NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Operations

United American Petroleum Corp. (“United”) is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.  United’s principal business is the acquisition and management of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases.  

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. The principles for interim consolidated financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the condensed results for the interim periods. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. We made certain reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the current presentation.

2.

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred a net loss and negative operating cash flows since inception through September 30, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management is implementing plans to sustain the Company’s cash flow from operating activities and/or acquire additional capital funding. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3.

Related Party Transactions

 

Our officers and directors are also the directors and shareholders of a related party company that previously owned working interests in several of our oil and gas interests. As of September 30, 2014 the Company had a receivable in the amount of $97,493 due from this related party, with working interest amounts payable. This represents a $2,043 decrease from an amount of $99,536 as of December 31, 2013.

4.

Convertible Notes and Detached Warrants

 

The following table summarizes the changes in our convertible notes as of September 30, 2014:

 

Convertible notes payable		Face value				Debt discount				Convertible notes payable, net

Convertible Promissory Note – January 31, 2013

 

On January 31, 2013, we entered into a convertible promissory note (“Note”) with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) pursuant to which JMJ agreed to lend the Company up to $400,000 in multiple installments in exchange for a senior secured convertible promissory note with a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price per share during the previous 25 trading days. The first installment of $55,000 was delivered less a fee of $5,000 on the date of the Note. The second installment of $25,000 was delivered in April 2013. The Note matures on January 31, 2014, or upon default, whichever is earlier, and bears interest at an annual rate of 12%. As described in Note 5, the embedded conversion feature qualified for liability classification at fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $55,000 to the Note payable on issuance of the first installment. The Company also recorded a discount of $25,000 to the Note payable on issuance of the second installment. As of September 30, 2014 there was $14,783 in outstanding principal and $18,333 in outstanding original interest discount (OID) on this Note.

 

On January 7, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 2,800,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0011 for a total of $6,380 principal converted. Later in January 2014, JMJ submitted another conversion request under its Note; however, the Company was unable to comply with this request due to insufficient authorized shares of common stock. The lack of authorized shares constituted a default pursuant to the Note. The Company promptly notified JMJ of its inability to honor the conversion request. Subsequently, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common shares of the Company to 750,000,000 shares, effective June 3, 2014. JMJ has not expressed an intention to assert the remedies set forth in the Note at this time.

 

On June 9, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 3,000,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0011 for a total of $3,300 principal converted.

 

On June 27, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 4,600,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.00115 for a total of $5,290 principal converted.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, JMJ exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 34,900,000 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0005 for a total of $17,555 principal converted.

 

As of September 30, 2014, there was $23,667 in outstanding principal and interest on these Notes.

Convertible Note – February 19, 2013

 

On February 19, 2013, we entered into a Note with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”) pursuant to which Asher lent $103,500 to us in a single installment (minus fees of $3,500 paid to the Company’s securities counsel). Principal and interest outstanding under the Note can be converted into common stock of the Company at a price equal to 60% of the average lowest trading price per share during the previous 10 trading days. The embedded conversion option cannot be exercised until 180 days from the date of the note and as such, was not priced until exercisable. The total number of conversion shares is calculated by dividing the amount of the notes by the conversion price.

 

On January 2, 2014, Asher exercised a portion of the conversion rights of the note for 2,235,294 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.0017, for a total of $3,800 accrued interest converted.

 

As of December 31, 2013 the principal on this note had been fully converted. Upon conversion of the final accrued interest of $3,800 in the first quarter of 2014 described above, the obligations relating to the note were fully satisfied.

 

Convertible Note – April 22, 2013

 

On April 22, 2013, we entered into another Note with Asher pursuant to which Asher lent $63,000 (minus fees of $3,000) to us in a single installment with a conversion price equal to 60% of the average lowest trading price per share during 5 of the previous 10 trading days.

 

On September 23, 2013, Asher lent us an additional $50,000 in a single installment (minus fees of $3,000) under the same terms as the previous installment made April 22, 2013.

