Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

JayHawk Energy, Inc. (the Company or JayHawk) and its wholly owned subsidiary, is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, production and sale of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids primarily from conventional reservoirs within North America.  The Company incorporated in Colorado on April 5, 2004 as Bella Trading Company, Inc.  During the third quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company changed management and entered the oil and gas business, and ceased all activity in retail jewelry.  On June 21, 2007, the Company changed its name to JayHawk Energy, Inc.  Since then the Company has devoted its efforts principally to the raising of capital, organizational infrastructure development, the acquisition of oil and gas properties and exploration activities.  To date, the Company has acquired three properties, the Uniontown in Kansas, the Crosby in North Dakota, and Girard in Kansas.  The Company also formed a wholly owned subsidiary to transport natural gas in Kansas called JayHawk Gas Transportation Corporation.  The Company has subsequently abandoned the Uniontown property in Kansas.  

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2012.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary JayHawk Gas Transportation Company after elimination of the intercompany accounts and transactions.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows.  As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $19,352,781 and net loss of $937,891 for the six months ended March 31, 2012, and as of that date the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,684,435.  Achievement of the Company's objectives will be dependent upon the ability to obtain additional financing, to locate profitable energy properties and generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and control costs.  The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and attaining additional commercial production.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists.  The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets nor the implications of associated bankruptcy costs should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods.  Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions and estimates relate to asset impairments, proved and unproved properties, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation, income taxes and derivatives.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material effect on the Company's reported financial position and results of operations.

Income or Loss Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities.

The dilutive effect of convertible and outstanding securities as of March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, would be as follows:

				March 31, 2012		March 31, 2011
	Stock Options			2,040,000		2,040,000
	Convertible debt			23,279,993		8,924,998
	Warrants			4,999,113		4,999,113
		Total Possible Dilution		30,319,106		15,964,111

At March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the March 31, 2011 financial statements in order to conform to the 2012 presentation.  These reclassifications have no effect on net loss, total assets or accumulated deficit as restated except as otherwise described in Note 12 (Correction Of An Error In Previously Issued Financial Statements).

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

Changes in accounting principle are reported through retrospective application of the new accounting principle to all prior periods. Errors in the financial statements of a prior period discovered subsequent to their issuance are reported as a prior-period adjustment restating the prior period.  As described in Note 12, financial information included for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 has been restated.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05").  This standard will require entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income.  The option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated.  The new requirements are generally effective for public entities in fiscal years (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2011.  Management does not believe ASU 2011-05 will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting guidance is issued by the FASB that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date.  If not discussed, management believe that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The table below sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, and the fair value calculation input hierarchy that the Company has determined has applied to each asset and liability category.

NOTE 4 - UNPROVED PROPERTIES AND IMPAIRMENT  

The total of the Company's investment in unproved properties at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 consists of the following capitalized costs, respectively:

				March 31, 2012		September 30, 2011
	Name
	Kansas Girard Project			1,404,604		1,403,444
		Less: accumulated amortization		(652,999)		(579,999)
	Net investment in Girard Project			751,605		823,445
	North Dakota Project			78,135		78,135
	Net investment in North Dakota Project			78,135		78,135
	Total Unproved Oil and Gas Properties		$	829,740	$	901,580

Abandonment of Uniontown:  In 2008, management made a review of the portfolio of leases acquired in the Uniontown transaction of July 2007 and decided, based on geology and proximity to the Company's pipeline, to permit only approximately one-third of the original leases acquired and allow the remainder to expire without renewal. Given the Company's inability at that time to fund development of any acreage, justification existed at the time to abandon those properties.  The abandonment was estimated at two-thirds, 67 percent, of the original investment.  Further evaluation by management during the year ended September 30, 2011 indicated the capital required to develop the Uniontown Project exceeded the Company's ability to fund the project and any capital raised would be better served being deployed on other opportunities. Thus, the remainder of the leases expired without renewal and the Company recognized an additional abandonment loss of $1,020,479 on the Uniontown project for the year ended September 30, 2011.

