NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1.ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation

 

Colombia Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the business of acquiring and developing coal mining assets, and mining and selling metallurgical coal in the Republic of Colombia, South America. The Company owns and controls mining concessions in the provinces of Boyaca and Santander.

 

Although the Company commenced limited production in December 2011, it is still considered an exploration stage company under the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) since it has not yet demonstrated the existence of proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC, at its Rukú Mining Complex in Socota, Colombia or at any of its other properties. As a result, and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for exploration stage companies, all expenditures for exploration and evaluation of the Company’s properties are expensed as incurred and unless mineralized material is classified as proven or probable reserves, substantially all expenditures for mine and exploration activities have been and will continue to be expensed as incurred. Certain expenditures, such as for mining equipment or other general-purpose equipment, may be capitalized, subject to evaluation of the possible impairment of the asset. The Company expects to remain as an exploration stage company for the foreseeable future. The Company will not exit the exploration stage unless and until it demonstrates the existence of proven or probable reserves that meet the SEC guidelines.

 

The definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7. Proven reserves are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; (b) grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling; and (c) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established. Probable reserves are reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. In addition, reserves cannot be considered proven and probable until they are supported by a feasibility study, indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are economically and legally extractable at the time of the reserve determination.

 

The Company’s current operations are focused on production, exploration and development activities. The Company has retained leading engineering and geological services firms in the U.S. and Colombia to conduct exploration work in selected concessions owned by the Company. The Company’s team of executives, advisors and partners is comprised of experienced entrepreneurs and business professionals in U.S. and Colombia that have a broad breadth of experience in coal mining and substantial industry relationships.

 

Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company owns 100% of Colombia Clean Power S.A.S. (formerly known as Energia Andina Santander Resources S.A.S.), a Colombian company established to acquire and develop coal concessions. The non-controlling interest represents the 30% ownership in Ruku’s mining operations not controlled by the Company. See Note 2. Colombia Clean Power S.A.S.’ corporate offices are located in Bogota, Colombia.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Company History and Basis of Reporting

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012. The accompanying (a) consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to SEC Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. As a result, while the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading, certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations.

The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements recognize all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2012, and its consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 6, 1996 under the name “Freedom Resources Enterprises, Inc.” to engage in the business of self-help publications and workshops. Between November 1996 and September 2005 the Company generated minimal revenues, and in October 2005, the Company ceased all business operations. From October 2005 to early May 2010, the Company did not engage in any business activities. Prior to this period, the Company’s management had been evaluating potential business opportunities that might be available to the Company to preserve its shareholders’ investment in its common shares.

 

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with LIFE Power & Fuels, LLC (“LIFE”), pursuant to which it issued to LIFE 19,080,000 (post-split) shares of its common stock, which shares represented approximately 94.1% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock at such time, elected one new director to its board of directors and changed its management team. Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, the Company ceased to be a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and adopted a new plan of operations. Subsequently, LIFE sold approximately 4,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock to certain related parties. Also, in March 2011, LIFE distributed 2,159,996 shares of the Company’s common stock to LIFE’s limited partner investors. As of March 31, 2012, LIFE owned approximately 26.4% (adjusted for dilution of shares) of the outstanding shares of the Company.

 

On July 28, 2010, the Company affected a reverse stock split of two shares for every five shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, outstanding shares and share price of common stock and stock options were adjusted to account for the effects of the reverse stock split.

 

Effective July 28, 2010, the Company changed its name from Freedom Resources Enterprises, Inc. to “Colombia Clean Power & Fuels, Inc.”

 

In 2011 we completed a non-public offering of units in which each unit consisted of 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at any time and a five-year stock purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 3,500 shares of Common Stock for $0.01 per share. Certain holders of 10% convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $7,305,000 converted their notes into 730,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and were also granted warrants to purchase 255,675 shares of our common stock.   In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,022,175 shares of Common Stock in consideration of aggregate cash proceeds of $22,000,000. Aggregate cash fees of $1,139,855 were paid to the placement agents.  In addition, the placement agents were issued five-year warrants, substantially similar to the warrants sold in the offering, to purchase an aggregate of 480,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The securities sold in this offering have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

On September 6, 2011, shareholders owning a majority of the voting control of the Company authorized, by written consent, an amendment to the articles of incorporation to change the name of the Company from “Colombia Clean Power & Fuels, Inc.” to “Colombia Energy Resources, Inc.” and authorized the change of domicile of the Company from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware through the merger of the Company with and into a Delaware corporation formed solely for the purpose of changing domicile. The effective date of the change of domicile and name change was November 4, 2011.

