IAS Energy, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
IAS Energy, Inc. was incorporated on December 13, 1994 pursuant to the Laws of the State of Oregon. The Company is a Development Stage Company. On May 24, 2007, the Company changed its name to IAS Energy, Inc. The Company has minimal oil and gas revenues and is acquiring and developing a video-sharing website, as described in Note 3.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 60% owned subsidiary, Power Telecom Limited (Power Telecom), since the date the Company acquired control on September 3, 2008.
In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business, including raising capital to acquire interest in the website. Planned principle activities have not yet produced any revenues and the Company has suffered operating losses as is normal in development stage companies.
Basis of accounting and principles of consolidation
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars for interim financial information using the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended April 30, 2010. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at April 30, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The Company incurred a net loss of $179,072 and $271,173 during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and at January 31, 2011 had an accumulated deficit of $15,269,969 since its inception. The Company also has working capital deficit of $1,847,240 at January 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
At January 31, 2011, the Company has suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful.
Note 3 - Acquisition
On November 26, 2007, the Company entered into an Equity Share Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with all of the stockholders of Power Telecom, a corporation organized under the laws of Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Agreement the Company, at its option, has the right to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Power Telecom. The consideration to be paid under the Agreement consists of 55,000,000 Class A shares of common stock of the Company and the Company is required to make cash payments to Power Telecom totaling $650,000 towards the further development of Power Telecoms business. Power Telecom owns the rights to the Chinese website www.video1314.com, an information sharing website. The Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $50,000 to Power Telecom upon execution of the Agreement and an additional $300,000 capital contribution. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company received a series of irrevocable exclusive options to purchase up to 100% of the shares of Power Telecom in stages as described below:
(i)
To purchase an initial 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay $50,000 to Power Telecom and issue 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finders fee. The Company exercised this option on November 26, 2007. The 11,000,000 common shares issued were recorded at a fair value of $1,880,032.
F-8
(ii)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $100,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finders fee. The Company exercised this option on March 5, 2008. The 11,000,000 common shares issued were recorded at a fair value of $2,400,441.
(iii)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $150,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finders fee. The Company exercised this option on September 3, 2008. The 11,000,000 common shares issued were recorded at a fair value of $2,197,001.
(iv)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $150,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finders fee.
(v)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $150,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finders fee.
In accordance with FASB ASC 805, acquisitions of a controlling interest are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the acquisition.
Effective September 3, 2008, the Company owned a 60% interest in Power Telecom by having issued 33,000,000 Class A shares of common stock of the Company and making an equity contribution of $350,000 to Power Telecom for working capital purposes.
Up until September 2, 2008, the Companys 40% investment in Power Telecom was accounted for using the equity method with the Companys share of losses being $76,535 since acquisition. Upon purchasing the 60% interest, the acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include the results of operations of Power Telecom from September 3, 2008 to April 30, 2009. The losses applicable to the non-controlling interest of Power Telecom have been allocated only to the Companys interest as the losses exceed the non-controlling interest in the common shares of Power Telecom.
The purchase price of the 60% interest of Power Telecom is detailed as follows:
Capital contribution in cash
$ 350,000
Fair value of shares of IASs common stock:
First tranche of 11 million shares
1,880,032
Second Tranche of 11 million shares
2,400,441
Third tranche of 11 million shares
2,197,001
Loss in equity investment prior to September 3, 2008
(76,537)
Total Purchase Price
$ 6,750,937
The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 805. The total purchase price was allocated to the net tangible assets based on the estimated fair values. The final allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
F-9
Assets purchased: |
|
Cash and cash equivalents | $ 13,960 |
Receivables, prepaids and other current assets | 2,562 |
Goodwill | 7,018,592 |
|
|
Total assets acquired | 7,035,114 |
|
|
Liabilities assumed: |
|
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (284,177) |
|
|
Total liabilities assumed | (284,177) |
|
|
Purchase price | $ 6,750,937 |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired net of the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. FASB ASC 350 requires that intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, be evaluated on an annual basis for impairment or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially result in impairment. The goodwill was tested by performing the two-step impairment test. For the year ended April 30, 2009, no impairment was recorded. During the year ended April 30, 2010, impairment was recorded and the full amount of goodwill of $7,018,592 was written-off.
The first tranche of 11,000,000 shares issued on November 26, 2007, used the five-day average trading price of $0.23, before the announcement was made 23 October 2007, in the calculation of the fair value.
The second tranche of 11,000,000 shares issued on March 5, 2008, used the five-day average trading price of $0.28 in the calculation of the fair value.
The third tranche of 11,000,000 shares issued on July 30, 2008, used the five-day average trading price of $0.25 in the calculation of the fair value.
Since these shares have trading restrictions, the aggregate fair value was calculated using the above prices, over the estimated time (based on trading restrictions) to achieve free trading status, using a 10% discount factor.
Pro forma information
The following consolidated pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and Power Telecom for the year ended April 30, 2009 as if the acquisitions had occurred at May 1, 2008, including the issuance of the Companys common shares as consideration for the acquisition of Power Telecom.

