CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Radiant Oil & Gas, Inc. contains forward-looking statements relating to Radiant’s operations that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the petroleum, chemicals and other energy-related industries.  Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “schedules,” “estimates,” “budgets” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the company’s control and are difficult to predict.  Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.  The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  Unless legally required, Radiant undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changing crude oil and natural gas prices; changing refining, marketing and chemical margins; actions of competitors or regulators; timing of exploration expenses; timing of crude oil liftings; the competitiveness of alternate-energy sources or product substitutes; technological developments; the results of operations and financial condition of equity affiliates; the inability or failure of the company’s joint-venture partners to fund their share of operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude oil and natural gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of the company’s net production or manufacturing facilities or delivery/transportation networks due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, severe weather or crude oil production quotas that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries; the potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental statutes, regulations and litigation; the potential liability resulting from other pending or future litigation; the company’s future acquisition or disposition of assets and gains and losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government-mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, industry-specific taxes, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on scope of company operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 14 of the company’s Form 10-K.  In addition, such statements could be affected by general domestic and international economic and political conditions.  Other unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1 – General Organization and Business

General Organization and Business

Radiant Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Radiant” or “the Company”) is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company that operates in the Gulf Coast region of the United States of America, specifically, onshore in Louisiana and Mississippi,  in the state waters of Louisiana, USA, and the federal waters offshore Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.  Effective October 9, 2013, the Company closed on the purchase of oil and gas properties located in Louisiana and Mississippi (the “Natchez Properties” or “Natchez”, formerly known as the “Vidalia Properties” or “Vidalia”).  The Natchez Properties contain over eighty (80) wells in Louisiana and Mississippi.
 
The Company determined Natchez to be its predecessor entity as the latter’s historical operations were significantly larger than the historical operations of the Company. For the purposes of financial statement presentation, designation of an acquired business as a predecessor is required if a registrant succeeds to the business of another entity and the registrant’s own operations prior to the succession appear insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired. As such, the Company has included the historical financial results of Natchez prior to October 9, 2013 as its predecessor entity.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Radiant have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on May 7, 2014.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 have been omitted.

Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently to the periods presented.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. The Company’s estimates include estimates of oil reserves, future cash flows from oil properties, depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairment of oil properties, asset retirement obligations, and calculations related to stock and warrant derivative liabilities and commodity derivative instruments. Management emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of more recent reserve discoveries are more imprecise than those for properties with long production histories. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all of its investments in which the Company has exclusive control. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radiant and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Jurasin Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Jurasin”) Rampant Lion Energy, LLC (“RLE”), Radiant Oil & Gas Operating Company, Inc. (“ROGop”), Radiant Acquisitions 1, Inc. (“Radiant Acquisitions”), Radiant Synergy Operating LLC (“Radiant Synergy”), Charenton Oil Company LLC (“Charenton”), Coral PP, LLC (“Coral”), Onyx Exploration, LLC (“Onyx”) and Taylor Point Shallow, LLC (“Taylor Point”).

In accordance with established practices in the oil and gas industry, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and lease operating and general and administrative costs and expenses of Amber Energy, LLC (“Amber”), in which the Company has an interest. The Company owned a 51% interest in Amber as of June 30, 2014.
 
The financial statements presented herein contain information for Natchez for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which insures the balances up to $250,000 per depositor. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had cash balances of $2,006,226 and $2,017,241, respectively, in excess of FDIC insurance limits.  The Company has not incurred losses related to any deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance amount and believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to cash investments.

As of June 30, 2014, Radiant had a restricted cash balance of $1,150,427. This amount includes cash balances restricted by the lender in the Centaurus Credit Agreement (“Centaurus Agreement”) (see Note 6 for more detail on this financing) and restricted funds required by an agreement with a drilling vendor that expires upon the earlier of the completion and settlement of invoices related to the drilling project, or November 1, 2014.
 
Concentrations

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. We periodically evaluate the credit worthiness of financial institutions, and maintain cash accounts only with major financial institutions thereby minimizing exposure for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts. We believe that credit risk associated with cash is remote.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reflected at net realizable value. The Company establishes provisions for losses on accounts receivable if the Company determines that the Company will not collect all or part of the outstanding balance. The Company regularly reviews collectability and establishes or adjusts the allowance as necessary using the specific identification method. Substantially all of accounts receivable balance relates to the most recent crude oil revenue sales.