On November 7, 2011, the quotation of the Company’s common stock on the OTC QX was approved.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses since the date of inception that resulted in an accumulated deficit attributable to common stockholders of $29,431,435 as of March 31, 2012. Although the Company had $7,371,246 of available cash at March 31, 2012, that amount is not adequate to meet its capital expenditures and operating requirements over the next 12 months. In addition, the Company is dependent upon obtaining funds from investors. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise additional funds through issuance of notes or shares of stock in 2012 in order to meet its capital expenditures and operating requirements. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the additional funds it needs. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no cash equivalents.

 

Other Current Assets and Other Assets

 

Other current assets and other assets include direct expenses incurred, including the fair value of stock warrants issued to brokers, as a result of the Company’s Note financing (see Note 4). Placement agent fees and other direct costs incurred in this transaction are being amortized over the life of the Notes.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, which include ten mining concessions in the states of Santander and Boyaca, Colombia and construction in progress, are stated at cost. Mining concessions will be amortized using the units-of-production method based upon recoverable proven and probable reserves of the mine and when the Company commences operation. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset of 5 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and costs of significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.

 

Inventory

 

At March 31, 2012 inventory consists of raw coal extracted from the Ruku mining site and is carried at the lower of cost or market. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment, operating overhead and other related costs.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events that trigger a test for recoverability include material adverse changes in projected revenues and expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges during the periods presented.

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for mineral exploration costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 932, Extractive Activities. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures to acquire new mines (e.g. purchase of mining concessions), to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and will be amortized on a units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company issued convertible notes payable that are considered hybrid financial instruments that blend the characteristics of both equity and debt securities. They embody settlement alternatives available to the holder providing for either redemption of the principal and interest for cash at maturity (“Forward Component”) or conversion into the Company’s common stock (“Embedded Conversion Feature” or “ECF”).  The convertible notes payable also embody contingent equity-linked share price protections on the ECF in the form of down-round, anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price during the term to maturity. The Company determined that the convertible notes payable contain an embedded derivative feature that is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC No. 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The embedded conversion feature is carried at fair value and marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period. The Company uses the binomial lattice model to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion feature. See Note 4.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company and its wholly-owned Dutch and Spanish subsidiaries, Energia Andina Santander Resources Coop UA and Energia Andina Resources España, S.L., maintain accounting records using U.S. dollars. Colombia Clean Power S.A.S., the Company’s principal Colombian subsidiary, maintains accounting records in Colombian Pesos.

 

The financial statements of Colombia Clean Power S.A.S. are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital account is translated at the historical exchange rate prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are presented as currency translation adjustment within the “consolidated statements of stockholders equity”. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from the translation of the financial statements expressed in Colombian Pesos to U.S. dollars is reported as a currency translation adjustment and as a component of “other comprehensive income (loss)” in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share are presented in accordance with the provisions of the ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC No. 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share.

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method. The basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 because the Company was in a net loss position.

 

The Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2012 do not include the underlying shares exercisable with respect to the 1,651,100 outstanding warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share. However, the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing basic loss per share in accordance with ASC No. 260.

 

9
 

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding stock warrants, restricted stock units, and stock options exercisable to purchase, and convertible notes and convertible preferred stock that were convertible into an aggregate of 21,602,274 shares of common stock that were considered anti-dilutive because of the net loss.

 

Segments

 

The Company operates in one business segment. The Company and its subsidiaries’ assets are located primarily in the United States of America and in Colombia.

 

As of March 31, 2012, long-term assets of approximately $11,700,000 and $900,000 are in Colombia and in the United States, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, long-term assets of approximately $10,600,000 and $800,000 were in Colombia and in the United States, respectively.

 

For the three-month ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not generate any revenues.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain balances in the prior period’s financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions to minimize credit risk; however, the Company may periodically exceed federal deposit insurance limits.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

 

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain positions based upon the provisions of ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company accounts for interest and penalties generated by income tax contingencies as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to foreign taxation.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee requisite service period, which is generally four years. The Company’s stock compensation is generally accounted for as an equity instrument.

 

ASC No. 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value due to their relative short maturities. Based on borrowing rates available to the Company, the convertible notes payable approximate their fair value. The fair value of derivative liability was determined using Level 3 inputs described below.

 

The Company adopted amendments to the accounting standard addressing the measurement of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

In determining fair values of all reported assets and liabilities that represent financial instruments, the Company uses the carrying market values of such amounts. The standard establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

 

Level 1–instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

 

Level 2–instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

 

Level 3–instrument valuations are obtained without observable market values and require a high-level of judgment to determine the fair value.

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company’s only financial liability, embedded conversion feature, was carried at fair value using Level 3 inputs and totaled $268,000. The financial instrument that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis is summarized as follows:

 

Liabilities  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
                     
Derivative liability - embedded conversion feature  $-   $-   $268,000   $268,000 

 

The following table shows the changes in Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012:

 

   Derivative     
   Liability -     
   Embedded     
   Conversion   Total 
   Feature   Level 3 
Balance, December 31, 2011  $264,000   $264,000 
Unrealized loss on change in fair value   4,000    4,000 
Balance, March 31, 2012  $268,000   $268,000

There were no accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, that are of significance to the Company.

