TREATY ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
History
 
Treaty Energy Corporation, formerly known as Alternate Energy Corp., (“Treaty”, “the Company”, “we”, or “us”) was incorporated as COI Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada in August, 1997.

We incorporated as COI Solutions, Inc. on August 1, 1997 as a Nevada corporation. On May 22, 2003, we acquired all the assets of AEC I Inc., formerly known as Alternate Energy Corporation, and changed our name to Alternate Energy Corp. We commenced active business operations on June 1, 2003 and were a development stage company under Codification Topic No. 915 developing alternate renewable energy sources.

The Company merged with Treaty Petroleum, Inc., a Texas Corporation under a transaction commonly referred to as a reverse merger.  With the change in ownership in December 2008, we embarked on a new business plan, focusing on oil and gas production.
 
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Treaty Energy Drilling, C&C Petroleum Management, LLC,, and Treaty Belize Energy, Ltd., in which the Company holds a 76% interest.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial information for the interim periods presented.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates underlying these consolidated financial statements include the estimated quantities of proved oil reserves used to compute depletion of oil and natural gas properties and the estimated fair value of asset retirement obligations.

All of the Company’s accounting policies are not included in this Form 10-Q.  A more comprehensive set of accounting policies adopted by the Company are included on our Form 10-K as of December 31, 2012 and are herein incorporated by reference.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes oil, gas and natural gas condensate revenue in the period of delivery. Settlement on sales occurs anywhere from two weeks to two months after the delivery date. The Company recognizes revenue when an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
The Company recognizes drilling revenue in the period services are rendered.  The Company recognizes revenue when a drilling engagement exists, the service has been rendered, the contract fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
In December of 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance now codified as Topic 718 (“Topic 18”) which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed Topic 18 methodology and amounts.  Prior periods presented are not required to be restated. The Company adopted Topic 18 at its inception and applied the standard using the modified prospective method.
 
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company accounts for conditional asset retirement obligations in accordance with FASB ASC 410-20.  Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates a fair value of the obligation on each well in which it owns an interest by identifying costs associated with the future dismantlement and removal of production equipment and facilities and the restoration and reclamation of a production operation’s surface to a condition similar to that existing before oil and natural gas extraction began.

In general, the amount of an Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) and the costs capitalized will be equal to the estimated future cost to satisfy the abandonment obligation using current prices that are escalated by an assumed inflation factor up to the estimated settlement date which is then discounted back to the date that the abandonment obligation was incurred using an assumed cost of funds for the Company. After recording these amounts, the ARO is accreted to its future estimated value using the same assumed cost of funds and the liability is increased each period as the retirement obligation approaches.  See Note 11 for a discussion of our estimated Asset Retirement Obligation.
 
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that had any material effect on our financial statements.
 
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Treaty will continue as a going concern. As shown in these consolidated financial statements, we have had continuing negative cash flows from operations and a working capital deficit as of March 31, 2013.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to finance these deficits by making additional shareholder notes and seeking additional outside financing through either debt or sales of its common stock.
 
NOTE 5 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
There were no property acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2013, however, a 4% ORRI was repurchased.  The 1,000,000 shares were valued at $38,000 but were immediately impaired and expensed based on the December 31, 2012, reserve report.

On September 21, 2012, the Company purchased the Converse lease and issued a promissory note in the amount of $328,012.  The note requires two (2) $20,000 payments in October, 2012, and $20,000 per month thereafter.  Interest accrues at a rate of 7%.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in default by $2,500 on the December payment.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company returned the property to the lender and was released from further obligations.  The carrying value on the Converse lease was zero and the asset retirement obligation was $166,882 at the time of the disposition. This resulted in a gain on the sale of the asset of $166,882 with the relief of the ARO. The company also recognized a gain on retirement of debt of $258,566 due to the related debt being relieved with the transfer.
 
 
9

 
 
On May 31, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $692,539 for the Great 8 leases in Texas, the payment terms of which are: monthly payments including interest and principal with the final payment due on June 1, 2012. This note accrues interest at 5%.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company paid off the note and accrued interest in full through borrowing from other lenders who the company is now indebted to for $275,000.  As an additional expense related to the original default on the former note payable, the Company transferred the Willingham lease and equipment to the former lender. The carrying value at the time of the disposition for the related lease and well equipment was $54,741 and the carrying value of the related asset retirement obligation was $1,700. The Company recorded a loss of $53,041 on this disposition.

