EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
We are filing this Amendment on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amended Filing” or “Form 10-Q/A”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009 (the “Original Filing”) to amend and restate our financial statements and related disclosures for the period ended September 30, 2009 as discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying restated financial statements.
 
Background of the Restatement
 
On May 15, 2011, the Company concluded, based on the recommendation of management, that the previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and each of the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q (collectively, the “Affected Periods”) are no longer reliable because they failed to incorporate and account for various share issuance transactions.
 
An explanation of the errors and the impact on the Company’s financial statements is contained in Note 2 to the financial statements. The following is a brief summary of the accounting errors:
 
o  
The Company did not account for 29,512,142 shares granted for services and valued at $1,482,500 during the period ended September 30, 2009.  This expense been accounted for and reflected in each of the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2009.
 
o  
The Company did not account for 125,300 shares of common stock issued on August 21, 2009 for $6,000 cash.  The amended Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement have been updated to reflect this change at September 30, 2009.
 
o  
Note 6 – Common Stock in our Consolidated Financial Statements have been modified to include the issuance of the shares referenced above.

ASHERXINO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of AsherXino Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and  Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited  financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Registration Statement filed with the SEC on Form 10/A #2 on November 9, 2009. 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 presented 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 consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as reported on Form 10/A #2, have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AsherXino Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, ASHER Energy Transactions Services Limited, a Nigerian registered company.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance relating to the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification”  at ASC 105, as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The codification is effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The adoption of ASC 105 did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
Effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company implemented ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption of ASC 855 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009 up through November 20, 2009, the date the Company issued these financial statements.  During this period, the Company had no subsequent events.

Exploration Stage
During the first quarter of 2009 the Company engaged in serious discussions with owners of certain oil and gas assets, and preliminary discussions with various entities regarding potential debt and equity financing to support the exploitation of any assets to be acquired.   These discussions ultimately led to the Company’s acquisition of a 40% leasehold interest in and operatorship of an offshore oil exploration and development block in Nigeria, Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 2012, which acquisition was effective June 30, 2009.  Management has determined, therefore, that in early 2009 when such discussions began in earnest, the Company entered the exploration stage and, for this reason, the accompanying interim financial statements set forth cumulative financial information for the period elapsed since the inception of this new exploration stage, which we deem to have occurred on or about January 1, 2009.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2009 financial statement presentation.

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the President of the Company advanced the Company a total of $56,066.  The Company did not repay the President any amount during this period and the amount owed by the Company to the President at September 30, 2009 totaled $45,402.  On July 1, 2009, the President released the Company for $9,087 of amounts due to him.

Note 4 - Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we had a working capital deficit of $226,474 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 11,180,806 at September 30, 2009, which raise s substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management plans to raise funds through the issuance of debt or the sale of common stock.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt or the sale of common stock.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.  

Note 5 - Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we sold the remaining 44,600 shares of Hythiam Inc. (“Hythiam”) common stock for total proceeds of $15,436. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized unrealized losses of $0 and $55,848 respectively. In addition, we recognized realized losses of $1,958 and $52,360 with net proceeds of $15,436 and $137,507, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, we did not own any shares of Hythiam’s common stock.  Management did not intend to hold the shares of Hythiam common stock for investment purposes, and accordingly, classified the shares as “trading securities” for all periods presented.  Because of such classification, unrealized gains and losses were recorded in operations.

Note  6 - Common Stock
On March 27, 2009, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 300,000,000, $0.01 par value, and to eliminate the Company’s authorized preferred stock.  In addition, on June 19, 2009, the Company authorized a 1.5 for 1 stock split, which has been retroactively applied for all periods presented.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we issued 34,773,250 shares of split adjusted common stock for services for total expense of $1,495,147 . The common stock was valued using the liquidation value of net assets immediately prior to the grant date.

In August 2009, we issued 125,300 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $6,000.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we issued 105,000,000 shares of split adjusted common stock for the acquisition of oil and gas assets as discussed in Note 7 – Change of Control.

