PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

(a) Business Development

American Resource Technologies, Inc. (“American Resources or the Company”) was originally incorporated as Arts Antique Autos, Ltd., and changed its name to Golden Chief Resources, Inc. on August 5, 1981. On April 4, 2007 the Company changed its name from Golden Chief Resources, Inc. to American Resource Technologies, Inc.  During the early 1980s, the Company engaged in oil and gas operating, mining, real estate operations. During the mid-1980s, the Company lost its asset and revenue base due to economic conditions, and liquidated assets and ceased operations in 1986, and the Company operated briefly again in 1999 - 2002 after a change in control.  Accordingly, the Company remained dormant with no activity from 1987 - 1999 and again from 2002 until December 2004.  Since that date the Company has through the use of farm-outs received carried working interests in several wells and has been able to move non-producing properties into the producing category.

During its fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company was not involved in any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding and underwent no material reclassification, merger, or consolidation. We do not anticipate involvement or participation in any of the above proceedings.

(b) Business of Issuer

On a very small scale the Company has re-entered the oil and gas industry as a producer but the prospect of growth is limited by the availability of sufficient funds to pursue this on a more active basis. The Company currently has three employees.

(c) Reports to Security Holders

The Company does not intend to deliver an annual report to our security holders. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC, such as this Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports. We are an electronic filer under the SEC's EDGAR filing program. Accordingly, our filings are maintained by the SEC in a database at www.sec.gov and are available to all security holders.

Item 2. Description of Property

As of September 30, 2008, the assets consisted of the Lindley lease, the Ownbey and Troyer leases which produce oil, and the Noll lease which to date is not productive.

Oil and gas operations are and will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations and political developments.  The domestic production and sale of oil and gas are subject to federal regulation by the Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulation Commission.  Rates of production of oil and gas have for many years been subject to federal and state conservation laws and regulations.  In addition, oil and gas operations are subject to extensive federal and state regulations concerning exploration, development, production, transportation and pricing, and to interruption or termination by governmental authorities.

The term "working interest" as used herein means all or a fractional part of the ownership rights granted by a concession or lease. The working interest or a part thereof, pays all costs of operation and is entitled to the gross production less royalties retained by the grantor or lessor and less other royalties or non-operating interests created and assigned from the working interest.

There are currently 8 oil wells on the Lindley lease in which the Company owns a 100% working interest, and 17 oil wells on the Ownbey/Troyer Lease in which the Company owns a 25% working interest, 2 wells on the Linn Lease, and one oil well on the Noll Lease in which the Company owns a 100% working interest.

Market for Oil and Gas Production

The market for oil and gas production is regulated by both the state and Federal governments. The overall market is mature, and, with the exception of gas, all producers in a producing region will receive the same price. Purchasers or gatherers will typically purchase all crude oil offered for sale at posted field prices which are adjusted for quality difference from the “Benchmark”. Benchmark is the price of Saudi Arabian light crude oil employed as the standard on which OPEC price changes have been based. Oil pumped from wells is stored in tanks on site where the purchaser normally picks up the oil at the well site, but in some instances there may be deductions for transportation from the well-head to the sales point.  Either the Company, the operator, or the purchaser handles payment disbursements to both the working interest owners and the royalty interest owners.

During the year ended September 30, 2008, the following customer accounted for greater than 10% of our oil and gas sales:

Plains Marketing LP                                                                                                100%

American Resources has no other relationship with this customer. This concentration is a matter of convenience for us rather than necessity since these customers are active buyers in the areas where our wells are located, and prices between potential customers vary little or not at all as prices are tied to the going market rate for the commodity. If the Company lost its largest customer, management believes the Company could quickly replace the lost customer with other buyers paying comparable prices. Consequently, management does not believe the loss of one or more of American Resource’s major customers would have a material adverse effect on its business.

Oil and Gas Reserves

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the estimated proved oil reserves and estimated future net revenues of the Company and attributable to the Company's net revenue interests in the Lindley lease in Montgomery County, Kansas and the Ownbey lease located in Chautauqua County, Kansas.  Such estimated reserves are based upon an evaluation report prepared by William W. Jackson, Petroleum Engineer of Plano, Texas.  More information is located in Note 10 to the Financial Statements attached hereto.

