shares of Lithium in exchange for an aggregate of $1,500,000 Canadian.

On March 1, 2014, Alta Disposal Ltd. (Alta), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lithium, completed a share purchase agreement with Tero and Garry Hofmann, the sole shareholder of Tero. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Hofmann agreed to sell and Lithium agreed to purchase 50% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tero in exchange for an aggregate of $1,000,000 Canadian.

Lithium has been granted an option to acquire an additional 25% of the shares in Tero for $500,000 Canadian by February 28, 2015.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

These interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or for any future period. All references to September 30, 2014 and 2013 in these footnotes are unaudited.

The condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but do not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

Short-Term Investments

The Company invests excess cash in GST accounts with maturities typically at one year.

September 30, 2014 and 2013

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable arise in the normal course of business and are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the uncollectible trade accounts receivable based on historical collection experience and management’s evaluation of the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable. Contractual terms and payment history determine when receivables are delinquent. The Company evaluated its accounts receivable at September 30, 2014 and did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts because of the assurance of collectability of those receivables. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2013 was $1,601.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. There were no impairment losses taken for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Revenue Recognition

It is the Company’s policy that revenue from product sales or services will be recognized in accordance with ASC 605“Revenue Recognition”. Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product was not delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

The Company generates revenue by handling waste generated by oil and gas producers in the area. Specifically, the waste streams handled by the Company can be classified into the following categories:

  • Fluids Disposal -Fluid disposal consists of the disposal of rig tank and workover water, produced water and frac water.
  • Solids Disposal-Solid waste is produced in drilling, production, well servicing, and vessel cleaning. It is generally brought to waste disposal facilities mixed with liquids is then separated, tested, dewatered, then sent to a landfill for disposal.
  • Oil Skimming-Through a process of heating and the use of various chemicals, the Company processes oilfield waste to separate to solids, water and oil. The oil is stored on site temporarily until sufficient volumes are accumulated to be shipped through pipeline.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The liability for the fair value of environmental and site restoration obligations are recorded when the obligations are incurred and the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The obligations are normally incurred at the time the related assets are brought into production. The fair value of the obligation is based on the estimated cash flows required to settle the obligations discounted using an estimate of the Company's financing rate. The fair value of the obligations is recorded as a liability with the same amount recorded as an increase in capitalized costs. The amounts included in capitalized costs are amortized using an amortization rate of 10%. The liability is adjusted for accretion expense representing the increase in the fair value of the obligations due to the passage of time.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following:

The accounts of the Company are maintained using the local currency (Canadian Dollar) as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year or the reporting period. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) gain. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