Deferred Financing Charges

Deferred finance charges consist of legal and other fees incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable and are capitalized and shown in the consolidated balance sheets. These charges are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related notes.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset: furniture and fixtures - 7 years; vehicles - 5 years; computer equipment and software - 3 to 5 years. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment for depreciation purposes. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
 
 
Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company accounts for its oil and natural gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting, as prescribed by the SEC. Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of proved oil and natural gas properties, including internal costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration, and development activities, the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized within a full cost pool. Costs of production and general and administrative corporate costs unrelated to acquisition, exploration, and development activities are expensed as incurred.

Costs associated with unevaluated properties are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties, but are excluded from the amortization base during the evaluation period. When the Company determines whether the property has proved recoverable reserves or not, or if there is an impairment, the costs are transferred into the amortization base and thereby become subject to amortization. The Company evaluates unevaluated properties for inclusion in the amortization base at least annually.  The Company assesses properties on an individual basis, or as a group, if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate that there would be impairment, or if proved reserves are assigned to a property, the cumulative costs incurred to date for such property are transferred to the amortizable base and are then subject to amortization.

Capitalized costs included in the amortization base are depleted using the units of production method based on proved reserves. Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs included in the amortization base, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values.

The Company includes its pro rata share of assets and proved reserves associated with an investment that is accounted for on a proportional consolidation basis with assets and proved reserves that the Company directly owns. The Company calculates the depletion and net book value of the assets based on the full cost pool’s aggregated values. Accordingly, the ratio of production to reserves, depletion and impairment associated with a proportionally consolidated investment does not represent a pro rata share of the depletion, proved reserves, and impairment of the proportionally consolidated venture.
 
The net book value of all capitalized oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, is subject to a full cost ceiling limitation which is calculated quarterly. Under the ceiling limitation, costs may not exceed an aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10 percent using current prices, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, plus the cost of unevaluated properties, less any associated tax effects. Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred tax benefits, over the ceiling is written off as expense. Impairment expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.

Sales or other dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless the ratio of cost to proved reserves would significantly change.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews non-oil and gas long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there was no impairment recorded by the Company.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and the cost is subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company records an asset retirement obligation to reflect its legal obligations related to future plugging and abandonment of oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems. The Company estimates the expected cash flow associated with the obligations and discounts the amount using a credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rate. At least annually, the Company reassesses the obligations to determine whether a change in the estimated obligations is necessary. The Company evaluates whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligations have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation may have materially changed on an interim basis (quarterly), the Company will accordingly update its assessment.  Additional retirement obligations increase the liability associated with new oil and natural gas wells and gas gathering systems as these obligations are incurred.
 

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to non-operating income. For warrants and convertible derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Binomial Option Pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company follows the “sales method” of accounting for oil and natural gas revenues, and recognizes revenue on all natural gas or crude oil sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. A receivable or liability is recognized only to the extent that the Company has an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
FASB ASC-740 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the consolidated financial statements. Also, the statement implements a process for measuring those tax positions which meet the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. There are no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company on its tax returns.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There was no difference between basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all transactions from June 30, 2014 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration and there are no reportable events.

Cash Advance on Acquisition Option

In June 2011, Radiant entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Blacksands Petroleum (“Blacksands”) whereby Radiant granted Blacksands 20% of the interests in certain oil and gas properties. In partial consideration for this agreement, Blacksands delivered to Radiant a refundable deposit of $50,000. Due to various matters, Radiant elected not to pursue this transaction. On November 12, 2012, Blacksands filed a lawsuit against Radiant for breach of contract. In December 2012, Blacksands obtained a judgment against Radiant in the amount of $55,565 which included the original deposit of $50,000, $3,750 of attorney fees and $1,815 of judgment interest. In late 2013, the Company made payments to Blacksands on the total amount of $19,985. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding liability to Blacksands is $35,580 with accrued interest of $2,200.

First Lien Credit Facility (“Centaurus Facility”)

At December 31, 2013, the Company was in multiple defaults of the Centaurus Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), including timely delivery of audited financial statements and other reporting requirements.  Effective February 28, 2014, the lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies against the Company, as allowed by the Credit Agreement and related agreements for the then-existing defaults.  The deferral period in the forbearance agreement will expire on the earlier of (i) five business days after receipt of the first proceeds from production received by the Company from the Coral project and (ii) October 1, 2014.  The lender has specifically agreed to not initiate proceedings to collect on the obligation, discontinue lending under the Credit Agreement, initiate or join in any involuntary bankruptcy petition, repossess or dispose of any collateral under the Credit Agreement or similar actions because of the existing defaults.  Should the Company default on any provisions in the Credit Agreement other than those existing defaults, the Lenders have the right to exercise their rights and remedies against the Company, as contained in the facility agreement and through the amendment of the Credit Agreement.
 
