Item 1. Business.


General

 

On October 13, 2015, the Company changed its domicile from the state of Colorado to the state of Nevada. Unless the context otherwise requires, in this report, the terms “JayHawk” or “Company”, "we", or "our", refers to JayHawk Energy, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, JayHawk Gas Transportation Corporation, a Kansas corporation. JayHawk's office address changed on October 5, 2015 from 611 E. Sherman Ave., Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83814 to 1314 S. Grand Blvd., Suite 2 Box 348, Spokane, WA 99202. The Company's telephone number is (425) 442-0931.  JayHawk reports its operations using a fiscal year ending September 30 and the operations reported on this Form 10-K -A , are presented on a consolidated basis.


The Company files Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, registration statements and other items with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  JayHawk provides access free of charge to all of these SEC filings, as soon as reasonably practicable after filing, on its internet site located at www.jayhawkenergy.com.  In this report on Form 10-K -A , the language “this fiscal year" or "current fiscal year” refers to the 12-month period ending September 30, 2015.


In addition, the public may read and copy any materials JayHawk files with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549.  The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (202) 551-8090.  The SEC maintains an internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements regarding issuers, like JayHawk, that file electronically with the SEC.


Business Development.


JayHawk Energy, Inc. was incorporated in Colorado on April 5, 2004 as Bella Trading Company, Inc.  The Company was originally formed to import and sell jewelry and accessories from Southeast Asia. During the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, the Company decided to change management, enter the oil and gas business, and cease all activity in the retail jewelry industry.  At that time the Company changed its name to JayHawk Energy, Inc. and shifted its focus to the acquisition, development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas, primarily from conventional reservoirs within North America.  During the year ending September 30, 2008, the company acquired its first oil and gas properties. These oil and gas properties included: (1) working interests and operations in 5 producing oil wells, surface equipment and related oil and gas leases in Divide County, North Dakota, and (2) 34 producing coal bed methane gas wells and related leases, surface equipment and a 16-mile gas pipeline and compression station in Bourbon County, Kansas, and (3) additional oil and gas mineral leases covering 11,000 acres in Bourbon and Crawford Counties, Kansas.


On September 1, 2015 the Company disposed of all of its interests, tangible or intangible, in and to the assets held or owned by the Company in the State of North Dakota. The disposition of the Company’s North Dakota assets was completed through an asset assignment to a related party.   


The Company's strategy is to increase shareholder value through strategic acquisition and development of oil and gas properties, primarily in North America., The Company’s oil and gas investments as of September 30, 2015 have been concentrated in coal bed methane gas properties, located in southeast Kansas.



4



As of September 30, 2015, the Company remains an early stage oil and gas exploration company. The Company's immediate business plan is to focus its efforts on identifying oil and gas assets for future acquisition and development.  While the Company continues to control 71 shut-in natural gas wells and approximately 20,000 acres in Southeast Kansas, we are actively focused on shifting to a liquids-rich development focus, primarily in established oil and gas producing regions of North America. The Company's main priority will be given to projects with near term cash flow potential and proven, producing oil and gas reserves. Future acquisition and development activities will be conditioned upon the Company's ability to access sources of sufficient funding.


Oil and Gas Properties.


Please refer to Item 2 of this Form 10-K -A for discussion on the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and reserves.


Employees.


During the year ending September 30, 2015, the Company utilized one individual to manage and operate its business.  Executive functions are carried out by one individual located in Peoria, Arizona.  Administrative functions are performed by a consultant in Spokane, Washington.   Going forward, and for the foreseeable future, the Company plans to outsource its geological, geophysical, drilling and petroleum engineering requirements to independent consultants and contractors.


Competitive Business Conditions.


The Company is an early stage oil and gas exploration company. The Company competes with other companies for financing and for the acquisition of new oil and gas properties. Many of the oil and gas exploration companies with whom the Company competes have greater financial and technical resources than those currently available to the Company. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of oil and gas properties of merit, on exploration of their properties and on development of their properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of oil and gas properties. This competition could result in competitors having properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of its acquired properties.


The Company will also compete with other similarly positioned oil and gas exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in early stage oil and gas exploration companies. The presence of competing oil and gas exploration companies may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to attract investors and raise additional capital in order to fund its exploration programs.  


Patents and Trademarks.


The Company does not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or registered trademarks.


Governmental Regulations.


The Company's oil and gas operations are subject to various federal, state and local governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal, state and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment.   The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are periodically changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of additional compliance with these requirements or their effect on operations.


Item 1A. Risk Factors.


The Company is a Smaller Reporting Company, as defined by 17 C.F.R. § 229.10(f)(1) and is not required to provide the information required by this Item.


Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.


Not Applicable.

Item 2.  Properties.


Kansas - Girard Project. The “Girard Project” is located in Crawford County, southeast Kansas and was acquired by the Company on March 31, 2008. The Company acquired thirty-four (34) natural gas wells and a 16-mile-long gas pipeline in the acquisition of the Girard Project. Seven (7) of the wells were tied into the pipeline at the time of the acquisition. In March of 2008, the Company formed a Kansas corporation called “JayHawk Gas Transportation Corporation”.  JayHawk Gas Transportation Corporation is a wholly owned and controlled subsidiary of the Company and holds and manages the assets associated with the Girard Project.  The Girard Project pipeline is tied into a 2 million cubic foot sales pipeline During July and August of 2008, the Company completed drilling and casing of an additional twenty-one (21) natural gas wells.  In June 2008, the Company acquired additional certain oil, gas and mineral rights to 11,462 leased acres in Bourbon and Crawford counties Kansas from Missouri Gas Partners. As of September 30, 2015, the Company controls seventy-one (71) shut-in natural gas wells and the 16-mile gas pipeline and compression station it acquired in 2008.    Information related to current natural gas production is more fully discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K-A.


North Dakota - Crosby Project (formerly known as “Candak”).  On January 16, 2008, the Company acquired a 65% working interest in five (5) producing oil wells in the Williston Basin of North Dakota. The project was renamed to more properly reflect the pool designation of the properties.  In addition to the five producing wells, the Company acquired certain oil, gas, and mineral rights in a 15,500-acre land position, of which, all undeveloped leases have subsequently lapsed.  


During the year ending September 30, 2010, JayHawk drilled two vertical wells (the “Knudsen” and the “Jenks”) at the Crosby Project. The drilled wells exhibited marginal production potential after various attempts to stimulate flow and were subsequently shut-in.  The Company plugged the Knudsen #1 well and substantially completed all reclamation efforts of the well’s adjacent pits during the first seven months of calendar year 2014. In September of 2015 the Company completed final plugging and abandonment of the Jenks #1 and completed a partial reclamation of the well and site.


On July 8, 2015, the Company executed a Contract Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) with Vast Exploration, LLC (“Vast Exploration”), effective as of January 1, 2015. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, Vast Exploration was appointed as the “operator of record” for all of the Company’s properties and is responsible for the operation of the Company’s oil and gas properties (including handling routine operations, major operations, reporting services and other miscellaneous services). The Operating Agreement requires the Company to pay Vast Exploration a monthly fee for services in the amount of $20,000. The Company remains responsible for all fees, expenses and taxes related to its properties and has agreed to reimburse Vast Exploration for any fees, expenses or taxes advanced on the Company’s behalf. The Company has the right to audit the books, records and invoices maintained by Vast Exploration in its operation of the Company properties. The term of the Operating Agreement is two years from the effective date. The Operating Agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms until the Company or Vast Exploration provide notice of non-renewal. The Operating Agreement includes mutual indemnities and waivers of consequential and punitive damages. The Operating Agreement also includes release and hold harmless provisions for the exclusive benefit of Vast Exploration. Finally, the Operating Agreement consents to and ratifies any operational services Vast Exploration has provided to the Company prior to the date the Operating Agreement was executed.  Vast Exploration billed the Company $160,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015 which was charged to ‘production expense’ and subsequently billed to working interest partners for their pro-rata share of the expense. The foregoing summary of the Operating Agreement’s terms is qualified in its entirety by the fully executed Operating Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.4.


Vast Exploration, LLC is the controlling shareholder of the Company and is an affiliate of Vast Petroleum Corp. – an entity that entered into a joint development agreement for the Company’s oil and gas operations in Kansas in May 2014. Vast Petroleum Corp. was not a party to the Operating Agreement. Scott Mahoney, interim President, CEO, CFO and Chairman of the Board of JayHawk is the individual who possesses voting and dispositive authority on behalf of Vast Exploration, LLC. Acting in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of JayHawk, he recused himself from voting on the approval of the Contract Operating Agreement, which was subsequently approved by the remaining members of the Company’s Board of Directors.


On October 2, 2015 JayHawk entered into an Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance (the “Assignment”) with Vast Holdings, LLC (“Vast Holdings”), with an effective date of September 1, 2015. The Assignment sold and assigned to Vast Holdings, in consideration of ten dollars ($10.00), all of the Company’s right, title, interest and estate, real or personal, movable or immovable, tangible or intangible, in and to the assets held or owned by the Company in the State of North Dakota, including but not limited to: oil, gas and/or mineral leases, fee mineral interests, leasehold estates, mineral interests, royalty interests, overriding royalty interests, reversionary interests, net profits interests, and other similar rights, estates and interests and other agreements, the oil, gas, and other hydrocarbons produced from or attributable to the assets and all units, wells, equipment, contracts, and records. The Assignment did not convey any liabilities related to the assets. Vast Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vast Exploration, LLC (“Vast Exploration”). Vast Exploration is a controlling shareholder of the Company, the contract operator of the Company’s oil and gas properties and an affiliate of Vast Petroleum Corp. – an entity that entered into a joint development agreement for the Company’s oil and gas operations in Kansas in May 2014. Vast Petroleum Corp. was not a party to the Assignment. Scott Mahoney, interim President, CEO, CFO and Chairman of the Board of JayHawk is the individual who possesses voting and dispositive authority on behalf of Vast Holdings, LLC.   Mr. Mahoney, acting in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of the Company, recused himself from voting on the approval of the Assignment. The Assignment was subsequently approved by the remaining members of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The foregoing summary of the Assignment’s terms is qualified in its entirety by the fully executed Assignment attached as Exhibit 10.16.

