Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

 

Note 1 – General

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its June 30, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

The basic loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period of the financial statements. Stock warrants convertible into 10,933,334 shares of common stock have not been included in the fully diluted income per share calculation for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2018 or the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, thereby reducing the net loss per common share.

 

Note 3 – Derivative Liability

 

The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability arising from the over commitment of shares at each reporting period with the change in the fair value recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under the Company’s control. Therefore, the resulting effect on net loss is subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s outstanding warrants are converted into common stock, or the Company increases its authorized shares in excess of its committed shares. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

 

When the Company determines that is does not have sufficient shares to meet the obligations of derivative unexercised warrants, the derivatives must be valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model and a liability is recorded as though the obligations would be settled using some means other than stock. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company determined that it was over committed to the number of shares issuable on the exercise of outstanding warrants for approximately 3,800,000 shares, resulting in the recognition of non-cash expenses of $76,514 during the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Note 4 - Common Stock

 

During August 2017, the Company issued 714,286 shares of common stock for cash at $0.07 per share for proceeds of $50,000.

 

During December 2017, the Company issued 142,857 shares of common stock for cash at $0.07 per share for proceeds of $10,000.

 

During February 2018, the Company issued 1,071,429 shares of common stock for cash at $0.07 per share for proceeds of $75,000.

 

During March 2018, the Company issued 214,286 shares of common stock for cash at $0.07 per share for proceeds of $15,000.

(“Hycarbex”), respectively, in furtherance of the prior interim orders of the Arbitration Tribunal. The new action filed in the Sindh, Karachi High Court named as defendants Sui Southern, Hycarbex, its parent company, Hycarbex Asia Pte. Ltd. (“Hycarbex Asia”) and two additional pro forma defendants and requests an injunction against Sui Southern against payment to Hycarbex of 18% of the total proceeds of gas sales. The requested injunction was granted to us by the Karachi Court but later vacated as premature as it pertains to the third party gas gatherer. However, we also filed in the Islamabad High Court an action against Hycarbex, Hycarbex Asia and Hydro Tur as defendants and obtained injunctive relief against Hycarbex from interference with the Arbitration Tribunal-ordered notifications to Sui Southern to pay us directly our 18% of production, and injunctive relief requiring Hycarbex to escrow the 18% of production which would have been payable to the Company. On April 15, 2015, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal rendered its Partial Final Award in the pending arbitration proceedings which declared that the November 9, 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company, Hycarbex and Hydro-Tur, which was amended on February 16, 2004, and December 15, 2009, is void ab initio and of no legal effect on account of the fraud and misrepresentations of Hycarbex, Hydro-Tur and Hycarbex-Asia and that the Company is thus the 100% owner of the common stock of Hycarbex relating back to the original Stock Purchase Agreement date of November 9, 2003. In connection with its findings, the ICC Arbitration Tribunal ordered that the register of shareholders for Hycarbex be corrected to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia take any and all steps necessary to effect the rectification of the register of shareholders of Hycarbex to reflect the Company as the owner of 100% of the common stock, and that Hycarbex and Hycarbex-Asia bear all costs of the arbitration proceedings, including the Company’s legal costs, which costs and fees are to be fixed by the ICC Arbitration Tribunal in a subsequent award after submission of the total costs and fees by AEGG. The ICC Arbitration Tribunal dismissed Hydro-Tur’s application for costs. The April 15 Award makes moot certain of the pending actions in Pakistan due to the recovery of ownership of 100% of the stock of Hycarbex.

 

The Company has effected the shareholder and management registration changes ordered by the ICC and has caused Hycarbex to open a new office in Islamabad, Pakistan for Hycarbex’s future operations. The new management of Hycarbex has also assumed control of Hycarbex’s Pakistan personnel. Finally, the new management of Hycarbex has begun its efforts to assume complete control of the Pakistan-based assets, including review and appraisement of each asset and interfacing with the local oil and gas regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over those assets to assure regulatory compliance. The Government of Pakistan, including the Ministry of Petroleum, the Director General of Petroleum Concessions, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and the Pakistan Board of Investment have each advised that they view the Company as the legal owner of Hycarbex. Further, subsequent to March 31, 2018, the Government of Pakistan granted to Hycarbex an extension to the Yasin Exploration License relating back to the date of the request for extension in March, 2013. Planning has been initiated toward development and exploration activities for the Yasin Exploration License based on this extension. The extension is subject to performance requirements pertaining to seismic, rework of the Haseeb #1 Well and the work program financial obligations which are being reviewed by Management and which will be discussed with the Government of Pakistan as the work at the site moves forward. Management intends to conduct a detailed review of the benefits and obligations associated with these Pakistan-based assets.

