Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

BCM Energy Partners, Inc. (the “Company” or “BCM”) is an acquisition and development company focused on sub-scale, undercapitalized oil and gas assets in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. The Company reviews opportunities nationwide through select partnerships. Professionals from the energy and financial industries formed the Company in late 2007 in an effort to capitalize on smaller oil and gas opportunities that are frequently overlooked by traditional energy capital sources.

 

After a thorough review of the market during 2008 and 2009, the Company closed on its first acquisition of University Field (East Baton Rouge Parish, LA) in July 2010. BCM acquired Aeon Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AEOH) through a reverse merger in December 2010. The Company completed its third acquisition of Luling field (Guadalupe County, TX) in an all-stock transaction in January 2012. At present, the Company is evaluating over ten acquisition targets representing substantial value in proven reserves and related production revenues.

 

The Company’s business model is built on the identification, acquisition and development of distressed or undervalued oil and gas assets. BCM is able to attract and acquire proven producing oil and gas reserves with significant behind-pipe opportunities due to management’s regional expertise, technical depth and expansive network. This model allows BCM to consistently increase revenues and steadily decrease operating expenses (as a percentage of revenues), which will benefit shareholders through EBITDA expansion and proven reserves values.

 

BCM is then able to conduct thorough reserve engineering and geologic reviews to book proven reserves in an effort to support an attractive market valuation relative to dollars spent on acquisitions and development.

 

BCM has an active pipeline of deals similar to University Field and Luling Field and will continue to execute this model of effective acquisition, regional consolidation and field development (supported by enhanced oil recovery technologies) to realize greater reserve valuations and production.

 

The BCM value proposition is highly scalable due to current and pending partnerships with veteran industry teams and its local operations-based model, where BCM is able to effectively manage an increasing number of assets in partnership with contract operators and their affiliates.

 

The current price, economic and credit environment in the U.S. oil and gas industry creates a series of uniquely timed opportunities for BCM Energy Partners, Inc. to acquire proven, producing oil and gas assets at historically low prices.

 

The Company’s common shares are currently quoted on the OTC Pink market of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the trading symbol “BCME.”

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,682,954 and $2,602,022, respectively and accumulated deficit of $508,235 and $139,229, respectively. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Management expects that the current funds will be sufficient to continue operations through December of 2012. Management is currently seeking additional funds and several interested parties have entered into discussion with us regarding additional investment in our company via a private placement stock sale. These discussions are ongoing and there can be no assurances that they will result in a transaction. There can be no assurances that sufficient funding, if any at all, will be raised by these or future discussions of such investments will be reasonable. Management continues to meet with representatives of private and public sources of funding and will continue to do so in the coming months.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

7
 

  

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on June 8, 2012. The results of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated balance sheets include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Reverse Merger Accounting

 

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). BCM Energy Partners, LLC. is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and Aeon Holdings, Inc. is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of BCM Energy Partners, LLC. and are recorded at the historical cost basis of BCM Energy Partners, LLC., and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and BCM Energy Partners, LLC., historical operations of BCM Energy Partners, LLC. and operations of the Company from the closing date of the Merger. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had cash $27,143 and $3,899, respectively and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash. Cash is deposited with a high quality financial institution and did not exceed the FDIC limits as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

There is a ready market for the sale of crude oil. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the full calendar year in 2010, our gas field and our producing wells sold their respective oil production to one purchaser for each field or well. However, because alternate purchasers of oil and natural gas are readily available at similar prices, we believe that the loss of any of our purchasers would not have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of short-term debt also approximates fair value since their terms are similar to those in the lending market for comparable loans with comparable risks. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

8
 

  

The fair value accounting guidance defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” The definition is based on an exit price rather than an entry price, regardless of whether the entity plans to hold or sell the asset. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of related parties notes payable because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.

 

Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method

 

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain payroll, asset retirement costs, other internal costs, and interest incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, are capitalized. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied to reduce the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

 

Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (FASB ASC 410), are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, are limited to the total of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of unevaluated properties. The estimated future net cash flows at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were determined using a price estimate of $80. Under certain specific conditions, companies could elect to use subsequent prices for determining the estimated future net cash flows. The use of subsequent pricing is no longer allowed. See “New Pronouncements” below for additional detail regarding the new rules. There are many factors, including global events that may influence the production, processing, marketing and price of oil and natural gas. A reduction in the valuation of oil and natural gas properties resulting from declining prices or production could adversely impact depletion rates and capitalized cost limitations. Capitalized costs associated with properties that have not been evaluated through drilling or seismic analysis, including exploration wells in progress at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are excluded from the unit-of-production amortization. Exclusions are adjusted annually based on drilling results and interpretative analysis.

