GASE ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2014

  

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2013 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

GASE Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the name Epsilon Corp. in Delaware on October 17, 2011. The Company changed its name to Great East Energy, Inc. on September 10, 2013, and to GASE Energy, Inc. on June 13, 2014. The Company's current business plan is acquisition and development of natural gas properties located in Ukraine.

 

On July 25, 2013, the Company consummated transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated July 25, 2013 by and among the Company and the stockholders of Great East Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GEEI”), (the “GEEI Stockholders”) whereby GEEI Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of GEEI held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 330,008 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”). As a result, GEEI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On July 25, 2013, GEEI entered into a Stock Purchase Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Bezerius Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus (“BHL”), whereby BHL granted to GEEI an option to purchase 1,000 shares of equity capital of Synderal Services LTD, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus ("SSL"), representing all issued and outstanding shares of SSL, for $1,250,000. SSL is engaged in the gas exploration and production business in Ukraine through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ, each a legal entity formed under the laws of Ukraine.

 

Under the Option Agreement, the Company was required to pay to BHL $412,500 as an advance payment to be credited towards the purchase price of the SSL shares. The Company made the advance payment on July 25, 2013. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $837,500 was paid upon exercise of the option that was completed on November 25, 2013 by paying to BHL $500,000 in cash and issuing a promissory note in the principal amount of $337,500 for the balance of the option exercise price. The note bears no interest and has a maturity date of December 31, 2013, which was extended to March 31, 2015. The obligations of the Company under the note are secured by 1,000 shares of SSL purchased by the Company under the Option Agreement in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement dated November 25, 2013 made by the Company in favor of the collateral agent acting on behalf of BHL. As a result, SSL, Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The Group’s entities maintain accounting books and records in local currencies of their domicile in accordance with the requirements of respective accounting and tax legislations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in order to present the Company’s financial position and its results of operations and cash flows in accordance with US GAAP and are expressed in terms of US Dollars ($), unless otherwise stated.

 

The consolidated and combined financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements of Synderal Services LTD, NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC and certain adjustments that rely on preliminary estimates and certain assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

 

The adjustments made in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

 

-elimination of intra-entity transactions between GASE Energy, Inc. and Synderal Services LTD;
-elimination of intra-entity transactions between NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC;
-elimination of intra-entity balances between NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC;
-elimination of share capital of NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC and representation of payables for acquisition of subsidiaries incurred in connection with acquisition of NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC in March 2013.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Although the company uses its best estimates and judgments, actual results could differ from these estimates as future confirming events occur.

 

Reporting and functional currency

 

The Company’s functional and Group’s reporting currency is the US dollar ("USD").

 

The national currency of Ukraine, Ukrainian Hryvnia (“UAH”) is the functional currency for the Group’s entities that operate in Ukraine. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into US dollar at the rate prevailing at each balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into US dollars at historical rates. Non US dollar revenues, expenses and cash flows have been translated into US dollars at rates, which approximate actual rates at the date of the transaction. Translation differences resulting from the use of these rates are included in the statement of income.

 

The cumulative translation effects for those entities using functional currencies other than the US dollar are included in “Foreign currency translation adjustment” on the statement of equity.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

F-5
 

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues from the sale of natural gas are recognized when title passes to customers, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sale price is fixed or determinable.

 

Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of less than three months.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of current market value or cost. The cost of inventories is based on the FIFO (first in first out) method and includes expenditures and other charges directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Inventories are comprised of pipe and other material used to extract gas.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at their transaction amounts less allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to the extent that there is a likelihood that any of the amounts due will not be obtained.

 

The allowance is based on historical experience, current and expected economic trends and specific information about customer accounts. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during those reporting periods.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization, based on cost less estimated salvage value of the asset, are primarily determined under either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets replaced are retired.

 

Production costs are expensed as incurred. Production involves lifting the gas to the surface and gathering, treating, field processing and field storage of the gas. Production costs are those incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities. These costs become part of the cost of gas produced.

 

Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures during the construction phase of multiyear projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of acquiring the constructed assets. The project construction phase commences with the development of the detailed engineering design and ends when the constructed assets are ready for their intended use.

 

Gas properties (wells) are accounted for using the successful efforts method of accounting whereby property acquisitions, successful exploratory wells, development costs, and support equipment and facilities are capitalized and depleted using the unit-of-production method. Unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed when a well is determined to be non-productive. Other exploratory expenditures, including geological and geophysical cost are expensed as incurred.

 

The Company capitalizes costs related to exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic wells for more than one year if the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If these conditions are not met or if information that raises substantial doubt about the economic or operational viability of the project is obtained, the well would be assumed impaired, and its cost, net of any salvage value, would be charged to operating expenses.

