FIRST TITAN CORP.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2015
Note 1. General Organization and Business
First Titan Corp., a Florida corporation, was incorporated on September 16, 2010. The Company’s year-end is September 30. The Company formed to design and manufacture both panel and engineered/tooled custom vacuum formed instrument panels and wiring harnesses, required for the monitoring of any final product that utilizes a gas or diesel engine source. The Company is currently primarily an oil and gas exploration company.
On September 16, 2011, First Titan Corporation created First Titan Energy, LLC to invest in oil and gas properties, greenfield projects and in the development of innovative exploration and production technologies.
On September 16, 2011, we formed a new subsidiary company, First Titan Technical, LLC, to commence business operations designing and marketing automotive electronics custom-designed for heavy-duty vehicles.
Note 2. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $529,920 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $116,998. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had negative working capital of $517,872. Management does not anticipate having positive cash flow from operations in the near future.
These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company, which will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
- 9 -
The results of operations for the six month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, First Titan Energy, LLC and First Titan Technical, LLC from the date of their formations. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Credit Risk due to Certain Concentrations
We extend credit, primarily in the form of uncollateralized oil and gas sales through the operators of our working interests, to various companies in the oil and gas industry, which results in a concentration of credit risk. The concentration of credit risk may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions within our industry and may accordingly affect our overall credit risk. However, we believe that the risk of these unsecured receivables is mitigated by the nature of the companies to which we extend credit. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, two operators accounted for 83% and 17% of our oil and gas sales. Those operators account for 74% and 26% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015. We did not recognize any credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2015. We have not recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2015.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the financial statements, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $3,131 and $1,211 at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing, and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Depletion of capitalized oil and gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the units-of-production method based on proved reserves. The company recognized $11,718 and $30,630 of depletion during the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, less related deferred taxes, are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost ceiling, defined as the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves based on unescalated prices discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, if any, plus the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any, less related income taxes. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has oil and gas properties in the amount of $300,575, which are being excluded from amortization because they have not been evaluated to determine whether proved reserves are associated with those properties. Costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues as discussed above are charged to impairment expense. The Company applies the full cost ceiling test on a quarterly basis on the date of the latest balance sheet presented.
Based on management’s review, 100% of the unproved oil and gas properties balance as of March 31, 2015 are expected to be added to amortization during the year ending September 30, 2015. The table below sets forth the cost of unproved properties excluded from the amortization base as of March 31, 2015 and notes the year in which the associated costs were incurred:

Asset retirement costs are recognized when the asset is placed in service, and are included in the amortization base and amortized over proved reserves using the units of production method. Asset retirement costs are estimated by management using existing regulatory requirements and anticipated future inflation rates.
Revenue Recognition
Sales of crude oil are recognized when the delivery to the purchaser has occurred and title has been transferred. This occurs when oil has been delivered to a pipeline or a tank lifting has occurred. Crude oil is priced on the delivery date based upon prevailing prices published by purchasers with certain adjustments related to oil quality and physical location.
Common Stock
The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of March 31, 2015 or September 30, 2014.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. The basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no dilutive shares outstanding for any periods reported.
In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. The Company’s convertible debt is considered anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the six months and three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. As a result, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares for those periods. For the six months and three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, potentially issuable shares as a result of conversions of convertible notes payable have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. At March 31, 2015, the Company had 36,680,971 potentially issuable shares upon the conversion of convertible notes payable and interest.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
- 11 -
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
Level 3 - | Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2015. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms that is not significantly different from its stated value.
The following table presents assets that were measured and recognized at fair value as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 and the periods then ended on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:

