UNITED AMERICAN PETROLEUM CORP.

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, 2014. 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 three month period ended June 30, 2015 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 June 30, 2015. 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 are also directors of a related-party company with which we do business. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had a receivable in the amount of $6,243 due from this related party, with working interest amounts payable. This represents a $35,270 decrease from an amount of $41,513 as of December 31, 2014.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 Phoenix Oil and Gas, LLC had a total of $7,303 in revenue for the wells it has an interest in. They also incurred $38,306 in joint interest billings and paid a total amount of $3,772 towards those joint interest billings for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

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

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report of United American Petroleum Corp. on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, particularly those identified with the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “objectives” and similar expressions. These statements reflect management’s best judgment based on factors known at the time of such statements. The reader may find discussions containing such forward-looking statements in the material set forth under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations,” generally, and specifically therein under the captions “Liquidity and Capital Resources” as well as elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed herein. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guarantee, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

 

The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates.

 

Our Business. We are an exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and gas properties. Our principal business is the acquisition of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases. Our primary focus is to develop our properties that have potential for near-term production. We also provide operational expertise for several third-party well owners out of our operation base in Austin, Texas. We currently have proved reserves in the State of Texas.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report.

 

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014

 

Revenues.   We had total revenues of $128,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 which were generated from oil and gas sales of $125,950 and well operating revenues of $2,175.   This was a $45,072 decrease from total revenues of $173,197 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $171,022 and well operation revenues of $2,175. Barrels of oil per day produced (BOPD) decreased to 16.80 BOPD from 21.73 BOPD for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Our administrative revenue is 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 full cost pool was reduced by $42,675 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $66,730 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

The following table sets forth the revenue and production data for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 we incurred lease operating expenses of $49,577, a decrease of $64,301 or 56% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, For the three months ended June 30, 2015 we incurred workover expenses of $1,167, which is comparable to $1,167 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. We also incurred legal, title, and administrative well expenses of $2,715 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2,365 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $350 or 12.89% resulting from increased legal costs related to operating the wells.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, our depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expenses decreased by $18,784 or 66%

 

Net Operating Loss.   For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our total net operating loss was $99,812 as compared to a net operating loss of $114,414 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an improvement of $14,602 or 12.76% from the prior period.

 

Other Income (Expense).   For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had interest expense of $0 compared to interest expense of $74,804 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, relating to our outstanding convertible promissory notes. We recorded a gain on embedded derivatives of $40,661 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, with no such activity occurred in the current year. We had $0 in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $102,810 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 which resulted from reversing $102,810 in penalties due to default on a convertible note for the three months ended June 30, 2014

 

Net Loss.   For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our net loss was $99,812 as compared to a net loss of $45,747 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $54,065 or 54.17% from the prior period. The increase in net loss for the current quarter was largely due to the reversed penalties in the 2014 period with no such activity in the 2015 period, and a decrease in revenue.

 

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014

 

Revenues.   We had total revenues of $291,802 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 which were generated from oil and gas sales of $286,702 and well operating revenues of $5,100.   This was a $18,580 or 6% decrease from total revenues of $310,382 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which were generated from oil and gas sales of $305,282 and well operation revenues of $5,100. Barrels of oil per day produced (BOPD) increased to an average of 42.85 BOPD from 19.29 BOPD for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Our administrative revenue is 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. 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 full cost pool was reduced by $84,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $105,297 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

a result in repairs to keep wells in operating condition. We also incurred legal, title, and administrative well expenses of $5,066 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $5,120 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $54 or 1.05% resulting from lower legal costs related to operating the wells.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, our depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expenses decreased by $28,314 or 55%

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 there was $47,232 of recovered bad debt that was previously written off with no such activity in the six months that ended June 30, 2014

 

The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $142,541 or 36% during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the prior period, was largely due to an decrease in officer compensation and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Net Operating Loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, our total net operating loss was $180,654 as compared to a net operating loss of $406,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an improvement of $225,800 or 56% from the prior period.

 

Other Income (Expense). For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had interest income of $4 compared to interest expense of $179,540 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, relating to our outstanding convertible promissory notes. We recorded a gain on embedded derivatives of $126,397 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, with no such activity occurred in the current year.

 

Net Loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, our net loss was $180,650 as compared to a net loss of $459,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an improvement of $278,947 or 61% from the prior period. The decrease in net loss for the current quarter was largely due to decrease in general & admin expense, collection of previously written off receivables, lower depletion expense, and the fully converted notes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we used $168,848 in operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 we had cash provided by investing activities of $400,000 related to the sale of oil properties, no such activity occurred in the current year.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2015.

 

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

11

 

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.

 

Item 5. Prior-Period-Adjustment.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded adjustments to administrative revenue for amounts that should have been recorded in prior reporting periods. The adjustments were identified in connection with our preparation and review of our second quarter financials and form 10-Q. Recording these out-of-period adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2015 had the effect of decreasing administrative revenue income by $41,925. Retained earnings were not affected by the adjustment. The principal components of the adjustments resulted from improperly recognizing revenue for wells owned by the Company instead of offsetting the full cost pool by the total revenue from those wells. As a result of the control deficiency relating to the Company’s accounting for administrative revenue, the Company’s management concluded that, as of August 14, 2015, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for administrative revenue.