 

Note 8 – Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2018, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets and it has recorded negative cash flows from operations. The preceding circumstances combine to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has been successful in capital raises in the past to continue operations, but there can be no assurance that success will continue in the future.

 

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, management of the Company has reviewed all material events from March 31, 2018 through the date the financial statements were issued. Subsequent to March 31, 2018 the Company received $50,000 from a current shareholder relating to a stock purchase agreement entered into after the quarter ended March 31, 2018 whereby the shareholder agreed to purchase 714,286 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $50,000. Subsequent to March 31, 2018, the Company borrowed $50,000 from a current shareholder with interest at 5% payable in full at maturity.

During the year ended June 30, 2016, we were advised by Heritage Oil and Gas Limited (Heritage), the operator of both the Zamzama North and the Sanjawi Exploration Licenses, that both a Notice of Termination (Sanjawi Petroleum Concession Agreement – notice dated February 12, 2016) and a Notice of Breach (Zamzama North Petroleum Concession Agreement – notice dated February 22, 2016) were issued to Heritage by the Director General of Petroleum Concessions of the Government of Pakistan. With respect to the Sanjawi Petroleum Concession, Heritage has acknowledged and accepted the notice of termination in regards to the Sanjawi Petroleum Concession Agreement because of local safety concerns which could substantially impair development operations.. With regard to the Notice of Breach pertaining to the Zamzama North Petroleum Concession Agreement, Heritage has contested the notice while asserting that all reasonable efforts have been made to fulfill its work commitments and financial obligations under the Concession Agreement but was prevented from achieving the tasks for reasons outside its control. Despite the force majeure assertions under the terms of the Concession Agreement to the DGPC, we have determined that it is reasonably possible that our working interest investment in the Zamzama North Block may be lost if the Concession Agreement is terminated.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2018 reflected net (losses) of $(352,401) and $(723,797), respectively, as compared to net losses of $(146,234) and $(840,695), respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  

We have funded our operations through private loans and the private sale of securities due to the non-payment by Hycarbex of the 18% of production revenues from the Haseeb #1 Well while the litigation and arbitration proceedings with the Hycarbex parties was ongoing. We sold 1,857,143 shares during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 for $130,000 and subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2018 have received the balance of an additional $50,000 for which we will issue an additional 714,286 shares. The funds have been and will continue to be utilized for general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company, including the non-recurring legal and accounting costs associated with the pending litigation in Pakistan and, where necessary, the administrative expenses incurred by the newly acquired subsidiary, Hycarbex.

 

While the April 15 Arbitration Award decreed that we are the 100% owner of Hycarbex, the recent cessation of production from the Haseeb #1 Well due to water infusion into the wellbore will mean that production revenues will not be available as a source of capital unless and until the well is successfully reworked to correct the problem and re-establish commercial production. Based upon available cost estimates, management believes that Hycarbex can bear these workover costs has formulated the workover plan. While a successful workover of the Haseeb #1 Well cannot be assured, due to the available technical data, management believes that the well can be repaired so as to re-establish commercial gas production. Management is likewise optimistic that its ongoing negotiations with potential strategic development partners will result in the consummation of a transaction which will provide needed capital for the development of the other Hycarbex exploration licenses and funding of future administrative costs. We will seek additional loans or make additional sales of securities in the future, as necessary, to fund the Company’s working capital needs as they arise in the event that the anticipated results are not achieved. There is no assurance of management’s ability to secure loans or consummate securities sales to meet working capital requirements.

ITEM 3-QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company is not a party to nor does it engage in any activities associated with derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments and/or derivative commodity instruments.

 

ITEMS 4 AND 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2018, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There have been no material changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. 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.