During the first quarter of 2013 the Company sold a 5% net revenue interest within the San Juan #3 well located within the Company’s Belize lease for $45,000. The well is currently being drilled and is unproved at the time of this filing. The agreement entails that the Company return the $45,000 to the investor within 60 days if the well is considered to be a dry hole. Based on the uncertainty of the well at this time the $45,000 was accrued within liabilities as of March 31, 2013.

Production of Oil from all fields

We recorded depletion expense of $12,448 and $7,389  for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012,  respectively,  based on total production of approximately 1,084 and 1,076 barrels.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we shipped 1,084 barrels, and reflect a $16,047 net receivable (after  royalty and production tax reductions) for shipments made prior to March 31, 2013.

Carved Out Production Payment

As noted in the 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into an agreement with an investor to sell a 5% permanent royalty and a 15% temporary royalty to be paid until production reaches 200 barrels per day for $600,000.  The interests for both the permanent and temporary royalties relate to all current and future Texas leases.
 
 
10

 
 
Once total Texas production exceeds 200 barrels per day, the temporary 15% royalties will revert to Treaty Energy Corporation.

In recording the temporary portion of the royalties sold, an advance on a production payment liability was established.  Since the amount of proceeds to be paid out in the future is not readily determinable and the Company is not responsible for any shortfall in payment related to future production, the temporary 15% is treated as a “Carved-Out Production Payment Payable in Product” consistent with the guidance in ASC 932-10.  Moreover, since the payout amounts are uncertain, no allocation of the proceeds between the permanent 5% and the temporary 15% Overriding Royalty was made, and therefore, no gain or loss was recorded on the transaction.

Consistent with the aforementioned guidance, the cash received related to the 15% carved-out production interest is treated as deferred revenue and amortized with production and payment to the holder.  The proportional amount of carrying value of oil and gas assets will be amortized with production to match the costs to the production periods.

Amortization was based on the independent reserve report and is subject to future changes in estimates.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and  March 31, 2012, the amortization of the Carved Out Production payment was $11,132 and $1,496,  respectively.  The net asset value of the Carved Out Production payment was $59,103 and $70,235, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, the amortization of the Deferred Revenue was $79,899 and $24,668, respectively.  The balance of deferred revenue at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $424,195 and $504,094, respectively.

None of our debts outstanding are contractually convertible. All conversions noted below were mutually agreed to between the lender and the Company which resulted in extinguishment accounting with gains or losses recorded based on the differences between the value of the shares issued compared to the debts relieved.

Promissory Note Issued for the Acquisition of the Great 8 lease (principal of $-0- and $211,494  as of March 31, 2013 and  December 31, 2012, respectively, and accrued interest of $-0- and $6,461 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively)

This note accrues interest at 5%.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company paid off the note and accrued interest in full through borrowing from other lenders who the company is now indebted to for $275,000.  The difference was charged to interest expense. As an additional expense related to the original default on the former note payable, the Company transferred the Willingham lease and equipment to the former lender. The carrying value at the time of the disposition for the related lease and well equipment was $54,741 and the carrying value of the related asset retirement obligation was $1,700. The Company recorded a loss of $53,041 on this disposition.

In the event the Company defaults on the note these shares would be owed to the lender. The agreement requires that the Company provide additional collateral if the fair value of the shares decreases below $200,000 while the note is outstanding. As of March 31, 2012 the value of the collateral exceeded $200,000.  At December 31, 2012, in accordance with the terms of the contract we added $50,000 to the note as a penalty for delinquent payments.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, $72,500 of accrued interest was converted for 12,598,360 shares valued at $144,228 resulting in a loss of $71,728.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis contained in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the financial statements and notes hereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in future events.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2013, compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
 
We had $125,017 in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from our recent Texas acquisitions versus $ 57,016 for the same period in 2012.  Further, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, we earned $13,600 in drilling fees as compared to -0- for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Our lease operating expenses were $240,923 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus $77,491 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to increased activities and expenses at our Texas and Belize acquisitions.

Our drilling costs increased from $124,190 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $73,672 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, also due to increased drilling operations.

General and administrative expenses have increased from $551,816 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $3,462,083 in 2013, mostly resulting from additional personnel, office space and related expenses required to manage the growth in operations.   Consulting fees paid through the issuance of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $2,329,403.

Our depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $116,464 as compared to $78,265 for the same period in 2012, owing additional equipment and properties acquired in late 2012.