The amounts of revenue and net loss of Power Telecom since the acquisition date included in the consolidated income statement for the year ended April 30, 2009 are $7,726 and $166,395, respectively.
The consolidated pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to remove certain private company expenses, which may not be incurred in future periods. Similarly, the unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information does not include adjustments for additional expenses, such as rent, insurance, and other expenses that would have been incurred subsequent to the acquisition date.

F-10
As part of the Option Agreement, the Company granted 1,000,000 stock options as stock based compensation to the subsidiarys key employees to purchase 1,000,000 Class A common shares of the Company at a price of $0.33 per share for a period of five years. The 1,000,000 stock options were recorded at a fair value of $267,954. The options vest as to 12.5% upon grant date and an additional 12.5% every 90 days thereafter.
Change in control
Per the Option Agreement dated November 26, 2007 (Option Agreement) between the Company, Mr. Samuel Kam, a businessman and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited, who collectively owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Power Telecom, upon the exercise of the fourth option as described above, Mr. Samuel Kam and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited will own the majority shares of common stock of the Company.
In addition, pursuant to the Option Agreement, upon the Company fully exercising the options described above, the Board of Directors of the Company shall consist of five persons, three to be nominated by Mr. Samuel Kam and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited and two to be nominated by John Robertson, the current President of the Company. From the Option Agreement until the earlier of the date that the Company has fully exercised the options and December 31, 2013, Mr. Samuel Kam and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited covenant to vote their shares of the Company in favor of the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company as John Robertson, the current President of IAS, shall so direct in writing. Thus the control of the company will remain with Mr. John Robertson at least before December 31, 2013.
As at January 31, 2011 and the date of these financial statements the Company does not intend to exercise options to acquire further interest in Power Telecom.
Note 4 - Asset Retirement Obligation
The total future asset retirement obligation was estimated by management based on the Companys net ownership interest in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon the wells and facilities, and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. Although the Companys wells are producing, the Company has estimated the total ARO to be $Nil As of January 31, 2011 and April 30, 2010, because the costs to be incurred in shutting down the wells are estimated to be minimal.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions were in the normal course of operations and are recorded at their exchange amounts. Amounts due to and from related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. Related parties consist of companies that have common directors and/or officers with the Company and companies that are controlled by a significant shareholder of the Company.
As at January 31, 2011, the Company had an amounts receivable from related companies of $14,426 (April 30, 2010 - $1,630). The amount comprised of advances and/or expenses paid by the Company. The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and without specific terms of repayment.
As at January 31, 2011, the Company owed related companies $1,753,839 (April 30, 2010- $1,717,434) comprised of advances and/or expenses paid on behalf of the Company. The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and without specific terms of repayment.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2011, the Company accrued fees to a professional law firm in which a partner of the firm is an officer and director of the Company for legal fees of $1,125 (2010 - $188).
On April 7, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Teryl Resources Corp (Teryl), a related company, to sell to Teryl the remaining 40% working interest in the three gas wells located in Know and Laurel Counties, Kentucky. In consideration, the Company received an initial payment of $25,000 and the balance will be determined after an independent valuation report prepared by a qualified petroleum geologist. During the year ended April 30, 2009 both parties agreed to indefinitely suspend the agreement due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes. As at January 31, 2011 and the date of this filing the sale was not completed. As such, the $25,000 paid to the Company during the year ended April 30, 2009 was recorded as due to Teryl.
F-11
During the nine months ended January 31, 2011 the Company incurred $120,463 (HK$912,600) (2010 - $117,725; HK$912,600) management fees to the general manager of Power Telecom who is a shareholder owning more than 10% of the Companys outstanding Class A common shares.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2011 the Company accrued and paid interest expense of $1,641 (2010 - $1,641) on the two notes.
Note 7 - Available-For-Sale-Securities

