FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Our disclosure and analysis in this Form 10-K may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “predicts”, “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-K that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including such things as estimated future net revenues from oil and gas reserves and the present value thereof, future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strength, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success, reference to intentions as to future matters, and other such matters are forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are largely based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

 

Although we believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. Management cautions all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that those statements will be realized or the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to the factors listed in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-K. We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

 

PART I

 

References in this Report on Form 10-K to “we”, “us”, “Nogal ” or “the Company” refer to Nogal Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

 

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

General

 

Nogal Energy, Inc. is a publicly held Nevada corporation listed on the OTC Pink under the symbol NGLE.

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2006 as Coastal Media, Inc.  On September 11, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Blugrass Energy, Inc. Upon the reverse merger recapitalization the new inception date is December 11, 2007. On July 17, 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Nogal Energy, Inc.

 

On July 17, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Change regarding a 1 for 200 shares reverse stock split. The split was effective August 12, 2013, and in September the stock symbol changed to “NGLE”.

 

On August 9, 2013, the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as compensation for consulting services, to Excellere Capital Group, LLC. The issuance resulted in change of control of the Company, with Excellere Capital Group, LLC being an 89.1% owner of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of issue.

Business Strategy

  

We continue to seek out opportunities to acquire oil field services companies. However, the ability to consummate these transactions will likely be contingent on our ability to obtain financing.  Our goal is to acquire companies in the oil field services industry through purchase or merger.  To date, we have no revenues and limited capital resources.  Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital in the near-term. Management continues to attempt to raise additional debt and equity capital and is engaged in discussions with numerous potential capital sources.

 

Industry Operating Environment

 

The oil and gas industry is affected by many factors that we generally cannot control.  Government regulations, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy, climate change and the environment, can have a significant impact on operations and profitability.

 

Plans for 2014

 

During the 2014, the Company intends to continue its efforts to acquire, merge, or purchase, oil field services companies. The Company intends to continue to raise funds to support the efforts through the sale of equity, debt securities and other forms of financing.

 

Headquarters

 

As of December 31, 2013, Nogal’s corporate headquarters are located at 1610 Woodstead Court, Suite 330, The Woodlands, TX 77380. 

 

Available Information

 

We file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and other documents with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Also, the SEC maintains an internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, including the Company, that file electronically with the SEC. The public can obtain any document we file with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K and should not be considered part of this report or any other filing that we make with the SEC.

  

Competition

 

The markets in which we intend to operate are highly competitive. Competition is influenced by such factors as price, capacity, availability of work crews, and reputation and experience of the service provider. We believe that an important competitive factor in establishing and maintaining long-term customer relationships is having an experienced, skilled and well-trained work force. Price is often the primary factor in determining which service provider is awarded the work. However, in numerous instances, we intend to secure and maintain work for large customers for which efficiency, safety, technology, size of fleet and availability of other services are of equal importance to price. Our ability to grow depends on our ability to raise additional capital, attract and retain quality personnel and identify and acquire suitable companies for acquisition. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

 

Marketing and Customers 

In the event we are able to raise additional capital, acquire or merge with a suitable company for providing oil field services; our customers will include major oil companies, foreign national oil companies, and independent oil and natural gas production companies.

Regulation

 

Regulation of Gas and Oil Production

 

Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. We cannot predict the level of enforcement of existing laws or regulations or how such laws and regulations may be interpreted by enforcement agencies or court rulings in the future. We also cannot predict whether additional laws and regulations affecting our business will be adopted, or the effect such changes might have on us, our financial condition or our business.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

Operations routinely involve the storage, handling, transport and disposal of bulk waste materials, some of which contain oil, contaminants and other regulated substances. Various environmental laws and regulations require prevention, and where necessary, cleanup of spills and leaks of such materials, and some operations must obtain permits that limit the discharge of materials. Failure to comply with such environmental requirements or permits may result in fines and penalties, remediation orders and revocation of permits.

 

Hazardous Substances and Waste

 

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, referred to as “CERCLA” or the “Superfund” law, and comparable state laws, impose liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct of certain defined persons, including current and prior owners or operators of a site where a release of hazardous substances occurred and entities that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site. Under CERCLA, these “responsible persons” may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies.

