WESTMONT RESOURCES INC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
November 30, 2010
|
|
1. Basis of Presentation
|
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Westmont Resources Inc. (“Westmont”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with Westmont’s audited 2010 annual financial statements and notes thereto contained in Westmont’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods present have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure required in Westmont’s fiscal 2010 Annual Report and financial statements have been omitted.
The consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2010 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 present the combined financial information of Westmont and Domestic Energy Corporation as if the companies were combined on June 1, 2009 in accordance with ASC 805-10. See Note 4 for details. (1)
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
In prior periods, Wesmont Resources, Inc. was in the development stage as defined by ASC 915. With commencement of Westmont's principal oil and gas operations, Westmont is no longer a development stage company.
Oil and Gas Operations.
The Company applies the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under the successful efforts method, exploration costs such as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploration overhead are charged against earnings as incurred. Acquisition costs and costs of drilling exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves can be attributed to the area as a result of drilling the well. If management determines that commercial quantities of hydrocarbons have not been discovered, capitalized costs associated with exploratory wells are charged to exploration expense. Acquisition costs of unproved leaseholds are assessed for impairment during the holding period and transferred to proved oil and gas properties to the extent associated with successful exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases are assessed individually for impairment, based on the Company’s current exploration plans, and a valuation.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of the cost of proved oil and gas properties are calculated using the unit-of-production method. The reserve base used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization is the sum of proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves for leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proved properties. With respect to lease and well equipment costs, which include development costs and successful exploration drilling costs, the reserve base includes only proved developed reserves. Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are taken into account.
Amortization rates are updated to reflect: 1) the addition of capital costs, 2) reserve revisions (upwards or downwards) and additions, 3) property acquisitions and/or property dispositions and 4) impairments.
The Company reviews its property and equipment in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360). ASC 360 requires the Company to evaluate property and equipment as an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the property and equipment below the carrying amount. If the carrying amount of property and equipment is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then the Company would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the discounted cash flow.
(1) This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests between entities under common control.
Page 6 of 19
Asset Retirement Obligation
ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410) requires that the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability, should be recorded as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company records asset retirement obligations to reflect the Company’s legal obligations related to future plugging and abandonment of its oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems. The Company estimates the expected cash flow associated with the obligation and discounts the amounts using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, the Company reassesses the obligation to determine whether a change in the estimated obligation is necessary. The Company evaluates whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation may have materially changed on an interim basis (quarterly), the Company will accordingly update its assessment. Additional retirement obligations increase the liability associated with new oil and natural gas wells as these obligations are incurred.
An asset retirement obligation of $93,365 was recorded in association with the wells acquired from Domestic Energy Corporation. See Note 4.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of oil and natural gas are recognized when the products are sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectibility of the revenue is reasonably assured. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for recording oil and gas revenues. The volumes sold may differ from the volumes to which the Company is entitled based on its interests in the properties. These differences create imbalances which are recognized as a liability only when the imbalance exceeds the estimate of remaining reserves. The Company had no significant imbalances as of November 30, 2010.
|
|
2.
|
Going Concern
|
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies Westmont will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had recurring net losses and has a working capital deficit as of November 30, 2010. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Westmont be unable to continue as a going concern.

|
Convertible Notes Payable
|
On November 21, 2008, Westmont acquired 100% of Avalon International Inc. (“Avalon”). In connection with the acquisition of Avalon International, Westmont assumed a convertible note payable previously issued by Avalon (the “Note”) totaling $387,896, bearing interest based on Libor plus 2% per annum. The Note holder has the option to convert the entire outstanding balance at any time to the equivalent of Twenty-Five Percent of the total authorized shares of Westmont provided the conversion would not cause Westmont to issue more shares than Westmont has authorized less the actual shares issued and obligations to issue shares under any outstanding agreement. Westmont evaluated the embedded conversion option to determine if it was within the scope of ASC 815-15 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Westmont concluded that the conversion option should be classified as equity under ASC 815-15. Westmont also evaluated the convertible note to determine if it was within the scope of ASC 470-20 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” and determined there was no intrinsic value associated with the conversion option.