PROVED OIL RESERVES

(Barrels)
 
Proved developed reserves:     
Beginning of year
5,320  
Revisions of previous estimates
(4,055 )
Purchases of reserves in place

End of year
9,320  

All of the Company’s reserves are located within the United States and consist of crude oil.  No estimates of reserves have been reported to or filed with any other Federal authority or agency during the year presented.

The reserve data herein represent only estimates that are based on subjective determinations. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change, as additional information becomes available. Further, estimates of gas reserves, of necessity, are projections based on engineering and economic data. There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data, and there can be no assurance that the proved reserves set forth herein will ultimately be produced.

Proved developed producing reserves are those expected to be recovered from currently producing zones under continuation of present operating methods.  Proved developed non-producing reserves consist of (i) reserves from wells which have been completed and tested but are not yet producing due to lack of market or minor completion problems which are expected to be corrected, and (ii) reserves currently behind the pipe in existing wells and which are expected to be productive due to both the well log characteristics and analogous production in the immediate vicinity of the well.  Proved undeveloped reserves are those reserves which may be expected either from existing wells that will require major expenditure to develop or from undrilled acreage adjacent to productive units, which are reasonably certain of production, when drilled.

Impairment

American Resources has adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and periodically evaluates, using both independent appraisals and management projections and projected undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of its long-lived assets and proved oil and gas properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Fair values used for impairment identification are based on undiscounted cash flow amounts determined by the reserve reports. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the Company did not identify any properties requiring impairment.  Unproved oil and gas properties are periodically assessed for impairment following the guidance provided in SFAS No. 19, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies”.  The Company also reviewed the Montgomery County Pipeline regarding a possible impairment since it has not yet been put into operation.  Based on management’s estimates of the start-up costs to bring the pipeline into operation and the fact that another competing pipeline has been constructed in the immediate area, the Company deemed that the pipeline was 100% impaired.

Oil and Gas Property and Equipment

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities, which are located in Kansas.  Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and costs to drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves and geological and geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties are expensed.

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on American Resource’s experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit of production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

On the sale or retirement of a complete or partial unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized.

On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations

American Resources accounts for the asset retirement obligations under the provisions of FASB No. 143, which requires the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the offset is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. To settle the liability, the obligation is paid, and to the extent there is a difference between the liability and the amount of cash paid, a gain or loss upon settlement is recognized. No accretion expense is included in “Depreciation, depletion, and amortization” in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2007 since the Company’s estimates reflect that the remaining salvage value of recoverable property exceeds the liability of the potential retirement obligations.  The Company estimates that due to the shallow depths of the wells involved the average “plugging” or abandonment cost per well will average just under $1,500 per well while the salvage value per well should average just over $2,300 per well.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

As of September 16, 2010 there were no legal proceedings to which we were a party, and no litigation is known to be pending.
 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders

On December 21, 2006 the Company held a special shareholders meeting at which the shareholders approved a resolution authorizing the Board of Directors to evaluate the necessity of a reverse stock split and also to implement a reverse stock split if they determine it to be necessary.  The shareholders also ratified the actions of the officers and directors since the last special shareholders meeting on December 17, 2001.


PART II

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

(a)    Market Information

Based on information available directly from the Pink Sheets data center, share prices have ranged from an annual low of $0.016 per share to a high of $0.28 per share.  Our shares have been trading sporadically, in the Pink Sheet market since late August of 2003.  Our shares are traded under the symbol ARUR.

As of September 30, 2008, certain options have been granted to investors as follows: 100,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share expiring in January of 2012; 100,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share expiring in January of 2012; 160,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.15625 which expired in April of 2008, and 281,250 shares with an exercise price of $0.08 per share expiring in May of 2009.

(b)    Holders

As of September 30, 2008, there were approximately 1,388 stockholders of record of our common stock. Additional shareholders hold stock in street names; the number of street name holders is not available to us.

(c)    Dividends

On November 1, 2007 the Company’s Board of Directors elected to declare a 10% stock dividend effective for shareholders of record as of November 30, 2007.  The Company has not declared or paid cash dividends in the past, and does not anticipate doing so in the immediate future. (See subsequent events)
 

Item 6.    Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

In fiscal year 2008 the Company participated in the drilling of 6 wells, 4 of which were located on the Lindley lease in Montgomery County, Kansas and two of which were on the Linn lease also located in Montgomery County, Kansas.  The two wells on the Linn lease are yet to be completed.

