NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

 

1.	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and business

 

West Texas Resources, Inc. ( the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010 under the name Texas Resources Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation. On June 30, 2011, the Company changed its name to West Texas Resources, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company intends to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in North America. From its inception, the Company has devoted its activities to developing a business plan, raising capital and acquiring operating assets.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2014.

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) that contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not earned any significant revenues since inception. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $101,785 and $237,019, respectively, In addition, the Company had an accumulative deficit of $1,379,194 and $1,277,409, as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company will require up to $1 million of additional capital in order to fund its proposed operations over the next 12 months. Management plans to continue to seek sources of financing on favorable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Management expects to monitor and control the Company’s operating costs until cash is available through financing or operating activities. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these plans. The Company anticipates that losses will continue until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues to support its operations.

 

Oil and gas properties

 

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.

 

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.

 

 

WEST TEXAS RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we did not identify any impairment on the Company’s investments or assets.

 

Asset retirement obligations 

 

ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, clarifies that a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. ASC 410-20 requires a liability to be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

 

Except for the Eastland County investment, the asset retirement obligations for the other properties are recognized by the operators of these properties and deducted against the revenue interest of the Company.

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and other cash flow statement supplemental information

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration of risk exposure. Management believes this risk is not significant due to the financial strength of the financial institutions utilized by the Company.

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of these assets is included in income in the period of disposition.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Income taxes

 

The Company reports certain expenses differently for financial and tax reporting purposes and, accordingly, provides for the related deferred taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

 

Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from 2011 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

The Company did not file its income tax returns for fiscal year 2012 and 2013. The Company believes that it should not have any material impact on the financials because the Company did not have any tax liabilities due to net loss incurred for these years.

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  For quarter ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-based payments

 

Compensation costs for all share-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value and are recognized over the vesting period. The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions. Excess tax benefits will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

 

The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

·

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

·

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the current year presentation.

Recent accounting pronouncements

2.	Oil and Gas Properties

 

Port Hudson Field, Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana

 

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company acquired a 7.24625% working interest in the oil and gas leases, wells and attendant production in the Port Hudson field, Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, for a total consideration of $702,900. The Company’s working interest is subject to certain overriding royalty interests, subject to which it has a 5.65158% net revenue interest in the Port Hudson Field.

 

On April 5, 2014, we entered into an agreement with EnTek Partners, LLC for the sale of 44.1% of our working interest in the Port Hudson field for the total consideration of $290,000, less any payments received by us for production from the Port Hudson field occurring after January 1, 2014. Pursuant to our agreement with EnTek Partners, we sold to EnTek an undivided 3.1956% of 8/8^th working interest (2.4926% net revenue interest) out of the working interests in the Port Hudson field owned by us. The transactions under the Entek Partners agreement closed on April 16, 2014, with an effective date of January 1, 2014. After giving effect to the sale, we continue to hold a 4.0506% working interest (3.1595% net revenue interest) in Port Hudson field. During the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a loss on sale of the working interest of $19,983.

 

Pursuant to the same agreement, EnTek Partners has also agreed to provide to the Company $275,000 in non-recourse financing to pay for its share of a dual recompletion in the D-1 well at West Cam 225 property in exchange for its agreement to provide EnTek Partners with 75% of the net profits derived by the Company from the West Cam 225 property until such time as EnTek Partners has recouped 100% of the recompletion costs advanced on the Company’s behalf and 50% of the net profits thereafter.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2014, upon the sale of the 44.1% interest to EnTek, we recorded accrual of revenue interest payable to EnTek against the revenue we received for the period from effective date of the sale to June 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding payable amount was $30,000. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we confirmed with EnTek that EnTek’s revenue interest was fully paid so we reversed the overaccrual of $30,000 and recorded as other income.

 

West Cam 225, Louisiana

 

On August 16, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Enovation Resources, LLC to purchase a 10.0167% working interest (7.2120% net revenue interest) in an offshore oil and gas field, known as West Cam 225, located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Cameron, Louisiana.

Birnie Field,Motley County, Texas

 

On September 17, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Escopeta Oil and Gas Corporation to purchase a 10% working interest (7.5% net revenue interest) in a natural gas prospect located in the Birnie field in Motley County, Texas. The working interest concerns 5,760 leased acres in the Palo Duro Basin prospect. Our purchase price for the working interest was $70,000. In 2014, the operator drilled an initial well on the prospect, however the drilling was unsuccessful and resulted in a dry hole. The operator agreed to provide us, for no additional consideration, a 1% working interest in the Stansell field prospect described below.

 

Stansell Field, Floyd County, Texas

 

We hold a 1% working interest in an oil prospect located in Floyd County, Texas. The working interest comprises 15,000 leased acres in the southern section of the Palo Duro basin. The initial project will be the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well, an existing wellbore that was drilled in 2006. The original drilling encountered oil shows in three separate reservoirs and the operator intends to re-enter and recomplete the Stansell #1-A using current fracture stimulation technology. We have a carried 1% working interest in the Stansell #1-A well through the tanks. The operator plans to commence the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well in December 2014.