Effective February 28, 2014, the Company amended the Credit Agreement.  As part of the amendment, the maturity date was extended to December 2018. The amendment increased the maximum aggregate commitment from the Lenders from $39,788,000 to $41,748,000, increased the principal amount to be repaid by the Company from $40,600,000 to $42,600,000 plus any deferred interest, and increased the net profits interest conveyed to Centaurus on specific proved wells from 12.5% to 17.0%.  Advances under the Centaurus facility are available with the approval of the agent.  There was no change in the interest rate or collateral.  The Company pledged its ownership interest in all assets and executed a parent company guaranty as additional security.  Repayments are based on cash flow from Company properties and are scheduled to begin no later than October 2014.  Should the Company default on any provisions of the Credit Agreement, the lender has the right to exercise its rights and remedies against the Company, as contained in the facility agreement and the amendment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $3,920,000 of proceeds net of a 2% original issue discount of $80,000 from the Centaurus facility. As of June 30, 2014, the Centaurus Facility had an outstanding balance of $31,525,947 and accrued interest liability of $1,812,964.  Interest expense was $942,721 and $1,813,654 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

(“JTF”) alleging that JTF is obligated to repay the obligation under this note.  The Company continues to seek terms of settlement.
 
Patriot Agreement

On December 28, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Patriot 28 Agreement”) with Patriot Bridge & Opportunity Fund, L.P. (f/k/a John Thomas Bridge & Opportunity Fund, L.P.) and Patriot Bridge & Opportunity Fund II, L.P.,  (the “Funds”), Patriot 28, LLC, the Managing Member of the Funds, and George Jarkesy, individually and as Managing Member of Patriot 28. The Patriot 28 Agreement restructured the outstanding $150,000 due to the Funds in the form of a general liability promissory note. The maturity date of the Note shall be the earlier of an equity infusion of not less than $10,000,000 or December 1, 2014.

Asher Convertible Notes

During 2011, Radiant issued convertible promissory notes to Asher Enterprises Inc. (“Asher Convertible Notes”) for gross proceeds of $95,000 at 8% interest.  The notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock. The loans are convertible after 180 days from the date of issuance and until the later of maturity date or the date of payment of default amount. The conversion price equals 61% of the average of the lowest 3 trading prices for the common stock during the ten trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Because of this floating rate feature, these notes are considered a derivative liability – see Note 8 for more detail.

The notes originally matured on March 29, 2012 and April 26, 2012 and were currently in default as of June 30, 2014.  According to provisions of the credit agreement, in case of a default, the principal of the notes increases 150%, which occurred in 2012.
 

Asher Convertible Notes payable as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following:

The Company recorded interest expense of $6,016 and $12,830 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
Note 7 – Commodity Derivative

In connection with the  Centaurus Facility, the Company and Centaurus entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement that provides the Company with the ability to hedge its future price risk from time to time utilizing a series of price swap agreements for the period 2014 through 2018.  Each contract will be settled in net cash on the settlement date.

The Company elected not to designate any of its commodity derivatives as hedging instruments. As a result, these derivatives are marked to market at the end of each period, and changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded as gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table shows the monthly volumes and average floor prices per the ISDA Master Agreement:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized unrealized losses of $946,180 and $1,191,910, respectively, on the commodity derivatives.  These losses are presented in the Company's consolidated statements of operations as net loss on commodity derivatives.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a realized gain of $36,360 and $13,650, respectively.  These gains are presented in the Company's consolidated statements of operations as net loss on commodity derivatives.
 
The Company has presented a short-term commodity derivative liability of $323,250 and long-term commodity derivative liability of $708,590 on its balance sheet as of June 30, 2014.
 
Note 8 – Stock and Warrant Derivative Liabilities
 
Agent Warrants

In November 2010, Radiant issued warrants to JTF to purchase 121,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.05 per share. The warrants were given as additional compensation for placing an offering of common stock. The warrants had a contractual term of 5 years and vested immediately. The warrants had an exercise price reset provision clause that triggered derivative accounting.  The fair value of these warrants was $28,627 as of June 30, 2014.
 