Disclosure of Reserves.


As of September 30, 2015, the Company has no proved oil reserves in North Dakota.  Effective as of September 1, 2015, the Company conveyed all of its North Dakota oil and gas properties to Vast Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Vast Exploration, LLC, the controlling shareholder of the Company, in lieu of the Company’s North Dakota assets being foreclosure upon by Vast Exploration, LLC. Consequently, there is no disclosure of oil reserves as of September 30, 2015.  


For purposes of this report, the Company presents its proved oil reserves as of September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.   For the North Dakota properties, the independent petroleum engineering firm of Cedar Technical Services (“Cedar”) of Baldwin City, Kansas, prepared the estimates of the Company's proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves as of September 30, 2014.  The independent petroleum engineering firm of McDaniel & Associates Consultants, Ltd. (“McDaniel”) of Calgary, Alberta Canada, prepared the estimates of the Company's proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves as of September 30, 2013.  The future net cash flows (and related present value) attributable to proved and probable reserves were calculated for each well and the properties in total as of these respective dates.  Proved developed reserves are defined as estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which upon analysis of geological and engineering data, appear with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.  Proved undeveloped reserves are those reserves which can be expected to be recovered from new wells with existing equipment and operating methods.


The reserve data set forth in the reports and in this Form 10-K -A represents only estimates, and should not be construed as being exact quantities.  The reserves may or may not be actually recovered, and if recovered, the actual revenues and costs could be more or less than the estimated amounts.  Moreover, estimates of reserves may increase or decrease as a result of future operations.


Cedar’s Report of Third Party for the Evaluation of Oil Reserves attributed to the Company’s interest in the Crosby Project in the State of North Dakota, United States of America and related Consent for Use is filed as an Exhibit with this 10-K -A . McDaniel’s Report of Third Party for the Evaluation of Oil Reserves attributed to the Company’s interests in the Crosby Project in the State of North Dakota, United States of America and related Consent for Use is filed as an Exhibit with this 10-K -A .  The independent expert engineering, geological, and technical advisory background of both Cedar and McDaniel are disclosed in the associated Exhibits to this 10-K -A.


Both Cedar and McDaniel’s used all assumptions, data, methods and procedures they considered necessary and appropriate under the circumstances to prepare their estimates.  The reserves set forth in their reports for the properties are estimated by performance methods or analogy.  In general, reserves attributable to producing wells and reservoirs are estimated by performance methods such as decline curve analysis which utilizes extrapolations of historical production data.  Reserves attributable to non-producing and undeveloped reserves included in the reports are estimated by analogy.  The estimates of the reserves, future production, and income attributable to properties are based on the reserve definitions set out in Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a).  


Both the Cedar and McDaniel’s reports summarize conclusions made by them with respect to the reserve estimates.  To estimate economically recoverable crude oil, many factors and assumptions were considered, including the use of reservoir parameters derived from geological, geophysical and engineering data which cannot be measured directly, economic criteria based on current costs and SEC pricing requirements, and forecasts of future production rates.  Under applicable SEC regulations, proved reserves must be demonstrated to be economically producible based on the existing economic conditions including the prices and costs at which economic production from a reservoir is determined as of the effective date of the report.  With respect to the property interests the Company owns, production and well tests from examines wells, normal direct costs of operating the wells or leases, other costs such as transportation and processing fees, production taxes, recompletion and development costs and product prices are based on SEC regulations, geological maps, well logs, core analyses, and pressure measurements.


Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil that cannot be measured in an exact manner.  There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating crude oil reserves and their estimated values, including many factors beyond the Company’s control.  The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geologic interpretation and judgment.  As a result, estimates of different engineers, including those used by the Company, may vary.  In addition, estimates of reserves are subject to revision based upon actual production, result of future developments and exploration activities, prevailing crude oil prices, operating costs and other factors.  The revisions may be material.  Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of crude oil that are ultimately recovered and are highly dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions upon which they are based.  The Company’s estimate net proved reserves, included in the Company’s SEC filings, have not been filed with or included in reports to any other federal agency.  Reserve estimates, like all estimates, are subject to numerous uncertainties and may be inaccurate.  There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil or natural gas reserves and cash flows to be derived therefrom, including many factors beyond the Company's control. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth herein represent estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability of oil and natural gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary from actual results. All such estimates are to some degree speculative, and classifications of reserves are only attempts to define the degree of



7



speculation involved. For those reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues expected therefrom prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. Actual production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to the Company's reserves will vary from estimates thereof and such variations could be material.


Estimates of proved or unproved reserves that may be developed and produced in the future are often based upon volumetric calculations and upon analogy to similar types of reserves rather than actual production history. Estimates based on these methods are generally less reliable than those based on actual production history. Subsequent evaluation of the same reserves based upon production history and production practices will result in variations in the estimated reserves and such variations could be material.


Federal and state regulations governing protection of the environment may prevent the Company from recovering the estimated reserves disclosed in this section.  See Item 1, and the subsection entitled “Governmental Regulations” above.


A summary of the Company’s net proved oil reserves for the North Dakota properties for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are presented below:

The Company has no reserve estimates for synthetic oil, synthetic gas or sales of other non-renewable natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil and gas.  


The Company’s Kansas properties have not been evaluated and no independent estimates of proved reserves have been made with regard to the Kansas properties. Consequently, management has determined the Company’s producing natural gas properties in Kansas should be classified as unproven for purposes of financial statement disclosure.  Additional information about the Company’s proved oil reserves are presented under Note 21 - Supplemental Oil and Gas Information in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.  


Controls over Reserve Estimates.


Compliance as it relates to reporting the Company’s reserves was formerly the responsibility of Lindsay Gorrill, former Chairman of the Board of Directors, who had over 20 years’ experience in resource-based companies.  Current Company Chairman Scott Mahoney will be responsible for the Company’s reserves at such time the Company possesses reportable reserves.


With respect to the Company’s properties, the control over reserve estimates included retaining Cedar and McDaniel as our independent and geological engineering firms for the periods indicated in their respective reports.  Jayhawk provided both Cedar and McDaniel with information about its oil properties, including production profiles, prices and costs, and both Cedar and McDaniel reviewed the estimates of the reserves attributable to oil properties.  Both Cedar and McDaniel are independent expert engineering, geological, technical and advisory company providing services to the oil and gas industry.  


All of the information on the North Dakota oil reserves for the years ended September 30, 2013 in this Form 10-K-A is derived from McDaniel’s report.  All of the information on the North Dakota oil reserves for the year ended September 30, 2014 in this Form 10-K-A is derived from the Cedar.  The Company holds no reserves as of September 30, 2015.  


Proved Undeveloped Reserves.  


As of September 30, 2015, management estimated the Company had proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) of Nil Bbls in North Dakota. The Company divested of its oil wells effective September 1, 2015, therefore the Company’s PUD’s and data are through September 1, 2015.

Present Activities.


During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized responsibility for up to 71 non-producing well bores in Crawford and Bourbon County, Kansas.  Previously, the Company had recognized 25 non-producing well bores.  The Company in cooperation with the Kansas Corporate Commission entered into a Consent Agreement whereby the Company declared the wellbores temporarily abandoned and may reapply for additional temporary abandonment status at the close of calendar year 2015.  The foregoing summary of the Consent Agreement’s terms is qualified in its entirety by the fully executed Consent Agreement attached as Exhibit10.5.


The Company did not experience any dry holes in fiscal years ending September 30, 2015, 2014 or 2013.  


Delivery Commitments.


As of September 30, 2015, the Company does not have any delivery commitments for product obtained from its wells.


Oil and Gas Properties, Wells, Operations, and Acreage.


Management believes the Company has satisfactory title to all of its properties in accordance with standards generally accepted in the oil and gas industry.  The properties are subject to customary royalty interests, liens for current taxes and other burdens, which management believes does not materially interfere with the use of or affect the value of such properties.  Prior to acquiring undeveloped properties, the Company performs a title investigation that is thorough but less vigorous than that conducted prior to drilling, which is consistent with standard practice in the oil and gas industry.  Before the Company commences drilling operations, it conducts a thorough title examination and performs curative work with respect to significant defects before proceeding with operations.  The Company has performed a thorough title examination with respect to substantially all of its active properties.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.


On August 1, 2013, the North Dakota Industrial Commission (“NDIC”) submitted an administrative complaint to the State of North Dakota related to plugging and remediation of the Company’s Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 wells in Crosby, North Dakota. The administrative complaint alleged the Company violated certain portions of the North Dakota Century Code and requested administrative relief against the Company for violation of sections of the North Dakota Administrative Code governing the oil and gas industry.


On or about August 12, 2013, the Company responded to the administrative complaint and subsequently entered into settlement negotiations with the NDIC. In a good faith effort to comply with the NDIC’s requests, the Company began plugging the Knudsen #1 well on or about December 20, 2013.  The Knudsen #1 well plugging and related remediation work was completed on or about January 1, 2014.  The range of associated penalties as proposed by the NDIC was $100,000 to $525,000 for failure to comply.