 

Wolfcamp Field, Hale County, Texas

 

In June and July 2014, we acquired non-operating leases covering approximately 1,070 gross mineral acre leases in the Wolfcamp field located in Hale County, Texas. The leases were acquired for cash payments of $45,484. The leases have a primary term of five years with the Company option to extend the term for another five years. The leased properties constitute the surface acreage comprising a natural gas prospect, for which we hold 50% of the working interest and 40% net revenue interest. The leased properties are subject to a 20% royalty interest held by the owners and a third party. We are currently evaluating the Company options for the exploitation of the leased properties, including the Company sale of the leases or the Company farm-out of the leases to a natural gas operator. 

 

As of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, total oil and gas properties amounted to $865,810 and $885,810, net of accumulated depletion.

General

 

We were formed on December 9, 2010 under the laws of Nevada for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and development in North America. We commenced revenue producing oil and gas operations effective as of April 1, 2013.

 

Port Hudson Field

 

In August 2013, we acquired a 7.24625% working interest (5.65158% net revenue interest) in the oil and gas leases, wells and attendant production in the Port Hudson field, Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, from Wells Fargo Energy Capital, Inc. for total consideration of $702,900. Our acquisition of the Port Hudson working interest was effective as of April 1, 2013. Accordingly, we have received revenue from the Port Hudson working interest commencing on April 1, 2013.

 

On April 15, 2014, we entered into an agreement with EnTek Partners, LLC for the sale of 44.1% of our working interest in the Port Hudson field for the total consideration of $290,000, less any payments received by us for production from the Port Hudson field occurring after January 1, 2014. Pursuant to our agreement with EnTek Partners, we sold to EnTek an undivided 3.1956% of 8/8ths working interest (2.4926% net revenue interest) out of the working interests in the Port Hudson field owned by us. The transactions under the EnTek Partners agreement closed on April 16, 2014, with an effective date of January 1, 2014. After giving effect to the sale, we continue to hold a 4.0506% working interest (3.1595% net revenue interest) in the Port Hudson field.

 

The Port Hudson field has three producing wells that have produced a total of 1.29 million bbls as of December 31, 2014 with estimated total remaining recoverable proved developed producing reserves of 449,000 bbls (14,186 bbls net to West Texas Resources after giving effect to the transaction with EnTek Partners), and 26,000 bbls of proven developed behind pipe reserves (821 bbls net to West Texas Resources after giving effect to the transaction with EnTek Partners) and are currently producing approximately 260 bbls per day. The operator of the Port Hudson field has no current plans for the further development of the property.

 

 

 

West Cam 225 Field

 

In September 2013, we acquired a 10.0167% working interest (7.2120% net revenue interest) in an offshore oil and gas field, known as West Cam 225, located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Cameron, Louisiana, from Enovation Resources, LLC for total consideration of $50,000. Concurrent with our purchase of the working interest, we also paid the operator $230,459 as our allocable share of the expenses associated with the West Cam 225 property to build a new incremental flowline connecting the D-1 platform to the Stingray Pipeline System. Pursuant to our April 15, 2014 agreement with EnTek Partners, LLC, EnTek Partners has also agreed to provide to us $275,000 in non-recourse financing to pay for our share of a dual recompletion in the D-1 well at the West Cam 225 property in exchange for our agreement to provide EnTek Partners with 75% of the net profits derived by us from the West Cam 225 property until such time as EnTek Partners has recouped 100% of the recompletion costs advanced on our behalf and 50% of the net profits thereafter. The transactions under the EnTek Partners agreement closed on April 16, 2014, with an effective date of January 1, 2014.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the West Cam 225 field had proven reserves of 8,996 mmcf of gas or 1,499 thousand net equivalent bbls (108,131 boes net to West Texas Resources after giving effect to the transaction with EnTek Partners) and has two producing wells, the #7 and the D-1, that were previously shut-in and waiting on a sales pipeline connection. The pipeline was completed and tested in August 2013 and now the two wells are currently producing at a combined intermittent gross rate of 1.6 mmcfd. As of December 31, 2014, the D-1 well has overproduced its expected recoverable reserves in its original completion in the 6,800’ sand and is currently producing at a high water cut. The operator presently intends to perform a recompletion on the D-1 well in the second quarter of 2015, at which time the D-1 well will be recompleted uphole into the 5,900’ sand and the field is expected to produce at a combined gross rate of 5.5 mmcfd and thereby provide access to 7.93 bcf of gross proved behind pipe reserves.

 

Wolfcamp Field

 

In June and July 2014, we acquired non-operating leases covering approximately 1,070 gross mineral acre leases in the Wolfcamp field located in Hale County, Texas. The leases were acquired for cash payments of $45,484. The leases have a primary term of five years with our option to extend the term for another five years. The leased properties constitute the surface acreage comprising a natural gas prospect, for which we hold 50% of the working interest and 40% net revenue interest. The leased properties are subject to a 20% royalty interest held by the owners and a third party. We are currently evaluating our options for the exploitation of the leased properties, including our sale of the leases or our farm-out of the leases to a natural gas operator.