Tainted Warrants

In May 2011, Radiant issued convertible promissory notes to John Thomas Bridge & Opportunity Fund I, LP (“JTBOF”) and John Thomas Bridge & Opportunity Fund II, LP (“JTBOF II”) in the principal amount of $75,000 each (see more detail in Note 5).  Additionally, Radiant issued warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of its common stock each to JTBOF and JTBOF II.  Warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock each to JTBOF and JTBOF II have an exercise price of $2.50 per share and a term of up to 2 years, $3.00 per share and a term of up to 3 years, and $4.00 per share and a term of up to 4 years.  Upon the issuance of Asher convertible notes and as a consequence of its floating rate feature, these warrants and other existing warrants previously classified as equity have become tainted and are considered a derivative liability.  Warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock each issued to JTBOF and JTBOF II that had an exercise price of $3.00 expired during the second quarter of 2014.  The fair value of the remaining tainted warrants was $224,945 as of June 30, 2014.
 
The following is a summary of the assumptions used in the Lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the total Company’s stock and warrant derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

The volatility was determined by referring to the average historical volatility of a peer group of public companies because the Company does not have sufficient trading history to determine its historical volatility.
 
Asher Convertible Notes

The Asher Convertible Notes are convertible at 61% of the average lowest three-day trading price of common stock during the ten day trading period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The Company analyzed these conversion options, and determined that these instruments should be classified as derivative liabilities and recorded at fair value due to there being no explicit limit as to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the aforementioned conversion options.
 
As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of these derivatives was $99,143.  

The fair value of stock and warrant derivative liabilities related to the conversion options of the Asher Convertible Notes has been estimated as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, using the Lattice option pricing model, under the following assumptions:

(2)  
The volatility was determined by referring to the average historical volatility of a peer group of public companies because the Company does not have sufficient trading history to determine its historical volatility.

 
Bridge Loan Warrants

In August 2013, Radiant entered into a bridge loan agreement with various individuals, totaling $600,000, along with warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share.  The related proceeds were received by Radiant on September 6, 2013, and as such, the aforementioned warrants were deemed to be issued on that date.  The warrants have a contractual term of 5 years and vest immediately.  The warrants were tainted and considered a derivative.  

During 2014, the holders exercised 875,000 warrants at exercise price of $0.01.  The fair value of the remaining 625,000 warrants was $187,274 at June 30, 2014.  

The following is a summary of the assumptions used in the Lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the Company’s total Stock and warrant derivative liabilities as of the balance sheet dates:

Natchez Warrants
 
As a result of the acquisition of the Natchez Properties, the Company issued 1,500,201 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $2.02 per share. The warrants expire on October 8, 2016. The warrants were tainted and considered a derivative. The fair value of outstanding warrants was $418,889 at June 30, 2014.

The following is a summary of the assumptions used in the Lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the total Company’s warrant stock and warrant derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

(1)  
The risk-free interest rate was determined by management using the Treasury bill yield as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
(2)  
The volatility was determined by referring to the average historical volatility of a peer group of public companies because the Company does not have sufficient trading history to determine its historical volatility.

 Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined 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 (exit price).
 
Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
 
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s warrant derivative liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014:

Note 10 – Deferred Gain

Effective June 1, 2012, Radiant entered into a project agreement (the “Shallow Oil Phase 3 and 4 Agreement”) with Grand Synergy Petroleum, LLC (“Grand”) for the joint acquisition and exploration of certain oil and gas leases and related assets located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana (the “Phase 3 and 4 Leases”).  As a result of this agreement, two new Louisiana entities were formed, Charenton Oil, LLC (“Charenton”) on May 8, 2012 and Radiant Synergy Operating, LLC (“Synergy”) on June 28, 2012.  Charenton is a wholly owned subsidiary of Radiant and Synergy was owned 50% by Radiant and 50% by Grand.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $655,628 and $900,628, respectively, as the excess of funds received from Grand during 2012 and costs incurred to date.  This amount was recorded as a deferred gain due to the fact that Grand did not fully fund its commitment and therefore did not receive ownership of the Shallow Oil properties.  As Grand did not fulfill its obligations outlined in the agreement, Radiant effectively became a 100% owner of Radiant Synergy in the fourth quarter of 2013.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $245,000 of other income for non-refundable deposits made by Grand that were no longer refundable to Grand since they did not perform under the contract.

In May 2014, Grand filed a lawsuit alleging breach of contract by Radiant and seeks a settlement that includes return of cash funds paid to Radiant in 2012 under the Shallow Oil Phase 3 and 4 Agreement.  The Company filed a countersuit against Grand for breach of contract.  The Company believes that the resolution of this proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Note 12 – Stockholders’ Deficit

As of June 30, 2014, there were 14,769,039 shares of common shares issued and outstanding.

In 2014, $72,000 of the principal amount of the Asher Convertible Notes (see Note 6 above) was converted into 84,631 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In March 2014, the Company issued 875,000 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants and stock options.  The Company received $8,750 in proceeds from this exercise.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized stock based compensation of $205,835 and $272,340, respectively, related to shares issued for investor relations services and stock options under the Company's equity incentive plan.
 