 

In the course of our operations, we occasionally generate materials that are considered “hazardous substances” and, as a result, may incur CERCLA liability for cleanup costs. Also, claims may be filed for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances or other pollutants. We also generate solid wastes that are subject to the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, or “RCRA,” and comparable state statutes.

 

Although we use operating and disposal practices that are standard in the industry, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been released at properties owned or leased by us now or in the past, or at other locations where these hydrocarbons and wastes were taken for treatment or disposal. Under CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws, we could be required to clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater), or to perform remedial activities to prevent future contamination.

 

Air Emissions

 

The Clean Air Act, as amended, or “CAA,” and similar state laws and regulations restrict the emission of air pollutants and also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. These laws and regulations may require us to obtain approvals or permits for construction, modification or operation of certain projects or facilities and may require use of emission controls.

 

Global Warming and Climate Change

 

Some scientific studies suggest that emissions of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) may contribute to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. While we do not believe our operations will raise climate change issues different from those generally raised by commercial use of fossil fuels, legislation or regulatory programs that restrict greenhouse gas emissions in areas where we conduct business could increase our costs in order to comply with any new laws.

 

6
 

Water Discharges

 

We intend to operate facilities that are subject to requirements of the Clean Water Act, as amended, or “CWA,” and analogous state laws that impose restrictions and controls on the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters. Spill prevention, control and counter-measure requirements under the CWA require implementation of measures to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a hydrocarbon spill. Other requirements for the prevention of spills are established under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended, or “OPA,” which applies to owners and operators of vessels, including barges, offshore platforms and certain onshore facilities. Under OPA, regulated parties are strictly and jointly and severally liable for oil spills and must establish and maintain evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to cover liabilities related to an oil spill for which such parties could be statutorily responsible.

 

Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

 

We believe that our success depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary rights. We rely on a combination of trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements and processes to protect our proprietary rights.

 

We generally require our employees, customers, and potential distribution participants to enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, often with non-circumvention provisions, before we disclose any confidential aspect of our technology, services, or business. In addition, our employees are required to assign to us any proprietary information, inventions, or other technology created during the term of their employment with us. However, these precautions may not be sufficient to protect us from misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information in this report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating us and our business.

 

Our business is cyclical and depends on conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, especially oil and natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and natural gas companies. Volatility in oil and natural gas prices, tight credit markets and disruptions in the U.S. and global economies and financial systems may adversely impact our business.

 

Prices for oil and natural gas historically have been volatile and as a result of changes in the supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas and other factors. These include changes resulting from. among other things, the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Export Countries ("OPEC") to support oil prices, changes in the levels of oil and natural gas production in the United States, domestic and worldwide economic conditions and political instability in oil-producing countries. We depend on our customers' willingness to

make capital expenditures to explore for, develop and produce oil and natural gas. Therefore, weakness in oil and natural gas prices (or the perception by our customers that oil and natural gas prices will decrease in the future) could result in a reduction in the utilization of our equipment and result in lower rates for our services.

 

Customers' willingness to undertake exploration and production activities depends largely upon prevailing industry conditions that are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including:

· the domestic and foreign supply of oil and gas;
   
· the price and availability of alternative fuels;
   
· weather conditions;
   
· the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and natural gas;
   
· the level of consumer demand;
   

·

the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and natural gas;

 

7
 

 

   
· the price of foreign imports;
   
· worldwide economic conditions;
   
· the availability, proximity and capacity of transportation facilities and processing facilities;
   
· the effect of worldwide energy conservation efforts;
   
· risks associated with operating drilling rigs;
   
· technical advances affecting energy consumption;
   
· political conditions in oil and gas producing regions; and
   
· domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes.