On February 18, 2014, the Company entered into a Consent Agreement with the State of North Dakota whereby the Company was required to finish reclamation work, by June 30, 2014, on the two waste water storage pits adjacent to the Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 wells respectively.  The Consent Agreement required the Company to plug the “production zone” of the Jenks #1 well. Once plugging was completed, the Company could then apply for a permit to convert the Jenks #1 well into a salt water disposal well.  As a part of the Consent Agreement the Company agreed to pay a civil penalty of no less than $105,000, consisting of $25,000 due and payable upon execution of the Consent Agreement and a $16,000 installment payment per month for five successive months thereafter.  If the Company failed to comply with the terms of the Consent Agreement, the Company would be subject to penalties of up to an additional $420,000 (over and above the $105,000 penalty agreed to in the Consent Agreement). The Company made the initial $25,000 payment and subsequently made each monthly payment with the final installment of $16,000 paid to the State of North Dakota on June 26, 2014.

Although reclamation work was to have been completed by June 30, 2014, unseasonably heavy rains which saturated the soil and limited safe access to the site by heavy equipment delayed scheduled reclamation until such time as ground conditions improved. On July 10, 2014, the Company completed reclamation work on both the Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 waste water storage pits.  The Company also completed plugging of the ‘production zone’ on the Jenks #1 well and set a balance plug on the Knudsen #1 well bore.  The Company submitted an application for conversion of the Jenks #1 well to a saltwater disposal well and began performing additional engineering surveys and cost estimates related to construction of the salt water disposal well to address considerations requested by the NDIC.  The Company’s saltwater disposal well application was subsequently denied by the NDIC on January 28, 2015 due to environmental concerns.


Due to JayHawk’s failure to timely submit a cost estimate for the final plugging, abandonment and reclamation of the Jenks #1 well and site, the NDIC, on January 28, 2015, pursuant to Commission Order No. 25588 ordered JayHawk to file a $120,000 bond covering the Jenks #1. The bond was a plugging and reclamation bond.


On May 9, 2015, the Company received a copy of a Summons and Complaint filed by the State of North Dakota and the NDIC in the Northwest Judicial District Court of North Dakota alleging JayHawk had violated N.D.C.C. Chapter 38-08 by failing to post the $120,000 plugging and reclamation bond pursuant to Commission Order No. 25588. N.D.C.C. § 38-08-16 provides that anyone who violates a provision of N.D.C.C. Chapter 38-08, or any rule or regulation of the Commission is subject to a penalty of up to $12,500 for each offense, and each day’s violation is a separate offense. The Complaint’s prayer for relief requested that JayHawk be ordered to deposit $120,000 with the Bank of North Dakota to satisfy the Commission’s requirement for the plugging and reclamation bond on the Jenks #1 well. The NDIC also requested that JayHawk pay a fine of $12,500 per day beginning February 4, 2015, for failure to provide a plugging and reclamation bond on the Jenks #1. The Company subsequently met with the NDIC, which resulted in the NDIC staying the litigation subject to JayHawk’s immediate plugging, abandonment and reclamation of the Jenks #1. In September of 2015 the Company completed final plugging and abandonment of the Jenks #1 and completed a partial reclamation of the well and site.


On February 12, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Staff of the Corporation Commission of the State of Kansas with respect to a Penalty Order served by the Company for failure to comply with certain portions of the Kansas Administrative Regulations.  The Company was found in violation of failure to plug, return to service or temporarily abandon 71 wells and assessed a $7,100 penalty, of which $3,100 was payable immediately, a $2,000 payment due by April 1, 2015 and the final $2,000 payment by May 1, 2015.  The Company has subsequently submitted 71 temporary abandonment applications, of which 71 applications were approved.  The Company has up to one year to plug the wells, return them to service or file additional temporary abandonment applications.  


No director, officer or affiliate of the Company and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five (5%) of the Company’s securities or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in reference to pending litigation.

Holders.


As of September 30, 2015, there were 98 stockholders of record who owned 199,875,629 shares of common stock.  The number of record holders was determined from the records of the Company's transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. The transfer agent of the Company's common stock is Corporate Stock Transfer Company at 3200 Cherry Creek Drive South, Suite #340, Denver, Colorado, 80209.


On October 27, 2015, the Company obtained the written consent of the stockholders holding 118,749,788 shares of issued and outstanding common stock, which is equal to approximately 59.41% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, to effect a 1:100 reverse split of the capital stock of the Company. As of the filing date of this Form 10-K -A the reverse split has not occurred and therefore any reference to the Company’s outstanding shares is based upon the pre-reverse split figure. However, Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 4.C requires the retrospective presentation of the reverse split in the Company’s financial statements and therefore the presentation of Item 8 is in accordance with the requirements of SAB Topic 4.C.  


Dividends.


Holders of common and preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is not restricted from paying any dividends, but is also not obligated to declare a dividend. No dividends have ever been declared and it is not anticipated that dividends will ever be paid. The Board of Director’s discretion as to the payment of a dividend will be dependent upon the Company's financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as the Board of Directors deem relevant.

Overview.


JayHawk Energy, Inc. was incorporated in Colorado on April 5, 2004 as Bella Trading Company, Inc.  The Company was originally formed to import and sell jewelry and accessories from Southeast Asia. During the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, the Company decided to change management, enter the oil and gas business, and cease all activity in the retail jewelry industry.  At that time the Company changed its name to JayHawk Energy, Inc. and shifted its focus to the acquisition, development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas, primarily from conventional reservoirs within North America.  During the year ending September 30, 2008, the company acquired its first oil and gas properties. These oil and gas properties included: (a) working interests and operations in



12



five (5) producing oil wells, surface equipment and related oil and gas leases in Divide County, North Dakota, and (b) thirty-four (34) producing coal bed methane gas wells and related leases, surface equipment and a 16-mile gas pipeline and compression station in Bourbon County, Kansas, and (c) additional oil and gas mineral leases covering 11,000 acres in Bourbon and Crawford Counties, Kansas.


On September 1, 2015 the Company disposed of all of its interests, tangible or intangible, in and to the assets held or owned by the Company in the State of North Dakota. The disposition of the Company’s North Dakota assets was completed through an asset assignment to a related party.   


As of September 30, 2015, the Company continues to control seventy-one (71) shut-in natural gas wells in Southeast Kansas, the Company is actively focused on shifting to a liquids-rich development focus, primarily in established oil and gas producing regions of North America. The Company's main priority will be given to projects with near term cash flow potential and proven, producing oil and gas reserves.


Commodity Prices.


Our results of operations are heavily influenced by commodity prices. Factors that may impact future commodity prices, including the price of oil and natural gas, include: (1) weather conditions in the United States and where the Company's property interests are located; (2) economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products, in the United States and the rest of the world; (3) actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries; (4) political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and natural gas producing regions; (5) governmental regulations; (6) domestic tax policy; (7) the price of foreign imports of oil and natural gas; (8) the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and natural gas; (9)  the discovery rate of new oil and natural gas reserves; (9) the rate of decline of existing and new oil and natural gas reserves; (10) available pipeline and other oil and natural gas transportation capacity; (11) the ability of oil and natural gas companies to raise capital; (12) the overall supply and demand for oil and natural gas; and (13) the availability of alternate fuel sources.


The Company cannot predict the occurrence of events that may affect future commodity prices or the degree to which these prices will be affected, the prices for any commodity that we produce will generally approximate current market prices in the geographic region of the production. Furthermore, the Company has not entered into any derivative contracts, including swap agreements for oil and gas.

Subsequent Events.


Resignation of Officers and Directors.


On October 1, 2015, Kelly Stopher tendered his resignation as interim President, CEO and CFO of the Company. On October 1, 2015, Matthew Wayrynen and Lindsay E. Gorrill tendered their resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company.


Appointment of Officer and Director.


On October 1, 2015, Kelly Stopher was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. On October 1, 2015, Scott Mahoney was appointed as interim President, CEO and CFO of the Company.


Liquidity and Capital Resources.


At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company's cash balances were $Nil and $177,260, respectively.  The Company's accounts receivable totaled $Nil and $55,528, respectively.  


The Company's working capital deficit (current liabilities less current assets) was $2,510,515 at September 30, 2015 of which $470,439 is in the form of convertible debentures which are currently due.  At September 30, 2014, the Company's working capital deficit was $2,635,213, of which $1,038,687 of convertible debentures were due in the current year and in default.  


To fully carry out the Company's business plans the Company needs to raise a substantial amount of additional capital, or obtain industry joint venture financing. The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to raise such capital or enter into any other beneficial business arrangements. The Company has limited financial resources until such time that it is able to generate such additional financing or cash flow from operations. The Company's ability to establish profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon its ability to exploit its mineral holdings, generate revenue from its planned business operations and control exploration cost.  Should the Company be unable to raise adequate capital or to meet the other above objectives, it is likely that the Company would have to substantially curtail its business activity, and that the Company's investors would incur substantial losses of their investment.


The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements the Company is an independent oil and gas company with a limited operating history and losses since inception. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for reasonable period of time.


The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, and ultimately, to attain profitability. The Company intends to acquire additional operating capital through debt or equity offerings, or through joint ventures or other business arrangements, to fund its business plan.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds.


Cash Flows:  Net cash provided by operations decreased primarily due to less cash being received for the Company’s crude oil sales associated with improved ability to deliver oil to market.   Decline in oil prices adversely affected revenues and costs of workovers on the North Dakota – Crosby Project hampered gross margin.   For the year ending at September 30, 2015, cash used by operating activities exceeded cash provided by operating activities by $317,836.  For the year ending at September 30, 2014, cash used by operating activities exceeded cash provided by operating activities by $507,935.


There were no cash flows from investing activities for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.


The Cash flows provided from financing activities were $140,576 and $600,000 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   The Company entered into a Line of Credit agreement with related party Vast Exploration, LLC as a means to provide cash flow for ongoing capital needs of the Company.  