NOTE 5 - PROVED PROPERTIES AND IMPAIRMENT  

Net capitalized costs are comprised of the following; detailed by property:

During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company impaired certain previously capitalized non-saleable assets of $1,301,422 at the Crosby, North Dakota property.

For the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company performed an analysis to determine whether the carrying amounts in its financial statements exceeded the net present value of the reserve estimates for the Crosby, North Dakota property.  Management determined that the net values reflected in the financial statements did not exceed the net discounted present value of the reserves estimated by the independent reserve engineer. Management determined an impairment exists on other Crosby property. The impairment write-down was recognized at $280,963 for the year ended September 30, 2011.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As discussed in Note 8, the Company entered into three separate issuances of convertible debentures, dated December 14, 2009, April 23, 2010 and October 20, 2010, which contained provisions allowing holders of the debentures to convert outstanding debt to shares of the Company's common stock. The debentures contain ‘down-round’ provisions which call for the debt conversion and warrant exercise prices to be reduced based on future issues of debt or equity with more favorable provisions.  Management has determined that these provisions cause the conversion options and warrants to require derivative liability accounting.  As such, management has valued them at fair value at the date of issuance and bifurcated from the host instruments.  

The debentures are convertible at any time after the original issue date into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, determined by dividing the amount to be converted by a conversion price as of March 31, 2012, of $0.05 per share or an aggregate of 23,279,993 shares.  Additionally common share purchase warrants were issued, expiring 42 months from the original issue date and permit the holders two exercisable options.  The warrants were exercisable by purchase of the Company’s common stock for cash, or alternatively, in a cashless exercise, the number of shares being determined in accordance with a predetermined formula based on the Company’s then current stock price.

Conversion option derivative

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of conversion options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions and the associated revaluation range of assumptions over the past two years:

				Revaluation Ranges
Risk-free interest rate				0.01% to 1.60%
Expected dividend rate				-
Expected term				.21 years to 3 years
Expected volatility				120.1% to 184%
Per unit fair value of conversion option derivative liability				$0.006 to $0.90

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

At March 31, 2012, the associated debentures have matured and are in default.  Management has estimated the remaining life of the conversion option to be 3 months.  Inputs for the Black-Scholes model calculating the unit fair value of conversion option, the Company utilized volatility at March 31, 2012 of 216.5%, 3 month estimated life, a risk-free rate of 0.02%, conversion price of $0.05 and fair market value of the share price of $0.04 per share.

Below is detail of the conversion option liability balance for the six months ended March 31, 2012:

				March 31, 2012
Beginning balance at September 30, 2011				$                    286,498
	Change in value of conversion option liability resulting from extinguishment of debt			763,718
	Revaluation of conversion option liability resulting from conversion of debentures			(71,383)
	Net change in fair value of conversion option liability			(557,899)
Ending balance				$                     459,684
Conversion option shares outstanding at March 31, 2012				23,279,993
	Weighted average fair value per unit			$                       0.0197
Ending balance				$                     459,684

Warrant derivative

For periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions and the associated  revaluation range of assumptions on designated event dates over the past two years:

				Revaluation Ranges
Risk-free interest rate				0.25% to 1.70%
Expected dividend rate				-
Expected term				3 years to 3.5 years

NOTE 7 - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company has identified asset retirement obligations at the Girard, Kansas and Crosby, North Dakota operating sites.  These retirement obligations are determined based on the estimated cost to comply with abandonment regulations established by the Kansas Corporation Commission and the State of North Dakota.  The Company's engineers have estimated the cost, in today's dollars, to comply with these regulations.  These estimates have been projected out to the anticipated retirement date 12 to 18 years in the future, at an assumed inflation rate of 1.5 percent.  The anticipated future cost of remediation efforts in North Dakota, and Kansas, are $204,685, and $281,547, respectively.  These amounts were discounted back at an assumed interest rate of 10 percent, to arrive at a net present value of the obligation. The amount of the annual increase in the obligation is charged to "accretion expense" and for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively,  was computed to be $8,521 and $7,746, respectively.