 

2. ACQUISITION OF MINING ASSETS

 

North Block Mining Project

 

On July 19, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase two coal concessions (Ingeominas Titles GG7-111 and GG7-11522X). The concessions have been fully paid for and are listed under the Company’s name on the official website of the Colombian mining authority, Ingeominas. Under the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the sellers a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by our Company from these concessions.

 

On October 20, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an additional coal concession (Ingeominas title FLG-092). The Company has paid to the seller $315,000 and owes an additional $1,200,000 payable in six payments of $200,000 every three months beginning August 2011. The first such payment was made in installments with the last occurring on January 13, 2012. A portion of these amounts will offset against the per ton royalty described below. In addition, the Company has paid to Ingeominas $114,502 which represents past due governmental fees owed by the seller. Also, as per the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the seller a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by our Company from this concession. 50% of this royalty is applied to amortize the $1,200,000 in concession payments.

 

Otanche Mining Project

 

On February 11, 2011, the Company made a deposit of $100,000 to purchase three additional coal concessions in the state of Boyaca, Colombia. The aggregate purchase price of these concessions was $2.50 million, $666,585 of which has been paid as of March 31, 2012. An amount of $222,277 was due upon the Colombian Institute of Mining and Geology’s approval of a third mining license; this was paid on January 15, 2012. An amount of $111,138 is due upon the earlier of the recording and publication of the assignment in the National Mining Register or 90 days following the prior payment and the balance of $1,500,000 is payable in three payments of approximately $500,000 every 6 months thereafter. There will also be an ongoing royalty payment to the sellers of $2.75 per ton of coal mined.

 

Rukú Mining Complex

 

On August 22, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a 70% working interest in two coal mining concessions located near Socota, Colombia from Howerd Milton Cubides Botia (the “Assignor”). The agreement also included the right to a concession being permitted and another one in the process of being purchased. These concessions cover approximately 222 acres and included a coal mine that has been operating for eighteen years producing metallurgical coal for the local market. In October 2011, the agreement was amended with both parties agreeing that the Assignor would continue to provide capital and operating expenditures on the mining property through October 18, 2011. Thereafter, the Company gained operating control of the mining properties. Operating funds will be provided by each party in proportion to its interest in the mining concessions, provided that the Company has agreed to fund the project in full and receive 50% of the proceeds allocable to the Assignor until the additional funds provided by us are repaid.

 

The acquisition was considered a purchase of a business and was accounted for as a purchase business combination effective when the Company obtained control of the mining assets on October 18, 2011. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on October 18, 2011, the date when the Company obtained control of the mining assets.

 

The cost of acquiring the 70% interest is based on a series of contingent payments over the next three years consisting of the number of proven tons of reserves as determined by an independent engineer’s review of our exploration program multiplied by certain dollar amounts per ton. The Company initially paid $500,000 to the Assignor upon signing of the agreement in August 2011. Upon obtaining control on October 18, 2011, the Company determined the fair value at October 18, 2012 of the mining rights and other assets acquired to be $4,541,502. This was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation was as follows:

 

12
 

 

 

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:     
Property and equipment  $827,238 
Concession mining rights   3,484,000 
Goodwill   230,264 
Taxes payable   (674)
  $4,540,828 
      
Total Purchase Price:     
Cash Paid  $500,000 
Contingent Earnout Liabiliites   2,678,580 
Noncontrolling Interest   1,362,248 
      
  $4,540,828 

 

On February 2, 2012, our Colombian subsidiary entered into a contract with Dairo Ruben Herrera Perez and Ariel Salcedo Leal in connection with the assignment of mining concession contract FI7-081. The concession is adjacent to our Rukú Mining Complex and will allow more efficient access to Rukú’s coal resources and ultimately, lower operating costs and improved safety. The concession has 17 hectares (42 acres) and metallurgical coal resources similar in quality to Rukú’s. Its permit, FI7-081, is currently in the construction or preoperative phase. Compensation for the property includes $167,079 paid at signing of the agreement on February 3, 2012 and an additional $111,386 due upon governmental approval of the concession’s transfer to our Colombian subsidiary which we anticipate later this year.