Interest expense is substantially higher during the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the same period in 2012, due to higher debt levels during the first three months of the year.  Further, at the time we settled for the Great 8 loan, we incurred a large expense for late fees and interest penalties that had not been accrued for previously.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 
18

 
 
Currently, we are able to maintain our existing operations through funding agreements with related party companies.  The existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows are from sales of oil production.  We have determined that our existing capital structure is adequate to fund our planned growth.
 
We intend to finance our drilling, work over and acquisition program by related party loans and private debt offerings.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring the financing we are seeking.  Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of production, oil and gas prices and successful drilling efforts.  There can be no assurance that operations and other capital recourses will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain planned or future levels of capital expenditures.
 
Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We generally use words such as "believe," "may," "could," "will," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this report. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and our future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
 
PLAN OF OPERATION
 
CHANGE IN OPERATING PROCEDURES
 
Based on end of year 2012 financials, Treaty Energy Corporation (referred to as “the Company”) began adjusting its strategy in Texas.  In January of 2013, the Company began to evaluate its current lease inventory to begin consolidating and increasing production on several key leases. Several wells received low cost work overs in late January and were put back into production in mid-to-late Q1 2013.
 
Almost every well in the Company’s existing inventory had initial surges of 5-10 barrels of oil per day, but would then decrease in production significantly. While profitable for large marginal well operations, this strategy would not produce substantial revenues for the Company. As a result, the Company sought to reduce its marginal well inventory while simultaneously developing and acquiring new leases with proven and underdeveloped reservoirs.
 
The Company acquired 40 acres on the Mitchell lease from US Fuels in Texas and developed the lease in Q2 2013. The Mitchell lease is a high potential producer and remains relatively untapped due to the depth of the reservoir. The Company, in conjunction with TNC Energy, drilled two exploratory deep wells on this known producing lease to determine future deep well projects. This well has been a success, producing just over 3000 barrels of oil in approximately two and a half months.
 
As a result, the Company has moved away from marginal well operations into exploratory drilling and development operations, with the Mitchell lease being the first of the Company’s newly revamped operational strategy.
 
 
19

 
 
ACQUISITIONS
 
On May 9, 2013, in line with its change in operating procedures, the Company signed a binding letter of intent (LOI) with U.S. Fuels, Inc. of Breckenridge, Texas to acquire over 1,830 acres of oil and gas leases with high return on investment potential on new drills. These leases are:

  
Knott Lease – 40 Acres in Taylor County
  
Stroebel Lease – 700 Acres in Eastland County
  
Standard Lease – 400 Acres in Taylor County
  
Bridges Lease – 650 Acres in Stephens County

As of September 6, 2013 the Company has acquired assignments on three of the five (3/5) leases listed (Mitchell, Stroebel and Standard) and has acquired two additional leases/wells, Stockton and Mitchell #1, which were independent of the LOI. The two remaining leases in the binding LOI that have not been acquired are the Bridges and Knott, which the Company is continuing to work with U.S. Fuels on acquiring.
 
REVENUE GENERATION
 
Q1 2013 statement will reflect actions taken by management in its evaluation of existing well operations, while simultaneously making several internal operating changes.  Q2 2013 will reflect the transition in operating strategy from marginal “shallow well” operations to exploratory drilling operations with new “deeper” wells (Mitchell #3 and #4). Q3 2013 and beyond will reflect the success of management’s strategic policy changes.

Revenue generation is contingent upon the success of projects in Q3 2013. The Company expects that based upon lease acquisitions and oil and gas developments in Q3 2013, revenue generation will increase significantly in the later quarters of the fiscal 2013 year.
 
DRILLING ACTIVITIES
 
Texas
 
As previously mentioned, the Company has begun to increase revenues, however will not be reflected in financial statements until later 2013 fiscal year quarters. The Company, with its partners, has successfully drilled two producing wells on the Mitchell lease and has conducted a few reworks to increase production to existing wells.

Total May production for Mitchell lease was approximately 300 barrels. Total June production was approximately 1,500 barrels. Total production sold on the Mitchell lease as of July 26, 2013 is approximately 2,450 barrels of oil. At current prices and subtracting overriding royalty, approximately $185,000 was split between TNC Energy (the Company’s drilling partner on the project) and the Company.

The Mitchell lease in two months has already produced more oil than all of the Company’s production in the reported 2012 year and total sales before split on the lease already exceeds sales of the prior year. Based on current production estimates, the Company is expected to meet or exceed oil sale revenues of the prior year independent of additional new drills.