The following table summarizes the change in the asset retirement obligation for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, 10% convertible debentures with a face value of $1,500,000.  The first tranche of the total financing, with a face value of $900,000, was issued during the first quarter ended December 31, 2009.  In April 2010, additional debentures with a face value of $600,000 were issued.  All of the debentures have a two year maturity and were issued with attached common stock purchase warrants.  The effective interest rate on the debentures is 10% per annum.  The debentures are secured by all assets of the Company except those specifically excluded in the agreement which include all Kansas properties and related assets.

The debentures are convertible at any time after the original issue date into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, determined by dividing the amount to be converted by an initial conversion price of $0.30 per share.  Additionally, attached common share purchase warrants expire 42 months from the original issue date and permit the holders two exercise options.  The warrants were exercisable by purchase of the Company’s common stock for cash at an initial exercise price of $0.45, or alternatively, with respect to the warrants issued in conjunction with the initial $900,000 tranche, in a cashless exercise, the number of shares being determined in accordance with a predetermined formula based on the Company’s then current stock price.   Subsequent to the initial issue date, the initial conversion price of $0.30 per share was amended to $0.18 per share and then $0.12 based on of provisions in the agreements related to equity issuances and issuance of additional convertible debentures described hereafter during the year ended September 30, 2011.  All of the warrants containing cashless exercise provision were fully exercised during the year ended September 30, 2010.

During the year ended September 30, 2010, the holders of the debentures and the common stock purchase warrants associated with the first $900,000 issuance, exercised all 3,000,000 warrants to acquire 2,111,388 shares of the Company’s common stock in two separate cashless exercises on January 6 and January 27, 2010.  Warrants attached to the debentures issued in April 2010 total 2,000,000, do not contain a cashless exercise provision, and remain to be exercised at the election of the debenture holders.

During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors to issue $500,000 of Secured Convertible Debentures.  The debentures provide for interest to be paid quarterly, at the rate of 10% per annum, and are due two years from the issuance date.  The debentures are secured by all assets of the Company except those specifically excluded in the agreement which include all Kansas properties and related assets.

The debentures are convertible at any time after the original issue date into a number of shares of the registrant’s common stock, determined by dividing the amount to be converted by an initial conversion price of $0.18 per share.  In addition to the debentures the purchasers were issued an aggregate of 2,833,113 common share purchase warrants, each having a term of 42 months, expiring April

of 2014, and giving the purchasers the right to purchase the Company’s common shares at an initial exercise price of $0.18 per share. Subsequent to the initial issue date, the initial conversion price of $0.18 per share was amended to $0.12 per share based on provisions in the agreements related to equity issuances and issuance of additional convertible debentures described hereafter during the year ended September 30, 2011.  

Further, the modified conversion price of $0.12 per share was amended to $0.05 per share based on provisions in the agreements related to equity issuances and issuance of additional convertible debentures described hereafter during the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Based upon the fair values as of the original agreement dates of the December 2009 and April 2010 debentures, $1,500,000 was allocated to the common stock purchase warrants and the conversion features resulting in a discount on the debt.  Giving effect to the amortization of the discount, and the conversion of $658,000 in principal conversion for the year ended September 30, 2011, $ nil and $118,625 of the discount remains to be amortized at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.  

Based upon the fair values as of the original agreement dates of the October 2010 debentures, $500,000 was allocated to the common stock purchase warrants and the conversion features resulting in a discount on the debt. Giving effect to the amortization of the discount, and the conversion of $115,000 and $60,000 and the modification of the denture agreement for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and the year ended September 30, 2011, $ nil and $198,000 of the discount remains to be amortized as of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 respectively.  