 

Boavita Mining Project

 

On October 7, 2011, our Colombian subsidiary entered into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Americana de Minerales de Exploracion S.A.S. (“AMERALEX”) for the option to purchase all of the rights of AMERALEX in mining concession FFB-081 covering approximately 1,550 hectares (approximately 3,830 acres) located in the jurisdiction of the Municipalities of Boavita and La Uvita, Department of Boyacá, Republic of Colombia (the “Boavita Mining Concession”). Once INGEOMINAS approves the mining plan, we have up to 24 months to conduct exploration of the entire concession, evaluate and characterize the coal deposit, and exercise the option. The purchase price will be determined based upon the determination of proven and probable reserves using standard methodology. We are obligated to pay an agreed amount upon reaching a firm purchase arrangement and approval of the mining plan. We are obligated to pay an agreed amount nine months after the first payment. Upon completion of the exploration work, and if we exercise the option to acquire the concession, we are obligated to make an additional payment. Beginning 30 months after the initial payment under the option Agreement, we are obligated to make annual payments; however, the total aggregate purchase price will be limited to the final calculation of proven and probable reserves, not to exceed an agreed maximum amount.

 

13
 

 

On December 27, 2011, we entered into an operations agreement with AMERALEX which allows for the immediate start of mining operations on the Boavita Mining Concession once INGEOMINAS, the Colombian state mining authority, approves the mining plan, which occurred on March 13, 2012. As compensation to AMERALEX for this right, we paid $100,000 on the date the agreement was entered into and have agreed to pay $150,000 upon approval of the agreement by our company’s board of directors. We have also agreed to pay AMERALEX a 5% royalty on monthly sales, 50% of which will be offset by the $250,000 upfront payments. On March 15, 2012 the agreement was amended to extend its term 90 days and further define the manner in which the royalty is calculated.

 

3. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,367,085 and $1,697,875 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are broken down as follows:

 

   March 31, 2012   December 31, 2011 
Accounts payable  $1,138,207   $601,128 
Mining Concession payable (current portion)   1,361,138    1,018,699 
Accrued payroll   101,212    78,048 
TOTAL  $2,600,557   $1,697,875 

 

4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

In multiple closings, the most recent taking place on December 21, 2010, the Company issued $8,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10% convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). The proceeds of the Notes offering were used to fund exploration-sta ge activities of the Company, including the identification, analysis and negotiation for coal resources in Colombia that meet the Company’s criteria for mining, processing and export potential.

 

The Notes are secured by the Company’s interest in the business operation of its subsidiary in Colombia. The Notes accrue interest at an annual rate of 10%. Principal and interest are due on June 30, 2012. The Notes can be converted at any time into common stock at a rate equal to $2.50 of principal for each share of common stock.

 

During the first closing of the Series A Preferred Stock, the aggregate principal amount of $7,305,000 was converted to shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has $642,033 and $604,351 respectively, of Notes outstanding.

 

Notes are hybrid financial instruments that blend characteristics of both equity and debt securities. They embody settlement alternatives available to the holder providing for either redemption of the principal and interest for cash at maturity (“Forward Component”) or conversion into the Company’s common stock (“Embedded Conversion Feature” or “ECF”).  The Notes also embody contingent equity-linked share price protections on the ECF in the form of down-round, anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price during the term to maturity. As a result, the Company determined that the Notes contain certain embedded derivative features. The Company’s evaluation resulted in the conclusion that the compound derivative financial instrument required bifurcation and separately account for the embedded conversion option as a derivative liability, carried at fair value and marked-to-market each period. The aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at $3,072,000 on the date of issuance of the Notes.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at $268,000 and $264,000 respectively. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature liability pertaining to the Notes that was converted to preferred stock was adjusted as an increase in preferred stock. The initial value of the embedded conversion feature was recorded as discount in notes payable and is being accreted to interest expense method through the maturity or conversion date of the Notes. The balance of the unamortized discount related to the ECF was $37,684 and $75,366 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

14
 

 

At the closings of the Notes issuance, the Company also issued to the Notes investors five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The total number of outstanding warrants issued in the Notes offering was 676,000 and 726,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively. The stock warrants were initially recorded as discount on notes payable and were allocated based upon their relative fair values on the date of the issuance, which aggregated to $2,388,790. The fair value of the stock warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The discount in notes payable is being amortized to interest expense through the maturity or conversion date of the Notes. The portion of unamortized discount pertaining to the Notes that were converted to preferred stock was adjusted as a reduction to preferred stock. The balance of the unamortized discount related to the warrants was $6,076 and $15,282 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

5. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Subscription Agreement with LIFE

 

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with LIFE. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of 19,080,000 (post-split) shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock to LIFE for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, which funds were used to eliminate the Company’s then current liabilities. The Shares represented 94.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the transaction, and the transaction resulted in a change in control of the Company.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On July 28, 2010, the Company executed a reverse stock split of its common stock in which two new shares of common stock were issued for every five shares of common stock held as of the date of the reverse stock split. This reverse split has been applied retrospectively in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Convertible Series A Preferred Stock

 