Fair Value Measurements
The Company values its marketable securities held for sale under FASB ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are
F-12
supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
Level 3 Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in managements best estimate of fair value.
The Company uses Level 1 to value its marketable securities available for sale.
The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Companys financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on January 31, 2011 and April 30, 2010:

Note 11 - Oil and Gas Properties
(a)
The Company entered into an agreement on April 6, 2005 with a private company controlled by the President of the Company to acquire a working interest in two oil wells located in Burleson County, Texas. The Company agreed to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at the rate of one share for every $0.10 of revenue from the wells. The Company issued 775,255 of the shares due during the year ended April 30, 2009 and issued the remaining 224,745 shares on July 31, 2009 to complete the transaction.
The Companys portion of revenue earned from these wells during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $43,627 and $13,876, respectively.
The wells are producing but a value cannot be placed on them due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes. As a result, all costs are impaired immediately. Total impairment recorded on the above wells was $Nil and $53,462 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(b)
On 4 May 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Energy Source Inc. (ESI) to drill up to 24 gas wells located in Kentucky. The Company can earn a 100% working interest (60% net revenue interest) in four gas wells by
F-15
paying $185,000 per well and has the option to acquire a 100% working interest (60% net revenue interest) in an additional 20 wells over an 18-month period at a price to be agreed upon. Each well is subject to a 12.5% net revenue interest to the landowner and a 27.5% interest to ESI. On 18 May 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Teryl, a public company related by common directors and officers, to farm-out a 40% working interest, outlined above, subject to a 12.5% net revenue interest to the landowner and a 27.5% interest to ESI, in consideration for paying 50% of the total costs of the wells. The Company received $277,500 from Teryl during the year ended April 30, 2007, representing 50% of the cost of drilling the first, second and third wells. On 28 September 2006, the Company assigned a 20% working interest (12% net revenue interest) in the third well drilled as part of a financing agreement.
The Companys portion of revenue earned from these wells during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $Nil.
Due to the nature of these wells and the low production volumes, the Company is unable to estimate proved reserves. As a result all costs are impaired immediately.
Note 12 Subsequent Event
On March 17, 2011 the Company issued 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.10 per share for total subscription total proceeds of $10,000 received during the nine months ended January 31, 2011.

We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), particularly our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Business Overview
We are a development stage company incorporated in the state of Oregon in 1994. Our principal business operations are conducted in British Columbia and in China. Our principal business operation is the continued operation and development of the Video1314 website. We have a moderate oil and gas revenue from our oil and gas interest in Texas.
We currently own a 60% interest in Power Telecom Limited (PTL) and have an option to purchase the remaining 40% interest. PTL owns a 100% beneficial interest in www.video1314.com (Video1314) a Chinese Web 2.0 platform similar to YouTube (www.youtube.com).
Video1314 is a fast growing Chinese Web 2.0 platform, similar to www.youtube.com, that allows users to share videos, music, and audio as well as sell goods and services using videos in its marketplace. Since its launch, Video1314 has attracted millions of users and is fast becoming one of Asias top Web2.0 destinations. Video1314 currently serves the Greater China region, which includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The features of the site are focused on free online photo, video and audio sharing; a marketplace to buy and sell goods using video, photo and audio technologies; and online educational gaming.
For the month of July, 2010 Video1314 recorded 69,388,229 hits compared to 4,000,000 hits per month in November 2007, representing an increase of 1,635% over less than three years.
In July, 2010 Video1314 signed its advertising agreement with Guru Online's Maximizer advertising program. With visitor numbers in the millions, Video1314 is garnering advertiser's sponsorships and targeting profits with the help of leading advertising agent Guru Online, Hong Kong. Guru Online's customers include HSBC, Nike, Coca-Cola, Sony, Apple, Citibank, Visa, Nokia, Dell, Motorola, Bank of China, Samsung, etc. Video1314 aims at signing major partnership and sponsorship agreements for each vertical channel in the coming months.
In November 2010 Video1314.com site adopted HTML5 for its entire video platform. HTML5 is a new standard for structuring and presenting content on the Internet. The adoption of HTML5 also ensures compatibility with all of Apple's products, such as the iPhone, iPad and iTouch. By offering compatibility with Apple's products, Video1314 hopes to further increase its viewers and user base. There are an estimated over 5.3 million iPhones in Asia.
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this report is to continue to develop the Video1314 website business. We anticipate spending approximately $300,000 for general and administrative expenses, including fees we will incur in complying with reporting obligations.

