CENTENARY INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2011 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2010 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to merge with or acquire an existing operating company.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its merger and/or acquisition strategy, and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company owes notes payable to shareholders of $211,533 and $190,925 plus accrued interest of $20,391 and $16,266 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The notes payable accrue interest at the 360-day LIBOR plus 2% per annum (calculated on the date of issuance), and are due one year from the date of issuance. On December 20, 2009, each of the outstanding notes was extended for a period of one year, under the original terms. As of December 31, 2010, each of these notes was extended through the same date in 2011. Should the Company default on the notes, they are subject to a penalty such that they would accrue interest at 150% of the original rate, commencing on the due date.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On September 22, 2009, the Company executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Clear S.R.L. of Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina (“Clear SRL”), Oil m&s S.A. (“Oil m&s”) and Petrolera Cerro Negro S.A. (“PCN”) pursuant to which the Company shall acquire from Clear SRL ninety-nine and 96/100 percent (99.96%) of the issued and outstanding shares of PCN which shall become a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. PCN owns an Oil & Gas Area Concession of “Cerro Negro,” Chubut Province, Argentina. In payment for the PCN shares, the Company will issue to Clear SRL a total of 2,129,870 new shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, Oil m&s agreed to loan to PCN sufficient funds to comply with a Development Program which provides for the drilling of 11 wells in the concession over a specified period of time. The loan to PCN will provide that Oil m&s may, at its option, elect to convert the balance of the loan to 2,129,870 shares of the Company’s common stock following completion of the eleven new wells.
The Company’s acquisition of PCN will be a related-party transaction since Clear SRL is owned sixty percent (60%) by Mr. Cristobal Manual Lopez. The Company is owned forty-eight and 37/100 percent (48.37%) directly by Mr. Lopez and forty and 40/100 percent (40.40%) by Oil m&s. Mr. Lopez owns forty percent (40%) of Oil m&s and serves as its President and director. Mr. Carlos Fabian DeSousa, the President and sole director of the Company, is a thirty percent (30%) owner of Oil m&s and serves as its Vice President and director.
The acquisition is subject to the signing of a definitive acquisition agreement by the parties. Closing of the acquisition of PCN is also subject to a number of conditions and legal regulations, including obtaining certain governmental approvals in Argentina. The Company is in the process of forming a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation in Argentina that will likely be used to facilitate the proposed acquisition. The Company hopes to be able to consummate the acquisition by December 31, 2011.
NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no items to disclose.

Item 2.
|
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
Centenary International Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company" or “Centenary”), was incorporated on June 10, 1997. From its inception through the 1999 fiscal year, the Company was considered an exporter of food stuffs and commodities from Argentina to the world. However, the Company abandoned this line of business in 1999, before any revenues were earned. The Company re-entered the development stage on January 1, 2000, and has remained an inactive development stage company since that date. The Company’s ongoing business expenses are funded primarily through shareholder loans.
The Company’s current focus is to seek out and consummate a merger with, or an acquisition of, an existing operating entity. Management investigates possible merger candidates and acquisition opportunities from time to time. However, management can provide no assurance that we will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, business opportunity or property that will be of material value to us.
It is anticipated that we will require only nominal capital to maintain our corporate viability until such time as we are able to consummate an acquisition or merger with an operating business. However, unless we are able to facilitate an acquisition of or merger with an operating business or are able to obtain significant outside financing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Except as disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Centenary on September 25, 2009, Centenary has not yet entered into any agreement, nor do we have any commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged in any transaction, as of the date of this filing. As of the date hereof, we have not made any arrangements or definitive agreements to use outside advisors or consultants.
Until such time as we acquire another business or company, we do not intend to use any employees with the possible exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors or consultants will likely be used only if they can be obtained for minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is confident that it will be able to operate in this manner and to continue its search for business opportunities during the next twelve months.
As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Centenary on September 25, 2009, Centenary announced that on September 22, 2009, it executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Clear S.R.L. of Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina (“Clear SRL”), Oil m&s S.A. (“Oil m&s”) and Petrolera Cerro Negro S.A. (“PCN”) pursuant to which Centenary shall acquire from Clear SRL ninety-nine and 96/100 percent (99.96%) of the issued and outstanding shares of PCN which shall become a majority-owned subsidiary of Centenary. PCN owns the Oil & Gas Area Concession of “Cerro Negro,” Chubut Province, Argentina, valued at approximately US$1,064,935. In payment for the PCN shares, Centenary will issue to Clear SRL a total of 2,129,870 new shares of Centenary common stock. In addition, Oil will loan to PCN sufficient funds to comply with a Development Program which provides for the drilling of 11 wells in the concession over a specified period of time. The loan to PCN will provide that Oil m&s may, at its option, elect to convert the balance of the loan to 2,129,870 shares of Centenary common stock following completion of the eleven new wells.