The 10% interest payable quarterly as per provisions in the debentures may be paid in shares of common stock at the Company's option according to a predetermined formula.  For the six months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, 483,811 and 774,563 common shares were issued, respectively, for interest payable under the debentures.  Interest expense of $64,147 and $86,810 has been included in ‘Interest and financing costs’ in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Interest accrued is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in "Other payables, interest and taxes accrued" of $29,045 and $33,362 at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

The debentures all contain ‘down-round’ provisions which call for the debt conversion and warrant exercise prices to be reduced based on future issues of debt or equity with more favorable provisions.  Management has determined that these provisions cause the conversion options and warrants to require derivative liability accounting.  As such, management has valued at fair value at the date of issuance and bifurcated from the host instruments.  See Note 6.

In all three cases, the entire face amount of the debt issued has been allocated to discount, and is being amortized over the respective term of the debt.

During the six months ended March 31, 2012 and fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, holders of the debt elected to convert $115,000 and $718,000 face amounts of the debt into 958,333 and 4,898,614 shares of common stock, respectively, according to the terms of the agreements. See Note 8.

Giving effect to monthly amortization of the debt discounts and the conversion of debt into shares of common stock, during the six months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively, $204,125 and $412,565, respectively, of debt discount amortization has been posted to the statement of operations.   

On January 9, 2012, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement with the Purchasers.   The maturity date of the 2009 Debentures was extended to March 15, 2012.  Also the conversion price of Debentures issued in the 2009 Transactions and 2010 Transaction was reduced to five cents ($0.05) per share, and the Exercise Price of the Warrants issued in the 2009 Transactions and 2010 Transaction was reduced to five cents ($0.05) per share.  The Company determined that the modification resulted in a substantial change in the terms of the agreements such that recognition of an extinguishment loss is required. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $1,023,417 including write-off of the remaining unamortized debt discount of $171,811 and loss on warrant derivative resulting from exercise price modification of $71,383 at January 9, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company is in default of the terms of the convertible debentures as a result of certain provisions of the agreement.  The December 2009 and April 2010 debentures maturity date of December 14, 2011 has lapsed, causing the default provisions on all debentures including the October 2010 debentures for a total balance of $1,164,000 as of March 31, 2012.

NOTE 10 - BROKER AND SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS

In conjunction with the issuance of the $1,500,000 convertible debentures described in Note 8, 166,000 warrants were issued for services provided in execution of the debentures. As discussed in Note 8, the share purchase and broker warrants are also treated as derivatives.   The warrants were valued at $104,580 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 1.70%, volatility of 165.4%, exercise price of $0.45, current market price of $0.63 per share and an expected life of 3.5 years.  The warrants expire June 14, 2013.  

In conjunction with the issuance of the $500,000 convertible debentures on or about October 26, 2010, described in Note 8, 55,335 warrants were issued for services provided in execution of the debentures.  The warrants were valued at $8,854 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 0.59%, volatility of 159.6%, exercise price of $0.18, current market price of $0.16 per share and an expected life of 3.5 years.  The warrants expire April 26, 2014.

The fair value of the broker warrants were expensed as financing costs.

A summary of the Company's share purchase and broker warrants outstanding at March 31, 2012 is presented as follows:

⁽¹⁾  Provisions allow for a reduction in exercise price based on equity issuances subsequent to warrant issuance.  See Notes 6 and 9.

The Company entered into a Modification Agreement with holders of debentures discussed in Note 8.  The Exercise Price of the warrants issued in the 2010 transaction is reduced to five cents ($0.05) per share effective January 9, 2012.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On July 1, 2008, the Company subleased office space for $1,500 per month from Marlin Property Management, LLC an entity owned by the spouse of the Company's President, CEO and member of the board of directors.  On December 1, 2011, the Company subsequently entered into a four year lease with Marlin Property Management, LLC for $2,500 for office space at an alternate location in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.  For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized $8,500 and $13,000, respectively, in rent expense to the related party.  For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized $4,500 and $9,000 respectively.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAX

The Company did not recognize an income tax benefit or expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.  For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, the Company anticipates an effective income tax rate of 0% due to the availability of net operating losses to offset any income taxes.  

NOTE 13- CORRECTION OF ERROR IN PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As disclosed in the financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011, management has determined that certain errors were contained in the Company's financial statements.