Note  7 - Change of Control
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 2009, in consideration for the issuance of 105,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (87.5% of the Company’s post-transaction total outstanding common stock) to Bayo Odunuga, Patrick Okorodudu and Asher MHG Foundation, the Company acquired from such individuals a 40% leasehold interest in and operatorship of Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 2012 through an assignment of all of such individuals’ right, title and interest in and to a Memorandum of Agreement dated March 14, 2009 (“MOA”), a Farm In Agreement dated March 14, 2009 (“Farm In Agreement”) and a proposed Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”).  This transaction was accounted for as an asset purchase.  In connection with such transaction, Bayo Odunuga became Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company and Patrick Okorodudu became Secretary, General Counsel and director of the Company.  The value of the oil and gas property was $53,750 on the date of acquisition, which was the cumulative cost incurred by Messrs. Odunuga and Okorodudu in acquiring the asset.

Note  8 - Commitments and Contingencies
 
Unasserted Claim
In November 2001, the Company and Alternative Products, Inc. (“ATP”) entered into preliminary discussions regarding a purchase by the Company of all of the outstanding shares of ATP.  No agreement was ever finalized and the Company received a letter of notification from ATP terminating any agreement between them.  Management believes that no such agreement ever existed. From time to time thereafter, John Bancroft (either individually or as President of ATP) has claimed that the Company owes either him or ATP various amounts including Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in Class B Preferred Stock, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in Common Stock and payments of Three Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Dollars ($356,000) under purported employment and employment related agreements.  Management believes that no such agreements exist or ever existed and that the claims by Bancroft and/or ATP are wholly without merit.  Counsel has advised management, in the event litigation should be brought on this claim, that the Company would have a number of meritorious defenses, including but not limited to statute of limitations, the absence of any agreement binding upon the Company and the aforementioned termination of any such agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Since the Company has had no business operations from 2003 until its recent acquisition of certain Nigerian oil related assets, i.e. a 40% leasehold interest in and operatorship of Nigerian Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 2012 (“OPL 2012”), and therefore no income from operations, this discussion involves only the plan of operation.

The Company’s Board of Directors has recently taken the decision to enter into the business of owning and operating oil and gas assets by acquiring certain oil related assets.  The Company’s immediate objective is to create value from the production and exploration opportunities in its significant working interest in OPL 2012 by embarking on a work program that will include drilling operations and the hiring of about fifty to one hundred full-time employees.  The Company intends to finance its operations through a combination of debt and equity financing.  In addition, management may decide to farm-out or sell some of the Company’s interest in OPL 2012 to finance the development of the block.  The Company also intends to acquire additional leaseholds in and operatorships of offshore blocks in Nigeria and Ghana.  In the long term, the Company aims to acquire and exploit the prolific oil and gas deposits across the Gulf of Guinea and worldwide.

The Company currently has few capital resources and is unlikely to generate significant revenues for some time.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  See Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, “Financial Statements”.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely that the Company could continue as a going concern.  However, management has been in discussions with several financial institutions (i.e. banks, private equity funds, sovereign funds, energy companies and other corporate entities) to procure funding for the development of OPL 2012 through the issuance of debt and/or equity.  Based on these discussions management anticipates obtaining sufficient funding to perform the Company’s obligations related to OPL 2012 over the next year.

Management is in the process of concluding financing arrangements with financial institutions in Nigeria who are finalizing their due diligence and economic modeling for the project.  Management anticipates raising sufficient funds to pay the $12,500,000 signature bonus to the Nigerian government and the $10,000,000 farm-in fee to the Company’s local partner in the near future.

Upon the payment of the signature bonus, the development of OPL 2012 will take place in two phases over a three year period.  In Phase 1 (Year 1), the Company will pursue one of two scenarios.  Scenario 1 involves working jointly with Eni Agip Nigeria Limited (“Eni/Agip”) to develop OPL 2012 through the unitization process, which enables owners of two straddled oil fields to proceed with the development and operation of the field as a single unit, to ensure maximum hydrocarbons recovery with no duplication of costs.  Scenario 2 involves pursuing an international joint venture partnership with Superior Well Drilling LLC and its local Nigerian partner Omega Maritime & Energy Limited (collectively, “Superior”) to drill and complete one vertical well at 4,000 feet.  Superior will provide rigs and drill the well, and Superior will be paid from proceeds of hydrocarbons recovered.  Engineering and environmental work will be done prior to drilling and completing the vertical well.  Such engineering and environmental work will include the casing and design of the well.
 