As of January 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $1,857,240, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,727,339 as at April 30, 2010. Further losses are expected until we are able to generate sufficient revenues from our 60% interest in Video1314 to cover our expenses.
Results of Operations for Nine months Ending January 31, 2011 (2011) Compared to the Nine months Ended January 31, 2010 (2010)
We had a net loss of $179,072 during the nine months ending January 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $271,173 during the nine months ending January 31, 2010.
During the nine months ending January 31, 2011 upon completion of well repair we generated revenue of $43,627 from and incurred operating expenses of $13,078 for our oil and gas production. During the same period in 2010, we generate oil and gas revenue of $13,876 and incurred cost of $20,355.
During the nine months ending January 31, 2011 PTL generated revenue of $22,351 from web design and advertisement, which was absent during the same period in 2010.
Office and administrative expenses decreased by $9,979 from $170,501in 2010 to $180,480 in 2011. Significant changes are as follows:
-
In 2010 we had stock based compensation expense of $71,946 for stock options granted and vested during the period; in the same period of fiscal 2011 we did not have stock options granted or vested;
-
In 2010 we incurred consulting fees of $16,267; in 2011 consulting fees increased to $32,742 due to the consulting fees of $12,500 paid to Tritos Inc. for shareholder information advice and public relations services, which was absent in 2010, as well as investor relation fees of $10,000 paid to VNC Associates in 2011 which was not incurred in 2010. Such costs increased in 2011 when the management intends in raise more equity with the improvement in the capital market.
Professional fees decreased by $14,228 from $55,534 in 2010 to $41,306 in 2011 because starting from the end of 2010 we streamlined our financial reporting process; while accounting and auditor review fees were significant in 2010 due to audit and accounting services in relation to completion of the acquisition of 60% interest in Power Telecom.
Transfer agent and regulatory fees increased by $3,924 from $6,989 in 2010 to $10,913 in 2011 as a result of increased share transactions in the current period.
The impairment loss on petroleum interests decreased from $50,995 in 2010 to $Nil in 2011, due to the fact that our wells are producing and consistently producing net income and generating positive cash flow during the current period after the wells were repaired at the end of fiscal 2010.

In consideration, the Company received an initial payment of $25,000 and the balance will be determined after an independent valuation report prepared by a qualified petroleum geologist. During the year ended April 30, 2009 both parties agreed to indefinitely suspend the agreement due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes.

The Company shares office space with companies with related directors and officers. The Company occupied this space rent-free during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the past, we have derived most of our development and operating capital primarily from the issuance of capital stock and advances from related parties. We have also received minimal revenue from our oil and gas wells. Although we intend to continue utilizing these sources, there is no assurance that these sources and methods would continue to be available in the future.
We advanced an additional $36,405 during the nine months ended January 31, 2011 from our affiliated companies with common officers and directors. The total amount owing to related parties is $1,753,839 or 93.42% of total current liabilities as at January 31, 2011. The balances owing to related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and repayable on demand. Our affiliated companies have indicated that they will not be demanding repayment of these funds during the next fiscal year and will advance, or pay expenses on our behalf if further funds are needed.
As of January 31, 2011, our cash position was $572, compared to $72,322 as of April 30, 2010, and we had a working capital deficit of $1,847,240 at January 31, 2011. We anticipate that our estimated cash requirements for operational expenses for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2011 will be approximately $300,000.
In the event that no other sources of capital were available to us in the future, on a reasonable financial basis, we would face the same obstacles as many small, undercapitalized companies do, and, in the worst case, we could be forced to reorganize or liquidate, either of which consequence would likely have an adverse financial effect upon our shareholders.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2011we financed our cash used in operations of $173,296 (2010 - $135,579) as follows:
(a)
proceeds from issuance of common shares $56,450 (2010 - $7,500) from the issuance of Common Shares;
(b)
advance from related parties of $36,405 (2010 - $35,711); and
(c)
$8,737 from the sale of available for sale securities (2010 - $121,750).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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 is material to our stockholders.