Shares Issued for Services

On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with an outside agency for investor relations consulting services.  As part of the payment for these services, the Company granted 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon execution of the agreement, with a fair value of $42,500, and will issue 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for their services at the beginning of each six-month period as their services continue.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan
 
The Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive stock options and stock warrants to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of both non-statutory and incentive stock options and other awards to acquire, in the aggregate, up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
During 2014, the Company granted 405,000 stock options to employees with an aggregate fair value of $554,012. The stock options vest over 2 to 3 years. The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following parameters:
 
Common stock issuable upon exercise of options
    405,000  
Estimated market value of common stock on measurement date
  $ 0.42 - 1.50

  $ 0.41 - 1.76

Expected dividend yield
    0 %
Expected volatility (2)
    292 - 300 %
Expected exercise term in years
    3 - 4  

(1)  
The risk-free interest rate was determined by management using the Treasury bill yield as of grant date.
(2)  
The volatility was determined by referring to the average historical volatility of a peer group of public companies because we do not have sufficient trading history to determine our historical volatility.

Note 13 – Related Party Transactions

Related parties include (i) Macquarie Americas Corp. (“MAC”), the owner of 49% equity interest in Amber, (ii) John Jurasin, the Company’s CEO and formerly the sole stockholder of Jurasin Oil and Gas, Inc. (“JOG”), (iii) David R. Strawn and David M. Klausmeyer, Company stockholders, and (iv) Robert M. Gray, the Company’s former director and former employee. Related party balances as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

    $ 916,320     $ 917,295  

 
MAC
 
Amber is partially owned by MAC, an affiliate of the Company’s lender, MBL, and Radiant uses the proportionate consolidation method to consolidate Amber. JOG, Radiant’s wholly owned subsidiary, pays for goods and services on behalf of Amber and passes those charges on to Amber through intercompany billings. Periodically, Amber will reimburse JOG for these expenses, or potentially pays for goods and services on behalf of JOG. These transactions are recorded as a due to/from Amber in JOG’s records and as a due to/from JOG in Amber’s records. Due to the fact that Radiant only consolidates its proportionate share of balance sheet and income statement amounts, the portion of the amount due from Amber related to the other interest owner does not eliminate and is carried as amounts due from Amber until the balance is settled through a cash payment. Due from related party was $358,226 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
 
John Jurasin

Effective March 2010, Radiant assigned certain legacy overriding royalty interests in various projects, including the Baldwin AMI, the Coral, Ruby and Diamond Projects, the Aquamarine Project, and the Ensminger Project to a related party entity owned by John M. Jurasin.  Radiant retained its working interests in these projects.  Additionally, Radiant assigned its working interest in a project, Charenton, to the related party entity. Radiant did not receive any proceeds for the conveyances and the interests assigned had a historical cost basis of $0.

From time to time, John Jurasin advances the Company various amounts in order to pay operating expenses, with no formal repayment terms. The total balance due on these advances was $103,903 and $104,878, respectively, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Additionally, two notes totaling $1,049,000 were issued to Mr. Jurasin in lieu of payment of dividends from JOG, which in turn represented funds advanced by JOG to its subsidiaries Amber and RLE to fund operations.  Interest is accrued at a rate of 4% per year.  The first note of $884,000, issued on August 5, 2010, matured on May 31, 2013. The additional note for $165,000, issued on October 12, 2010, is due and payable on demand at any time subsequent to the repayment in full of all outstanding indebtedness of the Credit Facilities (Note 6).  The balance due on these notes totaled $737,425 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Accrued interest on these notes was $147,633 and $125,015, respectively, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
 
David R. Strawn and David M. Klausmeyer

Mr. Strawn and Mr. Klausmeyer, shareholders of the Company, each loaned the Company a total of $12,193 between March 2002 and June 2005. The notes accrue interest at 8% per annum. The total accrued interest was $38,494 and $36,056, respectively, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  Interest expense on these notes was $1,238 and $2,438 for the three and six months June 30, 2014.
 
Robert M. Gray

As of June 30, 2014, Mr. Gray was owed $50,606 for consulting services rendered prior to becoming an employee of Radiant. This liability is non-interest bearing. 

Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be a plaintiff or defendant in a pending or threatened legal proceeding arising in the normal course of its business. All known liabilities are accrued based on the Company’s best estimate of the potential loss. While the outcome and impact of currently pending legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management and legal counsel believe that the resolution of these proceedings through settlement or adverse judgment will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.
 