On June 1, 2011, the first closing of a private placement of a minimum of 200 units and a maximum of 300 units for a purchase price of $100,000 per unit was completed.  Each Unit consists of 10,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which shares initially are convertible into an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at any time and a five-year stock purchase warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 3,500 shares of Common Stock for $.001 per share. At the first closing of the offering, certain holders of 10% convertible promissory notes converted their notes into shares of Series A Preferred Stock and were also granted warrants to purchase shares of common stock at the rate of 3,500 shares for each $100,000 aggregate principal amount of notes converted.   In the first closing, an aggregate of 2,920,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,022,175 shares of Common Stock were issued, in consideration of aggregate cash proceeds of $22,000,000 and the conversion of notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7,305,000. Holders of the Series A preferred stock are entitled to certain rights and preferences over the common stock as described below. Aggregate cash fees of $1,139,853 were paid to the placement agents at the first closing.  In addition, the placement agents were issued five-year warrants, substantially similar to the warrants sold in the offering, to purchase an aggregate of 480,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

 

Dividends are payable on the Series A Preferred Stock at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Rate, which was originally $10.00) of 9% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. For dividend payment dates occurring prior to June 1, 2013, the dividend is payable one-third in cash and two-thirds in common stock. Thereafter, the dividend is payable, at the option of the Company, either 100% in cash or one-third in cash and two-thirds in stock.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock votes with the common stock as a single class and each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder's option into a number of shares of our common stock equal to $10.00 divided by the conversion price (initially $2.00), or initially five shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations.

 

15
 

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory conversion by the company commencing November 30, 2012, if the closing bid price of the company’s common stock exceeds 2.5 times the then-applicable conversion price for 60 consecutive days. The Series A Preferred Stock is also subject to mandatory conversion beginning on the date that 60% or more of the shares of Series A Preferred issued on June 1, 2011 have been converted to common stock in a voluntary conversion.

 

The Amended Certificate of Designation provides that in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding would be entitled to receive, out of assets available for distribution to stockholders, before any payment is made or any assets distributed to the holders of our common stock or any other class or series of preferred stock that is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, an amount per share of the Series A Preferred Stock equal to $15.00 as a liquidation preference. A consolidation or merger with another entity or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets under specified circumstances would be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company. However, these events are solely within Company control.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company is seeking to recruit and retain experienced professionals from the global energy, natural resource development and mining industries. The Company will seek to offer compensation that is commensurate with the qualifications of future employees and advisors, including the ability to offer equity participation with vesting provisions typical of early-stage public companies. On May 12, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), which gives the Company the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and stock bonuses (collectively, “Awards”) to employees or consultants of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company and to non-employee members of the Company’s advisory board or the board of directors of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries. The Incentive Plan was amended on August 31, 2011.

 

The Board of Directors has authorized 6,133,334 shares of common stock for issuance under the Incentive Plan. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Company common stock outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or similar corporate change, the maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which the Board of Directors may grant awards, appropriate adjustments will be made to the shares subject to the Incentive Plan and to any outstanding Awards. Shares available for Awards under the Incentive Plan may be either newly-issued shares or treasury shares. If an Award or portion thereof shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unexercised shares covered by such Award shall be available for future grants of Awards under the Incentive Plan.

 

The aggregate grant date fair value of stock option awards granted were determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model (Black-Scholes) to estimate fair value of its stock-based awards. Black-Scholes requires various judgmental assumptions, including estimating stock price volatility, expected option life and forfeiture rates. If the Company had made different assumptions, the amount of its deferred stock-based compensation, stock-based compensation expense, net loss and net loss per share amounts could have been significantly different. The Company believes that it has used reasonable methodologies, approaches and assumptions to determine the fair value of its common stock and that deferred stock-based compensation and related amortization were recorded properly for accounting purposes. If any of the assumptions used change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

 

The following table sets forth the number of options granted and outstanding and the weighted average exercise price stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

 

16
 

 

   Number of Shares Subject to Option   Weighted Average Exercise Price   Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term 
Outstanding at December 31, 2011   3,738,334   $2.86     4.5 years 
Granted during the Period   117,200   $1.70    4.6 years 
Exercised   -   $-    - 
Forfeited/canceled/expired   -   $-    - 
Outstanding March 31, 2012   3,855,534   $2.83    4.5 years 
Exercisable at March 31, 2012   1,178,884   $2.74    4.2 years 
Shares vested at March 31, 2012   1,619,482   $2.74    4.5 years 

 

The weighted-average exercise price per share for the options granted during the three month ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.70 per share and $2.50 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercisable during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $220,500 and $262,938, respectively.


During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the total intrinsic value of options exercised (i.e. the difference between the market price at exercise and the price paid by the employee to exercise the options) was $0 and $0, respectively, and the total amount of cash received from exercise of these options was $0 and $3,000 respectively. The total grant date fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Stock compensation expense was $364,099 and $366,266 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1,565,172 for the cumulative period from November 6, 1996 (date of inception) through March 31, 2012.

The Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of common stock to investors in the Notes offering. Of those warrants, 726,000 shares had not been exercised as of March 31, 2012. All of the warrants issued to investors in the Notes offering expire on June 30, 2015 and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The value of these warrants at issuance had been accounted for in shareholder’s equity as an increase in additional paid in capital.

 

In connection with the Notes financing, the Company issued stock warrants to purchase an aggregate of 340,640 shares of common stock to the security brokers in the Notes offering on December 23, 2010.  All of the warrants issued to the security brokers expire on December 20, 2015 and have an exercise price of $2.50 per share.  

 

As part of the first closing of the Series A Preferred Stock Financing, the Company issued stock warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,025,675 shares of common stock to the investors in the Stock Financing on June 1, 2011.  Of those warrants, 975,100 shares had not been exercised as of March 31, 2012. All of the warrants issued to the Series A preferred stock investors expire on June 1, 2016 and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. In addition, 480,000 in stock warrants were issued to security brokers in the stock offering. All of the warrants issued in connection with the Stock Financing expire on June 1, 2016 and have an exercise price of $2.00 per share.   Except for the warrants issued to the holders of the converted notes payable, the fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of Series A preferred stock and to the security brokers was reported as an increase and decrease in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of the Notes that were converted to Series A preferred stock was estimated at $682,753 using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and was accounted for as an increase in additional paid-in capital and expense.

Restricted Stock Units

 

The Board of Directors has authorized a compensation plan for non-employee directors of the Company beginning January 1, 2012. Under the plan directors would receive cash compensation of $4,000 per month and $6,250 per month for the Chairman. In addition, each non-employee board member would receive restricted stock in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for each year of service based upon the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The RSUs would be granted on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. The vesting period for the restricted stock units would expire at end of the director’s term which would normally be the next annual meeting of shareholders.

 

On January 3, 2012, RSUs of 214,200 were awarded to the non-employee directors of the Company. The RSUs vested on the date of the annual shareholders meeting which was May 8, 2012. The total fair value related to the RSUs was $220,222.

 

6. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The elements for calculation of earnings (loss) per share for the year three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

 

18
 

 

   Quarter ended 
   March 31 
   2012   2011 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders  $(3,692,880)  $(2,985,177)
           
Weighted average shares used in basic and diluted computation   25,241,457    23,530,570

The Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2012 do not include the underlying shares exercisable with respect to the issuance of the warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share. However, the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing loss per share in accordance with ASC No. 260.

 

 

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

At March 31, 2012, LIFE owned approximately 26.4% (adjusted for dilution of shares) of the outstanding shares of the Company.

 

As described in Note 4, the Company had a convertible note payable to LIFE totaling $80,000 as of December 31, 2010. The note was converted to preferred shares as part of the Stock Financing.

 

On August 3, 2010, the Company entered into a 3-year management and services agreement with LIFE pursuant to which LIFE agreed to provide certain corporate, financial, and merger and acquisition advisory services to the Company and assistance with securing equipment leases and other equipment financing through June 30, 2013. Under the terms of the contract, LIFE is paid a fee equal to the lesser of 1% of gross coal sales or $2 per ton of coal sold with a minimum monthly fee of $25,000 plus expenses. Total management fees and expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $75,000 compared with $87,839 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011. The accrued management fees payable as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011 were $87.839 and $310.000, respectively, included in “Accounts Payable & Accrued Liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Mining Concessions

 

On July 19, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase two coal concessions (Ingeominas Titles GG7-111 and GG7-11522X). As of March 31, 2012, the concessions have been fully paid for and are listed under the Company’s name on the official website of the Colombian mining authority, Ingeominas. Under the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the sellers a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by our Company from these concessions.

 

On October 20, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an additional coal concession (Ingeominas title FLG-092) that form the North Block Mining Project. The Company has paid to the seller $315,000 and owes an additional $1,200,000 payable in six payments of $200,000 every three months beginning August 2011. The first such payment was made in installments with the last occurring on January 13, 2012. In addition, the Company has paid to Ingeominas $114,502 which represents past due governmental fees owed by the seller. Also, as per the terms of the contract, the Company will pay to the sellers a royalty payment of $2.00 per ton of coal extracted under the term of the concession. This royalty payment applies to all coal mined by our Company from this concession.

 

On February 11, 2011, the Company deposited $100,000 on three additional coal concessions in the state of Boyaca, Colombia. The aggregate purchase price of these concessions was $2.50 million, $666,585 of which has been paid as of March 31, 2012. An amount of $222,277 was due upon the Colombian Institute of Mining and Geology’s approval of a third mining license; this was paid on January 15, 2012. An amount of $111,138 is due upon the earlier of the recording and publication of the assignment in the National Mining Register or 90 days following the prior payment and the balance of $1,500,000 is payable in three payments of approximately $500,000 every 6 months thereafter. There will also be an ongoing royalty payment to the sellers of $2.75 per ton of coal mined.