The errors were related to an incorrect application of conversion option derivative and warrant derivative accounting related to convertible debentures entered into by the Company on or about December 14, 2009, April 23, 2010 and October 18, 2010 (Note 8).   As discussed in Note 2, embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings if they can be reliably measured.

Management has also assessed undeveloped properties in both North Dakota and Kansas and determined restatement of financial statements is appropriate for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and prior.   The Uniontown, Kansas project was acquired for $2,200,000 in 2007, and consisted of mineral leases covering approximately 35,000 acres in Bourbon County, KS.  During 2008, it was determined that the Company only actually permitted approximately one-third of the leases it had acquired initially, and therefore recognized an impairment for the remaining two-thirds of the original cost ($1,474,000).  Throughout 2007 and 2008, the Company paid approximately $295,000 to renew these leases, each for a term of three years.  The payments represented acquisition costs, and since the property was not yet in production the leases should not have been subject to amortization but is instead subjected to an annual impairment test.

The adjustments required to appropriately record these adjustments are material to the previously filed financial statements, thus management is restating these financial statements.  The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the corrections.   As discussed in Note 1, certain reclassifications have been made for comparative purposes.

The effects of the Company's previously issued March 31, 2011 statement of operations is as follows:

NOTE 14– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  

On July 1, 2008, the Company leased office space for a period of three years for a fixed monthly rental of $1,500.  On December 1, 2011, the Company leased office space for a period of four years for fixed monthly rental of $2,500.  Accordingly, the Company's commitment to make these lease payments for each successive year is $30,000.

The Company is obligated to pay royalties to holders of oil and natural gas interests in both North Dakota and Kansas operations.  The Company also is obligated to pay working interest holders a pro-rata portion of revenue in oil operations net of shared operating expenses.  The amounts are based on monthly oil and natural gas sales and are charged monthly net of to oil and gas revenue and recognized as "Due to royalty and working interest holders" on the Company's balance sheet.

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  

On April 16, 2012, the Company issued 400,545 shares of common stock in lieu of paying interest with cash, to holders of  convertible debentures described in Note 8.  The interest totaled $20,292 and was issued at the 5-day variable weighted-average price ("VWAP") of $0.051 per share which materially agrees with fair value.

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

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011   

 

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental information presented in our Annual Report for the period ending September 30, 2011, on Form 10-K, and the Forms 8-K and Forms 10-Q issued in the periods subsequent to September 30, 2011.  Certain sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include forward-looking statements concerning trends or events potentially affecting our business.  These statements typically contain words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "probable," "should," "could," "would," or similar words indicating that future outcomes are uncertain.  In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not all such factors, which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Oil and Gas Properties

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Crosby area experienced  improving weather conditions which provided adequate access to four of JayHawk Energy’s five producing wells. By mid-November 2011, the Company was producing at its Burner, Landstrom, Erickson and Schutz wells.  All four wells produced regularly during the quarter just ended, and continue to produce to date of this report.  The Kearney well remains inaccessible due to remnants of the 2011 floods.  

Revenues – For the three months ending March 31, 2012 and 2011, oil revenues reported as JayHawk's net working interest were $158,1966 and $91,890 respectively.  The comparative volume of oil and gas delivered and the average prices received during each of the two respective three month periods of 2012 and 2011, are disclosed in the following table:

			Volumes				Average Prices				Gross Revenue
			2012		2011		2012		2011		2012		2011
	Oil sales (in barrels)		4,004		2,136		$77.75		$75.35		$  311,385		160,977
	Gas sales (in thousand cubic feet)		394		4,364		1.81		2.05		1,109		17,886
	Total gross receipts										$  312,494		178,863
		Less: working and royalty interests									(139,063)		(78,988)
		Less: severance taxes									(15,235)		(7,985)
	Net revenue to JayHawk										$ 158,196		$      91,890

 

Volumes of oil delivered during the three month period ending March 31, 2012 increased by 1,841 barrels (+85%) over the same timeframe in 2011.  This was primarily due to increased production and better transportation access resulting from favorable weather and road conditions January and February 2012 compared to the same months in the prior year.   The Company operated four of five wells in the three months ended March 31, 2012 for an aggregate of 323 production days compared to 110 days producing for the three months ended March 31, 2011.   