Commitments: As noted in Item 3 of this report, on or about August 1, 2013, the North Dakota Industrial Commission (“NDIC”) submitted an administrative complaint to the State of North Dakota related to plugging and remediation of the Company’s Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 wells in Crosby, ND.  The administrative complaint alleges the Company violated certain portions of the North Dakota Century Code and request administrative relief against the Company for violation of sections of the North Dakota Administrative Code governing the oil and gas industry.

On February 18, 2014, the Company entered into a Consent Agreement with the State of North Dakota whereby the Company was required to finish reclamation work, by June 30, 2014, on the two waste water storage pits adjacent to the Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 wells respectively.  The Consent Agreement required the Company to plug the “production zone” of the Jenks #1 well. Once plugging was completed, the Company could then apply for a permit to convert the Jenks #1 well into a salt water disposal well.  As a part of the Consent Agreement the Company agreed to pay a civil penalty of no less than $105,000, consisting of $25,000 due and payable upon execution of the Consent Agreement and a $16,000 installment payment per month for five successive months thereafter.  If the Company failed to comply with the terms of the Consent Agreement, the Company would be subject to penalties of up to an additional $420,000 (over and above the $105,000 penalty agreed to in the Consent Agreement). The Company made the initial $25,000 payment and subsequently made each monthly payment with the final installment of $16,000 paid to the State of North Dakota on June 26, 2014.  


The Company made the final installment payment of $16,000 to the State of North Dakota on June 26, 2014.  As of September 30, 2014 the Company has completed substantially all reclamation work and has paid all fines assessed.


On July 10, 2014, the Company completed reclamation work on both the Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 waste water storage pits.  Although reclamation work was to have been completed by June 30, 2014, unseasonably heavy rains saturated the soil and limited safe access to the site by heavy equipment delayed scheduled reclamation until such time as ground conditions improved. The Company also completed plugging of the ‘production zone’ on the Jenks #1 well and set a balance plug on the Knudsen #1 well bore.  


Due to the Company’s failure to timely submit a cost estimate for the final plugging, abandonment and reclamation of the Jenks #1 well and site, the NDIC, on January 28, 2015, pursuant to Commission Order No. 25588 ordered JayHawk to file a $120,000 bond covering the Jenks #1. The bond was a plugging and reclamation bond.


On May 9, 2015, the Company received a copy of a Summons and Complaint filed by the State of North Dakota and the NDIC in the Northwest Judicial District Court of North Dakota alleging JayHawk had violated N.D.C.C. Chapter 38-08 by failing to post the $120,000 plugging and reclamation bond pursuant to Commission Order No. 25588. N.D.C.C. § 38-08-16 provides that anyone who violates a provision of N.D.C.C. Chapter 38-08, or any rule or regulation of the Commission is subject to a penalty of up to $12,500 for each offense, and each day’s violation is a separate offense. The Complaint’s prayer for relief requested that JayHawk be ordered to deposit $120,000 with the Bank of North Dakota to satisfy the Commission’s requirement for the plugging and reclamation bond on the Jenks #1 well. The NDIC also requested that JayHawk pay a fine of $12,500 per day beginning February 4, 2015, for failure to provide a plugging and reclamation bond on the Jenks #1. Company management subsequently met with the NDIC, which resulted in the NDIC staying the litigation subject to JayHawk’s immediate plugging, abandonment and reclamation of the Jenks #1. In September of 2015 the Company completed final plugging and abandonment of the Jenks #1 and completed a partial reclamation of the well and site.


On February 12, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Staff of the Corporation Commission of the State of Kansas with respect to a Penalty Order served by the Company for failure to comply with certain portions of the Kansas Administrative Regulations.  The Company was found in violation of failure to plug, return to service or temporarily abandon 71 wells and assessed a $7,100 penalty, of which $3,100 was payable immediately, a $2,000 payment due by April 1, 2015 and the final $2,000 payment by May 1, 2015.  The Company has subsequently submitted seventy-one (71) temporary abandonment applications, of which seventy-one (71 applications were approved.  The Company has up to one year to plug the wells, return them to service or file additional temporary abandonment applications.  


At September 30, 2015 the Company has no commitments to make any capital expenditures.  Any potential future capital expenditures will be dependent on concluding adequate and successful financing arrangements.


Results of Operations


For the years ending September 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company reports net revenues of $244,283 and $394,925, respectively, from the sales of oil and natural gas.  Details of these two revenue components follow:    


Oil Revenues:  As discussed in Note 2 in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for the period ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognizes revenues only to the extent of its net working interest, which is the remainder after deduction of the outside working and royalty interests and the deduction of severance and production taxes.

For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company sold a gross 11,681 Bbls and 10,066 Bbls respectively.  The Company’s Gross working interest in the revenues generated from the five North Dakota oil wells were $244,283 and $394,925 respectively.  Gross receipts reconciled to the Company’s net working interest, or revenue recognized is reflected in the following table:

The decrease in gross revenues is attributable to the Company's ongoing constraints of working capital and plummeting oil prices during the fiscal year.  Regular and necessary maintenance was often delayed due to lack of sufficient cash resources.  For the year ending September 30, 2015 the average price net of taxes and transportation costs the Company received for a barrel of oil was $40.58.  During the comparable period ending September 30, 2014 the average price received per barrel was $75.24. The Company divested of its oil wells on September 1, 2015.  


Gas Revenues:  Revenues derived from gas sales for the years ending September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $Nil and $Nil, respectively. The Company suspended production in 2013 with the intent of re-starting operations in Kansas in anticipation of increased natural gas prices at some point in the future. The Company did not produce natural gas during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, due to low natural gas prices and significant costs associated with upgrading the meters at its Bourbon County tap head.  The average price received for the 12- month period ending September 31, 2015 was $0.00 per mcf.  The average price received for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2014 was $0.00 per mcf.   Subsequent to the fiscal year end at September 30, 2015, the Company filed permits for Temporary Abandonment on up to 71 well bores in Kansas.  The Company will determine in fiscal year end September 30, 2016 whether it’s Kansas - Girard Project remains economically viable under current market conditions.


Exploration Expenses:  There were no exploration expenses incurred during the years ending September 30, 2015 or 2014.


Production Expenses:  Production expenses are comprised of field labor, maintenance, chemicals, fuel, and salt water disposal, less amounts charged other working interests in the particular wells.  These expenses associated with the Company’s North Dakota oil operations changed from $230,238 for the year ending September 30, 2014 to $383,808 for the year ending September 30, 2015, an increase of $153,750.  Prior to the conveyance of the North Dakota – Crosby Project to Vast Exploration, LLC, the Company incurred $160,000 in contract operating expense during the year ended September 30, 2015, an expense not incurred during the prior year comparable period.  As well, the Company incurred workover and maintenance expense of $146,868 for the year ended September 30, 2015 which was $44,360 more than during the year ended September 30, 2014.


Total operating expenses for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1,186,837 and $1,215,195, respectively.  The expenses are segregated as follows:

As discussed in Note 4 of "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements," management made a review of its Kansas - Girard Project.  Management's outlook for the U.S. natural gas prices indicated it is unlikely that sufficient U.S. demand for natural gas would materialize in the foreseeable future.  Using a historical income approach based upon internal estimates of natural gas prices and future deliveries, management determined that the unproved and developed properties in Girard, Kansas should be impaired to the extent of the salvage value of field equipment and pipeline.  


General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses increased 22.2% or $94,179 to $518,931 for the year ending September 30, 2015 from $424,752 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2014.

Interest expense increased $70,604 during the year ended September 30, 2015 compared to the year ended September 30, 2014.  The increase was a result of additional default interest provisions recognized on certain debentures held by a related party resulting from a notice of default.  Additionally, interest expense is reported net of interest income, of which there was a minimal amount reported in the current year as a result of limited excess cash availability for investment.   Cost of financing increased $730,815 during the current fiscal year, directly related to modification of debenture provisions and notification of debentures held in default.


As the modification of terms related to certain debentures resulted in extinguishment of debt under ASC 470-50-40-2, the Company charged $957,528 to operations.

JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015








NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


JayHawk Energy, Inc. (the Company or JayHawk) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Jayhawk Gas Transportation Company, are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, production and sale of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids primarily from conventional reservoirs within North America.  The Company incorporated in Colorado on April 5, 2004 as Bella Trading Company, Inc.  During the third quarter ending June 30, 2007, the Company changed management and entered the oil and gas business, and ceased all activity in retail jewelry.  On June 21, 2007, the Company changed its name to JayHawk Energy, Inc.  Since then, the Company has devoted its efforts principally to the raising of capital, organizational infrastructure development, the acquisition of oil and gas properties and exploration activities in Kansas and North Dakota.  The Company also formed a wholly owned subsidiary to transport natural gas in Kansas called JayHawk Gas Transportation Corporation.


On September 1, 2015 the Company disposed of all of its interests, tangible or intangible, in and to the assets held or owned by the Company in the State of North Dakota. The disposition of the Company’s North Dakota assets was completed through an asset assignment to a related party.   


The Company's strategy is to increase shareholder value through strategic acquisition and development of oil and gas properties, primarily in North America.


As of September 30, 2015, JayHawk Energy remains an early stage oil and gas exploration company. The Company's immediate business plan is to focus its efforts on identifying oil and gas assets for future acquisition and development.  The Company is actively focused on shifting to a liquids-rich development focus, primarily in established oil and gas producing regions of North America. The Company's main priority will be given to projects with near term cash flow potential and proven, producing oil and gas reserves. Future acquisition and development activities will be determined by the Company's ability to access sources of sufficient funding.


On October 13, 2015, the Company changed its domicile from the state of Colorado to the state of Nevada. (Note 20).


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation


This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements.  These consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.  


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary JayHawk Gas Transportation Company after elimination of the intercompany accounts and transactions.