Beneficial Conversion Feature
Beneficial conversion feature is a non-detachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The Company follows the guidance of ASC Subtopic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options to evaluate as to whether beneficial conversion feature exists. Pursuant to Section 470-20-30 an embedded beneficial conversion feature recognized separately under paragraph 470-20-25-5 shall be measured initially at its intrinsic value at the commitment date (see paragraphs 470-20-30-9 through 30-12) as the difference between the conversion price (see paragraph 470-20-30-5) and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. When the Company issues an debt or equity security that is convertible into common stock at a discount from the fair value of the common stock at the date the debt or equity security counterparty is legally committed to purchase such a security (Commitment Date), a beneficial conversion charge is measured and recorded on the Commitment Date for the difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the effective conversion price of the debt or equity security. If the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the debt or equity security, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the debt or equity security.
- 12 -
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. There are no known commitments or contingencies of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”).
This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize 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.
To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
| 1. | Identify the contract(s) with the customer |
|
|
|
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
|
|
|
| 3. | Determine the transaction price |
|
|
|
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
|
|
|
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies performance obligations |
The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the following:
| 1. | Contracts with customers – including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue, and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations) |
|
|
|
| 2. | Significant judgments and changes in judgments – determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations |
|
|
|
| 3. | Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract |
ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early application is not permitted.
In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”).
- 13 -
The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
| a. | Principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans) |
|
|
|
| b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
|
|
|
| c. | Management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plans, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). Additionally, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following:
| a. | Principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern |
|
|
|
| b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
|
|
|
| c. | Management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
- 14 -
The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet, effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
Subsequent events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Note 4. Investments in Available for Sale Securities
On October 11, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Biofuels Power Corp. (“Biofuels Power”) to acquire the common stock of Biofuels Power. Under the terms of the agreement, we will contribute introductions and consulting with respect to marketing and introductions for business. In addition, we will fund up to $100,000 in monthly contributions of $20,000. These contributions are solely at the discretion of the Company. In exchange for the contributions, we will receive common stock of Biofuels Power Corp. at two-thirds of the market price of the common stock.
During the year ended September 30, 2014, we contributed $35,000 to the joint venture through the purchase of Biofuel Power’s common stock. As a result, we acquired 194,067 shares of Biofuel Power common stock. The shares were valued at $55,309 on March 31, 2015 based on the closing market price of the stock on that date. The shares of common stock owned by the Company represent less than five percent of the outstanding shares of Biofuel Power.
Note 5. Related Party Transactions
On March 14, 2014, the Company entered into a participation and operating agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) with SoHo Resource Holdings I, LLC (“SoHo”) for the joint acquisition and development of oil and gas leases in Bell, Milam, Falls, Robertson, Limestone, Freestone, Leon, Madison and Brazos counties in Texas (the “Target Area”). Under the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Company will pay $300 per acre for its proportionate share of acreage in the Target Area (the “Target Acreage”). The Target Acreage, which will not have more than a 25% royalty burden, will be acquired by SoHo, who will manage all operations under the Participation Agreement. Under the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Company will be invoiced for its share of the Target Acreage cost and will have thirty days to pay its proportionate cost for the Target Acreage. The Company will pay 33.33% of the drilling and completion costs associated with the wells drilled and/or recompleted on the Target Acreage in order to receive its 25.00% working interest in the wells until payout and 18.75% working interest after well payout. Under the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Company must remit its proportionate share of drilling and completion costs within fifteen days of notice by SoHo.
G. Jonathan Piña, our former CEO, owns 50% of the membership interest in SoHo; however, he does not have daily management oversight of SoHo. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had made $100,000 in payments to SoHo.
Note 6. Advances
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, Vista View Ventures, Inc. advanced $119,810 to the Company for working capital. These advances are non-interest bearing and payable on demand. During the same period, the Company refinanced $167,810 of the advances into convertible notes payable with Vista View Ventures, Inc. As of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, advances in the amount of $0 and $48,000, respectively, are included in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized $2,465 of imputed interest expense on these advances.

All principal along with accrued interest is payable on the maturity date. The notes are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder. The holder of the notes cannot convert the notes into shares of common stock if that conversion would result in the holder owning more than 4.9% of the outstanding stock of the Company.
Advances Refinanced into Convertible Promissory Notes
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company has signed Convertible Promissory Notes that refinance non-interest bearing advances into convertible notes payable. The Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are payable along with accrued interest. The Convertible Promissory Note and unpaid accrued interest are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder.

The Company evaluated the terms of this note in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the notes and was deemed to be less than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the notes. Therefore, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $102,013 and $49,190 on December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The beneficial conversion feature was recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital and a discount to the Convertible Notes Payable. The discount to the Convertible Notes Payable is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest method.
The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50-40/55, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instrument as it applies to the note listed above and concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment because the present value of the cash flow under the terms of each of the new instruments was less than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original notes. No gain or loss on the modifications was required to be recognized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
First Titan Corp., a Florida corporation, was incorporated on September 16, 2010. The Company’s year-end is September 30. The Company formed to design and manufacture both panel and engineered/tooled custom vacuum formed instrument panels and wiring harnesses, required for the monitoring of any final product that utilizes a gas or diesel engine source. The Company is currently primarily an oil and gas exploration company.
On September 16, 2011, First Titan Corporation created First Titan Energy, LLC to invest in oil and gas properties, greenfield projects and in the development of innovative exploration and production technologies.

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our Consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the condensed Consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
For a full description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2014 on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Six months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2014.
Oil and Gas Sales
We earned net revenue of $22,397 during the six months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $54,069 during the comparable period of the previous year. The decrease in revenue is due decreased production due to oil wells that are temporarily out of service.

Depletion, depreciation & amortization
We incurred depletion expense of $11,718 during the six months ended March 31, 2015, and $30,630 for the comparable period of the previous year. The decrease in depletion is a lower depletion rate per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) as a result of an increased estimate of reserves as of September 30, 2014 as compared to September 30, 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expenses in the amount of $246,822 and $276,313 for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and ended 2014, respectively. The decrease was due to decreased professional fees in 2014.

Cash on hand is adequate to fund our operations for less than one month. We do not expect to achieve positive cash flow from operating activities in the near future. We will require additional cash in order to implement our business plan.

We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2015.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and 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 March 31, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 1. | As of March 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
|
|
|
| 2. | As of March 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who is the same person, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error 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.
Change in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