In fiscal year 2007 the Company participated in the drilling of several wells receiving a “carried working interest” in these wells on the Ownbey/Troyer lease in Chautauqua County, Kansas.  These wells began producing late in the fiscal year and the operator was continuing to adjust the production methods to maximize daily production at year-end.  The Company plans to participate in the additional drilling and re-working of several wells on our leases in southeast Kansas during the upcoming fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 the Company began operating the Lindley lease located in Montgomery County, Kansas.  While production has been minimal, the Company believes that additional development work on the lease can be advantageous.  The Company also entered into farmout agreements on leases located in Jefferson County, Kansas and Chautauqua County, Kansas.  At year-end a test well had been drilled on the Jefferson County lease (the Noll lease) and production casing has been set, and further completion procedures are planned.  The Noll lease is shown on the balance sheet and in the oil and gas producing section of this document as “unproved oil and gas properties”.

The Company continues to seek additional working capital which will allow the Company to retain larger interests in the properties.  Until we acquire this additional working capital, the Company will be forced to operate using the farmout method which results in a lower working and net revenue interest to the Company.

During the current fiscal year the Company continued to raise needed funds through the sale of common stock to existing shareholders.  During the year we sold 1,222,500 shares and received $95,000 in proceeds from these sales.  In order to continue operations the Company will need to continue to raise additional funds from common stock sales or other sources.

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, American Resources incurred recurring net losses of $459,680 and $401,267 in years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, has an accumulated deficit of $4,995,492 and has minimal working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to American Resource’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if American Resources is unable to continue as a going concern.

In October of 2007 the Company placed an additional $10,000 in long-term debt with a maturity of three years bearing interest at ten per cent per annum.  These notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s stock which collateralizes the notes.  The Company continues to seek these and other sources of financing.  As of September 30, 2007 the Company placed $50,000 in long-term debt under the same terms.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule  13a-15(e).  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,  and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

In connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of its report on the financial statements of American Resources for the year ended September 30, 2005, Malone & Bailey, PC identified deficiencies in our internal controls related to the failure to record the value of common stock issued for services disclosure controls relating to such transactions during the interim periods of 2005.  The adjustments to these accounts and the footnote disclosure deficiencies were detected in the audit process and have been appropriately recorded and disclosed in this Form 10-K.  We are in the process of improving our internal controls by training our new bookkeeper in an effort to remediate these deficiencies.  Additional effort is needed to fully remedy these deficiencies and we are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures.  Our management and directors will continue to work with our auditors and other outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Resource Technologies, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Resource Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Resource Technologies, Inc. at September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended 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 1 to the financial statements at September 30, 2008, the Company has negative working capital, and has incurred substantial operating losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $4,995,492.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Managements’ plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

American Resource Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

American Resource Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated as Arts Antique Autos, Ltd. in November 1976 in Kansas. During the early 1980's the Company engaged in oil and gas operating, mining, and real estate operations. During the mid 1980's, economic conditions caused the Company to lose its asset and revenue base. Management decided to discontinue any further business operations and completed the liquidation of the few remaining assets during 1986. The Company did not operate a line of business until the year ended September 30, 2000. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, new assets were contributed in an attempt to revive the Company. In October 1999, interests in oil and gas properties were contributed by third parties in exchange for newly issued stock. This resulted in a change in control of the Company. In July of 2002, the Company abandoned the oil assets by transferring the assets to one of the shareholders in exchange for the debt associated with the property. Since December of 2004, the Company has, through the use of farm-outs, received carried working interests in several wells and has been able to move non- producing properties into the producing category.  Management's plans include efforts to raise operating and development capital followed by further acquisition and development of oil and gas properties.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of preparing its Statement of Cash Flows.

PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on their estimated useful lives (5-10 years). The cost of asset additions and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repair items are charged to current operations. The original cost and accumulated depreciation of asset dispositions are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations in the period of disposition.
 
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Properties

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities, as set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 19 “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies.” Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed as incurred.
 
 
 
F-6

 

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are assessed annually for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment (See “Impairment” below). Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company’s experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the units-of-production method. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded depletion expense totaling $13,464 and in the year ended September 30, 2007 totaled $7,680.  All of the Company's reserves are located within the United States.

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.

On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property a gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. The recoverability of long-lived assets is evaluated at the operating unit level (Well) by an analysis of operating results and consideration of other significant events or changes in the business environment. If an operating unit has indications of impairment, such as current operating losses, the Company will evaluate whether impairment exists on the basis of undiscounted expected future cash flows from operations for the remaining amortization period. If impairment exists, the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is reduced to its estimated fair value, less any costs associated with any final settlement.  As of September 30, 2008, there was no impairment of the Company's long-lived assets.

