ALPHA ENERGY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

September 30, 2015


NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of September 30, 2015, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.


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.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2014 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.


NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN


The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.


The Company had an accumulated deficit of $53,718, a working capital deficit of $6,420 and has yet to realize revenues from its planned business activities as of September 30, 2015. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK WARRANTS


Through the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued warrants in connection with common stock issued for cash. The following table summarizes all stock warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK


On April 10, 2015, the Company effected a 2:1 forward common stock split. There were 8,357,000 common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the forward split and 16,714,000 immediately after. These financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to present the effects of the split.  


On April 28, 2015, the Company issued 152,428 common shares for the acquisition of an oil and gas lease which was valued at $0.075 per share for a total of $11,432. The acquired lease represented 160 net acres. As a result, the company recorded an unproved property asset of $11,432, and no expense was recorded on the income statement. This transaction was reported as a non-cash item on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

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


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof); finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates; expansion and growth of the Company's business and operations; and other such matters are forward-looking statements.  These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Company.


These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "plans," "may," "will," or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this Filing and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, and its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of operations for its limited history; (ii) the Company's business and growth strategies; and, (iii) the Company's financing plans. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, but are not limited to, the Company's limited operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation, technological change and competition.


Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.


General Business Development


The Company was formed on September 26, 2013 in the State of Colorado.


Business Strategy


The Company was incorporated in September 2013. Our business model is to purchase or trade stock for oil and gas properties to be held as long term assets. Oil and gas commodity pricing has stabilized under the current economic market conditions bringing the U.S. to become the number one producer in the world. The momentum to drill using enhanced drilling technology in previously undeveloped areas assures the continued value of these properties. Our lean operating structure positions us well to compete in this very competitive market. Our strategy is to acquire producing properties that the Company can operate which have proven un-drilled locations available for further development. At this time the Company is reviewing several properties but have no contractual commitments to date.  Our management’s years of experience and knowledge of the oil and gas industry leads us to believe that there are an abundance of good drilling prospects available that have either been overlooked or are not big enough for the larger companies. In the process of identifying these drilling prospects, the Company will utilize the expertise of existing management and employ the highest caliber contract engineering firms available to further evaluate the properties. To qualify for acquisition, the calculated cash flow after taxes and operating expenses, including ten percent (10%) interest per year, will recover the acquisition cost in 22 to 30 months. The cash flow calculation will be based conservatively on $51 per barrel of oil and $2.89 per MCF of gas. In addition, the selection criteria will require the life of current producing wells to be 7 years or longer and the field must have a minimum total life of 15 years.



10






In the first phase we will be concentrating on prospects in eastern Colorado, western Kansas and southern Wyoming. The depth of the wells in the target areas average from 1500 ft. for the Niobrara formation to a total depth of 5800 ft. for the Topeka, Heebner, Lansing-Kansas City, Marmaton, Cherokee, Atoka, Morrow, Mississippian, Spergen, and Osage formations. By concentrating our initial efforts on shallower prospects we minimize drilling and operating costs. As we grow we plan to expand into the Front Range (Northern Front Range Outcrop) and Denver Basin Province (D-J Basin, Wattenberg) of Colorado and into western Kansas (Hugoton Embayment Anadarko Basin – Central Kansas Uplift). The wells in these areas range from 4,000 ft. to 10,000 ft. Such wells are more expensive to drill and operate, but also offer bigger returns. Some of the formations in these areas are the Sussex, Niobrara, Codell, J Sand and the D Sand formations. The Company will develop prospects and will obtain partners to participate in the costs of drilling or acquisitions with the Company serving as the designated Operator.  The Company will also retain a royalty or working interest in the wells drilled or acquired.


Negotiations are in process for acquisition of oil and Gas leases located in Northern  and eastern Colorado basins.   


In the second phase of operations, we will expand into Oklahoma, Texas, and eastern Kansas. We will then place a great deal of emphasis on natural gas production and the transportation of natural gas. We believe natural gas will be the fuel of the future for automobiles, trucks and buses because of the clean-air standards that are proposed and will soon be going into effect, and now is an ideal time to acquire natural gas assets due to the current pricing matrix. The Company also plans on acquiring field transportation and short haul lines as part of our future business plan expansion. Acquiring these types of company lines, specifically in the areas where the company will have production located, will be advantageous due to savings in internal transportation costs, and the profitability margins of operating the lines and marketing natural gas. Managing the transportation system, in conjunction with field operations, will enhance cash flow. After obtaining the transportation lines, we hope to then develop our own end-users for natural gas. This will further enhance the profit margin of the company.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of September 30, 2015, we had $235 in cash, total current assets of $2,985 and total current liabilities of $9,405 creating a working capital deficit of $6,420. Current assets consisted of $235 in cash and $2,750 of prepaid expenses. Current liabilities consisted of $9,130 of accounts payable and $275 of current related party notes payable.


Going Concern


The future of our company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary. See note 2 to the financial statements for additional information.


Results of Operations


We did not generate revenues during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014. Total operating expenses were $1,705 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $6,664 during the same period in 2014. The decrease of $4,959 is the result of fees associated with the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and S-1 filing that incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that did not exist during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Total operating expenses were $12,019 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $26,926 for the same period in 2014. The decrease of $14,907 is the result of incurring increased professional fees associated with the preparation and filing of our form S-1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that did not exist during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


In Financial Reporting release No. 60, "CAUTIONARY ADVICE REGARDING DISCLOSURE ABOUT CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES" ("FRR 60"), the Securities and Exchange Commission suggested that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include: non-cash compensation valuation that affects the total expenses reported in the current period and the valuation of shares and underlying mineral rights acquired with shares. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Company is not exposed to market risk related to interest rates or foreign currencies.


CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of September 30, 2015, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), who concluded, that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2015.


Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act 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 in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