 

On January 7, 2014, Asher converted $5,240 of principal of the Note into 2,757,895 shares of common stock. On January 13, 2014, Asher converted $4,950 of principal of the Note into 2,750,000 shares of common stock.

 

In January 2014, Asher submitted a conversion request under one of its Notes; however, the Company did not have sufficient shares of authorized common stock to honor the conversion request. Asher issued us a notice of default; however, Asher immediately waived the default provided that we began the process to increase our number of authorized shares. Asher later reissued the notice of default to us due to our delay in commencing the increase process. Therefore, we initially recognized a liability and a loss of $102,810 in the first quarter of 2014, which represented the additional amount due under the Notes in the event of default. Subsequently, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 750,000,000, effective June 3, 2014. In the second quarter of 2014 we received confirmation from Asher’s legal counsel that the penalty was waived in Q2and as such we de-recognized the penalty liability as of June 30, 2014. Due to the reversal of the penalty in Q2 2014, there is zero net impact to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

On June 4, 2014, Asher converted $4,690 of principal of the Note into 2,758,824 shares of common stock.

 

On June 16, 2014, Asher converted $12,150 of principal of the Note into 4,860,000 shares of common stock.

 

On June 24, 2014, Asher converted $7,750 of principal of the Note into 4,843,750 shares of common stock.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, Asher exercised all of the conversion rights of the notes for 107,870,304 shares of common respectively at a stock price of $0.00073 for a total of $82,713 principal and accrued interest converted.

As of September 30, 2014, the principal on this note had been fully converted and the obligations relating to the note were fully satisfied.

 

5.

Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company measures fair value in accordance with a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

	Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
	Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s consolidated financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

		Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
LIABILITIES:
Conversion option liability (as of September 30, 2014)			—				—				—				42,369

 

During 2013, the Company issued debt instruments that were convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price per share during the previous 25 trading days. The conversion options embedded in these instruments contain no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement and as a result are classified as liabilities under ASC 815. Additionally, because the number of shares to be issued upon settlement is indeterminate, all other share settle-able instruments must also be classified as liabilities. As a result, the Company measured its outstanding warrants on September 30, 2014 at fair value and re-classified these amounts from additional paid-in capital to derivative liabilities.

The following is a reconciliation of the conversion option liability and embedded warrant liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value:

 

Beginning balance December 31, 2013		$	139,508
Additions due to new convertible debt			152,810
Reclassification of derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital due to conversion of related notes payable			(153,426	)
Mark to market of debt derivative			(96,523	)
Debt derivative as of September 30, 2014		$	42,369

 

The Company’s conversion option liabilities are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These consolidated financial liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to value its derivatives based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 158%-398%, risk free rate of 0.01-0.07% and an expected term of 0 years to .75 year.

 

6.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal matters

 

In April 2014, we settled a judgment that had been rendered against the Company in the amount of $19,856 plus attorneys’ fees of $73,669. We settled this judgment by assigning our interest in the Walker Smith lease and having the other working interest owners assign their interest in the lease as well.

 

7.

Recent Events

 

On February 26, 2014, the Company completed the sale of a 46% working interest (comprising a 34.5% net revenue interest) in an oil, gas and mineral lease covering 430 acres in Duval County, Texas, to RTO Exploration, LLC (“Buyer”) for the purchase price of $400,000. In addition to the purchase price, in 2013 the Buyer paid a $10,000 non-refundable option payment to the Company. The purchase price was the result of negotiations between the Company and the Buyer.

 

On July 7, 2014, we assigned our interest in the Crouch, Lane Heady, Shillingburg, Duvalle 1&2 and RP Wilson well leases to DMV Pipeline LLC. We received $50,000 as consideration for the assignment of interest.

 

To account for the sale, we applied the two step process required by the full cost rules. First we calculated the impact of the sale of the working interest on the Company’s depletion rate, determining that the resulting change was not significant (less than 10%). Therefore, step two of the process (calculate loss or gain on sale) was not applicable, and we recognized the $50,000 proceeds as a direct reduction to the full cost pool.