 

A substantial decline in oil and natural gas prices generally leads to decreased spending by customers. While higher oil and natural gas prices generally lead to increased spending by customers, sustained high energy prices can be an impediment to economic growth, and can therefore negatively impact spending by our customers. Customers also take into account the volatility of energy prices and other risk factors by requiring higher returns for individual projects if there is higher perceived risk. Any of these factors could affect the demand for oil and natural gas and could have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

 

Spending by exploration and production companies can also be impacted by conditions in the capital markets. Limitations on the availability of capital, or higher costs of capital, for financing expenditures may cause exploration and production companies to make additional reductions to capital budgets in the future even if oil prices remain at current levels or natural gas prices increase from current levels. Any such cuts in spending will curtail drilling programs as well as discretionary spending on well services, which may result in a reduction in the demand for our services, and the rates we can charge and the utilization of our assets. Moreover, reduced discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves, or a decrease in the development rate of reserves, in our market areas, whether due to increased governmental regulation, limitations on exploration and drilling activity or other factors, could also have a material adverse impact on our business, even in a stronger oil and natural gas price environment.

 

We may be unable to implement price increases or maintain existing prices on our core services.

 

We may periodically seek to increase the prices of our services to offset rising costs and to generate higher returns for our stockholders. However, we operate in a very competitive industry and as a result, we may not always be successful in raising, or maintaining our existing prices. Additionally, during periods of increased market demand, a significant amount of new service capacity, including new well service rigs, fluid hauling trucks, coiled tubing units and new fishing and rental equipment, may enter the market, which could also put pressure on the pricing of our services and limits our ability to increase or maintain prices. Furthermore, during periods of declining pricing for our services, we may not be able to reduce our costs accordingly, which could further adversely affect our profitability.

 

Even when we are able to increase our prices, we may not be able to do so at a rate that is sufficient to offset such rising costs. In periods of high demand for oilfield services, a tighter labor market may result in higher labor costs. During such periods, our labor costs could increase at a greater rate than our ability to raise prices for our services. Also, we may not be able to successfully increase prices without adversely affecting our activity levels. The inability to maintain our prices or to increase our prices as costs increase could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

8
 

We participate in a capital-intensive industry. We may not be able to finance future growth of our operations or future acquisitions.

 

Our activities require substantial capital expenditures. If our cash flow from operating activities and borrowings under our revolving bank credit facility are not sufficient to fund our capital expenditure budget, we would be required to fund these expenditures through debt or equity or alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt or selling assets.

 

Our ability to raise debt or equity capital or to refinance or restructure our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time, among other things. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. If debt and equity capital or alternative financing plans are not available or are not available on economically attractive terms, we would be required to curtail our capital spending, and our ability to grow our business and sustain or improve our profits may be adversely affected. Any of the foregoing consequences could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Increased labor costs or the unavailability of skilled workers could hurt our operations.

 

Companies in our industry are dependent upon the available labor pool of skilled employees. We compete with other oilfield services businesses and other employers to attract and retain qualified personnel with the technical skills and experience required to provide our customers with the highest quality service. We are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum wage, overtime and other working conditions, and which can increase our labor costs or subject us to liabilities to our employees. A shortage in the labor pool of skilled workers or other general inflationary pressures or changes in applicable laws and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain personnel and could require us to enhance our wage and benefits packages. Labor costs may increase in the future, and such increases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

New technologies may cause our current methods to become obsolete

 

The oil and gas industry is subject to rapid and significant advancements in technology, including the introduction of new products and services using new technologies. As competitors use or develop new technologies, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressures may force us to implement new technologies at a substantial cost. In addition, our competitors have greater financial, technical and personnel resources that allow them to enjoy technological advantages and may in the future allow them to implement new technologies before we can. We cannot be certain that we will be able to implement technologies on a timely basis or at a cost that is acceptable to us. If we are unable to maintain technological advancements consistent with industry standards, our operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

 

Legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays

 

Federal, State, and Local regulatory bodies are currently considering legislation to strengthen legislation to regulate safe drinking water to eliminate an existing exemption for hydraulic fracturing activities. Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and additives under pressure into rock formation to stimulate natural gas production. The use of hydraulic fracturing is necessary to produce commercial quantities of natural gas and oil from many reservoirs.  If adopted, this legislation could establish an additional level of regulation and permitting at the federal level. This additional regulation and permitting could lead to operational delays or increased operating costs and could result in additional burdens that could increase our costs of compliance and doing business as well as delay the development of gas resources which are not commercial without the use of hydraulic fracturing.