 

19
 

 

The Company does not owe future concession payments on Ruku and Boavita.

 

All the mining concessions are in the exploration phase. While in the exploration and construction phase, royalties to the government are owed based on the applicable minimum wage rate times the number of hectares. Once the concessions enter the production phase, royalties owed to the government are equal to 5% of production. Each concession has a 30 year production phase, less the total time spent in exploration and construction.

 

Management and Services Agreement with LIFE

 

On August 3, 2010, we entered into a Management and Services Agreement with LIFE Power & Fuels LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and one of our principal shareholders, pursuant to which LIFE agreed to provide certain corporate,  financial, and merger and acquisition advisory services and assistance with securing equipment leases and other equipment financing.  In exchange for its services, LIFE is entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to the lesser of 1% of our gross coal sales or $2 per ton of coal sold by us; provided, however, that such monthly fee shall not be less than $25,000.  The term of the Management Agreement is initially 36 months, but the agreement shall automatically renew for successive 12-month periods unless it is terminated by either party in writing. Upon termination, and for a period of five years thereafter, LIFE will continue to be entitled to receive an amount equal to the lesser of 1% of our gross coal sales or $2 per ton of coal sold by us from all mines and coking facilities on concessions acquired or coke projects initiated during the term of the Management Agreement. During the initial term of this agreement, we have agreed to pay a minimum of $900,000 to LIFE.

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company and its subsidiary in Colombia lease their current office facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire in 2016. The future minimum lease payments under these operating leases are as follows:

 

   Bogota   San Anselmo     
   Quantum         
   Operating   Operating   Total 
   Lease   Lease   All Leases 
Year ending December 31:               
2013   197,377    5,130    202,507 
2014   197,377    -    197,377 
2015   197,377    -    197,377 
2016   115,136    -    115,136 
Total  $707,266   $5,130   $712,396 

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company is subject to certain environmental and regulatory obligations which will require the Company to restore the mine properties after the mining has been completed. Three months prior to the expected date of completion, the Company is required to provide a plan for restoration and abandonment and estimate its cost. The Company believes that an asset retirement obligation as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is not material as the Company is still in the exploration phase. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate this obligation.

 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 15, 2012, which represents the date the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were issued. The following subsequent events occurred as of such date:

 

20
 

 

The Company resumed production at its Rukú Mining Complex on April 17, 2012 after being temporarily halted in February due to vandalism.

 

On December 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of Colombia Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a compensation plan whereby each non-employee board member would receive restricted stock in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for each year of service based upon the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The RSUs would be granted on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. The vesting period for the RSUs would expire at end of the director’s term which would normally be the next annual meeting of shareholders. On January 3, 2012, RSUs for the partial year were granted to each non-employee director. The amount awarded to each non-employee director for the partial year was set at $50,000 or 35,700 RSUs, for a total of 214,200 RSUs. These RSUs were awarded to each of the six non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which excluded Mr. Stovash, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also a member of the Board of Directors. These partial year RSU awards vested effective as of the date of the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders held on May 8, 2012 (the “Annual Meeting”). In addition, effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting RSUs representing 83,333 shares each were awarded to all five remaining non-employee directors of the Company, which excluded Mr. Wolff who did not stand for reelection to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. A total of 416,665 RSUs were granted and will vest as of the date of the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders.

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of our balance sheets and statements of income. This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and our interim financial statements and accompanying notes to these financial statements.

 

Forward-Looking Statement Notice

 

The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, need for financing, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, ability to retain and recruit personnel, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “plans,” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy or trends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements.

 

Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this report. While it is not possible to identify all factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the cyclicality of the coal industry, global economic and political conditions, global productive capacity, customer inventory levels, changes in commodity pricing, changes in product costing, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, competitive technology positions and operating interruptions (including, but not limited to, labor disputes, leaks, fires, explosions, unscheduled downtime, transportation interruptions, war and criminal or terrorist activities). Mining operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air and water quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls, all of which are subject to change and are becoming more stringent and costly to comply with. Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those expected. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Description of Business

  

We currently engage in the business of acquiring and developing metallurgical coal mines in the Republic of Colombia, South America. We own and control mining concessions in the provinces of Boyaca and Santander which were selected because of their large metallurgical coal resources and their location near the Magdalena River, which is expected in the near future to be a major shipping route for our coal to the export markets.