 

F-6
 

 

The capitalized costs of all other plant and equipment are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

 

Long-lived assets, including gas properties, are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Such events include write-downs of proved reserves based on field performance, significant decreases in the market value of an asset, significant change in the extent or manner of use of or a physical change in an asset, and a more-likely-than-not expectation that a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly sooner than the end of its previously estimated useful life. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of their carrying amount with their estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. Impaired assets are written down to their estimated fair values, generally their discounted, future net before-tax cash flows.

 

Asset retirement obligation and environmental liabilities

 

The Company incurs asset retirement obligations for certain assets. These obligations may include the costs of asset disposal and additional soil remediation. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a long-lived asset and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the estimation of fair value, the Company uses assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation; technical assessments of the assets; estimated amounts and timing of settlements; discount rates; and inflation rates. The costs associated with these liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value.

 

Liabilities for environmental costs are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed. Expenditures that create future benefits or contribute to future revenue generation are capitalized.

 

The gross amount of environmental liabilities is based on the Company’s best estimate of future costs using currently available technology. Future amounts are not discounted.

 

Start-up Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 720, “Start-up Activities,” the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.

 

Common Stock Issued For Other Than Cash Proceeds

 

Services purchased and other transactions settled in the Company's common stock are recorded at the estimated fair value of the common stock issued if that value is more readily determinable than the fair value of the consideration received.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes represent amounts paid or estimated to be payable, net of amounts refunded or estimated to be refunded, for the current year and the change in deferred taxes, exclusive of amounts recorded in other comprehensive income.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of such temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

F-7
 

 

In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, the Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement. The recognition threshold requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position in order to record any financial statement benefit. If it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained, then the Company must measure the tax position to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company was in a loss position and the basic and diluted loss per share are the same since the effect of stock options and warrants on loss per share was anti-dilutive and thus not included in the diluted loss per share calculation.

 

Significant Concentrations

 

There is currently one customer that makes up 100% of total gas revenue as of September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, respectively. The loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

 

Based on our review of recently enacted accounting standards, the Company believes that none of them are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating environment

 

The principal business activities of the Group are within Ukraine. Emerging markets such as Ukraine are subject to different risks than more developed markets, including economic, political and social, legal and legislative risks. As has happened in the past, actual or perceived financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could adversely affect the investment climate in Ukraine and the Ukraine’s economy in general. Laws and regulations affecting businesses operating in Ukraine are subject to rapid changes and the Group’s assets and operations could be at risk if there are any adverse changes in the political and business environment.

 

Taxation

 

The tax environment in Ukraine is constantly changing and characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which may be applied retroactively and are often unclear, contradictory, and subject to interpretation. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges and these amounts could be material. Future tax examinations could raise issues or assessments which are contrary to the Group companies’ tax filings.

 

F-12
 

 

Management believes that it has provided adequately for tax liabilities based on its interpretations of applicable tax legislation and official pronouncements.

 

Environmental liabilities

 

The Group routinely evaluates their obligations relating to new and changing environmental legislation.

 

As liabilities in respect of the Group’s environmental obligations are able to be determined, they are recognized immediately. The likelihood and amount of liabilities relating to environmental obligations under proposed or any future legislation cannot be reasonably estimated at present and could become material. Under existing legislation, however, management believes that there are no significant unrecorded liabilities or contingencies, which could have a materially adverse effect on the operating results or financial position of the Group.

 

Political Risks

 

After continuous political and social turbulence that resulted in dismissal of the acting President of Ukraine, on February 27, 2014, the Ukrainian parliament appointed an interim government with a mandate to execute the Ukraine-EU Association and Free trade agreements, negotiated USD 16 billion IMF program in order to support implementation of liberal economic, judicial and social reforms. The Parliament also scheduled presidential elections which took place May 25, 2014. The US and European Union also agreed to provide additional USD 20 billion financial and technical support for Ukraine in light of its recent economic and military tensions with Russian Federation. The Parliament also scheduled the presidential elections, which took place on May 25, 2014. As a result Mr. Petro Poroshenko won the presidency with overwhelming majority in first round.

 

Political unrest in Ukraine of the past months and recent increase in political, economic and military pressures from Russian Federation, had fueled activity of various secessionist groups in the eastern part of the country. This may have an adverse effect on the national security and economy, and increase risks of doing business in Ukraine or investing in the companies doing business in Ukraine. The situation is exacerbated by the tensions with the Russian Federation which annexed the Crimean peninsula in March 2014 and built up a significant military presence at its border with Ukraine. Russia actively provides financial, military and human resources to illegal armed groups, which are active in some north-eastern parts of Donbass. In order to counteract to such activities and potential consequences, starting from April, the government, enforcement agencies and armed forces of Ukraine are implementing anti terrorists operation (ATO).