IMPAIRMENT

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and periodically evaluates, using independent appraisals and projected undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of its long-lived assets and proved oil and gas properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Fair values used for impairment identification are based on discounted cash flow amounts determined by the reserve reports.  There were no impairment charges for the year ended September 30, 2007. Unproved oil and gas properties are periodically assessed for impairment following the guidance provided in SFAS No. 19, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies”.  The Company also reviewed the Montgomery County Pipeline regarding a possible impairment since it has not yet been put into operation.  Based on management’s estimates of the start-up costs to bring the pipeline into operation and the fact that an additional new pipeline has been constructed and is operational in the immediate area, the Company deemed that 100% impairment was required in the year ended September 30, 2008.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Differences arise principally from the difference in the way oil and gas assets are deducted for tax purposes.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Generally accepted accounting principles provide for the calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity on an "as if” converted basis. This is done by dividing net income available to common shareholders, as adjusted if necessary, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. The Company granted 200,000 of options during 2007 and 281,250 during 2008.  These options are anti-dilutive due to the net loss in each year.

CONCENTRATIONS

The Company’s operations are concentrated in the oil and gas industry. As such, revenues, costs, etc. are subject to changes due to national and international inventory levels, variations in consumption, and other factors. The Company currently owns interests in only two properties and deals with a single operator on each property. Should anything happen to the operator of either property, it is believed that a substitute operator would be available.  The Company’s producing oil and gas wells are all located in Chautauqua and Montgomery counties, Kansas.

During the year ended September 30, 2008, the following customer accounted for greater than 10% of our oil and gas sales:

Plains Marketing LP                                                                                                100%

The Company has no other relationship with this customer. This concentration is a matter of convenience for us rather than necessity since this customer is an active buyer in the areas where our wells are located, and prices between potential customers vary little or not at all as prices are tied to the going market rate for the commodity. If the Company lost its largest customer, management believes the Company could quickly replace the lost customer with other buyers paying comparable prices. Consequently, management does not believe the loss of the Company’s major customer would have a material adverse effect on its business.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

During the year ended September 30, 2008 there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).  Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.  The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The Company’s cash and accounts payable and advances from related parties approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.  The carrying value of the long-term notes payable approximate their fair market value since they bear market rates of interest.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS 123(R) which requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and grants to non employees based on their fair values.  The Company has not granted any options to employees in the past two fiscal years, but has issued options to certain unrelated parties. (See Note 5)

GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, American Resources incurred net losses of $459,680 and $401,267 in years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, has an accumulated deficit of $4,995,492 and has negative working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to American Resource’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock and debt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if American Resources is unable to continue as a going concern.
 

NOTE 2:  OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

Disclosures of unaudited information regarding reserves are presented at Note 10.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. Pursuant to this accounting standard, the Company did not recognize additional net liabilities at September 30, 2008, or at September 30, 2007, for asset retirement obligations related to the future costs of plugging and abandoning its oil and gas properties, the removal of equipment and facilities from lease acreage and returning such land to its original condition. The Company estimates the present value of the future cost to plug and abandon its oil and gas properties to be approximately $10,000 due to the shallow depth of the Company’s oil and gas wells.

No accretion expense is included in “Depreciation, depletion, and amortization” in the accompanying statement of operations for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Note 6.  INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for corporate income taxes in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109.  Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  In addition, future tax benefits, such as those from net operating loss carry forwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.  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 that includes the enactment date.

Since 1999, the Company has not filed any federal tax returns. When such filings are made, the Company may be subject to failure to file penalties. The Company periodically assesses the liabilities and contingencies in connection with this matter based upon the latest information available.  The Company estimates that the amount of penalties, if any, will not have a material effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position.  No provisions have been made in the financial statements for such penalties, if any.

A reconciliation of income tax (expense) benefit at the statutory federal rate of 34% to income tax (expense) benefit at the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at September 30, 2008 are summarized as follows:

At September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $3,999,000 of estimated net operating losses available to offset future taxable income.  These carry forwards expire between the years 2018 and 2028.  There are no deferred tax liabilities.
 