Revenues.  We had total revenues of $188,368 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $177,057 and well operating revenues of $11,311.  This was a $76,484 increase from total revenues of $111,884 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $106,634 and well operation revenues of $5,250. Barrels of oil per day produced (BOPD) increased to an average of 22.12 BOPD from 12.01 BOPD for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Our administrative revenue increase was a result of income derived from well administrative/operator fees charged through United Operating, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, to third party well owners for managing and accounting for the development and production of their oil and gas property interests. Administrative revenue was only recognized on wells where the Company did not own an interest. The Company also operates certain wells where the Company also has an ownership interest. For these partially owned wells, no administrative income is recognized. Rather, operating fees received from other well interest owners are recorded as a reduction to the full cost pool per the full cost rules.

 

The following table sets forth the revenue and production data for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 we incurred lease operating expenses of $42,274, a decrease of $40,243 or 49% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, as a result of Company incurring lower operating expenses during 2014.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, our depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expenses increased by $11,956, or 81%. These expenses increased largely due to higher depletion expense based on revised well life and production estimates from December 31, 2013.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $7,519 or 5% during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the prior period, was largely due to an increase in officer compensation and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Net Operating Loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, our total net operating loss was $41,195 as compared to a net operating loss of $142,447 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an improvement of $95,252 or 67% from the prior period.

 

Other Income (Expense). For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred interest expense of $10,019 associated with the amortization of debt discount related to the conversion features on our convertible notes, compared to interest expense of $193,956 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, relating to our outstanding convertible promissory notes. We recorded a loss on embedded derivatives of $29,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a gain on embedded derivatives of $29,186 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. We also recorded a loss on conversion of convertible notes of $47,688 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to conversion prices that were below par value of our common stock.

 

Net Loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, our net loss was $134,776 as compared to a net loss of $307,217 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an improvement of $172,441 or 56% from the prior period. The decrease in net loss for the current quarter was largely due to higher revenues and lower interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013

 

Revenues.  We had total revenues of $498,750 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $482,339 and well operating revenues of $16,411.  This was a $2,155 increase from total revenues of $496,595 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $475,145 and well operation revenues of $21,450. Barrels of oil per day produced (BOPD) increased to an average of 19.83 BOPD from 18.71 BOPD for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred lease operating expenses of $295,410, a decrease of $59,520 or 17% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was driven by fewer workovers in 2014, offset by the Company incurring higher extraction costs on its wells during 2014.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expenses decreased by $10,568, or 11%. These expenses increased largely due to lower depletion expense based on revised well life and production estimates from December 31, 2013.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $81,857 or 9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the prior period, was largely due to an increase in officer compensation and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Net Operating Loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our total net operating loss was $453,650 as compared to a net operating loss of $373,948 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $79,702 or 21% from the prior period. Our net operating loss increased over the prior period due to higher costs of oil and gas extraction on the Company’s wells.

 

Other Income (Expense). For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred interest expense of $189,559 associated with the amortization of debt discount related to the conversion features on our convertible notes, compared to interest expense of $274,894 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, relating to our outstanding convertible promissory notes. We recorded a gain on embedded derivatives of $96,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a gain on embedded derivatives of $96,088 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Net Loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our net loss was $594,374 as compared to a net loss of $552,754 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $41,620 or 7.5% from the prior period. Net loss for the current period was largely due to an increase in operating expenses partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used $649,656 in operations, largely due to our net loss for the period and a decrease in other payable. We received proceeds from investing activities of $450,000 from the sale of a working interest in an oil and gas property, and we had no cash provided by or used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company had outstanding convertible promissory notes during the period, and most of the remaining principal and accrued interest on these notes were converted to common shares. We did not obtain new financing during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2014.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon the evaluation by our principal executive and principal financial officer, of those controls and procedures, performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to our over reliance on consultants in our accounting and financial statement closing processes. To address the need for more effective internal controls, management has plans to improve the existing controls and implement new controls as our financial position and capital availability improves.

 

Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