Radiant, as an owner or lessee and operator of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area. The Company maintains insurance coverage, which it believes is customary in the industry, although the Company is not fully insured against all environmental risks.
 

Commitments

In connection with the reorganization in August 2010, Radiant entered into the following agreements:

  
An employment agreement with Mr. Jurasin, who will continue as President and Chief Executive Officer, under which he will receive $250,000 per year as base salary.

  
Employment agreements and a consulting agreement under which Radiant was obligated to pay approximately $549,000 for each of the first, second, and third years after the closing of the reorganization agreement.  One of the employees covered by the employment agreement resigned in March 2011 and two other employees resigned in December 2011. Although, no lawsuit was filed, the Company has accrued $50,000 as a possible settlement.

The Company currently leases office space in Houston, Texas. The Company’s office lease expired on September 30, 2012 and is currently paid on month-to-month basis. Lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $13,936 and $27,144, respectively.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events
 
In July 2014, the holders of the Asher Convertible Notes (see Note 6 above) converted $67,000 of principal and $9,600 of accrued interest into 502,296 shares of the Company’s common stock.  
 
In July 2014, the Company received a payment of $2.0 million representing a working interest participation in the Taylor Point Shallow Project.  Radiant is the operator of the project and has retained a carried ten percent working interest.

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

You should read the following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition to historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's plans, estimates, and beliefs. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

General Overview

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized net revenues of $1,449,131 and production of 14,269 barrels of oil.  The key drivers of the Company’s results included the following:

Drilling and Development Program

The Company plans to increase production and reserves through drilling and development plans on the following projects/areas:

Coral Project. In December 2013, the Company acquired two leases in Louisiana state coastal waters of St. Mary Parish totaling approximately 1,405 acres. The Company planned to re-enter and complete a well on this project.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company capitalized a total of $2.3 million, including intangible drilling and completion and permitting costs related to the well.  Also, in June 2014, the Company sold 35% of its 100% working interest in the Coral project to a third party and received $2.0 million, which included $335,301 of reimbursement of previous development costs and a cash advance of $1,246,699 for the third party’s share of future projected costs on the first well. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company plans to log and test the first well in the project.
 
Natchez. The Natchez Properties, previously referred to as “Vidalia Properties” or “Vidalia”, contain over 80 wells in 23 fields located in Louisiana and Mississippi.  The Louisiana properties include over 39 wells and numerous leases located primarily in Catahoula and Concordia parishes. The Mississippi properties include over 41 wells and numerous leases located primarily in Adams, Amite, Franklin, and Wilkinson Counties. The properties include up to 30 productive wells and up to 38 shut-in wells. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company remapped eight of the fields and analyzed additional pay zones resulting in an additional 836 thousand barrels of reserves, as estimated by management.

Ensminger Project. The Ensminger Project is located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana.  The Company had a minority interest in the original well (Ensmiger #1) drilled on this prospect.  The original well was funded by management with two partners and drilled in 2004.  Between 2005 and 2007, the Ensminger #1 well produced significant quantities of gas and condensate.  During a recompletion operation in a new zone the operator lost tools in the hole, and subsequent failed fishing operations resulted in damage to the formation, making further use of the well bore unfeasible.  The lease was abandoned in 2011 and agreements with participants in this prospect area expired in mid-2012.

In 2014, Radiant took a new lease on this acreage with the intent of re-entering the well and side-tracking the well below the casing.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $2.7 million to re-enter the well and remove chrome tubing down to 9,300 feet.  Current operations have been temporarily suspended pending selection of the appropriate rig for the next phase of operations. Management intends to recommence operations on this project prior to the end of 2014.

Production

Production for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 14,269 barrels of oil, or 79 barrels per day, a 19% increase from the same period in 2013 primarily due to the workover and repair program implemented in the Natchez properties.

Prices

The average realized oil price during the second quarter of 2014 decreased two percent to $102.75 per Bbl from $104.51 per Bbl in the same period in 2013, and increased two percent from $100.52 per Bbl in the first quarter of 2014. Commodity prices are affected by changes in market demand, overall economic activity, weather, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, basis differentials and other factors beyond the Company’s control  The Company’s financial results are largely dependent on commodity prices which have been and are expected to remain volatile.

Oil Revenues
  $ 682,672     $ 532,871     $ 149,801       28 %


Oil and gas revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $149,801 or 28% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to a 30% increase in oil volumes as a result of increased workover and repair activity.
 
Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $353,084 or 50% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. During 2014, the Company initiated a program to restart prior shut in wells which caused an increase in repairs and downhole and surface equipment.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion.  Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $48,632 compared to $12,272 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to a higher depletion rate as a result of the Predecessor’s lower asset basis, and higher production volumes.
 