Access to the Kearney well continued to be restricted by flood waters during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Management is currently surveying alternate routes to access the well site as the access road continues to be impacted by saturated ground water on and around the road bed.   

Oil Revenues – As commented in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements above, the Company recognizes revenues only to the extent of its net working interest, which is the remainder after deduction of the outside working and royalty interests and the deduction of severance and production taxes.

For the three month period ending March 31, 2012, JayHawk sold a gross 4,004 barrels (Bbls).  Field prices (after delivery charges) fluctuated from a low of $67.12 to a high of $83.22 during the three month period ending March 31, 2012  This production was sold at average prices of $77.75/Bbl.  During the comparable period ending March 31, 2011 the quarterly sales volumes were 2,136 Bbls.  Field prices (after delivery charges) fluctuated from a low of $69.25 to a high of $83.36/Bbl.  Average prices received per barrel of crude oil were $75.35 for the three months ending March 31, 2011.

Gas Revenues – During the fourth quarter ending September 30, 2011, the Company’s joint venture partner failed to exercise an option that would have given WHL Midcon, LLC an 85 percent working interest in the Girard properties.  By failing to exercise, WHL Midcon’s revenue percentage fell from 42.5 to 35% beginning in July 2011.  As well, under the terms of the previous joint venture agreement, the joint venture partner was responsible for all operating expenses related to the Girard properties.  Beginning in July 2011, Jayhawk Energy became responsible for 100% of operating expenses related to the Girard properties.  As WHL Midcon, LLC continues to maintain oil operations in the Girard vicinity, Jayhawk continues to share some contract employees and overhead expenses pro-rata with WHL Midcon, LLC.  Consequently, production expenses in Kansas have increased.

Prices received for gas production continue to remain low. As such, production was temporarily shut-in in anticipation of natural gas prices strengthening.   

Production and Operating Expenses – Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $721,028 and $814,605, respectively.  The expenses are segregated as follows:

			Three months ended								Three months ended
			March 31, 2012								March 31, 2011
			Crosby, ND		Girard, KS		G&A		Total		Total
Direct Regional Costs		$	67,851	$	10,447	$	-	$	78,298	$	33,387
Depreciation, depletion and amortization			84,123		73,036		1,118		158,277		175,952
General and administrative			-		-		218,699		218,699		261,729
Accretion of asset retirement obligation			1,794		2,267		-		3,873		3,873
Other net (income) and expense			-		-		679,024		679,024		498,195
	Totals	$	153,768	$	59,908	$	814,547	$	1,141,553	$	973,136

Total production expenses for the North Dakota oil operations were $92,248 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  These expenses are 4.4% higher as a percentage of revenue than incurred in the comparative periods ending March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of repairs and maintenance expenses associated with restarting the wells after a prolonger period of non-production.  Other expense increased over the comparable period due to a loss of $102,514 on the sale of equipment no longer utilized in production and sold as surplus to generate cash flow.  All other expenses decreased over the prior year as a result of ongoing cost-cutting initiatives.

Relative to the Company’s Kansas natural gas activities, throughout the three month period ending March 31, 2012, in accordance with the joint operating agreement lapsing, JayHawk will bear the responsibility for costs associated with the operations, and, in turn will derive a higher percentage of revenue  for that responsibility.  This accounts for the reduction in production costs reflected between the comparable three month period ending March 31, 2012 and 2011.  

