Notes to the Financial Statements

September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2012 and for all periods presented have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2011 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has had no revenues and has generated losses from operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and to develop a consistent source of revenues.  Management’s plans include of investing in and developing all types of businesses related to the entertainment industry.

 

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the President of the Company advanced money to the Company in order to pay for expenses and continue the reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General

 

Sears Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) is a development stage company that was incorporated on October 18, 2005, in the state of Nevada. The Company was organized for the purpose of exploiting the opportunities that exists in the oil and gas sector. The Company has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming incorporated, Sears Oil & Gas has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations and the Company owns no subsidiaries.  The fiscal year end is December 31st.  The Company has not had revenues from operations since its inception and/or any interim period in the current fiscal year.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Three months ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three months ended September 30, 2011

 

For both the three months-ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no revenue. For the three months-ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $4,505 of selling, general and administrative expenses compared to $65 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For both the three months-ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company also incurred $862 of interest expense on a note payable.

 

As a result of the foregoing the Company incurred a loss of $5,367 for the three months-ended September 30, 2012 compared to a loss of $927 for the corresponding period of the prior year.

 

Nine months ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2011

 

For both the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $5,337 of selling, general and administrative expenses compared to $495 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company also incurred $2,587 of interest expense on a note payable.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a loss of $7,924 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a loss of $3,082 for the corresponding period of the prior year.

 

Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $310 of cash and negative working capital of $31,341. This compares with cash of $102 and negative working capital of $23,417 as of December 31, 2011.

 

For the nine months-ended September 30, 2012, operating activities used $5,637 consisting of the loss of $7,924 which was partially offset by changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,287. This compares with $95 used in operations for the corresponding period of the prior year consisting of the loss of $3,082 which was offset by changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,987.

 

There were no investing activities during either the nine months-ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

 

For the nine months-ended September 30, 2012, financing activities provided $5,845 to the Company as advances from a related party. There were no financing activities for the nine months-ended September 30, 2011.

 

As a result of the foregoing, there was a net increase in cash of $208 for the nine months-ended September 30, 2012 from the cash on hand as of December 31, 2011.

4

 

 

From the date of inception (October 18th, 2005) to September 30, 2012 the Company has recorded a net loss of $133,341 most of which were expenses relating to the initial development of the Company, filing its Registration Statement on Form S-1, and expenses relating to maintaining Reporting Company status with the SEC.  In order to survive as a going concern, the Company will require additional capital investments or borrowed funds to meet cash flow projections and carry forward our business objectives. There can be no guarantee or assurance that we can raise adequate capital from outside sources to fund the proposed business. Failure to secure additional financing would result in business failure and a complete loss of any investment made into the Company.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 on July 21, 2008, which was deemed effective on July 25, 2008.  The Company received no funds from this offering. The registration was done for the benefit of the selling shareholders and we continue to fund the expenses associated with maintaining a reporting company status.

 

To date there is no public market for the Company’s common stock. There can be no guarantee or assurance that a public market will ever exist for the common stock. Failure to create a market for the Company’s common stock would result in business failure and a complete loss of any investment made into the Company.

 

Employees

 

There were no employees of the Company, excluding the current President and Director, G. Reed Petersen and the Company does not anticipate hiring any additional employees within the next twelve months.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not Applicable

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

As of September 30, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4)

5

 

ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and communicated the matters to our management.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in the Company's determination to its financial statements for the future years.

 

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company:

  

i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) Preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the future.

 

We will continue to monitor and  evaluate  the  effectiveness  of our  internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing  basis and are  committed  to taking  further  action  and  implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

Changes in Internal Controls.

 

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