 

Other Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Other property and equipment are recorded at cost. Cost of repairs and maintenance are expensed as they are incurred. Major repairs that extend the useful life of equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the gains or losses realized on the disposition are reflected in operations. The Company uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation for financial reporting purposes.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

Our computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., warrants and options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted (loss) per common share is the same for periods in which the company reported an operating loss because all warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

 

9
 

  

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of crude oil using the sales method of accounting. Under this method, the Company recognizes revenues when oil is collected and title transfers from the Company to an oil purchaser.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the FASB Interpretation on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The interpretation prescribes a measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, the interpretation provides guidance regarding uncertain tax positions relating to derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company will classify any interest and penalties associated with income taxes as interest expense.

 

We periodically evaluate the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent the future realization of the deferred tax assets is not judged to be more likely than not. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carry-forward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, based on the weight of available evidence, including cumulative losses in recent years and expectations of future taxable income, we determined that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance equivalent to 100% of its cumulative deferred tax assets. Future changes in uncertain tax positions are not expected to have an impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance. We will continue to classify income tax penalties and interest, if any, as part of interest and other expenses in its statements of operations. We have incurred no interest or penalties as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adopted

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements are presented separately. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of revised Level 3 disclosure requirements, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are not required in the year of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statement and related disclosures.

Note 4 – Convertible Notes and Derivative Liability

 

On February 10, 2009, the Company issued $180,975 of convertible notes payable to two different note holders, bearing interest at 6% per annum, requiring payment of principal and interest monthly. Any outstanding balance plus accrued interest could be converted into the Company’s common stock at a 20% discount to the market at the date of conversion. The conversion features were analyzed under FASB Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Bifurcation of the conversion option from the host contract and accounting for it separately as a derivative may have been necessary if (a) the conversion feature was not clearly and closely related to the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument is not accounted for at fair value, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would qualify as a derivative instrument. To determine if the conversion option was indexed to the Company’s own stock, the Company applied the two step approach as defined by ASC 815-40. In assessing step 2, by evaluating the conversion instrument’s settlement provisions, the Company concluded that, pursuant to the guidance, the number of shares into which the note was convertible was not fixed and, accordingly, the Company determined that the conversion feature of the note met the criteria of an embedded derivative and the conversion feature of the debt needed to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative. The debt did not meet the definition of “conventional convertible debt” because the number of shares which could have been issued upon the conversion of the debt was not fixed. Therefore, the conversion feature, pursuant to ASC 815-40, was accounted for as a derivative liability. Pursuant to this guidance, the Company adjusts the carrying value of the conversion feature to its fair value at each reporting date.

 

On December 8, 2010, the Company issued 2,520,000 shares of common stock to settle one of these notes in the amount of $80,975. This settlement of debt reduced the carrying value of the derivative liability to $49,665 and reduced the carrying value of convertible notes to $100,000 for the period ended December 31, 2010.

 

The Company calculated the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities for the period ended as of March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010:

 

Weighted average volatility 80.00% - 82.00%
Expected dividends 0.00%
Expected term 1.0 year
Risk-free rate 0.29% to 0.30%

 

These derivative liabilities have been measured in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The valuation assumptions are classified within Level 2 inputs.

 

These instruments were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, the fair value of any asset, any liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting, and, as such, all future changes in the fair value will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the instruments are paid down or converted.

 

The $100,000 convertible note payable is payable in sixteen monthly installments with the first installment due on May, 2009. As of March 31, 2011, the Company is in default due to nonpayment, however there is no default provision and the note holder can convert the note into common stock of the Company with notice. As of March 31, 2011, the note holder has not converted and the Company has recorded the derivative liability of $48,875.

 

11
 

  

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized income of $790 based on the change in fair value of the derivative liability associated with the note payable in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

The derivative liability has been measured in accordance with fair value measurements, as defined by GAAP. The valuation assumptions are classified within level 2 inputs. The following table represents the Company’s derivative liability activity for the embedded conversion feature.

 

December 31, 2010  $49,665 
Mark to market adjustment to fair value at March 31, 2011   (790)
March 31, 2011  $48,875

Note 10 – Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss-carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that, some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $505,650 and $139,229, respectively available to offset taxable income in future years, which commence expiring in year ended 2013. Pursuant to ASC 740, the potential benefit of the net operating loss carry forward has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements because the Company could not be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.

 

The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses in the event of an “ownership change” of a corporation. Accordingly, a company’s ability to use net operating losses may be limited as prescribed under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“IRC Section 382”). Events which may cause limitations in the amount of the net operating losses that the company may use in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. There have been transactions that have changed the Company’s ownership structure since inception that may have resulted in one or more ownership changes as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

 

Given the Company’s history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is more-likely-than-not the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carry forwards. Current standards require that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company is subject to United States federal and state income taxes at an approximate aggregate rate of 43%. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the United States federal statutory rate compared to the Company’s income tax expense as reported is as follows:

 

13
 

  

   For the Three
Months Ended
March 31, 2011
   For the Year Ended
December 31, 2010
 
Federal statutory rate   34.00%   34.00%
State tax, net of federal benefit   9.00%   9.00%
Valuation allowance   (43.00)%   (43.00)%
Effective income tax rate   0.00%   0.00%

 

Accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Upon the attainment of taxable income by the Company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit associated with the use of the carry forwards and will recognize a deferred tax asset at that time.