The acquisition of PCN by Centenary will be a related party transaction since Clear SRL is owned sixty percent (60%) by Mr. Cristobal Manual Lopez. Centenary is owned forty-eight and 37/100 percent (48.37%) directly by Mr. Lopez and forty and 40/100 percent (40.40%) by Oil m&s. Mr. Lopez owns forty percent (40%) of Oil m&s and serves as its President and director. Mr. Carlos Fabian DeSousa, the President and sole director of Centenary, is a thirty percent (30%) owner of Oil m&s and serves as its Vice President and director.
The acquisition is subject to the signing of a definitive acquisition agreement by the parties. Closing of the acquisition of PCN is also subject to a number of conditions and legal regulations, including obtaining certain governmental approvals in Argentina. The Company hopes to be able to consummate the acquisition by December 31, 2011.

The Cerro Negro concession is a 186 km2 area in Chubut Province in the South of Argentina, with 22 out of 32 oil wells in production at present. Through March 31, 2011 it had an accumulated production of 1,155,000 barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”).
The concession finishes on 12/31/2025 and until this time the proved reserves of oil reach 6,700,000 boe and unproved reserves reach 7,300,000 boe.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenues and Other Income
We had no revenues in either of the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. We had no other income for either of the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. If we are able to successfully complete the proposed acquisition of PCN during the year ending December 31, 2011, we should begin to generate revenues in the year ending December 31, 2011.
Expenses
We had general and administrative expenses of $7,007 in the three month period ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $14,247 from the $21,254 of general and administrative expenses incurred in the three month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in general and administrative expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in professional fees in the later period. We incurred interest expense of $2,100 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $369 from the interest expense of $1,731 incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense in the later period is attributable to the fact that the balance of the notes payable – related parties was higher in the later period. If we are able to successfully complete the proposed acquisition of PCN during the year ending December 31, 2011, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase significantly due to the operations of PCN.
Net Losses
We had a net loss of $9,107, or ($0.02) per share, during the three month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $22,985, or ($0.04) per share, during the comparable period of 2010. The primary reason for the $13,878 decrease in net loss was a decrease in general and administrative expenses (professional fees) incurred in the later period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenues and Other Income
We had no revenues in either of the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. We recorded no other income in the six month periods ended June 30, 2011, or 2010. If we are able to successfully complete the proposed acquisition of PCN during the year ending December 31, 2011, we should begin to generate revenues in the year ending December 31, 2011.
Expenses
We had general and administrative expenses of $24,433 in the six month period ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $8,005 from the $32,438 of general and administrative expenses incurred in the six month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in professional fees during the later period. We incurred interest expense of $4,125 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $759 from the interest expense of $3,366 incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense is attributable to the fact that the balance of the notes payable – related parties was larger in the later period.
Net Losses
We had a net loss of $28,558 or ($0.05) per share, during the six month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $35,804, or $(0.06) per share, during the comparable period of 2010. The primary reason for the $7,246 decrease in net loss was due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses (professional fees) in the later period.
10
Liquidity and Capital Resources – June 30, 2011
The Company is in the development stage and, since inception, has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources and shareholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2011 the Company had $0 in total assets, with total liabilities of $238,414. The liabilities consist primarily of notes payable – related party, accrued interest payable and accounts payable.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $20,608 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which is identical to the financing cash flows from notes borrowed. It reflects the net loss incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2011, less increases in accounts payable of $3,825 and accrued interest payable of $4,125.
The Company’s current assets are not sufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months. The Company anticipates that it may need to raise approximately $200,000 from equity or debt financing arrangements to meet the Company’s expenses in the next twelve (12) months if the Company remains as a development stage company searching for business opportunities. If the Company successfully closes its proposed acquisition of PCN during 2011, the Company anticipates that it may need to raise approximately $200,000 from equity or debt financing arrangements to meet the Company’s expenses in the next twelve (12) months. We have no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of, funding, except that if we successfully complete the proposed acquisition of PCN, Oil m&s has agreed to loan PCN sufficient funds to comply with a development program which provides for the drilling of 11 wells in the Cerro Negro concession over a specified period of time. Further, no assurances can be given that funding, if needed, would be available or available to us on acceptable terms. Although, our principal shareholder or a company affiliated with him would be the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements in the near future, no commitments have been made for future investment and the Company has no agreement formal or otherwise. The Company’s inability to obtain funding, if required, would have a material adverse affect on its plan of operation.
We expect to rely at least partially on our principal shareholder or a company with which he is affiliated to pay our expenses in the future, because we have no cash or sources of revenues, and anticipate having none until such time that we complete a merger with or acquisition of an existing operating company. There is no assurance that we will complete such a merger or acquisition or that our principal shareholder or his affiliated company will continue indefinitely to pay our expenses.As of June 30, 2011 we had no cash and current liabilities totaled $238,414.