 

Petr Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine elected in May 2014, presented his program of peaceful regulation of the situation in the East of Ukraine. Based on this peaceful plan, the signing of the protocol which contains the steps and measures aimed at de-escalation of the situation in Donetsk and Lugansk regions took place in Minsk at the beginning of September.

 

This protocol was signed by Ukraine, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and Russia and contains 12 steps which regulate the process of implementation of peace on the given territory. In connection with signing the cessation of arms and cease-fire was announced. Together with that, the terrorists do not follow this condition and the locations of Ukrainian army undergo the firing.

 

At the end of August, the President of Ukraine announced about the dismissal of the Parliament and the pre-term elections to the Parliament on October 26th.

 

During September-October the Parliament adopted several important laws including the laws aimed at the reforms in Ukraine and improvement of the investment climate in Ukraine: laws on the public prosecutor’s office, the National anti-corruption bureau of Ukraine and on the prevention of corruption.

 

The territory where the licensed area of the Company is located and the operation activity is implemented is located on the territory controlled by Ukrainian military forces. The bank system (commercial banks and the National Bank of Ukraine) and the system of the state regulation (state and tax administrations) fully function, which enables the Company to receive the cash assets in time and make all necessary payments.

 

F-13
 

 

October 26, 2014 early parliamentary elections took place. The elections were held under a mixed system: 225 deputies from parties and 225 deputies by majority districts. According to the results of the parliamentary elections were held six political parties: Block Poroshenko, the Narodnuy Front (Yatsenyuk), Samopomich, Opposition bloc, the Radical Party and the Batkivshchyna (Yulia Tymoshenko). Four parties announced the beginning of negotiations on forming a coalition and formation of a new Cabinet of Ministers. The coalition will be formed on the basis of the European choice of Ukraine, the need for structural economic reforms and the restoration of the territorial integrity of the country. The European Union, the International Monetary Fund and others international financial institution support efforts of Ukraine government and provide financial assistance and loans.

 

Such events and circumstances have an adverse effect on investment climate in Ukraine and in case of further escalation might have further negative impact on the business environment.

 

Equipment

 

On July 22, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement for supply of a two-stage compressor in the Ukraine. The cost of the compressor is 19,090 EUR. The equipment will be complete and delivered in approximately 11 weeks. The payment for the equipment is to be made by two payments: 40% was paid after the signing of agreement (11,454 EUR) and the balance of 60% after the delivery. Delivery is expected in the Ukraine in November.

 

NOTE 12 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred $3,275,040 in accumulated deficit since its inception and has generated $57,236 and $175,946, in operating revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements through equity financing and the success of future operations. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated events from September 30, 2014 through the date the financial statements were issued and determined no subsequent events warranted accounting disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

THE DISCUSSION IN THIS SECTION CONTAINS CERTAIN STATEMENTS OF A FORWARD-LOOKING NATURE RELATING TO FUTURE EVENTS OR OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE. WORDS SUCH AS "ANTICIPATES," "BELIEVES," "EXPECTS," "INTENDS," "FUTURE," "MAY" AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS OR VARIATIONS OF SUCH WORDS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, BUT ARE NOT THE ONLY MEANS OF IDENTIFYING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. SUCH STATEMENTS ARE ONLY PREDICTIONS AND ACTUAL EVENTS OR RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY. IN EVALUATING SUCH STATEMENTS, WE URGE YOU TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER VARIOUS FACTORS IDENTIFIED IN THIS REPORT, WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE INDICATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

 

The Company is focused on growing gas production volumes in Ukraine through expansion of its assets base by exploring and developing its existing license field, as well as through evaluation and pursuit of new investment opportunities. The Company’s management anticipates that in addition to the existing assets which will continue to provide ongoing revenues from our productive gas wells, the Company's surface and sub-surface facility optimization, expected new drilling activities and discovery of new resources will contribute to increased production volumes.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Since 2004, the Company explored and developed the shallow gas-bearing horizons only at two of seven domes within the license area; we currently operate only two productive wells. Thus, we believe that the Company has unrealized opportunity and can create the base for further expansion. We have developed a production increase plan for years 2014-2018, key elements of this plan include:

 

Increase production within overthrust/belowthrust domes. We plan to enhance our gas production volumes on Northern Tomashevskoye and Southern Tomashevskoye domes through fracking and stimulation on our existing two exploratory, but currently suspended wells. Our 2014-2018 drilling program also includes drilling three new “shallow” and four new “deep” operated wells on Northern Tomashevskoye and Southern Tomashevskoye domes with implementation of fracking and stimulation technology to enhance initial production. In addition we plan to drill nine new “deep” exploratory wells on Zolotarivska, Toshkievskaya and Petrograd-Donetsk domes with fracking and stimulation.