On July 18, 2013, the Company announced plans to drill two offset wells to the Mitchell #4 wells on the Stockton lease. The projected cost to drill and complete each well is approximately $375,000 (AFE). The Company will not have any partners on the two Stockton wells and will have a 75% net revenue interest (NRI).

On July 29, 2013, the Company acquired a 50% working interest (W/I) and a 38.5% net revenue interest (NRI) on the Mitchell #1 well. It conducted a fracking operation that same day. The Company expects that the fracking operation on the Mitchell #1 will result in approximately 2 loads per month

The Company also has plans to re-enter several wells on the Standard lease, but were put on hold for the refracking of the Mitchell #1 well based on the higher ROI potential of that well and the more conservative rework success rate.

Belize
 
The Company is continuing a large scale hydrocarbon exploration project in the Toledo District of Southern Belize. The Company is currently in the process of completing its third exploratory well, San Juan #3. The Company has experienced a few political set-backs in the operation. These political setbacks halted operations temporarily due to an injunction placed on oil exploration companies as the result of a Supreme Court case (Oceana v Belize) in the country.

On May 7, 2013, Treaty Belize Energy, Ltd. (TBE), the Company’s Belize subsidiary, announced that it would recommence drilling after the Prime Minister of Belize gave re-authorization for hydrocarbon exploration companies to continue operations.

Two weeks after the May 7, 2013 announcement, TBE reached a large fracture at approximately 3,300ft. (SJ3 FP1) After reaching SJ3 FP1, San Juan #3 lost circulation. After two days, TBE regained circulation and continued to drill for approximately 100ft., where the drill encountered another fracture approximately 40ft after the first (SJ3 FP2). TBE stopped drilling after receiving positive geological readings at approximately 3,400ft.

TBE pulled the drill and ran a sonic log to confirm additional positive results. With confidence, the decision was made to case and cement to maintain the stability of the borehole, but TBE would conduct an openhole operation for the fractured areas. Once cementing was successfully completed, a second sonic log and cement log was completed with again, positive and encouraging results.

Swabbing commenced and continued for over 7-8 days, where approximately 1000bbl of freshwater had been pulled from the well. At this point, TBE engineers decided to up swabbing capabilities by using air pressure and pulled over 5000bbl of water in three days. After careful analysis, it was determined that, the lower fracture, SJ3 FP2 was injecting freshwater into the well.

TBE began the process of sealing off the lower fracture, SJ3 FP2, with sand and pebbles and ran the mud pump with water to determine if the bottom had been sealed and if top was impacted. The mud pump test confirmed that SJ3 FP1 was impacted with mud and other sediments.

TBE has now begun to determine a multi-step process to open up SJ3 FP1 to determine possible production. If positive production sources are not found, SJ3 FP1 & FP2 will be cemented and the drill will continue to its original proposed total depth of 4000ft.
 
FINANCING
 
The Company has made arrangements for private lending on many of the projects currently in progress.  As we progress we expect to require additional funds for the purchase of additional equipment, leases, and operations. The Company may, and will likely, increase the number of authorized shares (A/S) to fund additional projects. By raising funds through A/S increases, the Company will not have to seek external financing, maximizing project ROI potential.
 
There is no guarantee that the Company can raise the required capital to make acquisitions, drill new wells, or repair equipment on any acquired properties, or that undertaking such repairs, acquisitions and drilling program will make us profitable or self-sustaining.
 
ITEM 3 - QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this item.
 
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Our annual report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2012 reported the following material weaknesses:

 
1.
As of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment.  Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures.  This has resulted in inconsistent practices.  Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Regulation S-X.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute e a material weakness.
 
 
2.
As of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.   Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
 
Management has been addressing these weaknesses during the three months ended March 31, 2012, however, believe that the material weakness assessment is unchanged.
 
Change In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In January, 2013, the Company was advised that legal remedies were being sought by the party involved in the rescission action pertaining to the Belize investment.  The Company disputes that the amount of $120,000 had become past due as the stock to be returned had not been returned at that point.  Aside from the stated amount due for the rescission and described in Note 12, the Company does not believe that any additional liability will be incurred.
 
On May 23, 2013, a vendor obtained a judgment against the Company for an unpaid invoice, plus court fees and interest of $98,070.  The Company acknowledges the liability and have established an installment agreement with the vendor.
 
We may be involved from time to time in ordinary litigation, negotiation and settlement matters that will not have a material effect on our operations or finances. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on our operations or finances, except as disclosed in this report.