General and Administrative Expense.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,189,167 compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is a result of no general and administrative expenses existing for the Predecessor for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Net Loss on Derivatives.  The net loss on derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $128,593, which included a net loss on commodity derivative of $946,180 and a net gain on warrant derivatives of $817,587.  The predecessor had no derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year three months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,279,622 compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The interest expense for 2014 is a result of notes payable outstanding during the period ended June 30, 2014.  No debt existed for the Predecessor in 2013.

Six Months ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2013

The Company recorded a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $3,186,013 compared to net loss of $291,330 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The following factors contributed to the change.

Oil and gas revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $161,805, or 13%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was due to a 19% increase in oil volumes primarily due to increased workover and repair activity, partially offset by a five percent decrease in oil prices.
 
Lease Operating Expenses.  Lease operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $192,442 or 12%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to increased workover and repair activity.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $107,739 compared to $21,225 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The increase in DD&A was primarily due to a higher depletion rate as a result of the Predecessor’s lower asset basis, and higher production volumes.
 
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $2,363,557 compared to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is a result of no general and administrative expenses existing for the Predecessor for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net Loss on Derivatives. The net gain on derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,788,011, which included a net loss on commodity derivatives of $1,178,260 and a net gain on warrant derivatives of $2,966,271, compared to $-0-  for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The predecessor had no derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $2,439,664 compared to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The interest expense for 2014 is a result of notes payable outstanding during the period ended June 30, 2014.  No debt existed for the Predecessor in 2013.

Other Income. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $237,678 compared to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The other income from 2014 is primarily related to the $245,000 received from Black Gold, Inc. upon termination of a project agreement.
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2014, we have current assets of $3,710,266, current liabilities of $18,940,838, and a working capital deficit of $15,230,572.  

At June 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $1,413,925 and restricted cash balance was $1,150,427.

Effective February 28, 2014, the Company amended the Centaurus Credit Agreement.  As part of the amendment, the maturity date was extended to December 2018. The amendment increased the maximum aggregate commitment from the Lenders from $39,788,000 to $41,748,000, increased the principal amount to be repaid by the Company from $40,600,000 to $42,600,000 plus any deferred interest, and increased the net profits interest conveyed to Centaurus on specific proved wells from 12.5% to 17.0%.  Advances under the Facility are available with the approval of the agent.  There was no change in the interest rate or collateral.  Repayments are based on cash flow from Company properties and are schedule to begin no later than October 2014.  Should the Company default on any provisions in the Agreement, the Lenders have the right to exercise its rights and remedies against the Company, as contained in the facility agreement and the amendment.

The Company has significant cash requirements over the next six months and anticipate that the cash and cash equivalents balances in conjunction with advances under the Credit Agreement will substantially allow the Company to meet its capital investment requirements.
 
The Company intends to raise additional funds through public or private sale of our equity or debt securities, borrowing funds from private or institutional lenders, the sale of interests in certain oil and gas properties, or the farm out of oil and gas interests.  If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities would have rights that are senior to holders of our common stock and could contain covenants that restrict the Company’s operations. Any additional equity financing would likely be substantially dilutive to the Company’s stockholders, particularly given the prices at which the common stock has been recently trading. In addition, if the Company raises additional funds through the sale of equity securities, new investors could have rights superior to existing stockholders. This could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of the Company’s equity securities because assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity.
 
If the Company raises funds through a farm-out or sale of any of the Company’s rights, the Company may be required to relinquish, on terms that are not favorable to the Company, interests in those projects.  The Company’s need to raise capital may require it to accept terms that may harm its business or be disadvantageous to current stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding, or selling or farming-out assets, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
 
If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds when needed, it would be required to further reduce operating expenses by, among other things, curtailing significantly or delaying or eliminating part or all of its operations and properties.
 
The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing is dependent on the state of the debt and/or equity markets, and such markets’ reception of the Company and its offering terms. In addition, the Company's ability to obtain financing may be dependent on the status of its oil and gas exploration activities, which cannot be predicted. There is no assurance that capital in any form will be available to the Company, and if available, that it will be on terms and conditions that are acceptable.

Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,241,328 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $261,346 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change in operating cash flow is primarily attributable to operations related to the newly acquired oil & gas properties as well as other overhead expenses, partially offset by management of the Company’s working capital position.