 

Start of AMM production. We intend to start production of abandoned mine methane (AMM) by modernizing degasification equipment and connecting our current two degassing wells with existing delivery infrastructure. In addition, we intend to significantly enhance our coal bed methane (CBM) production by drilling on the developed domes numerous new shallow vent-wells up to 500m each.

 

Conduct further geological research within our Lisichansk-Toskovskay area. We intend to obtain new geological information for potential additional under-fault gas resources by reworking and deepening the 7K well up to 1,500 meters (under the fault) or drilling a new well up to 1,500 meters. In any case, the Company will hold the cement stabilization on the horizon 600, enter into production and produce the gas methane on 7-K from productive horizon at depth of 555-570 m.

 

We will also focus our efforts to carry out modern geological studies on the entire license area through 2D and 3D seismic as well as modern helium survey. As a result, we expect to compile a geophysical database and obtain geological proofs to update our reserves valuation. The Company plans to conduct geological research in 2015.

 

Our 2014-2018 strategic and operational plan is subject to various factors, including the ability to obtain adequate financing, market conditions, gas field services and equipment availability, commodity prices, drilling results and political instability. While we continue to explore opportunities to enhance our gas production volumes, our main efforts will be focused on drilling and completing wells. If we choose to pursue the rapid expansion strategy, we will contemplate obtaining greenfield licenses directly from government authorities and acquire underperforming existing operators that have room to grow.

Due to unfavorable political and military situation, the Company has decided not to initiate a drilling program in 2014. Since the Company’s licensed area is located at a place under the control of public authorities and the Ukrainian army, the Company began negotiations with the service (drilling) companies about the possible start drilling in the first quarter of 2015 shallow wells. These wells will be drilled for the development of production of AMM.

Other income and other sales. Our other sales and income mainly included revenues using the Company-owned transportable machinery and equipment, such as a cementing unit, compressor unit and pump set to render services to third parties. Other income and other sales decreased by $7,474 and $15,976 to $9,811 and $27,016 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2013.

 

Operating and maintenance expenses. Our operating and maintenance expenses of $42,129 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 mainly included wages and salaries of the gas production personnel, cost of materials, taxes and duties. Operating and maintenance expenses decreased by $28,164 and $48,170 to $42,129 and $134,724 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2013, mainly due to decreases in material expenses.

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. G&A expenses decreased by $18,851 and $48,189 to $20,008 and $90,644 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2013. Substantial cost saving is connected with the fact that in the relevant period of 2013, the company attracted the engineering companies for preparation of the necessary documentation for submission to the state authorities for extension of the special permit for production of gas by Ukrainian companies.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expenses. Our DD&A expense decreased by $10,136 and $27,878 to $15,541 and $53,101 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2013.

 

Professional fees. Professional fee expenses decreased by $3,561,845 and $3,340,650 to $52,139 and $346,409 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2013. During the respective period of 2013, the Company made purchases of Ukrainian assets, accompanied by significant professional costs, which activity was not repeated in the 2014 period. Professional fee expenses in 2013 included legal fees and consulting expenses related to the preparation, execution and consummation of a series of transactions we entered during year 2013 pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, Stock Purchase Option Agreement and Private Placement of Common Stock.

 

Loss from operations. Our operating loss decreased by $3,589,275 and $3,384,997 to $75,581 and $448,931 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to same periods ended September 30, 2013. This decrease in operating loss is primarily attributed to a decrease in professional fees.

 

Net loss. Our net loss decreased by $3,591,456 and $3,382,885 to $80,012 and $455,612 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to same periods ended September 30, 2013. This decrease in operating loss is primarily attributed to a decrease in professional fees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred $3,275,040 in accumulated deficit since its inception and has generated $57,236 and $175,946, in operating revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements through debt or equity financing and the success of future operations. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet our needs and we can provide no assurance that we will continue to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Our initial drilling program for 2014 was designed to provide flexibility in identifying suitable well locations and in the timing and size of capital investment. Due to unfavorable political developments in Ukraine, as described in Note 12 to the attached accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the company decided to postpone the beginning of drilling of new wells to the first quarter of 2015. Since the drilling program in 2014 has not been implemented, we do not expect a significant increase in our cash flow from operations.

 

The following is a summary of our change in cash and cash equivalents for the Nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

   For the

Net Increase (Decrease) in cash   (77,430)   369,616    (447,046)

 

Operating activities.

 

During the Nine months ended September 30, 2014 cash used in operating activities was $206,578 as compared to cash used in operating activities during the same period ended September 30, 2013 in the amount of $2,929,300. This decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributed to a decrease in professional fees.

 

Investing activities.

 

During the Nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $3,281 and $966,769, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities in 2014 was primarily attributed to a decrease in deposits for investments compared to the prior year period.

 

Financing activities.

 

During the Nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $142,128 and $4,266,184, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities in 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock for cash compared to the prior year period. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities" (SPEs).

 

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