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sabine Operating Services, Inc. (Sabine) a company controlled by the Company’s president is the operator of record for all of its oil and gas properties located in Kansas.  Consequently all lease operating expense and all charges relating to the properties are originated by Sabine.  During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008 and 2007 the Company paid Sabine $26,660 and $76,653 respectively for lease operating expenses.  The Company is satisfied that Sabine’s charges are based on industry standards and are at most equivalent to those that would be charged by third-party unrelated operators.  The Company’s related parties are Sabine Operating Services, Inc., M. H. McIlvain, and Striker One Resources, Inc., owned by Hugh Fowler.  These parties’ transactions are shown on the balance sheet as “Advances from related parties.”  At September 30, 2008 the Company had a payable to Sabine of $31,799 and a payable to Striker One Resources, Inc. of $9,052.

On September 29, 2006 the Company entered into a farmout agreement with Sabine Operating Services, Inc., a company controlled by Fred Oden, the Company’s president.  This agreement allows Sabine to seek funds and investors to begin the development and exploitation of the Ownbey and Troyer leases located in Chautauqua County, Kansas.  The Company had sought investors for this project without success, but Sabine has provided the Company assurances that they will be able to provide investors and industry partners who can assist in the development of the leases.  The Company will receive a carried twenty-five per cent working interest in all except four wells to be drilled in which the Company will receive a twelve and one-half per cent carried working interest.  The Company believed that activity on the leases was extremely important and did not feel the necessity to receive any compensation for the farmout agreement other than the increased activity and development of the leases.

During the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued 580,845 shares of common stock as payment for payables to related parties as follows:

NOTE 10:  DISCLOSURES REGARDING OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

Oil and Gas Estimates and Producing Activity

The following table sets forth information as to the net proved and proved developed reserves as of September 30, 2008. “Proved reserves” are estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. “Proved developed reserves” are those reserves that are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. “Proved undeveloped reserves” are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on un-drilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for re-completion.

The following table also shows present value of the reserves as of September 30, 2008, (based on an annual discount rate of 10 percent) of the estimated future net revenues from the production and sales of the reserves. The future prices received on sales of production from the properties may be higher or lower than the prices used in calculating the estimates of future net revenues, and the operating costs and other costs relating to such production may also increase or decrease from existing levels.  An independent petroleum engineer provided the study of reserves and cash flows for the Lindley and Ownbey leases.  The previous year included both the independent petroleum engineer’s report on the Lindley and management’s estimates for the Ownbey.

Future net cash flows were computed using year-end prices and year-end quantities of proved reserves. Future price changes were not considered. Estimated future development and production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Estimated future income tax expense is calculated by applying year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for permanent differences and tax credits) to estimated future pretax net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved.

These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may vary substantially. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond the control of the producer. The reserve data set forth herein only represents estimates. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact way and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment and the existence of development plans. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify a revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are generally different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately produced. Further, the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves and the present value thereof are based upon certain assumptions, including geological success, prices, future production levels, operating costs, development costs and income taxes that may not prove to be correct. Predictions about prices and future production levels are subject to great uncertainty, and the meaningfulness of these estimates depends on the accuracy of the assumptions upon which they are based.

Reserve estimates are presented in the Supplementary Information Regarding Oil and Gas Production Activities accompanying the financial statements included herein. Reserve estimates for 2008 and 2007, were prepared by an independent engineering firm.  Original reserve estimates used for depletion purposes and for the Ownbey/Troyer lease (which are not listed above due to the short time they have been in production) were made using internal estimates by the Company.

Oil and Gas Reserves

The process of estimating quantities of oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring significant decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data. The data for a given field may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time.  Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances in available data for various fields make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the financial statement disclosures.

American Resource Technologies, Inc. uses the units-of-production method to depreciate and deplete the capitalized costs of our producing oil and gas properties. Changes in proved developed reserve quantities will cause corresponding changes in depletion expense in periods subsequent to the quantity revision.

The following supplemental oil and gas information is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69 “ Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities  (SFAS 69). The Company has properties in the United States.

Reserve Information

The following estimates of proved and proved developed reserve quantities and related standardized measure of discounted net cash flows are estimates only, and do not purport to reflect realizable values or fair market values of the Company’s reserves.  The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.  All of the Company’s reserves are located in the United States.

Proved reserves are estimated reserves of crude oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.  Proved developed reserves are those expected to be recovered through existing wells, equipment, and operating methods.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated) to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less the tax basis of the properties and available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.  The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of ten percent a year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.