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   March 31, 2011   December 31, 2010 
Net operating loss carry-forward  $218,541   $55,672 
Valuation allowance   (218,541)   (55,672)
Net deferred income tax asset  $0   $0 

 

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change that cause a change in management’s judgment about the reliability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

 

Note 11 - Contingent Liabilities

 

On August 25, 2008, the Company filed a lawsuit against Incentaclick Media Group Inc. (the “Plaintiff”) in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is claiming negligence and breach of contract due to failure to provide services as stipulated under an agreement between the parties that had a term of 18 months commencing December 2006. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid a monthly fee of $15,000 for custom website search engine optimization services. However, the Company claims that such services were never provided. Beginning December 2007, and for the remaining term of the contract, the monthly fee was reduced to $7,500. On July 28, 2008, the Company received a demand letter for payment of the remaining $67,500 outstanding under the agreement. The Company proposed a settlement, which was rejected, and the Plaintiff counter sued for breach of contract, claiming damages of $67,500. On September 19, 2008, the parties settled, and the Company agreed to pay $55,000 payable in 16 monthly payments of $3,437 starting September 30, 2008. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has not made any settlement payments to the Plaintiff. The entire $55,000 liability is recorded in accounts payable as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The entire transactions were not completed and Green Star Energies demanded for the 9,000,000 restricted shares. This case remains in preliminary stages and trial date for the case is set on December 3, 2012. BCM Energy Partners, LLC believes that the claim asserted by Green Star Energies, Inc. is without merit and will continue its defense of the claim.

Introduction

 

The following is a discussion of the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2011, and results of operations of the Company as of and for the period ended March 31, 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements of the Company and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ending December 31, 2010.

 

Overview

 

During the period ended March 31, 2011, the Company’s principal business was the acquisition and management of oil and gas properties. During the period ending March 31, 2011, the Company had produced 2,679 barrels of oil and $212,361 in gross revenues, from the sale of oil produced by University Field, and had begun discussions with several potential sellers of oil and gas properties.

 

The Company’s Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue to acquire oil and gas properties or obtain necessary financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. At March 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,682,954 and had accumulated losses of $508,235. The Company’s Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s common shares are currently quoted on the OTC Pink market of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the trading symbol “BCME.”

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010.

 

Revenues

 

The Company sold 2,679 barrels of oil and $212,361 in gross revenues, from the sale of oil produced by University Field for the period ending March 31, 2011. The Company did not generate any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Operating Expenses

 

We had total operating expenses of $575,383for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company had no operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is attributable to the operation and related management of University Field, in addition to an increase in our total employees and general corporate growth related to our merger with Aeon Holdings.

 

Our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of$575,383 and were mainly consisted of $292,652 in professional fees and $188,518 in general and administrative expenses and $36,857 in lease operating expenses. We recorded no operating expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2010.

 

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of $369,006 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was an increase in net loss of $369,006 from zero net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2011, we had working capital deficit of $2,682,954. Since December 31, 2010, our working capital deficit has continued to increase as a result of continuing losses from operations. In order to maintain our current level of operations, we will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations or proceeds from new investors. If we are unable to acquire additional working capital, we will be required to significantly reduce our level of operations. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 states that due to our losses from operations and lack of working capital there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in operations was $35,940 compared to $0 for the same period in 2010. The use was primarily due to net operating losses of $369,006 with an offset of non-cash transactions such as depletion and depreciation expense of $24,124 and common stock issued to service provider that recorded as an expense of $263,950. In addition, the increase in accounts receivable of $118,074 and salaries payable of $150,000 is other factor that affect the net cash used from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $59,184 compared to $0 for the same period in 2010. The net cash provided by financing activities consists of $50,000 proceeds from note payable from UFO and $31,523 proceeds from related parties. It is offset by the payments on line of credits from the bank of $21,339 and repayment to related party of $1,000.

 

We had no cash for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to minimal activity before the acquisition of the University field in 2010.

 

Obtaining any additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to continue operations.

 

Off Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the period covered by this Report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2011 because for the significant part of the year (a) we did not have adequate controls over our control environment, (b) our accounting processes lacked appropriate segregation of responsibilities necessary for an effective system of internal control, and (c) we were unable to complete the financial statements for the quarterly reporting periods in 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, in a timely manner to enable us to file the Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K by the respective due dates. We believe that our lack of segregation of duties and inadequate controls over the control environment constitute material weaknesses in our internal control.

 

We are in the process of implementing the following measures to remediate these material weaknesses: (a) hire additional financial reporting and accounting personnel with relevant account experience, skills, and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements under the requirements of U.S.GAAP and financial reporting disclosure pursuant to SEC rules; and (b) continue to work with internal and external consultants to improve the process for collecting and reviewing information required for the preparation of financial statements. We plan on continuing to identify and implement remedial measures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