Going Concern


As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception.  As of September 30, 2015, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows.  As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of   $27,739,165 and a net loss of $2,232,276 for the year ended September 30, 2015, and as of that date the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,510,515.  Achievement of the Company's objectives will be dependent upon the ability to obtain additional financing, to locate profitable energy properties and generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and control costs.  The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and/or lenders, and attaining additional commercial production.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists.  The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets nor the implications of associated bankruptcy costs should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.



28



JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015




Reverse Stock Split


Subsequent to September 30, 2015, pursuant to a majority shareholder consent, a majority of the shareholders of the Company approved a one-for-one hundred reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.  After the reverse stock split, each holder of record will hold one share of common stock for every 100 shares held immediately prior to the effective date.  As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares underlying outstanding stock options and warrants and the related exercise prices will be adjusted to reflect the change in the share price and outstanding shares on the date of the reverse stock split.  The effect of fractional shares is not material.


Following the effective date of the reverse stock split, the par value of the common stock will remain at $0.001.  As a result, the Company has reduced the common stock in the consolidated balance sheets and statement of changes in stockholders’ equity included herein on a retrospective basis for all periods presented, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.  All share and per-share amounts and related disclosures have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods to reflect the one-for-one hundred reverse stock split


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods.  Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions and estimates relate to asset impairments, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation, income taxes and derivatives.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material effect on the Company's reported financial position and results of operations.

 

Income or Loss Per Common Share


Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities.


The dilutive effect of convertible and outstanding securities as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 would be as follows:


 

September 30, 2015

 

September 30, 2014

Stock options

 

 34,000

 

 

 40,000

Convertible debt

 

 1,573,597

 

 

 1,100,287

Convertible line of credit

 

476,665

 

 

 

Warrants

 

 160,000

 

 

 37,778

TOTAL POSSIBLE DILUTION

 

 2,244,262

 

 

 1,178,065


At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.  Stock option, convertible debt and warrant amounts for all periods presented within this report for common stock and additional paid-in capital have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (Note 20).


Revenue and Cost Recognition


The Company uses the sales method of accounting for oil and gas revenues. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on the actual volumes of gas and oil sold to purchasers. The volume sold may differ from the volumes the Company may be entitled to, based on the Company's individual interest in the property.  Periodically, imbalances between production and nomination volumes can occur for various reasons.  In cases where imbalances have occurred, a production imbalance receivable or liability will be recorded when determined.  Costs associated with production are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.


Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.



29



JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015




Trade Accounts Receivable


Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate for doubtful accounts. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2015 and 2014. Management determines the allowance by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.  Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as income when received.


Concentrations


All of the Company’s direct operating revenues originated from oil production from its property in Crosby, North Dakota.  Each revenue stream is sold to a single customer through month to month contracts.  While this creates a customer concentration, there are alternate buyers of the production in the event the sole customer is unable or unwilling to purchase.


Property, Plant and Equipment


Acquisition costs associated with the acquisition of leases are capitalized when incurred.  These consist of costs incurred in obtaining a mineral interest or right in the property, such as a lease, concession, license, production sharing agreement, or other type of agreement granting such rights.  In addition, options to lease, brokers' fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other similar costs related to activities in acquiring property interests are capitalized.  


The Company follows the successful effort method of accounting for oil and gas property as promulgated in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 932, "Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas".  Under this method of accounting, acquisition costs for proved and unproved properties are capitalized when incurred.  Exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, the costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties and exploratory dry hole drilling costs, are expensed.  Development costs, including the costs to drill and equip development wells, and successful exploratory drilling costs to locate proved reserves are capitalized.  Exploratory drilling costs are capitalized when incurred pending the determination of whether a well has found proved reserves.  A determination of whether a well has found proved reserves is made shortly after drilling is completed.  The determination is based on a process that relies on interpretations of available geologic, geophysics and engineering data.  If a well is determined to be successful, the capitalized drilling costs will be reclassified as part of the cost of the well.  If a well is determined to be unsuccessful, the capitalized drilling costs will be charged to expense in the period the determination is made.  If an exploratory well requires a  major capital expenditure before production can begin, the cost of drilling the exploratory well will continue to be carried as an asset pending determination of whether proved reserves have been found only as long as: i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well if the required capital expenditure is made and ii) drilling of the additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned for the near future.  If drilling in the area is not under way or firmly planned, or if the well has not found a commercially producible quantity of reserves, the exploratory well is assumed to be impaired and its costs are charged to expense.  


In the absence of a determination as to whether the reserves that have been found can be classified as proved, the costs of drilling such an exploratory well is not carried as an asset for more than one year following completion of drilling.  If, after that year has passed, a determination that proved reserves exist cannot be made, the well is assumed to be impaired, and its capitalized costs, net of salvage value are charged to expense.  Its costs can, however, continue to be capitalized if sufficient quantities of reserves are discovered in the well to justify its completion as a producing well and sufficient progress is made in assessing the reserves and the well's economic and operating feasibility.  


The Company calculates depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) of capitalized cost of proved oil properties on a field-by-field basis using the units-of-production method based upon proved reserves. In computing DD&A, the Company will take into consideration restoration, dismantlement and abandonment cost and the anticipated proceeds from equipment salvage.  When applicable, the Company will apply the provisions of ASC Topic 410, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", ("ASC 410") which provides guidance on accounting for dismantlement and abandonment cost (see Note 11).


Support equipment and other property, plant and equipment related to oil and gas production are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from 5 to 35 years.  Property, plant and equipment unrelated to oil and gas producing activities is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 25 years.

JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015




The Company recognizes a gain or loss on sales or retirement of property, plant and equipment and includes the gain or loss in the results of operations in the period the sale or retirement occurs.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company performs separate impairment tests for proved and unproved properties.


Proved properties - The Company evaluates its proved properties for impairment when circumstances or events occur that may impact the fair value of the assets.  The fair value of property is primarily evaluated based upon the present value of expected revenues directly associated with those assets.  An impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying amount of a capitalized asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. 


Unproved properties - Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether they have been impaired.  An undeveloped property may be considered impaired as the expiration of a lease term approaches and the Company has not begun drilling on the property or nearby properties and the possibility of partial or total impairment of the property increases.   If the property is found to be impaired, an impairment allowance is provided and a loss is charged to operations.  However, if the property is surrendered or the lease expires without identifying proved reserves, the cost of the property is charged against the impairment allowance already to the extent impairment has been recognized.  Any remaining cost is charged to operations.


In the case of unproved developed properties, the fair value of property is primarily evaluated based upon the present value of expected revenues directly associated with those assets.  An impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying amount of a capitalized asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. 


Fair Value Measures


ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820") requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value.  Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1:  Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2:  Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quote prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.


Level 3:  Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


Derivative Instruments


The Company has financing arrangements that contain freestanding derivative instruments or hybrid instruments that contained embedded derivative features.  In accordance with U.S. GAAP, derivative instruments and hybrid instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet and are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in earnings depending on the nature of the derivative or hybrid instruments. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings if they can be reliably measured. When the fair value of embedded derivative features cannot be reliably measured, the Company measures and reports the entire hybrid instrument at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using a Black Scholes model, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument and precluding the use of “blockage” discounts or premiums in determining the fair value of a large block of financial instruments. Fair value under these conditions does not necessarily represent fair value determined using valuation standards that give consideration to blockage discounts and other factors that may be considered by market participants in establishing fair value.

JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015




Income Tax and Accounting for Uncertainty


Income taxes are determined using the liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740").  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.


ASC 740 recognizes that the ultimate deductibility of positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns is often uncertain.  It provides guidance on when tax positions claimed by an entity can be recognized and guidance on the dollar amount at which those positions are recorded.  In order to recognize the benefits associated with a tax position taken the entity must conclude that the ultimate allowability of the deduction is more likely than not.  If the ultimate allowability of the tax position exceeds 50% (more likely than not), the benefit associated with the position is recognized at the largest dollar amount that has more than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and recognized in accordance with the guidance will generally result in (1) an increase in income taxes currently payable or a reduction in an income tax refund receivable or (2) an increase in a deferred tax liability or a decrease in a deferred tax asset, or both (1) and (2).


Stock Options Granted to Employees and Non-Employees


The Company follows financial accounting standards that require the measurement of the value of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  Non-employee stock-based compensation is granted at the Board of Director’s discretion to award select consultants for exceptional performance.  Prior to issuance of the awards, the Company is not under any obligation to issue the stock options.  The award vests over a specified period determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  The measurement date of the grant is also the date of the award.  The fair value of options is expensed ratably during the specified vesting period.


The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock option awards on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding: (i) the expected volatility in the market price of the Company's common stock; (ii) dividend yield; (iii) risk-free interest rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercised (referred to as the expected holding period).  The expected volatility under this valuation model is based on the current and historical implied volatilities of the Company's common stock.  The dividend yield is based on the approved annual dividend rate in effect and current market price of the underlying common stock at the time of grant.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturities ranging from one month to five years.  The expected holding period of the awards granted is estimated using the historical exercise behavior of employees.  In addition, the Company estimates the expected impact of forfeited awards and recognize stock-based compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest.  The Company utilizes historical experience to estimate projected forfeitures.  If actual forfeitures are materially different from estimates, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.  The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated forfeiture rate is recognized as compensation cost in the period of the revision.


Stock Granted to Employees and Non-Employees in Lieu of Cash Payments


The Company periodically issues shares of its common stock in lieu of cash payments to certain consultants, vendors and employees.  The Company follows financial accounting standards that require the measurement of the value of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements in order to conform to the 2015 presentation.  These reclassifications have no effect on net loss, total assets or accumulated deficit as previously reported.

New Accounting Pronouncements


From time to time, new accounting guidance is issued by the FASB that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date.  If not discussed, management believe that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.


NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS   

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, reclamation bonds, convertible line of credit and promissory note payable approximate fair value due to their limited time to maturity or ability to immediately convert them to cash in the normal course. The carrying values of convertible debentures is net of a discount and does not reflect fair value of similar instruments.   The approximate fair value of the convertible debentures and convertible line of credit based upon the number of shares into which the debentures are convertible is $1,558,198 using the current market price per share of stock at September 30, 2015.


The table below sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and the fair value calculation input hierarchy that the Company has determined has applied to each asset and liability category.

NOTE 5 – PROVED PROPERTIES AND IMPAIRMENT  


During the year ended September 30, 2015, management scrapped certain capitalized drilling costs and equipment associated with the Jenks and Knudsen wells in Crosby, North Dakota.  The Company determined the costs associated with completing the necessary engineering, road improvements and purchase of additional equipment to construct a disposal well exceeded the future benefits of said well.  The Company has plugged both the Jenks and Knudsen well bores. The loss on write-off of $11,527 was charged to operations as “Loss on leases and equipment”.


Effective September 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance (the “Assignment”) with Vast Holdings, LLC (“Vast Holdings”), a related party at September 30, 2015.  The Assignment sells and assigns to Vast Holdings, in consideration of ten dollars ($10.00), all of the Company’s right, title, interest and estate, real or personal, movable or immovable, tangible or intangible, in and to the assets held or owned by the Company in the State of North Dakota, including but not limited to: oil, gas and/or mineral leases, fee mineral interests, leasehold estates, mineral interests, royalty interests, overriding royalty interests, reversionary interests, net profits interests, and other similar rights, estates and interests and other agreements, the oil, gas, and other hydrocarbons produced from or attributable to the assets and all units, wells, equipment, contracts, and records. Vast Holdings did not assume various liabilities associated with the North Dakota assets, including, but not limited to, working and royalty interests payable and liabilities associated with reclamation of the North Dakota properties.


Vast Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vast Exploration, LLC.  Vast Exploration is a controlling shareholder of the Company, the contract operator of the Company’s oil and gas properties and an affiliate of Vast Petroleum Corp., an entity that entered into a joint development agreement for the Company’s oil and gas operations in Kansas in May 2014.   The Assignment was made in lieu of foreclosure of certain Company debt obligations and the Company determined ten dollars was appropriate monetary consideration.


The Company incurred a loss on conveyance of the North Dakota properties of $28,238 which is included in “Loss on leases and equipment” and charged to operations.


The total of the Company's investment in proved properties and equipment at September 30, 2015 and 2014, consists of the following capitalized costs respectively:

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE LINE OF CREDIT RELATED PARTY


On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving credit loan agreement (“Loan”) with Vast Exploration, LLC (the “Lender” or “Vast Exploration”).


The Loan permits the Company to borrow up to $100,000 with an interest rate equal to 1.5% per month of the unpaid principal balance on the loan. The Company is required to pay principal on demand or, if not sooner demanded, then on or before June 30, 2016.  The Company is required to pay interest on demand or, if not sooner demanded, then on the 1st day of each month, commencing August 1, 2015. After demand, interest on the outstanding balance of the Loan will accrue at a rate equal to 2% per month. Vast Exploration has the right, at any time after the date of the Loan, at its election, to convert all or part of the Loan into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of the lesser of 1) $0.005 per share ($0.50 per share post reverse stock split) or 2) 50% of the average of the three lowest trades during the twenty-five previous trading days preceding a conversion.


On August 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Modification Agreement with Vast Exploration (“Modification Agreement”).  The Modification Agreement adjusts the maximum principal balance that may be borrowed from $100,000 to $150,000.  At its sole discretion, Vast Exploration may increase the maximum principal balance beyond $150,000.


On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Line of Credit Modification Agreement with Vast Exploration (“Second Modification Agreement”).  The Second Modification Agreement amends the conversion price in the Loan to a non-variable conversion price of $0.005 per share of common stock ($0.50 per share of common stock post reverse stock split). Advances related to reclamation of North Dakota properties (Note 18) may be converted at a non-variable conversion price of $0.025 per share of common stock ($0.25 per share of common stock post reverse stock split).


As of September 30, 2015, the Loan balance was $170,285. The balance of accrued interest on the Loan including origination and modification fees at September 30, 2015 was $16,183 and is included in “accrued interest, related party”.  The balance of the Loan and accrued interest thereon was convertible to 378,530 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the amended conversion price.


NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES  


During the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, the Company issued, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, 10% convertible debentures with a face value of $2,000,000 (the “2010 and 2011 Convertible Debentures”). All of the debentures had a two-year maturity and were issued with attached common stock purchase warrants. The effective interest rate on the debentures was, and is, 10% per annum. The debentures were secured by all assets of the Company except those specifically excluded in the agreement which include all Kansas properties and related assets.  


The debentures were convertible at any time after the original issue date into a number of shares of the registrant’s common stock, determined by dividing the amount to be converted by an initial conversion price of $0.18 per share ($18.00 post reverse stock split). In addition to the debentures the purchasers were issued an aggregate of 2,833,113 common share purchase warrants, each having a term of 42 months, expiring April 2014, and giving the purchasers the right to purchase the Company’s common shares at an initial exercise price of $0.18 per share ($18.00 per share post reverse stock split). Subsequent to the initial issue date, the initial conversion price of $0.18 per share ($18.00 per share post reverse stock split) was amended based on provisions in the agreements related to equity issuances and issuance of additional convertible debentures.  These provisions required that the conversion option was accounted for as a derivative liability (Note 9).  The conversion price was amended on or about January 9, 2012, to $0.50 per share ($5.00 per share post reverse stock split). On April 23, 2013, the conversion price was modified to $0.01 per share ($1.00 per share post reverse stock split) for up to 25% of the outstanding shares.  The maturity date was modified to December 31, 2013.


Fiscal year ended September 30, 2014


Modification of debt  


On November 5, 2013, an investor converted $35,000 in convertible debentures at $0.01 per share.  Pursuant to this conversion, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of common stock (35,000 shares of stock at exercise price of $1.00 per share post reverse stock split).

JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015




On June 3, 2014, the Company entered into a Partial Reset of Conversion Price for the 2010 and 2011 Convertible Debentures agreement (the “2014 Partial Reset”) with one of the Investors.  Under the terms of the 2014 Partial Reset, the Investor and the Company agreed to the following terms:


The Investor has the right to convert, into common stock of the Company, up to two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) of the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding at a Conversion Price equal to $0.01 per share ($1.00 per share post reverse stock split).


The Company considered the impact of ASC 470-50 “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments” of the 2014 Partial Reset and concluded it constituted a substantial modification and therefore should be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt.  During the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $383,951 representing the change in fair value of the conversion option because of the modification.  


On or about June 3, 2014, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with an institutional investor, an accredited investor and the former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, wherein the Company agreed to issue $600,000 (total) of Secured Convertible Debentures (“2014 Debentures”). The Debentures are due sixty (60) months from the date of closing. The Debentures are secured by a security agreement granting the Investors a security interest in and to all of the Company’s assets located in the State of Kansas.  At closing, the Company also entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement pledging, as additional security, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the capital stock of JayHawk Gas Transportation Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the owner of the Company’s gas transmission pipeline in Kansas).


The Debentures are convertible at any time after the original issue date into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, determined by dividing the amount to be converted by a conversion price of $0.01 per share, or an aggregate of 60,000,000 shares ($1.00 per share or an aggregate of 600,000 shares post reverse stock split).


Additionally, each investor received rights to a Wastewater Disposal Fee; and a Royalty Interest.


On the date of issue, the price for the Company’s common stock exceeded the $0.01 conversion price ($1.00 post reverse split conversion price) stated in the debentures. Management determined that the favorable exercise price represented a beneficial conversion feature. Using the intrinsic value method at the debenture date, a total discount of $600,000 was recognized on the debentures. The discount is being amortized over the term of the debentures using the straight-line method, which approximated the effective interest method. The Company recorded $120,000 and $40,000 in interest expense related to the amortization of the discount for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The remaining discount balance was $440,000 at September 30, 2015.


Fiscal year ended September 30, 2015


On or about April 17, 2015, the former Chairman assigned for consideration a $200,000 convertible debenture originally issued in 2014 to Vast Exploration, LLC (“Vast Exploration”), a related party.   On or about April 17, 2015, Vast Exploration also was assigned for consideration to the holder a $200,000 convertible debenture originally issued in 2014 and held by an institutional investor.


On April 17, 2015, Vast Exploration also acquired, from the various original institutional holders, the Convertible Debentures originally issued by the Company on or about December 11, 2009, December 30, 2009, April 22, 2010 and October 18, 2010 (collectively the “Convertible Debentures”).  Vast Exploration also acquired two outstanding convertible debentures originally issued by the Company on or about June 3, 2014, in aggregate amount of $400,000 from an institutional holder and a related party to the Company.


On or about April 17, 2015, Vast Exploration notified the Company of its intent to hold the Company in default of certain provisions of the 2010 and 2011 Convertible Debentures, including but not limited to additional interest at 18% and recalculating the principal balances to 125% of their face amount retroactive to the last known date of compliance. The increase in principal balance of the debentures as a result of the default at date of notification was $259,963.  The increase in additional accrued interest on the debentures as a result of the default at the date of notification was $300,441. The total $560,404 was recognized as finance expense during the year ended September 30, 2015.  As of September 30, 2015, a portion of the Convertible Debentures and accrued interest remain in default and consequently are classified as “current liabilities”.

JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015




Effective April 30, 2015 the Company entered into an agreement, with Vast Exploration, to amend the Company’s outstanding 2010 and 2011 convertible debentures held by Vast Exploration.  Under the terms of the Amendment to Convertible Debentures the “Conversion Price” for the remaining entire outstanding balance owed by the Company under the Convertible Debentures was reset to $1.00 per share.  The amendment to the convertible debentures includes a conversion feature that allows the principal and accrued interest of the loans to be converted into common stock of Jayhawk Energy, Inc. at $0.01 per share ($1.00 per share post stock split) at the option of related party Convertible Debenture holders.  These Convertible Debentures and accrued interest as of April 30, 2015, would convert into 207,954,477 shares of the Company’s common stock (2,079,545 of the Company’s common stock post reverse stock split).  The Amendment to Convertible Debentures also eliminated certain provisions of the convertible debentures that required convertible derivative accounting rules to be applied to the convertible debentures (See Note 8).


The fair value of the conversion feature prior to amendment of the agreement was $286,952.   The Company estimated the fair value of the amended conversion feature to be $1,244,472.  The Company, therefore, recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $957,528.  The Black Scholes model inputs utilized to estimate the fair value of the amended conversion feature was:  Stock price $0.01 per share; risk-free interest rate = 0.01%; expected term = 3 months; expected volatility = 286.6%.


On April 30, 2015, Vast Exploration gave the Company written Notice of Conversion of four of the 2010 and 2011 Convertible Debentures into the Company's common stock.  Vast Exploration converted $828,211 of the principal balance and $359,287 of accrued interest of the debentures for a total conversion of $1,187,498.   The conversion price was $0.01 per share ($1.00 per share post reverse stock split).   The Company issued 118,749,800 shares of its common stock (1,187,498 shares of its common stock post reverse stock split).  As a result of the conversion, Vast Exploration became the majority shareholder of the Company and owns 59.4% of the common stock at September 30, 2015.


The aggregate debenture and accrued interest balance due to Vast Exploration as of September 30, 2015 is $1,103,038 which is convertible at any time after the original issue date into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, determined by dividing the amount to be converted by a conversion price of $0.01 per share, or an aggregate of 110,303,800) shares of the Company’s common stock ($1.00 per share or an aggregate of 1,103,038 post reverse stock split).

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company had convertible debentures which contained provisions allowing holders of the debentures to convert outstanding debt to shares of the Company's common stock (Note 8). The debentures contained anti-dilution provisions which call for the debt conversion and warrant exercise prices to be reduced based on future issues of debt or equity with more favorable provisions.  Management has determined that these provisions cause the conversion options and warrants to require derivative liability accounting.  As such, management valued them at fair value at the date of issuance.  


During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into a modification agreement with the holders of the convertible debentures.  The modification agreement changed the conversion price to $1.00 per common share and also specifically eliminated provisions of the debentures requiring conversion derivative accounting.  The fair value of the derivative liability on that date of $1,244,472 was charged to ‘additional paid-in capital’.


Conversion option derivative


At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of conversion options was estimated at the period’s end using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions.

NOTE 11.  ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company has identified asset retirement obligations at the Girard, Kansas and Crosby, North Dakota operating sites.  These retirement obligations are determined based on the estimated cost to comply with abandonment regulations established by the Kansas Corporation Commission and the State of North Dakota.  The Company's engineers have estimated the cost, to comply with these regulations.  These estimates have been projected out to the anticipated retirement date 6 to 15 years in the future, at an assumed inflation rate of 1.5 percent.  These amounts were discounted back at an assumed interest rate of 10 percent, to arrive at a net present value of the obligation. The amount of the annual increase in the obligation is charged to accretion expense and for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, was computed to be $15,217 and $14,603, respectively.  The remaining balance on the Company’s North Dakota Asset Retirement Obligation liability is $133,481


During the year ended September 30, 2015, with respect to its Kansas properties, the Company has revised its estimate to include additional well bores not previously considered to be subject to remediation exposure for the Company.  The increase in present value liability was added to the Company’s Asset Retirement Obligation Asset which shall be amortized over the remaining useful life of the Kansas asset.   The Company has revised its estimate on the remaining Kansas Asset Retirement Obligation to $112,311 as of September 30, 2015.

On September 30, 2015, the Company issued 1,500 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $1,500 to a related party in consideration for termination of a lease agreement and settlement of liabilities of $17,113.


NOTE 13 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION


The Company’s board of directors approved a stock and option plan on August 11, 2009 (the “Plan”).  The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees and consultants of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries with an increased incentive to make significant and extraordinary contributions to the long-term performance and growth of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, to join the interests of employees and consultants with the interests of the shareholders of the Corporation, and to facilitate attracting and retaining employees and consultants of exceptional ability.  The total number of shares available for grant under the terms of the Plan is 4,000,000.  The number of shares subject to the Plan and any outstanding awards will be adjusted appropriately by the Board of Directors if the Company’s common stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets.  


On October 10, 2013, the Board of Directors rescinded, from various officers and directors, 20,400 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.  The rescinded options had a strike price of $2.00 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  Also on October 10, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the grant, to various officers and directors, of 40,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.  The options have a strike price of $1.00 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and vest over 9 months.  The concurrent grant of a replacement award was accounted for as a modification of terms and resulted in an offset to compensation expense of $20,151 during the year ended September 30, 2014.


The Company recognizes compensation expense straight-line over the vesting term.  Historically, the Company has issued new shares to satisfy exercises of stock options and the Company expects to issue new shares to satisfy any future exercises of stock options.

The Company has concluded that the guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes had no significant impact on the results of operations or financial position as of September 30, 2015 or 2014.  Therefore, the Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2015 or 2014.  As a result, tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances would not be meaningful.  If interest and penalties were to be assessed, the Company would charge interest expense and penalties to other operating expense.  It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. The Company is currently delinquent in their federal and state tax filings.  Fiscal years 2010 through 2015 remain subject to examination by state and federal tax authorities.


On April 30, 2015, Vast Exploration, LLC acquired over 50% of the outstanding stock of the Company.  This change in ownership limits the future use of net operating losses due to Code Section 382.  Management has not determined the effect of the limitation at this time.


NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


The Company is obligated to pay royalties to holders of oil and natural gas interests in both North Dakota and Kansas operations.  The Company also is obligated to pay working interest holders a pro-rata portion of revenue in oil operations net of shared operating expenses.  The amounts are based on monthly oil and natural gas sales and are charged monthly net of oil and gas revenue and recognized as "Due to royalty and working interest holders" on the Company's balance sheet.


On August 1, 2013, the North Dakota Industrial Commission (“NDIC”) submitted an administrative complaint to the State of North Dakota related to plugging and remediation of the Company’s Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 wells in Crosby, ND. The administrative complaint alleged the Company violated certain portions of the North Dakota Century Code and requested administrative relief against Jayhawk Energy, Inc. for violation of sections of the North Dakota Administrative Code governing the oil and gas industry.


On or about August 12, 2013, the Company responded to the administrative complaint and entered into settlement negotiations with the NDIC. As a good faith effort, the Company began plugging the Knudsen #1 well on or about December 20, 2013.  The work required to plug the Knudsen #1 well was completed in January 2014.  The range of associated penalties as proposed by the NDIC was $100,000 to $525,000 for failure to comply.


As September 30, 2013, the Company accrued $330,000 as an estimate of total liability related to the Jenks and Knudsen reclamation. For the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company revised the estimate related to the Jenks and Knudsen reclamation and paid an additional $190,947 for completion of remaining remediation.


On February 18, 2014, the Company entered into a Consent Agreement with the State of North Dakota whereby the Company was required to finish reclamation work, by June 30, 2014, on the two waste water storage pits adjacent to the Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 wells respectively.  The Consent Agreement required the Company to plug the “production zone” of the Jenks #1 well. Once plugging was completed, the Company could then apply for a permit to convert the Jenks #1 well into a salt water disposal well.  As a part of the Consent Agreement the Company agreed to pay a civil penalty of no less than $105,000, consisting of $25,000 due and payable upon execution of the Consent Agreement and a $16,000 installment payment per month for five successive months thereafter.  If the Company failed to comply with the terms of the Consent Agreement, the Company would be subject to penalties of up to an additional $420,000 (over and above the $105,000 penalty agreed to in the Consent Agreement). The Company made the initial $25,000 payment and subsequently made each monthly payment with the final installment of $16,000 paid to the State of North Dakota on June 26, 2014.

JAYHAWK ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015




The Company made the final installment payment of $16,000 to the State of North Dakota on June 26, 2014.  As of September 30, 2014 the Company has completed substantially all reclamation work and has paid all fines assessed.


On July 10, 2014, the Company completed reclamation work on both the Jenks #1 and Knudsen #1 waste water storage pits.  Although reclamation work was to have been completed by June 30, 2014, unseasonably heavy rains which saturated the soil and limited safe access to the site by heavy equipment delayed scheduled reclamation until such time as ground conditions improved. The Company also completed plugging of the ‘production zone’ on the Jenks #1 well and set a balance plug on the Knudsen #1 well bore.  


Due to JayHawk’s failure to timely submit a cost estimate for the final plugging, abandonment and reclamation of the Jenks #1 well and site, the NDIC, on January 28, 2015, pursuant to Commission Order No. 25588 ordered JayHawk to file a $120,000 bond covering the Jenks #1. The bond was a plugging and reclamation bond.