 

9
 

We exist in a litigious environment

 

Any constituent could bring suit regarding our existing or planned operations or allege a violation of an existing contract. Any such action could delay when planned operations can actually commence or could cause a halt to existing production until such alleged violations are resolved by the courts. Not only could we incur significant legal and support expenses in defending our rights, but halting existing production or delaying planned operations could impact our future operations and financial condition. Such legal disputes could also distract management and other personnel from their primary responsibilities.

 

Interruptions to our business could adversely affect our operations

 

As with any company, our operations are at risk of being interrupted by earthquake, fire, flood, and other natural and human-caused disasters, including disease and terrorist attacks. Our operations are also at risk of power loss, telecommunications failure, and other infrastructure and technology based problems.

 

A terrorist attack or armed conflict could harm our business

 

Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts and other armed conflicts involving the United States or other countries may adversely affect the United States and global economies and could prevent us from meeting our financial and other obligations. If any of these events occur, the resulting political instability and societal disruption could reduce overall demand for oil and natural gas, potentially putting downward pressure on demand for our services and causing a reduction in our revenues. Oil and natural gas related facilities could be direct targets of terrorist attacks, and our operations could be adversely impacted if infrastructure integral to our customers’ operations is destroyed or damaged. Costs for insurance and other security may increase as a result of these threats, and some insurance coverage may become more difficult to obtain, if available at all.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

Common stockholders will be diluted if additional shares are issued

 

If we issue additional shares of our common stock in the future, it may have a dilutive effect on our current outstanding stockholders.

 

The regulation of penny stocks by the SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our securities

 

We are a "penny stock" company,  and are subject to an SEC rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors.  For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of our stockholders sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

 

In addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because these rules impose additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses.

 

10
 

We do not currently pay dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the future

 

We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock, and we may not pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future. We intend to retain any earnings to fund our operations. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Our stock price is volatile and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid

 

The price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, which may result in losses for investors. We expect our stock to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include:

 

· changes in oil and gas prices;
   
· variations in drilling, recompletions, acquisitions and operating results;
   
· changes in governmental regulation;
   
· changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
   
· changes in market valuations of comparable companies;
   
· additions or departures of key personnel;
   
· future sales of our stock;
   
· statement changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made;
   
· disparity between our reported results and any projections;
   
· technological innovations by us or our competitors;
   
· ability to maintain profitable relationships with our customers;
   
· ability to report financial information in a timely manner; or
   
· the markets in which our stock is traded.

 

We may fail to meet expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts at some time in the future and our stock price could decline as a result.

 

The issuance of options or other derivative securities to acquire our common stock could result in dilution to other holders of our common stock.

 

Sales of additional shares of our common stock could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities. Most shares of common stock currently outstanding are eligible for sale in the public market, subject in certain cases to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the securities laws. We also have the authority to issue additional shares of common stock. The issuance of such shares could dilute the voting power of the currently outstanding shares of our common stock and could dilute earnings per share.

 

Our common stock could be delisted, and, as a result, become more volatile and less liquid.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in this report, as well as our other filings with the SEC. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

 

Overview of our Business

 

We had no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2013.  We have minimal capital and minimal cash.  We are illiquid and need cash infusions from investors or shareholders or loans from any sources to provide capital.

 

During the 2014, the Company intends to continue its efforts to acquire, merge, or purchase, an oil field service company. The Company intends to continue to raise funds to support the efforts through the sale of equity and/or debt securities.

 

As of December 31, 2013, our corporate headquarters is located in The Woodlands, Texas.

 

For a more detailed discussion on risks related to our business and industry, see Item 1A, Risk Factors.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we did not recognize any revenues from our business activities.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred operating expenses of $778,082.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $694,312.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we did not recognize any revenues from our business activities.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred operating expenses of $341,981.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $338,282.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $778,082, and consisted of professional fees of approximately $768,000, and general and administrative expenses of approximately $10,000.  Professional fees included charges for accounting, consulting and legal.  General and administrative fees included employee related expenses and other office related expenses.

 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $341,981 and consisted of professional fees of approximately $147,000 and general and administrative expenses of approximately $195,000.  Professional fees included charges for accounting, consulting, engineering, investor relations and legal.  General and administrative fees included employee related expenses, meals and entertainment, travel related expenses including lodging, filing and bookkeeping services and rent and other office related expenses.