All of the Company’s liabilities are current liabilities due within the next year.
In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations until such time as we successfully complete an acquisition or merger. At that time, management will evaluate the possible effects of inflation on our business and operations.
Capital Expenditures
The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2010 or during the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment in the current fiscal year.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the notes to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
11
The preparation of financial statements requires Company management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Going Concern
The Company expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses, lack of revenue-generating activities and a deficit accumulated during the development stage in the amount of $2,484,884 as of June 30, 2011. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to realize a profit from operations and/or obtain funding from outside sources. Since the Company has no revenue generating operations, our plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months includes: (1) obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities; and/or (2) obtaining loans from our principal shareholders and/or various financial institutions, where possible. Although we believe that we will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Plan of Operation
The Company’s current focus is to seek out and consummate a merger with, or an acquisition of, an existing operating entity. We intend to actively seek out and investigate possible business opportunities for the purpose of possibly acquiring or merging with one or more business ventures. We do not intend to limit our search to any particular industry or type of business. From time to time we investigate possible merger candidates and acquisition opportunities. However, we can provide no assurance that we will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, business opportunity, or property that will be of material value to us.
As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Centenary on September 25, 2009, Centenary announced that on September 22, 2009, it executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Clear S.R.L. of Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina (“Clear SRL”), Oil m&s S.A. (“Oil m&s”) and Petrolera Cerro Negro S.A. (“PCN”) pursuant to which Centenary shall acquire from Clear SRL ninety-nine and 96/100 percent (99.96%) of the issued and outstanding shares of PCN which shall become a majority-owned subsidiary of Centenary. PCN owns the Oil & Gas Area Concession of “Cerro Negro,” Chubut Province, Argentina, valued at approximately US$1,064,935. In payment for the PCN shares, Centenary will issue to Clear SRL a total of 2,129,870 new shares of Centenary common stock. In addition, Oil will loan to PCN sufficient funds to comply with a Development Program which provides for the drilling of 11 wells in the concession over a specified period of time. The loan to PCN will provide that Oil m&s may, at its option, elect to convert the balance of the loan to 2,129,870 shares of Centenary common stock following completion of the eleven new wells.
The acquisition of PCN by Centenary will be a related party transaction since Clear SRL is owned sixty percent (60%) by Mr. Cristobal Manual Lopez. Centenary is owned forty-eight and 37/100 percent (48.37%) directly by Mr. Lopez and forty and 40/100 percent (40.40%) by Oil m&s. Mr. Lopez owns forty percent (40%) of Oil m&s and serves as its President and director. Mr. Carlos Fabian DeSousa, the President and sole director of Centenary, is a thirty percent (30%) owner of Oil m&s and serves as its Vice President and director.
The acquisition is subject to the signing of a definitive acquisition agreement by the parties. Closing of the acquisition of PCN is also subject to a number of conditions and legal regulations, including obtaining certain governmental approvals in Argentina. An application was filed in Chubut Province, Argentina in March 2010 seeking government approval to allow Centenary to become a shareholder of an Argentine company. The application is in process. The Company hopes to be able to obtain the necessary governmental approval and complete the acquisition by December 2011.
12
The Cerro Negro concession is a 186 km2 area in Chubut Province in the South of Argentina, with 22 out of 32 oil wells in production at present. Until March 31, 2011 it had an accumulated production of 1,155,000 barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”).
The concession finishes on December 31, 2025 and until this time the proved reserves of oil reach 6,700,000 boe and unproved reserves reach 7,300,000 boe.
Because we lack significant funds, it may be necessary for our officers, directors or principal shareholders or their affiliates to either advance funds or to accrue expenses until such time as a successful business consolidation can be made. Management intends to hold expenses to a minimum and to obtain services on a contingency basis when possible. However, if we engage outside advisors or consultants in our search for business opportunities, our expenses will increase.
We believe the best method available to us to raise capital is the private sale of our securities. Because we are a development stage company, it is unlikely that we could make a public sale of securities or be able to borrow any significant sum from either a commercial or private lender. We anticipate that our principal shareholder will continue to arrange for loans to be made to the Company in the near term to support our operations. However, he is not contractually obligated to provide additional funds to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on acceptable terms.
We do not intend to use any employees, with the possible exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors or consultants will be used only if they can be obtained for minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is confident that it will be able to operate in this manner and to continue its search for business opportunities during the next twelve months. Management further believes that we will not have to make any equipment purchases in the immediate future.
Net Operating Loss
We have accumulated approximately $290,000 of net operating loss carry forwards as of June 30, 2011. This loss carry forward may be offset against taxable income and income taxes in future years and expires in the year 2031. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry forwards. In the event of certain changes in control, there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carry forwards which can be used. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements as of June 30, 2011 because it has been fully offset by a valuation reserve. The use of future tax benefit is undeterminable because we presently have no operations.