 

Colombian coal is recognized worldwide for its high-heat-value, low-ash and low-sulfur contents. Investment and development of sustainable coal mining is an important priority for the Colombian government; coal is the nation’s second largest export item after oil. In Colombia, the state owns all hydrocarbon reserves. Private companies operate coal mines under concession contracts with the state. Colombia is the world’s tenth largest producer and fourth largest exporter of coal, with an estimated 7 billion metric tons (“MT”) of recoverable reserves and 17 billion MT of potential reserves.

 

Business Developments

 

During the first quarter of 2012, we had the following major developments:

 

·On February 2, 2012, our Colombian subsidiary entered into a contract with Dairo Ruben Herrera Perez and Ariel Salcedo Leal in connection with the assignment of mining concession contract FI7-081. The concession is adjacent to our Rukú Mining Complex which began production in December 2011 and was producing approximately 1,800 tons per month earlier this year before it was shut down temporarily, and will result in more efficient access to Rukú’s coal resources and ultimately, lower operating costs and improved safety. The concession has 17 hectares (42 acres) and metallurgical coal resources similar in quality to Rukú’s. Its permit, FI7-081, is currently in the construction or preoperative phase. Compensation for the property includes $167, 079 paid at signing of the agreement on February 3, 2012 and an additional $111,386 due upon governmental approval of the concession’s transfer to our Colombian subsidiary which we anticipate later this year.
·On February 25, 2012 the Company published a mineral resource report on Ruku written pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects in Canada. The detailed report describes the location, geology, mining operations and other aspects of Ruku. The complete report can be found on our website www.colombiaenergyresources.com.
·The Company resumed production at its Rukú Mining Complex on April 17, 2012 after being temporarily halted in February due to vandalism.

 

Exploration

 

Exploration of our properties for purposes of mine planning and resource evaluation is and will continue to be a high priority. The initial exploration work in each area has been concentrated along coal seam outcrops and in mine workings at Boavita and Rukú. At Otanche, general exploration drilling has been underway in part of the area for over one year.

 

Exploration Stage Company

 

We are considered an exploration stage company under the SEC criteria since we have not demonstrated the existence of proven or probable reserves at any of our properties. Accordingly, as required by the SEC guidelines and U.S. GAAP for companies in the exploratory stage, substantially all of our investment in mining properties to date have been expensed and therefore do not appear as assets on our balance sheet. We therefore also expensed exploration and development expenditures in the first quarter of 2012 related to our properties. Certain expenditures, such as expenses for mining or other general purpose equipment, may be capitalized, subject to our evaluation of the possible impairment of the asset.

 

Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our net loss was $3,040,259 compared to $2,985,177 for the same period in 2011. Expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012, consisted of $3,291,274 in general and administrative expense. There was $148,897 in net interest and other income which represents the interest expense as well as the foreign currency transaction gain.. Expenses during the same period in 2011 consisted of $1,201,272 in net interest expense and $1,875,905 in general and administrative expenses. Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was ($0.15) compared to ($0.13) in the three months ended March 31, 2011, based on weighted averages of 25,241,457 and 23,530,570 shares outstanding during the respective periods. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $3,692,880 and $2,985,177 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively.

 

22
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2012, we had $7,371,246 in cash and $5,191,850 in working capital. At March 31, 2012, we also had total liabilities of $7,549,012. We anticipate funding our operation expenses with additional financings of debt and/or equity securities.

 

As of March 31, 2012, our total assets were $21,517,593 consisting of cash, prepaid expenses and mining concessions. The decrease in assets since December 31, 2012 is principally due to a decrease in cash used to fund ongoing operations and acquisitions.

 

Management anticipates that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional capital to fund our operating expenses and anticipated growth. Our operating losses have been funded through the issuance of equity securities and borrowings. We will need additional funding in order to continue our business operations. While we continually look for additional financing sources, in the current economic environment, the procurement of outside funding is extremely difficult and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or, if available, that such financing will be at a price that will be acceptable to us. Failure to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital would have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve our longer-term business objectives, and would adversely affect our ability to continue operating as a going concern.

 

Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements

 

There are 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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The following are the Companies critical accounting policies and estimates:

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, which include ten mining concessions in the states of Santander and Boyaca Colombia and construction in progress, are stated at cost. Mining concessions will be amortized using the units-of-production method based upon recoverable proven and probable reserves of the mine and when the Company commences operation. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset of 5 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and costs of significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.

 

23
 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events that trigger a test for recoverability include material adverse changes in projected revenues and expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs

 

We account for mineral exploration costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 932, Extractive Activities. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures to acquire new mines (e.g. purchase of mining concessions), to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and will be amortized on a units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share are presented in accordance with the provisions of the ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC No. 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

 

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain positions based upon the provisions of ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company accounts for interest and penalties generated by income tax contingencies as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee requisite service period, which is generally four years. The Company’s stock compensation is generally accounted for as an equity instrument.

 

ASC No. 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