 

Liquidity

 

At December 31, 2013, we had no assets, and total liabilities of $1,063,784, including $380,790 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 we had cash and cash equivalents of $0 and $177, respectively. Our working capital was ($1,063,784) and ($978,401) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

14
 

Capital Resources

 

We have only common stock as our capital resource.  Our operating expenses have been, and will be, for the foreseeable future, covered by the Company’s major shareholder – Excellere Capital Group, LLC, in form of loans. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next year; however, if operations are commenced, substantial capital will be needed to pay for participation, investigation, exploration, acquisition and working capital.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company reported a net loss of $694,312 for the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,063,784 and the Company had no revenues from its activities during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

The Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013, have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.  Our independent accountants have issued a report stating that our lack of revenue, significant losses accumulated during the development stage, and our net capital deficiency raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management's plan discussed below.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified certain of these policies as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by our management.  We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Accounting Estimates

 

Some accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Certain accounting estimates are considered to be critical if (a) the nature of the estimates and assumptions is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to changes; and (b) the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and money market instruments to be cash equivalents.

 

15
 

Earnings (loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share require dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-lived intangibles subject to amortization, annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. The impairment of long-lived assets requires judgments and estimates.  If circumstances change, such estimates could also change. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

 

We estimate our current tax position together with our future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, depreciation, and other reserves for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, prior year carryback, or future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. To the extent we believe that recovery is not more likely than not, we establish a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Nogal Energy, Inc.

 

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nogal Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, as of December 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,819,587 and negative working capital of $1,063,784, both of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

 

1.   Organization – Nature of Operations

 

Nogal Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or “Nogal”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2006, as Coastal Media Inc.  The Company was originally formed to engage in the business of manufacturing, marketing, distributing and selling its marine DVDs.  

 

On September 11, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from "Coastal Media Inc." to "Blugrass Energy Inc.", to reflect the change in direction of the Company’s business to the Oil and Gas Industry. As a result of the name change, the Company’s trading symbol was changed to “BLUG”.

 

On February 23, 2011, Petro Grande, LLC (“Petro Grande”) consummated a transaction with Blugrass whereby Petro Grande acquired a controlling interest in Blugrass.  This transaction effected a change of control and Blugrass’ management team was replaced with Petro Grande’s management team.  Upon the reverse merger on February 23, 2011 the inception date of the Company changed to December 11, 2007, the date of the acquisition of the lease by Petro Grande, LLC.

 

On July 17, 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Blugrass Energy, Inc.” to “Nogal Energy, Inc.”.

 

On July 17, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Change regarding a 1 for 200 shares reverse stock split. The split was effective August 12, 2013, and in September the stock symbol changed to “NGLE”. The accompanying financial statements reflect retroactive application of the split.

 

On August 9, 2013, the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock as compensation for services. The issuance resulted in change of control of the Company.

 

On January 28, 2014, the Company filed Notice of Action by Written Consent of the Majority Stockholders and Information Statement in order to change its name to Novamex Energy, Inc.

 

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods.  Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 

Other Receivable – The balance of other receivable as of December 31, 2012 was $8,541, and consisted of amounts representing cash advances owed to the Company.

 

Loss Per Share - Loss per share require dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-lived intangibles subject to amortization, annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. The impairment of long-lived assets requires judgments and estimates.  If circumstances change, such estimates could also change. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes – The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based upon its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.

 

The Company may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company receives an assessment for interest and penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated financial statements as income tax expense. Generally, the Company’s federal, state, and local tax returns for years subsequent to 2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.  The estimated fair value of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.  The carrying value of short and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest.  None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

New Accounting Standards - In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The standards requires an entity's management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Public entities are required to apply standards for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidelines in Topic 810, Consolidation . The standard will eliminate the reporting requirements for certain disclosures for development stage entities. Public entities are required to apply the presentation and disclosure requirements for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company has early adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard will eliminate the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. Public entities are required to apply the revenue recognition standard for annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

3.   Reverse Merger

 

On February 23, 2011, the Company was acquired by Petro Grande, which contributed a significant oil and gas lease covering acreage located in Crockett County, Texas from Petro Grande as consideration in exchange for 261,472 shares of the Company’s restricted common plus a promissory note in the amount of $3.5 million. On the closing date of the PG Transaction, a change in control of the Company occurred and the senior management and directors of Nogal resigned and were replaced by Petro Grande’s management team. Although Petro Grande is the surviving legal entity; Nogal remained the financial reporting entity and the merger was treated as a reverse recapitalization as, prior to the PG transaction, Blugrass was a public holding company with limited assets or operations and, upon completion of the PG transaction, Petro Grande shareholders emerged with a controlling 77% interest in the merged Company.