 

Sunshine Prospect

 

On August 1, 2014, we acquired from Restech Resources, LLC to purchase a 15% (14.25% net revenue interest) in a non-operating oil and gas prospect located in Landry Parish, Louisiana. The working interest concerns 248 gross acres and net acres in the Sunshine Prospect. Our purchase price for the working interest was $76,500. The operator presently intends to drill an initial well on the Sunshine prospect on 2015.

 

Stansell Field

 

We hold a 1% working interest in an oil prospect located in Floyd County, Texas. The working interest comprises 15,000 leased acres in the southern section of the Palo Duro basin. The initial project will be the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well, an existing wellbore that was drilled in 2006. The original drilling encountered oil shows in three separate reservoirs and the operator intends to re-enter and recomplete the Stansell #1-A using current fracture stimulation technology. We have a carried 1% working interest in the Stansell #1-A well through the tanks. The operator commence the re-entry of the Stansell #1-A well in January 2015.

 

Results of Operations

 

We commenced revenue producing oil and gas operations effective as of April 1, 2013. From April 1, 2013 to December 2013, all of our revenue was derived from our working interest in the Port Hudson field. Commencing in January 2014, we have derived revenue from our working interest in the West Cam 225 field. During the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $64,339 and $101,559 of revenue, respectively. The decrease in revenue was due to our sale of a portion of our working interest in the Port Hudson field in April 2014 along with the decline in price for oil and natural gas in the second half of the calendar year 2014, offset by our realization of $25,360 of revenue during the three month period ended December 31, 2014 from our working interest in the West Cam 225 field.

 

 

 

 

For the three month period ended December 31, 2014, we had general and administrative expenses of $128,121 compared to general and administrative expenses of $163,899 during the prior year period. The decrease in expenses is attributable to a decrease in consulting and professional fees.

 

For the three month period ended December 31, 2014, we had other expenses of $68,003compared to other expenses of $174,679 during the prior year period. The decrease in other expenses is primarily to a decrease in interest expense and amortized debt discount in the amount of $106,676 during the period ended December 31, 2014, compared to the prior year period, related to our borrowings conducted during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2013. For the three month period ended December 31, 2014, we had other income of $30,000 attributable to a reversal of an over accrued liability relating to our sale of a portion of our working interest in the Port Hudson field, compared to other income of nil during the prior year period. For the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred a net loss of $101,785 and $237,019, respectively. The decrease in our net loss was the result of a decrease in expenses during the periods ended December 31, 2014 compared to the prior year periods.

 

Subject to our receipt of additional capital, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of additional equity interests in oil and gas properties to be thereafter exploited by us in conjunction with other oil and gas producers. As of the date of this report, we have no understandings or agreements in place concerning our acquisition of an interest in any other properties.

 

At the present time, we have two employees, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Stephen Jones and John Kerr, respectively, each of whom has limited experience in the oil and gas exploration and development business. Subject to our receipt of significant additional capital, we intend to hire senior management and staff with experience in oil and gas exploration. Until such time, we intend to pursue an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects as a non-operator. Based on that strategy, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of oil and natural gas interests in partnership with other companies with exploration, development and production expertise. We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing. Pursuant to this strategy, we intend to engage and rely on third party geologists and geophysicists, among others, to review the available data concerning each potential acquisition. In each case, we expect that the operator of the prospect will assemble the appropriate data and conduct the appropriate studies and that our consultants will conduct an independent review of the operator’s data and studies for purposes of advising us of the merits of each potential acquisition.

 

The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital. Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to acquire the additional capital required to finance the acquisition of such properties and our share of the development costs. As explained under “Financial Condition” below, we will seek additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.

 

Financial Condition

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had total assets of $951,752 and capital deficit of $354,634. Our ability to achieve commercial success is dependent on our ability to obtain additional capital either through the additional sale of our equity or debt securities, bank lines of credit, project financing or cash generated from oil and gas operations. We seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing. However, we have no agreements or understandings with any third parties at this time for our receipt of additional working capital and we have a limited history of generating cash from oil and gas operations. We may not be able to obtain access to capital as and when needed and, if so, the terms of any available financing may not be subject to commercially reasonable terms.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 states that due to our losses from operations and lack of working capital there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

 

 

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on this evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that as of December 31, 2014 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to existing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.

 

In connection with our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, and included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 14, 2015, we determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff, including:

 

	·	Due to our small size, we do not maintain effective internal controls to assure segregation of duties as we have only two employees who are responsible for initiating and approving of transactions, thereby creating the segregation of duties weakness;
	·	Our board of directors does not have an audit committee or a financial expert to maintain effective oversight of our financial reporting process; and
	·	Lack of formal policies or procedures to provide assurance that relevant information is identified, captured, processed, and reported in an appropriate and timely fashion.

 

(b)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