Cash Used in Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities of $1,899,825 was primarily the result of development of the Company’s oil and gas properties of $4,075,667, partially offset by funds released from restricted cash of $916,798, proceeds related to the partial interest sale of the Coral project of $400,000 and the net change in cash received from advances for the Coral project of $870,411. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, there was no cash used in investing activities.
 
 
Cash Provided by Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities of $3,860,496 was primarily attributable to net borrowings on notes payable of $3,920,000 and proceeds from issuance of common stock of $8,750 partially offset by payments on notes payable of $67,279. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities of $261,346 was attributable to Predecessor contributions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For the period of from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

The Company prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  U.S. GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and requirements.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of 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 under different assumptions or conditions, however, in the past the estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate and have not required any significant changes. Should the Company experience significant changes in the estimates or assumptions that would cause a material change to the amounts used in the preparation of the financial statements, material quantitative information will be made available to investors as soon as it is reasonably available.
 
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Deferred Financing Charges

Deferred finance charges consist of legal and other fees incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable and are capitalized and shown in the consolidated balance sheets. These charges are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related notes.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company accounts for its oil and natural gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting, as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of proved oil and natural gas properties, including internal costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration, and development activities, the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized within a full cost pool. Costs of production and general and administrative corporate costs unrelated to acquisition, exploration, and development activities are expensed as incurred.

Costs associated with unevaluated properties are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties, but are excluded from the amortization base during the evaluation period. When the Company determines whether the property has proved recoverable reserves or not, or if there is an impairment, the costs are transferred into the amortization base and thereby become subject to amortization. The Company evaluates unevaluated properties for inclusion in the amortization base at least annually.  The Company assesses properties on an individual basis, or as a group, if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate that there would be impairment, or if proved reserves are assigned to a property, the cumulative costs incurred to date for such property are transferred to the amortizable base and are then subject to amortization.

Capitalized costs included in the amortization base are depleted using the units of production method based on proved reserves. Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs included in the amortization base, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values.

The Company includes its pro rata share of assets and proved reserves associated with an investment that is accounted for on a proportional consolidation basis with assets and proved reserves that the Company directly owns. The Company calculates the depletion and net book value of the assets based on the full cost pool’s aggregated values. Accordingly, the ratio of production to reserves, depletion and impairment associated with a proportionally consolidated investment does not represent a pro rata share of the depletion, proved reserves, and impairment of the proportionally consolidated venture.
 
 
The net book value of all capitalized oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, is subject to a full cost ceiling limitation which is calculated quarterly. Under the ceiling limitation, costs may not exceed an aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10 percent using current prices, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, plus the cost of unevaluated properties, less any associated tax effects. Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred tax benefits, over the ceiling is written off as expense. Impairment expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.

Sales or other dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless the ratio of cost to proved reserves would significantly change.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews non-oil and gas long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to non-operating income. For warrants and convertible derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Binomial Option Pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company follows the “sales method” of accounting for oil and natural gas revenues, and recognizes revenue on all natural gas or crude oil sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. A receivable or liability is recognized only to the extent that the Company has an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore not required to provide this information.
 
 
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
As required by the SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below. 
 
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following three material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of June 30, 2014 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
 
a)  
Inadequate segregation of duties.  In various accounting processes, applications and systems the Company did not design, establish and maintain procedures and controls to adequately segregate job responsibilities for initiating, authorizing and recording transactions, nor were there adequate mitigating or monitoring controls in place.
 
 
b)  
Inadequate policies and procedures.  The Company did not design, establish and maintain effective GAAP compliant financial accounting policies and procedures.
 
 
c)  
Inadequate personnel.  The Company had a lack of experienced personnel with relevant accounting experience, due in part to limited financial resources.
 

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
 
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting has not changed during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 
 
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.
 
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. With the exception of the matters discussed below, the Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or operating results.

In May 2014, Fermo Jaeckle filed a lawsuit seeking to recover all sums deemed due and owing under the Fermo Jaeckle Note, alleged to be not less than $700,000.  Radiant responded to the lawsuit and filed a third party claim against John Thomas Financial, Inc. (“JTF”) alleging that JTF is obligated to repay obligation under this note.  The company continues to seek terms of settlement.

In May 2014, Grand Synergy Petroleum, LLC (“Grand”) filed a lawsuit alleging breach of contract by Radiant and seeks a settlement that includes return of cash funds paid to Radiant in 2012 under a project agreement for joint acquisition and exploration of certain oil and gas leases and related assets located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana (the “Shallow Oil Phase 3 and 4 Agreement”).  The Company filed a countersuit against Grand for breach of contract.  The Company believes that the resolution of this proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows.
 
Risk Factors.
 
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 2.