In either Scenario 1 or 2, revenue sharing between the Company and Eni/Agip or Superior will be negotiated and agreed by the parties.  Also, neither scenario includes provision for a 3D seismic program, as the Company now believes that, based on technical evaluation of OPL 2012, there is a chance that a 3D seismic survey may not need to be performed given there exists vintage 2D seismic data on OPL 2012.
 
Scenario 1 is the Company’s preferred option because it is more cost effective.  Production facilities are available in Eni/Agip’s neighboring OML 116, and only require that the lateral well from OML 116 be extended into OPL 2012.  Under Scenario 1, the Company may be able to avoid any further engineering work since all technical data relating to OPL 2012 will be provided from ongoing development and production in OML 116.  However, the Company has not yet obtained Eni/Agip’s agreement to jointly develop OPL 2012.  In the event the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining Eni/Agip’s timely agreement, the Company will proceed with Scenario 2.  The Company has entered into an international Joint Venture Agreement (“JV Agreement”) with Superior pursuant to which Superior will execute drilling and operations for oil drilling projects secured by the Company (such as Scenario 2) and be reimbursed for providing such services by the joint venture from crude oil sales.  (See tables below)

The project activities listed above are scheduled to run consecutively.  Upon the payment of the signature bonus, the Company will submit its work program to the Nigerian government agencies responsible for oil exploration and production, Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), who will each have to review the work program and approve it before any exploration or production can commence.  Once the government agencies approve the work program, management will decide on the appropriate scenario to pursue for Phase 1.  Day 1, the official start date of the OPL 2012 development project, will occur as soon as management determines which scenario it will follow.

In Phase 2 (Year 2 and 3), two or three additional wells will be drilled at an estimated total cost of $205,000,000.  (See table below)

Should the Company be unable to fund any of the development costs related to OPL 2012, its local partner Sigmund Oilfield Limited would notify the Company of its non-performance and formally request that the Company perform its agreed obligations.  The Company would be given the opportunity to rectify or cure such fundamental non-performance issues if they are within the Company’s control.  In case of further default, Sigmund Oilfield Limited would have the option to seek to terminate its agreements with the Company and potentially terminate the Company’s interest in OPL 2012.  However, the OPL 2012 agreements were not drafted in such a manner that allows for immediate repercussions or sanctions imposed on the Company in the event the Company is unable to fund any of the development costs.  Rather, the agreements provide for a dispute resolution process and contemplate discussion and negotiation among the parties in the event of the Company’s inability to perform.  For example, although the $12,500,000 signature bonus and $10,000,000 farm-in fee were each deemed payable on May 15, 2009, the Company has suffered no negative consequences from being delinquent in paying these amounts since it has regularly updated Sigmund Oilfield Limited on the status of when payments would be made and Sigmund Oilfield Limited has granted informal extensions of time for the Company to make such payments.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of certain members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).  In light of the material weaknesses discussed below, which have not been fully remediated as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer concluded, after the evaluation described above, that our disclosure controls were not effective. As a result of this conclusion, the consolidated financial statements for the period covered by this report were prepared with particular attention to the material weaknesses previously disclosed. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. Material weaknesses in the control environment include:
 
the non-existence of a code of ethics,

in adequate accounting procedures,

a lack of timely reconciliation of cash accounts,

a lack of qualified accounting staff involved in our accounting and financial reporting,

inadequate controls over purchasing and accounts payable, and

inadequate segregation of duties.
 
 
14

 

Our accounting staff is small and lacks experience with GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.  We intend to implement a system of internal controls and remediate the deficiencies in our system of internal controls as we secure funding and grow.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
In connection with our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures that occurred during our last fiscal quarter, we identified no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