Production Expenses – include direct costs and expenses such as field labor, fuel, power, well repair and maintenance, and saltwater disposal.  The direct production expenses are reported net of amounts charged to our non-operating partners for their working interest share of applicable costs and expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses – include the cost of head office administration and the salaries and wages paid senior management and administrative staff.  A comparative analysis of the general and administrative expense for the three month period ending March 31, 2012 and 2011 is provided in the following table:

			Three months ended		Three months ended
			March 31, 2012		March 31, 2011
Compensation and payroll taxes		$	64,775	$	190,824
Legal, professional and consulting fees			39,930		29,561
Audit and public company expense			85,346		22,609
Insurance			14,377		4,589
All other corporate general and administrative			14,271		14,146
		$	218,699	$	261,729

Management has taken appropriate and necessary actions to reduce general and administrative expenses and will continue to seek further cost reductions.  Total general and administrative expense has decreased $43,030 (16.4%) during the three month period ending March 31, 2012 compared to the prior year.  Compensation and payroll expense has decreased $126,049, attributable to stock

options expensed, and reduction in payroll expense by not replacing the salary of the Company’s former president in the comparable period ending March 31, 2011.   Audit and public company expense increased $62,737 as a result of professional fees recognized in the quarter related to prior year audit activity, related to the restatement of prior year financials as described in Note 17 to the financial statements.  Management does not anticipate a recurrence of similar audit fees in the current fiscal year or future periods.  

Legal, professional and consulting fees increased by $10,369 over the comparable period ending March 31, 2011 as a result of engaging Cynergy Advisors to provide Company management recommendations in connection with opportunities for capital raises, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, sale or trade of a working interest and or other business combinations or divestitures. 

Insurance expense increased $9,788 over the prior year due to rise in annual premium costs.  

Other income (expense) – for the three month period ending March 31, 2012 and 2011, are detailed below.  Interest expense, discount amortization, financing costs and the non-cash costs of debt conversion and derivatives are more fully discussed in Note 8 to the Notes to the Financial Statements.

		Three months ended			Three months ended
		March 31, 2012			March 31, 2011
Interest and financing costs		$	(34,470)	$	(43,687)
Loss on initial recording of derivatives			-
Gain (loss ) on extinguishment and conversion of debt			(935,529)		(2,283)
Gain (loss) on change in fair value of conversion option derivative			361,702		(96,194)
Gain on change in fair value of warrant derivative			(70,720)		(128,313)
Amortization of discount on debentures					(227,718)
		$	(679,017)	$	(502,068)

The Company incurred interest and financing costs of $34,471 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $96,568.  This reduction was due to a lower debt load and reducing interest-bearing vendor payables over the past twelve months.  

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company modified the terms of its debentures (Note 8 and 11) and warrants (Note 9), changing the conversion and exercise price from $0.12 to $0.05 per share whereby the fair value of the options and warrants were re-price to their fair market trading value.  This resulted in a non-cash loss on conversion derivative of $763,718 as a result of additional aggregate conversion units.  While this loss reversed favorably during revaluation at the end of the quarter, the total non-cash loss on conversion derivative of $402,016 and warrant derivative of $70,720 negatively impacted the financial results for the quarter most significantly.  

Cash Flows, Liquidity and Capital Resources  

As of March 31, 2012 current assets totaled $128,790 consisting of cash, $42,622, accounts receivable, $78,412, and prepaid expenses, $7,756.  At the same time the Company's current liabilities were $2,813,225.  This working capital shortage of $2,684,435 impairs the Company's ability to continue operating as a going concern.  Future success and independence will be dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain sufficient additional financing and upon achieving profitable future operations.  At this time there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives.  Management is seeking joint venture, merger, acquisition and other means of financing to grow the Company.

Net cash used by operating activities totaled $9,130 for the six months ending March 31, 2012, compared to $321,594 used by operating activities for the six month period ending  March  31, 2011.

Net cash used by investing activities totaled $1,160 during the six months ending March 31, 2012 as compared to  $71,215 in the same period ending March 31, 2011.

Net cash used by financing activities totaled $ nil during the six months ending March 31, 2012 as compared to net cash provided of  $407,442 in the same period ending March 31, 2011.

The net change in cash is the sum of cash used in operating activities and provided by investing and financing activities, or a net decrease of $10,290 which is an increase in the Company's cash balance of $52,912 existing at September 30, 2011, to the cash balance at March 31, 2012 of $42,622.