On May 9, 2015, the Company received a copy of a Summons and Complaint filed by the State of North Dakota and the NDIC in the Northwest Judicial District Court of North Dakota alleging JayHawk had violated N.D.C.C. Chapter 38-08 by failing to post the $120,000 plugging and reclamation bond pursuant to Commission Order No. 25588. N.D.C.C. § 38-08-16 provides that anyone who violates a provision of N.D.C.C. Chapter 38-08, or any rule or regulation of the Commission is subject to a penalty of up to $12,500 for each offense, and each day’s violation is a separate offense. The Complaint’s prayer for relief requested that JayHawk be ordered to deposit $120,000 with the Bank of North Dakota to satisfy the Commission’s requirement for the plugging and reclamation bond on the Jenks #1 well. The NDIC also requested that JayHawk pay a fine of $12,500 per day beginning February 4, 2015, for failure to provide a plugging and reclamation bond on the Jenks #1. The Company subsequently met with the NDIC, which resulted in the NDIC staying the litigation subject to JayHawk’s immediate plugging, abandonment and reclamation of the Jenks #1. In September of 2015 the Company completed final plugging and abandonment of the Jenks #1 and completed a partial reclamation of the well and site.


On February 12, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Staff of the Corporation Commission of the State of Kansas with respect to a Penalty Order served by the Company for failure to comply with certain portions of the Kansas Administrative Regulations.  The Company was found in violation of failure to plug, return to service or temporarily abandon 71 wells and assessed a $7,100 penalty, of which $3,100 was payable immediately, a $2,000 payment due by April 1, 2015 and the final $2,000 payment by May 1, 2015.  The Company has subsequently submitted 71 temporary abandonment applications, of which 71 applications were approved.  The Company has up to one year to plug the wells, return them to service or file additional temporary abandonment applications.  


NOTE 19 – GAIN ON SETTLEMENT OF LIABILITIES


During the year ended September 30, 2015, the former President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors forgave $84,500 of accrued compensation and four members of the Company’s board of directors entered into agreements in which $206,250 of accrued directors’ fees were forgiven in consideration of 6,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $6,000. The Company recognized ‘gain on settlement of liabilities” of $284,750.


During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company executed a settlement agreement with a vendor. As consideration for forgiveness of $36,983 including accrued interest, the vendor received a cash payment of $8,000. The Company recognized ‘gain on settlement of liabilities” of $18,540.


During the year ended September 30, 2015, an entity controlled by a related party to the former President and Chairman of the Board of directors entered into a Lease Termination Agreement whereby certain leased property formerly utilized by the Company was returned to the related party.  As consideration for forgiveness of $17,113 due from the Company per the terms of the Lease, the related party received 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $1,500 and the Company relinquished a security deposit of $1,500.  The Company recognized ‘gain on settlement of liabilities” of $15,363.

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Warrant Purchase Agreement


On September 25, 2015, the Company executed a Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company plans to issue and sell securities.  The terms of the Purchase Agreement allow a purchaser to receive a credit for its subscription for securities if the purchaser assumes certain accrued and/or contingent liabilities of the Company. The exercise price for the securities is $0.0050 per share for securities issued in exchange for the satisfaction of an assumed debt. The exercise price for the securities is $0.0025 per share for securities issued in exchange for the satisfaction of an assumed North Dakota reclamation liability. The securities are subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Company’s common stock that occur after the date of the Purchase Agreement. Each purchaser is required to deliver to the Company, prior to the issuance of securities, the following: (a) immediately available funds sufficient to satisfy or otherwise terminate a given liability; or (b) a “receipt of funds and release of claims” executed by a creditor of the Company, or other evidence, in a form satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion, of the satisfaction of an assumed debt or North Dakota reclamation liability by the purchaser.


On October 8, 2015, the Company granted 943,337 Warrants to Vast Exploration, LLC pursuant to that certain Warrant Purchase Agreement dated September 25, 2015.   The Warrants were granted in consideration of Vast Exploration’s assumption of certain Company liabilities totaling approximately $471,668.  The warrants may be exercised any time after October 8, 2015 until the close of business on October 7, 2020 for $0.50 per share.


On November 3, 2015, the Company granted 396,459 Warrants to Vast Exploration, LLC and/or assigns pursuant to that certain Warrant Purchase Agreement dated September 25, 2015.  The Warrants were granted in consideration of Vast Exploration’s elimination of certain Company liabilities totaling approximately $198,229.  The warrants may be exercised any time after November 3, 2015 until the close of business on November 3, 2020 for $0.50 per share.


NOTE 21 – SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (Unaudited)


In January 2010, the FASB issued an ASU to amend existing oil and gas reserve accounting and disclosure guidance to align its requirements with the SEC's revised rules discussed in Note 1.  The significant revisions involved revised definitions of oil and gas producing activities, changing the pricing used to estimate reserves the period end to a twelve-month arithmetic average of the first day of the month prices and additional disclosure requirements.  In contrast to the SEC rule, the FASB does not permit the disclosure of probable and possible reserves in the supplemental oil and gas information in the notes to the financial statements.  The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009.  Application of the revised rules is prospective and companies are not required to change prior period presentation to conform to the amendments.  Application of the amended guidance has only resulted in changes to the prices used to determine proved reserves at December 31, 2009.  The new guidelines have expanded the definition of proved undeveloped reserves that can be recorded from an economic producer did not impact or prove undeveloped reserves.  


The Company follows the guidelines prescribed in ASC 932 for computing a standardized measure of future cash net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves.  Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying prices and costs, including transportation, quality and basis differentials to the year-end estimated quantities of oil and gas to be produced in the future.  The resulting net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a ten percent annual discount factor.  Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in producing the proved oil and gas reserves in place at the end of the period using year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing conditions, plus Company overhead incurred.  Future development costs are determined based on estimates of capital expenditures to be incurred in developing proved oil and gas reserves.  


The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC.  The assumptions do not necessarily reflect the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be derived from these reserves, nor their present value.  The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process.  The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimate of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of establishing proved producing oil properties.  Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of “proved” and “proved-developed” oil reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir.  The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving

September 30, 2015



production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions.  As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time.  Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the financial statements disclosures.


Proved oil reserve quantities at September 30, 2014 and the related future net cash flows are based on the estimates prepared by independent petroleum engineers.  


The following reserve quantity and future net cash flow information for 2014 was prepared by Cedar Technical Associates and are consistent with internal estimates.  The Company provided Cedar Technical Associates with engineering, geological and geophysical data, actual production histories and other information necessary for the reserve determination.  The reserve estimates were prepared based on economic and operating conditions existing at September 30, 2014.  


At September 30, 2015, the Company held no ownership interest in proved developed oil reserves due to conveyance of its North Dakota property (Note 5).


All of the Company's oil reserves were within the continental United States in the states of North Dakota.  Based on the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph, presented below (in barrels) is a summary of changes to the Company's net interest in proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves for the years ending September 30, 2015 and 2014:

The reserves in this report have been estimated using deterministic methods.  For wells classified as proved developed producing where sufficient production history existed, reserves were based on individual well performance evaluation and production decline curve extrapolation techniques.  For undeveloped locations and wells that lacked sufficient production history, reserves were based on analogy to producing wells within the same area exhibiting similar geologic and reservoir characteristics, combined with volumetric methods.  The volumetric estimates were based on geologic maps and rock and fluid properties derived from well logs, core data, pressure measurements, and fluid samples.  Well spacing was determined from drainage patterns derived from a combination of performance-based recoveries and volumetric estimates for each area or field.  Proved undeveloped locations were limited to areas of uniformly high quality reservoir properties, between existing commercial producers.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flow


The following Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flow information has been developed utilizing ASC 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas (ASC 932) procedures and based on estimated oil reserve and production volumes.  It can be used for some comparisons, but should not be the only method used to evaluate the Company or the Company performance.  Further, the information in the following table may not represent realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows be viewed as representative of the Company’s current value.  


The Company believes that the following factors should be taken into account when reviewing the following information:


·

future costs and selling prices will probably differ from those required to be used in these calculations;

·

due to future market conditions and governmental regulations, actual rates of production in future years may vary significantly from the rate of production assumed in the calculations;

·

a 10% discount rate may not be reasonable as a measure of the relative risk in realizing future net oil reserves; and

·

future net revenues may be subject to different rates of income taxation.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.  


None.


Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


In connection with the preparation of this report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2015.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


During the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2015, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, which management considers an integral component of disclosure controls and procedures. Material weaknesses identified include the lack of any segregation of duties, lack of appropriate accounting policies and management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the material weaknesses identified, management concluded that Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.


Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses, management believes that the consolidated financial statements in this report on Form 10-K-A fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition as reported, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:


*

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;


*

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors; and


*

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  As a result of this assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.


A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.



51






The material weaknesses identified are disclosed below.


Ineffective Oversight of Financial Reporting.  The Company has not provided an appropriate level of oversight of the financial reporting process and has not appropriately monitored the Company’s system of internal control.  The Company’s monitoring of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting did not result in appropriate actions taken by management to remedy the deficiencies in the process to assess internal control over financial reporting. The Company has no independent audit committee overseeing the financial reporting process.


Failure to Segregate Duties. Management has not maintained any segregation of duties within the Company due to its reliance on a few individuals to fill multiple roles and responsibilities.  Our failure to segregate duties has been a material weakness for the period covering this report.


Sufficiency of Accounting Resources. The Company has limited accounting personnel to prepare its financial statements. The insufficiency of our accounting resources has been a material weakness for the period covering this report.


As a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company's management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.


This report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting


During the period ended September 30, 2015, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.


Item 9B. Other Information.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.


Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% owners are required by certain SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.


Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by it, we believe that during 2015, there was compliance with the filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and 10% common stockholders.


Code of Ethics.


We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial and accounting officer, controller and persons performing similar functions. We will provide to any person, without charge, upon request, a copy of such Code of Ethics, as amended. Requests should be addressed to the address appearing on the cover page of this Annual Report on Form 10-K-A, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

Corporate Governance.


Term of Office


Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders until their successors are duly appointed and qualified or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors. Except as set forth in the section entitled "Executive Compensation," there are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. Our bylaws provide that officers are appointed annually by our board of directors and each executive officer serves at the discretion of our board of directors.


Director Independence


We use the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:


·

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;


·