 

On March 7, 2012, the $3,500,000 PG Note Payable and accrued and unpaid interest totaling $215,035 were converted to 371,504 shares of common stock.

 

4.   Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $694,312 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,063,784, and the Company had no revenues from its activities during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the 2014 fiscal year, the Company intends to continue its efforts to acquire, merge, or purchase oil field services companies. The Company intends to continue to raise funds to support the efforts through the sale of equity and/or debt securities.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt. At the present time, the Company does not have a revolving loan agreement with any financial institution nor can the Company provide any assurance that it will be able to enter into any such agreement in the future or be able to raise funds through the further issuance of debt or equity in the Company.

 

5.   Notes Payable

 

On May 12, 2011 the Company issued an unsecured note payable in the amount of $20,000 (the “Ladner Note”).  The Ladner Note matured on August 31, 2011, and is considered to be in default.  The note includes a “bonus payment” of $2,500 due at maturity.  Principal balance of the note has not changed. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, balances of accrued interest were $10,700 and $2,500, respectively.

On March 10, 2013, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to Excellere Capital Group LLC in the amount of $52,137 (the “$52,137 Excellere Note”).

In accordance with agreements, upon the change in control, certain debt to previous owners, officers and directors was forgiven. $127,867 of Accounts payable – related party, $17,851 of Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $4,707 of accrued interest, were written off on August 9, 2013. $8,420 of Other receivable were offset against the write-off.

9.   Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, as the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes available in each period.  Additionally, it is uncertain if the Company will have taxable income in the future so a valuation allowance has been established for the full value of net tax assets. The deferred tax asset consists of net operating loss carry forwards and the Company has no deferred tax liabilities.

 

We have determined that utilization of existing new operating losses against future taxable income is limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Due to the Section 382 limitation the Company is not allowed to deduct more than $2,319 against future taxable income per year. These net operating loss carry forwards may be carried forward in varying amounts until 2033 and may be limited in their use due to significant changes in the Company's ownership.

 

   December 31,
   2013  2012
Net operating loss carry-forwards subject to
Section 382 limitations
  $46,380   $3,764,748 
Less: valuation allowance   (46,380)   (3,764,748)
Net deferred tax asset  $—     $—   
           

 

The Company has valued its net deferred tax asset at zero with a valuation allowance due to the substantial doubt taxable income will be generated in the future to utilize the deferred tax asset.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the period covered by this report.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer. Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Form 10-K. During the course of our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, we advised our Board of Directors that we had identified a material weakness as defined under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness we identified is discussed in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” below. Our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that as a result of the material weakness, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Disclosure Controls were not effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting should be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(1)      pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

(2)      provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

(3)      provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), which summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.  

 

Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weakness relates to the monitoring and review of accounting work by our Chief Accounting Officer in the preparation of audit and financial statements, footnotes and financial data provided to the Company’s registered public accounting firm in connection with the annual audit. This lack of accounting staff results in a lack of segregation of duties, and accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control.

 

Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit smaller reporting companies like us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence

 

The Company’s common stock is quoted through the OTC Pink System.  For purposes of determining whether members of the Company’s Board of Directors are “independent,” the Company’s Board utilizes the standards set forth in the NASDAQ Stock Market Marketplace Rules.  At present, the Company’s entire Board serves as its Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees.  The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that, of the Company’s present directors, none is an “independent director,” as defined under NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rules, for purposes of qualifying as independent members of the board and an Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committee of the board, since they serve as executive officers of the Company.

 

Since August 9, 2013, the Company has not changed the structure of its Board of Directors and currently, Mr. Stephen Bargo serves as both director, and as Chief Executive and Accounting Officer. It is anticipated that independent directors will be added to the Board, however, the Company’s Board of Directors has not set a timetable for such action.