|
Domestic Energy Corporation Working Interest Transfer
|
On May 15, 2010, Westmont signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Purchase of a 70% working interest in 92 oil & gas wells located in Scott & Morgan County Tennessee from Domestic Energy Corporation. Transfer of ownership in these wells from Domestic Energy to Westmont began in June 2010 and was completed during the quarter ended November 30, 2010. On December 29, 2010, Westmont finalized a purchase and sale agreement with Domestic Energy for the wells in question. The final purchase price is:
|
|
(a)
|
$200,000 in the form of a promissory note bearing interest at 8%, payable in 20 equal monthly installments. Payments will commence in March of 2011. The note is secured by an interest in the wells purchased.
|
|
|
(b)
|
All of Westmont’s interest in a gold mine and business identified as NorthStar Exploration, Inc which represents an interest in gold and other mineral deposits located in British Columbia, Canada.
|
Domestic Energy Corporation is 87% controlled by The Avalon Group Ltd. who is also the largest beneficial owner of Westmont Resources Inc. through their control and ownership in F&M Inc. As the transfer occurred between entities under common control, the working interests were transferred at Domestic Energy Corporation’s cost basis in the properties of $250,000. ASC 805-10 requires Westmont present the transaction as if the combination occurred as of the first day of the first period presented requiring prior comparative periods to be restated to reflect separate information as if were combined for all periods with intercompany amounts subject to elimination. The fair value of the gold mine interest in (b) above was $0 and accordingly the total purchase price of the working interests was $200,000. The difference between the purchase price and value of the properties transferred of $50,000 was recorded as a contribution to capital.
No depletion expense has been recognized on the transferred properties for the quarter ended November 30, 2010 as the current production was minimal in relation to total reserves.
An asset retirement obligation of $93,365 was recorded for the wells acquired above.

|
Common Stock
|
On September 3, 2010, the Company issued 583 shares of common stock valued at $10,504 to third parties for services rendered. The shares were fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of grant and therefore the entire amount was charged to expense during the three months ended November 30, 2010.
On September 3, 2010, the Company issued 1,000 shares of common stock valued at $605 for partial conversion of principal on the convertible note. See Note 3.
On October 7, 2010 the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock valued at $12,110 for partial conversion of principal on the convertible note. See Note 3.
On November 23, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors and majority shareholders voted to complete a 300:1 reverse stock-split effective as of December 30, 2010, of its issued and outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock. All share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented.

Restatement
|
This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-Q/A amends the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended November 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2011. The consolidated statement of operations and cash flows were restated to reflect an increase to general and administrative expenses and corresponding net loss as a result of previously unrecorded stock based compensation expense of $10,504. In addition, oil and gas revenues and lease operating expenses were reduced by $25,402 and $28,084, respectively for the three month period ended November 30, 2010 in the consolidated statement of operations due to these amounts being recorded incorrectly. The following table presents the adjustments to the consolidated balance sheet:

4. CORPORATE OVERVIEW
|
Westmont Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation formed in 2004, is an independent natural resource exploration and production company that plans to explore to, develop and produce natural resources to include minerals, natural gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids. In North America, our exploration and production interests are focused in mineral exploration in British Columbia Canada. Oil and natural gas exploration in the Appalachian Basin, Illinois Basin, Permian Basin, Williston Basin, and along the Gulf Coast in Eastern Texas.
The company is operational and engaged in the future acquisition, and planned development and production of oil and natural gas properties through the use of disruptive technology in an environmentally safe and cost effective manner.
As an independent junior oil and gas Company with ambitions to become an independent major in selected regions, the company’s strategy is two-fold. First, to grow rapidly through the acquisition or “roll-up” of undervalued oil & gas properties with proven reserves in heavy oil and oil shale which have only been partially developed. Second, through the use of proprietary disruptive technologies the company “wrings out” the untapped value of the target properties’ reserves. The company’s growth plans are in modular steps depending on the availability of capital.
Our Expansion strategy is modular and expandable based on funding. Our management team has extensive experience in the implementation of disruptive technology in various natural resources, mining and environmental remediation industries. We have brought together an exceptional team of financial, engineering, geological, geophysical, technical and operational expertise in successfully developing and operating properties in both our current and planned areas of operation. The management team is primarily focused on the acquisition and accumulation of natural resource assets, while building a strong operational management team to manage these assets to the highest effective and profitable degree possible.
Westmont Resources Inc is focused on the acquisition and development of natural resources properties, including oil and natural gas fields, with proven reserves. The company’s strategy is to shun the risks of traditional exploration of undeveloped basins. Rather, the company’s strategy is to more fully develop existing and proven fields. We seek to acquire and develop properties while economically attractive are not strategic to the oil and gas majors and which have not been fully developed by previous traditional operators. We will acquire properties that have produced and may still be producing but, while having significant proven reserves have been deemed not commercially productive. Through the use of proprietary disruptive technologies the company is in a position to “wring” out the untapped value of these proven reserves.

5. GROWTH STRATEGY
|
Westmont’s mission is to grow a profitable upstream natural resource company for the long-term benefit of our shareholders. Westmont’s long-term perspective has many dimensions, with the following core principles:
|
|
·
|
Own a balanced portfolio of core assets;
|
|
|
·
|
Maintain financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet; and
|
|
|
·
|
Optimize rates of return, earnings and cash flow.
|
Page 12 of 19
Throughout the cycles of our industries, these strategies have underpinned our commitment to deliver long-term production and reserve growth and achieve competitive investment rates of return for the benefit of our shareholders.
|
|
6. OPTIMIZE RETURNS ON INVESTED CAPITAL
|
We will focus on optimizing returns on invested capital through strict cost control and the creative application of technology.
Our management systems provide a uniform process of measuring success across Westmont. Our management systems incentivize high rate-of-return activities but allow for appropriate risk-taking to drive future growth. Results of operations and rates of return on invested capital are measured monthly, reviewed with management quarterly and utilized to determine annual performance awards. We monitor capital allocations, at least quarterly, through a disciplined and focused process that includes analyzing current economic conditions, expected rates of return on proposed development and exploration drilling targets, opportunities for tactical acquisitions or, occasionally, new core areas that could enhance our portfolio. We also use technology to optimize our rates of return by reducing risk, decreasing drilling time and costs, and maximizing recoveries from reservoirs.
|
|
7. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
|
We completed several initiatives during 2010 to strengthen our balance sheet and add liquidity. These transactions have provided us with greater financial flexibility to take advantage of our development opportunities.

8. PLAN OF OPERATION
|
Our plan of operation is to conduct re-working and re-entry program on the 212 wells associated with the Scott-Morgan 1 project; our Pennsylvania leasehold and our West Virginia leaseholds currently under contract for purchase in order to place these wells back into production and establish a positive cashflow at the earliest time frame. Our future plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this annual report is to complete the acquisition of the 212 wells and start the first phase of the exploration program on our project consisting of the repair of equipment and wells to place the wells back into a minimal production plan.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $325,000, which is approximately 10% of the amount to be raised by private placement and our cash on hand. If we experience a shortage of funds prior to funding we may utilize funds from our majority shareholder, who has formally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for offering costs, filing fees, professional fees, initial well and equipment repair. The Avalon Group Ltd has signed a formal commitment letter and arrangement to advance or loan funds to the company on a Libor +2% compounded interest rate to a maximum of $1,000,000. If we are successful in raising the funds from this offering, we plan to commence Phase I of the program on the project claim in the fall of 2010. We expect these phases to take 6 months to complete. Subject to financing, we anticipate commencing Phase II of our re-development program in spring of 2010.

9. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
As of November 30, 2010, we had cash on hand of $20; a LOC remaining balance of $512,491 and a working capital deficit of $(948,177). Westmont Resources Inc, has a current rolling line of credit for $1.0M with The Avalon Group Ltd. of Netanya, Israel, of which approximately $487,508 has been draw down on the LOC. Utilizing the remaining balance of the LOC, Westmont has sufficient working capital to pay for the anticipated costs of $325,000 for Phase I of our exploration program and meet the anticipated costs of operating our business for the next twelve months. Financial projections are based on the financial commitment arrangement made with the Avalon Group Ltd our largest beneficial shareholder. We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:

11. OIL AND GAS REVENUES AND LEASE OPERATING EXPENSES
|
In conjunction with our acquisition of oil and gas working interests from Domestic Energy Corporation described below, we entered into commercial production of our oil and gas properties. The increase in oil and gas sales of for the three and six months ended November 30, 2010 compared to the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 is due primarily to completion of the agreement with Domestic Energy and increased focus on the development of the operations.

On May 15, 2010, Westmont signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Purchase of a 70% working interest in 92 oil & gas wells located in Scott & Morgan County Tennessee from Domestic Energy Corporation. Transfer of ownership in these wells from Domestic Energy to Westmont began in June 2010 and was completed during the quarter ended November 30, 2010. On December 29, 2010, Westmont finalized a purchase and sale agreement in the amount of $200,000 with Domestic Energy for the wells in question.
No depletion expense has been recognized on the transferred properties for the quarter ended November 30, 2010 as the current production was minimal in relation to total reserves.
Lease operating expenses for the three and six months ended November 30, 2010 increased compared to the three and six months ended November 30, 2009 due primarily to completion of the agreement with Domestic Energy and increased focus on the development of the operations.
|
|
12. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
|
General and administrative expenses increased by $51,236 for the six months ended November 30, 2010 when compared with the same period for 2009. General and administrative expenses increased by $78,778 for the three months ended November 30, 2010 when compared with the same period for 2009.
The increases in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended November 30, 2010 are primarily a result of the acquisition of the 70% working interest in the 92 oil and natural gas wells located in Tennessee from Domestic Energy Corporation.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase significantly as we proceed with our exploration and operations program associated with this acquisition.

The increase in our working capital deficit at November 30, 2010 from our year ended May 31, 2010, and the increase in our cash used during the 1st and 2nd Quarters of our Fiscal year ending May 31, 2011, from the preceding fiscal year are primarily a result of the increases in general expenses, which are primarily a result of the proposed acquisition of the 70% working interest in the 92 oil and natural gas wells located in Tennessee from Domestic Energy Corporation and the acquisition of the Pennsylvania and West Virginia leaseholds totaling an additional 120 wells.
Since our inception, we have used our common stock and loan financing from our shareholders to raise money for our operations and for our property acquisitions. When necessary, we have also relied on advances from our largest beneficial shareholder the Avalon Group Ltd. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Page 15 of 19
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock and loans from the Avalon Group Ltd in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any of additional sales of our equity securities. However, there are no assurances that the Avalon Group Ltd will be willing to advance us additional funds in the future. There are no assurances that we will be able to arrange for other debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.

14. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
|
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable to a small reporting Company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
|
|
1. EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the purposes stated above due to material errors in the recording of the asset transfer and equity transactions. The consolidated financial statements in this report have been adjusted to include necessary changes related to these items. Management is working on plans to improve the processes that govern the recording of these payments and other related transactions. We believe these plans, when finalized, will enable us to avoid these types of errors in the future.

|
2. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
|
In connection with the evaluation of the Company's internal controls during the Company's last fiscal quarter covered by this report required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, the Company has determined that the addition of a new President and a new Chief Financial Officer have had a material affect, and will have an ongoing material affect, on the quality and effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
